The problem I had with tape was that as a storage medium is was "one shot", and I'm not even thinking of sticky shed problems. I had several cases of tapes in the basement when the water came up about 18 inches. All of those boxes were lost, along with the content. Since then, things...

I'm with PapaNate here. The second one sounds like the digital mix. The first one sounds like the upper frequencies are down, which gives the impression of lots more bottom if you get the volumes more equal. That makes it sound warm and fat. and everyone knows that warm and fat is the way...

I can't say what most people are doing, but I simply use a dry feed to my headphones when recording vocals. No reverb, or compression. If I can get a track that sounds right straight in, the I can use the tools to fill it out, add reverb, etc. I'm also not chasing someone else's...

I put ZERO value on how it sounds on a phone, and almost as little on the sound through puny laptop speakers. Phone speakers have no low frequency. While it's amazing that they get as much sound as they do, it's is not quality sound. Do a frequency sweep on a phone and see what the range...

Hey Manslick, your backup band is ready to go on tour!

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...
