Hi, I usually use windows machines in the studio, not that I am anti mac as I have used macs and windows machines since they turned up. After the Atari 1040 LOL. So I don't want a mac v PC discussion. My moto is that the computer is a box full of components made to do a job. I recently...

Hi, I am in the process of building a new studio computer, when quoting I suggested windows 10 pro, but the computer shop suggested windows 10 home would be fine. Is there any reason to use Pro? This is a off line studio only computer, no internet, no office, only DAW audio. Opinions Alan

Hi All, What I am trying to figure out is is you can lock 2 or 3 tracks together so if you edit one of the tracks it edits the locked tracks. For example, the bass is recorded on 3 tracks, microphone, DI and a track via analog compression. If I want to edit a bad note I have to keep selecting...

The impact on the music industry here (Australia) is starting to take hold. I’m just a small player but so far for me I have had 2 well paying live sound gigs cancelled in the last 2 days. I play in several bands and so far lost 1 gig with more to follow I am sure. My saint Patrick’s day gig...

Have a look at this, talks guitars, amps, Drums etc, but makes a great point about the quality and sound of instruments being the main thing about getting a good sound. Talks about amps also and about getting good amps sounds at lower volumes. I think you will find this interesting. Rick's...

Just came across this on another forum Welcome To X32ReaperAutoMate! – Professional Mixing Automation System For The X/M32 with Reaper™ Funny I was thinking of selling my X32 because I bought it for live mixing but I nearly always use my QSC Touchmix16 as its easier to carry. I may keep the X32...

On the weekend I ran sound for a presentation. It involved people standing at a podium, others having interviews sitting on a couch with handhelds. The room has diabolical acoustics, square room with a skylight ceiling dome, and a simple glass wall down one side with a loud hotel bar behind...

Finally using reaper and buying a license, In mixer view is there a way to change the height (length) of all the channel strips at the same time. I have tried selecting multiple channels and dragging the top up but it still only changes the one channel. Also if you do painstakingly set up a...

This is for sale in Oz, LINK I would really love to have it, but common sense says no, before you wonder about the price, comes with Dolby SR, Tascam Midiizer, Tascam IF-1000, MRL Reproducer Alignment Tapes, and many other things. I have no connection to the sale, thought you may be interested...

Came across this on Youtube, don't know if it's been posted before but nice story: Alan.

Don't you just love gigs that are upstairs. Against my better judgement and because I wanted the money I took a booking for a PA in an upstairs venue in the middle of town, not far from where I lived. First thing is that you get there and there is no parking outside, so I double parked to...

I have just been reading the manual and it seems that Reaper can chase SMPTE code. I am looking to replace my old Atari 1040 (no laughing) midi machine with some other software, and I realised that reaper can do midi well, I also need to chase SMPTE as I have the whole studio locked to SMPTE...

Just thought I would share what I have been live mixing on over the last week, the in house guy has been away so I did all shows. I usually only mix in the small room for Wednesdays and occasionally in the large room for other shows, but from this week all shows are in the large room so at...

I do the sound at a music club one night a week, usually close to $0 but because I believe in keeping this venue open I don't mind. It is a club where people come to listen not get drunk and talk. I get there a good 2 hrs before the show, so I can check the PA is working correctly, as I am not...

I love it when you do a walk in live mix to find yet another brand of digital console that you have to get your head around. One advantage of an in house analog console with some analog out board is that it's easy to figure out. Digital consoles have screens, menus, function buttons, etc etc...

Went to the first show of Adele's Australian tour last night, awesome show. Thanks to the wife for talking me into going. Alan.

I got this link via my Sound on Sound subscription, watched it the other night and found it very interesting. I like the way he like to record bands together in the room, my favourite way of working. Also love his views on compression. Alan.

This proves that all women should have these safety air bags fitted in case they are attacked by a kangaroo. Alan.

My studio computer which is by no means new, runs windows XP Pro due to some software needing XP Pro won't run on windows 7 or 10, but is reasonably fast, is suffering playback glitch problems when running Harrison Mixbus. All other software Reaper, Vegas, Sound forge, etc etc that I have loaded...

I found this video which has some good information about how to improve acoustics in the room, answers a lot of questions we get asked here. There was not much about bass trapping but still good advice. Alan.
