How would putting a mic preamp in a mastering signal path improve it?

I see what might be a resonance around 265, but otherwise not much resonance. I think the cases where it transitions sharply from a downward slope to a horizontal ridge are more likely room noise. I suspect that the main thing that's happening is boundary effect, a boost in LF due to being...

Narrow down the time frame from 2 seconds (2001 ms) to about 200 ms. Most of what we're seeing in that graph is steady state noise in your room that has nothing to do with the output of your speakers.

On-third octave equalizers are very blunt instruments. You'd be better off with two or three bands of fully parametric eq than 30 bands of fixed-width, fixed-frequency filters. And eqs aren't really suited to fixing room issues. At best, they can mitigate some problems at one very precise...

What mic are you using? The 50 Hz peak and the 68 Hz dip look like possible room effects. The waterfall display might tell us more about what's happening. The frequency response alone lacks all time information.

Pantos are kind of the alter ego to passion plays.

Short for pantomime, a British musical comedy often associated with holidays.

Guitars and PA systems don't have alternate options other than just not having them.

Yep, wireless is cool until it isn't. If it breaks, that's potentially $1k or more. A cable is $20-40, and that's if you can't just solder it back together.

This is the Reaper forum.

Whose or who's? I find the ReaFIR in compressor mode to be a pretty effective de-esser. The spectrum analyzer helps pinpoint the offending frequencies.

Unless there's something very unusual about the sub outputs, odd channels will be left and even channels will be right. Perhaps you could simply try them and see for yourself.

Subgroups are typically stereo, so groups 1 and 2 are a stereo pair. You shouldn't need to pan your channels hard left and right as they are distributed between 1 and 2 according to the channel pan setting, and 1 and 2 are themselves innately "panned" hard left and right. So a channel panned...

There's no such thing as zero latency in the digital realm, but you can get it pretty low given the right conditions. Analog is typically orders of magnitude less (effectively zero).

I downloaded the files and loaded them into my DAW. Several tracks are heavily clipped, and the vocal and rhythm guitar are mixed together. Those things make mixing a bit of a challenge.
