Boy, that really cuts down on the studio time.... 10 minutes. I guess that they have that formula down pat. It reminded me of the mashup that someone put out about 10 years back. It shows how the "formula" was used before AI was doing this.

I find it curious that the TV license covers things like broadcasts on Amazon Prime, Youtube or Netflix (real time) or from broadcasts originating outside the UK, yet the funds go only to the BBC. I could see it if the BBC provided the content and broadcast it via transmitter or...

Agreed.... that's not something that I've ever had to deal with. I guess I could have ordered a computer from a Mexican outlet! I no hablo the Espanol . Or I could have gotten one from Alibaba. 我也不會說中文 :confused: You did finally get everything switched over to English, right?

That hasn't been my experience at all. Years ago, I bought a generic 4th Gen Core I5 Lenovo desktop for less than $500. Installed the interface drivers, put on Reaper, and it's been running for well on to 11 years. I added a 2TB Barracuda drive for data storage. It went from Win 7 to Win...

I had the door open, the lights on, and a bag of Twix bars in the bowl in the hallway. There wasn't a single knock or doorbell heard. Now I have to eat all those Twix bars myself. It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it! 🍬

Probably close, but wider delay time.

It really shouldn't make a difference. The coils are going to be the essentially the same, the polarity is reversed and the magnets are flipped. Occasionally humbuckers can have unbalanced coils, so it might make a small difference whether the dominant coil is placed closer to the bridge...

The original Abbey Road process would vary the delay to give the illusion of two voices not exactly in sync.

I'm guessing you need to lock on to the knurled brass piece with something like pliers, and then turn the shock mount. You don't want to apply the pressure through the boom arm. Remember the old adage.... righty tighty, lefty loosey. Oscar will never reply. He posted once in 2019, never...

Oh, I play a lot of electric. I've got a Marshall DSL, a hand wired 65 Princeton Reverb, a Classic 30, a Heritage Patriot and a 1953 National Supreme (Valco). They all sound completely different. The 45W Patriot has massive headroom. By the time I got any distortion out of it, the amp...

Wow, for me, the WA14 was significantly brighter than the SE. I heard much more "body" from the SE. The Warm pushed the string sound a lot more. If I had to choose one, it would be the SE. I would expect there to be a big difference in volume. The sensitivity of the WA14 is 9mV/PA which...

I really don't check out pickup comparisons. They vary SO much. I was referring to people that do a mic evaluation by sticking them in front of a Marshall with an SD1 pedal turned full blast. Then you're supposed to discern a mic's characteristics from that. BTW, I hear people talking...

Izotope has a free vocal doubler. https://www.izotope.com/en/products/vocal-doubler

A clean sound that is reasonably well known (like a strat into a deluxe reverb) could be useful, but I can change the sound with a few turns of the knobs. It's hard to say if the mic conveys what the original sound is like. I've seen comparisons where they basically just dial up a metal...

I think some basic acoustic strumming, and picking is a good start. Piano is also a good one as it has a wider frequency range. When I get a new mic, I'll set up one of my current mics (usually the NT1 for LDC or AKG P170 for SDC) and the new mic and do a bit of guitar and some vocals. I...
