    I wish I...

    If you do time in dedicated studio space, you’ll find they also experience unwanted artifacts. Where you record has little to do with what is recorded. If the musicians are prepared and rehearsed it saves the Engineer untold hours forging a performance. I also agree with one of the other...

    I wish I...

    I agree, there’s always something. But, no, I don’t personally slice and dice every track. Like your example, if the vocals take a break, unless there’s a reason to silence it, I don’t. Another point, rather than slice and dice, automation for simple things like your vocal example is quicker if...

    Lesser expensive DAW Recommendation

    +1 for Reaper, but also agree, no matter what, learning software requires time.

    **Did You give focusrite permission to enter your home or studio???

    A lot of ‘people’ mocking this. I remember in the 90s companies, and individuals, blew off all that ‘boilerplate’ ‘stuff’...right up until about 10 years ago when MS started showing up at business, large and small, to ask for very detailed information on licensing for their Windows products...

    Tascam USB issues with new desktop build

    Dude that’s awesome. More than likely the generic VM driver for the USB chipset is what saving you there or perhaps it is it is buffering at the data at the software level. Maybe consider opening a ticket with the motherboard manufacturer. Sounds like they need to correct a bug in their USB...

    Static in monitors

    +1 for some kind of filtering. If the mouse is cordless, try a corded mouse. If not, if you have another mouse, swap it out and re-check. Noisy power supplies or weak/poor grounding have strange ways of presenting themselves. Also, wouldn’t hurt to contact the mfg if it’s a new I/f see what they...

    Tascam USB issues with new desktop build

    The MSI has usb 3.0 ports per MSI’s specs on the website, the new board has 3.1 and 3.0 ports. I would be sure to use the usb 3.0 ports on the new board, take any bios updates available for the board and driver updates for the chipset and certainly anything usb related. Essentially get all the...

    Latency issue with Tascam USB 16x08

    So, assuming we are talking Windows 7/10, you should plug in/turn on the audio interface before launching reaper. Windows is a curious beast when it comes to audio. We assume you have some kind of on board audio chipset. So, when you launch Reaper more than likely it’s grabbing the onboard audio...

    Which Linux-based software should I try?

    Though I have never used it, I’ve heard good things about Cent OS (RH’s free distro I think).

    PLEASE HELP!!!!! with a new computer

    Core 2 DUO for recording is great, used on for years. 8 GB of RAM with a 64 bit Windows OS will reward you with faster boot times and less application ‘lag’. Now, the money, the video card and the SSD drive, mostly the video card which the foolish ‘crypto-currency’ scam has driven the price of...

    School me on mixers...digital or USB

    The question is phrased a little odd, I will shoot you what I think your asking...is there a digital board that emulates analog functionality? - yes...sort of. Moving into the digital realm means re-learning some old bad habits in new ways. If your steering away from the traditional ‘home’...

    Recording with USB passthrough to VM

    Two words. Don’t do it. Ok 3, one of which is technically a contraction, so...but, latency is one of the ghosts each digital audio gear-head chases, so why risk injecting a bunch of who-knows-what software drivers into the ‘mix’ (pun intended). Can it be done, I’m sure someone has. Why would you...
