ummm. I have a audio engineer friend who told me that normalizing actually loudens the quiter parts in the sound as a result. Like if you set normalization to 90%, then it finds the level that is 90% of the highest peak and bring the quieter parts up to that level and the louder parts down to...

So what do you guys think of the waves PAZ frequency analyzer for this purpose?

I have a question that one of y'all may be able to shed some light. When a person talks about a sound sitting in a certain spot in the frequency range, where do you really consider it to really be when you have frequencies that often spread far beyond the peaks on the graph. Is this really where...

I grew up in Tacoma. Just thought i'd say wattup! dru

I have a question that I think has something to do with this as well. I've been programming drum parts in Logic and using velocity to give the hits the human feel. In Battery, I have modulation set; velocity-to-volume. I've been running all percussion sounds (except kicks) on one channel because...

For plugins- you can select the track you want to automate, start recording, move your knobs, then go to view/hyperdraw/autodefine and then drag the track to make it taller so you can see the hyperdraw infos. Then you can edit to refine the automation. One thing I've learned the hard way is that...

I'm using Logic for producing my music and have realized that the mixer volume position of the slider never really correlates with the actual levels coming in. I did a test using a sample that was recorded at 0 db and ran it through the mixer and things did seem to correlate fairly well- I was...

Geez. That keyborad makes mine look like a puny piece of shit. i'm pissed. thanks alot mister. hmmmm... maybe I can still take it back!! aha!!! thanks for the info.. dru

Yeah- I have the Oxygen 8. The knobs were very much a plus for me because this keyboard is my only hardware at this point- so I figured it'd make things a bit easier. Don't mean to recommend it since I don't know too much about what's out there- so should I regret owning it myself? I think it's...

This is a very interesting subject. Myself, and likely many other people- probably don't even realize how much goes into recording a sound properly and capturing its true character. I have a sincere intention of learning more about this side of things- because I do want to eventually create...

I see how you can be in trouble if you sample a musical part. In doin this- you are sampling the instrumentalist's skill, you are stealing the tune, you are using the feel that they created in your song. I don't know enough about the rules to even ramble off the message I wrote earlier I guess-...

The interesting thing to me- is that a kick drum is an instrument. How in the hell can a person own the sound of a kick drum? Is this some fantastically unique sounding kick drum? How many of you (rather than recording a person playing a kick drum) actually layer sines and squares to generate...

I just bought one of these last weekend. Although I haven't owned any other controller before- I think this one is really cool for the price. I bought the 25 key model because I can't play the piano with both hands at the same time- it was only $120- as opposed to a comparable keyboard that...

Thanks guys. much appreciated.. dru

Sorry that I'm not too informed about some of this- so I think i need a bit of clarification. So, I should actually put something in-between the speakers and the actual desk surface that they're sitting on??? By saying to place them flush with the edge- do you simply mean to pull them forward to...

upside down?? seems a bit strange... thanks, dru

Can't believe I didn't think of that.. Would this compromise the sound dynamics in any way? ...i thought i read somewhere that that can happen.. Thanks! dru

Hi there- I have what may be a stupid question, but I was thinking that someone might be able to quickly fill me in. Last night I bought a desk that was designed for a homestudio midi set-up sort o' thing and I also bought some PS8s. After assembling the desk- it was a helluva-lot taller than...
