Not a project a track. Cakewalk has the option to archive tracks so the system doesn't have to work playing tracks that aren't being used.

Subject line says it. How do you archive a track in Reaper? Thanks

Would that likely be by design given the requirements of mastering LPs which can't have ultra-thumpy bass or the overall dynamic range possible on digital formats?

The story is that it was donated to a school who didn't know how to use it and put it in a dumpster. Hard to imagine anyone not having the sense to realize someone would pay $$ for it even if they couldn't use it unless they had no idea about its history or even just seeing if someone might buy...

Does anything exist that will do a "text to speech" type of conversion with standard sheet music converting to MIDI where it at least gives you the basic notes so you don't have to go through the tedious exercise of manually inputting or playing a part? Thanks.

Couldn't they make more than one master when recording the sides by having the signal going out to more than one cutting lathe?

There's also Direct-To-Disc which cuts out some of the steps and therefore some of the potential loss - the recording goes directly to the master disc and the stamper(s) is/are made from that. You do any tweaking at the board. A drawback was that an entire side had to be played in one continuous...

What am I not factoring in? The cool factor of putting that stylus on the record and watching it spin around. 8-) There's no disputing the advantages of digital - lower noise floor, less susceptibility to physical damage, digital is capable of capturing more of whatever travels down the wires...

I've noticed that car systems are a good place to check a mix, it'll sound muddy if the balance isn't right. Don't know if it's an urban legend but I've heard that records for juke boxes were pressed with a different mix to compensate for the limitations of the speaker.

This is strictly a PSA, I don't profit from this, I don't know Rick personally this just seems like a bargain that I happened to stumble across yesterday that I'm passing along. There isn't a theory forum so this seems like the most logical place to put this. Rick Beato has a Labor Day only...

Just at the thinking about it stage. Probably will at some point.

But it doesn't take a van full of cases to store it right? I remember everyone helping the drummer unload and load everything at gigs. It can be stored in a much more compact space? Or no?

It might end up being strictly for the enjoyment of developing a skill for my own amusement, maybe recording that I might never use in public and a full-on drumset seems more problematic to break down and put somewhere if you need the space plus maintenance issues - and from what I see way more...

The other issue is I'm looking to preserve my hearing - I've got hearing like a teenager and would like it to stay that way as long as possible. I can't believe that drummers don't experience some degree of hearing loss over time.

That's just what I'm looking for - things to consider, I'm in the thinking about it stage. I might run across a great deal on something.
