    HELP: How to choose voice acting mic based on *my* voice type? See sample file. Male, not a lot of presence, usu needs compressing to beat bkgd noise.

    Which mics were used on your voice, in the radio and TV recordings that benefited from the compression and presumedly rendered good results for broadcast, that you mentioned? Dale

    Best software for talking book recording

    When I started VO recording, I used Audacity (decent), for a short time. About 9 years ago, I bought Reaper and have not looked back since that time. It has never failed me. Dale

    Best software for talking book recording

    Yep- it's not sexiest form of VO work and a low RoI. But then again, I am no Don LaFontaine, although I have tried to play him on occasion.

    Best software for talking book recording

    Geoffrey' "Best" is a subjective term. I am inferring that you are just starting out, in the audiobook recording realm. Until you get your feet wet, I would suggest giving Audacity (it is free) a try. It will let you learn the basics of recording and editing, while providing enough tools to...

    very cool JoeMeek VC3 just posted on Reverb

    I found that way key. I was able to source some wall warts from Radio Shack, back when they were in business.

    Mastering on reaper

    I think this is what you are referencing.... On mine, the outer bars are RMS, the inner bars are track(s) Peak. I reset my display offset to align -18 to 0. I think default was -14 to 0.

    Mic input too weak

    Boris, I went back and re-read the thread again. I am confused: are dealing with a muffled sound, or wrestling with the concept of how much gain you have to add? I looked at your screenie and see a signal that I could live with. But it is one's ears that tell the tale. It appears to be boosted...

    Telecasters

    A while back, CoolCat was testing Tele-s and it increased my GAS for one. After much research, I've been searching for a steal-of-a-deal, as a cheap start to the Tele-world, and finally landed a pristine, Fender Squier 50s Tele Classic Vibe (Butterscotch). I've only had it for a few days, did my...

    Old Joe Meek Comp / EQ Units

    Mickster Late to the party. I just ran across this thread. I have a VC3Q and tested my SM7B with it, about 6 years ago. I seem to recall it would drive the SM7B. However, it lacks the oomph needed to really open up the 7B, like my CL-1 does. Let me dig through my archives. I may still have an...

    Ok, help an old guy out? CD playback issue.

    I am going to guess that you did not "finalize" the CD.

    Audition 3.0

    Anyone know if AA-3 can do a split view for Waveform and Spectral Views that lays these two views out horizontally, or is this something exclusive to newer versions? I see the new CC-version allows this. But, in my playing around with 3.0, it appears that the views take either/or-priority in the...

    Help with mic'ing/recording acoustic guitar

    I recalibrated my Master meter Offset to "0 = -18". It has been many years, so I do not remember the Reaper default. Right click your Master meter to access the config. Mack Caster: Now, I am wondering if this change affects the plug-in readings. Dale This screenie is from another VO...

    VO booth design

    CC, Once you have run your new 628 through its paces, let me know how it does. I have a couple of the 528E that I use the Cloudlifter to open up my RE20 and SM7B, since the 528E only hits 60dB gain. If that beast can push those mics, I may be hunting one. I looked through my manual and see that...

    Gibson LP Studio vs. Standard- trying to decide

    Ok guys, Would a novice-intermediate player have buyer's remorse purchasing a clean, original guts, well-cared 2008 LP-Studio, for $600? Or will there be a big difference between a Studio and a Standard? I have been fighting LP G.A.S. for a long while, waffling on Epi LPs (just to pacify the...

    Starter pedals?

    I'm a pedal-newb, 50-something rocker wannabe, and realize that this question will open a can of worms. My intent is not for this to degrade into a pissin' contest (as we call it down here on the Po' farm). I know that the answer to my question is preferential and subjective. However, I am...
