TY, James! Definitely don't want to go backwards with something cheap

Good suggestion, Rob, TY

Thanx!

Thanks, Smithers!

Hello Forum: Thank you to all who offer their suggestions on this. I have an old 45 I did back in high school and no longer own a turntable. My question is: what is possibly the best turntable for digitizing with the end of putting it out as a digital stream, etc. ? My main concerns are 1...

Very good point, spantini. At some point we have trust we have an acceptable recording and let it ride. Very hard to do being the writer when you were hearing it a certain way in your head but just can't quite get it there.

Thanks, rob, I should build a fuzz box someday. I think the same is true of so many things in different areas of culture and the arts is an area it is easy to spot, at least after changes have happened in styles and so forth. Knowing how to use limitation can be very helpful (example, the motive...

Thanks, rayc. Is the difference in the timing? One mic picks it a up a millisecond later than the other?

Thanks, Pinky. I wish a lot of the shows would keep that dialogue hearable lol Seems like there's always a critical line that is basically inaudible.

Thanks, Pinky! I know it's been a while since I've checked in; life has been insane lately. I will put a little compression on it, ty. Does that do something more to a recording than just eliminating some annoying peaks?

Did not know about that at EMI! But not super surprised. Did it have any effect on the longevity of mic life? Are mics now more durable in general and able to take more direct attack? Don't know the answers, but I agree, sometimes it's good to pretend you know nothing and dive into something!

So next step: thanks for all the replies! This was a very helpful discussion, and I got my pan worked out. This little bit is to use at the end of a video to be posted on YouTube. So any thoughts will be much appreciated. How does one make their music sound good on YouTube (and other digital...

Hey Slouching Raymond, thanks for the reply! Yes, that would work. What I learned thru this process is it definitely matters where you cut from the wave! If done randomly it may cause some bumps. When I started trying to keep the wave moving along naturally without upsetting drastically the...

Very well said, GrimT! The rules are good as grounding and consistent quality. But when you want something a little bit more, or a little bit different, it's good to experiment and try what works for what you are working on. I am more of a songwriter, teacher, music theorist, and I teach my...

Hello Everyone: I recorded a Bossa Nova rhythm guitar track. I hit one bass note slightly late. I cut out roughly 3/100ths of a second or so just before the bass note, which eliminated that much of the chord, BUT, unfortunately it leaves behind a BUMP noise. Any way to cut without the bump...
