Thanks guys VERY Useful info! I'm terrible in math so finally figured out that 3.2 kHz is 3200hz. But besides that the musician says it is only the open top string. So what do you think of this "mad scientist" solution? Each and every time there is that open top string I "zap" it with this =...

Recording with Logic Pro, X AKG stereo pair Microphones 414S - Babyface Pro soundcard. Album number 13 for my label. One track on the album of a solo viola da gamba, has a sound problem. It is recorded on a beautiful old instrument, perfect acoustic but a shrill top string. Tried futzing with...

Finally figured this out! 1 - The Focusrite control is NOT easy to understand. If you select one of the output panels on the left then mute an input channel this will apply ONLY to the panel that was selected on the left. 2 - Logic if you check "Input" (the orange button on each channel) to...

In fact I record baroque music. So after each new piece we listen (all the musicians) through a speaker. The microphones are often many meters away and even so if I set the speaker to a comfortable volume I get feedback. Yes, that is exactly what I do now, and have been doing for a year. I...

This applies even when Logic is not even on! I can't get Focusrite control to mute the microphones no matter what I do. Just found this, maybe I need to not use "mute" but to turn down manually the volume in Focusrite control? Why can I still hear input signal when I'm not recording or when my...

Hello, Here's a damn stickler! I've been recording for about one year with Focusrite control on Mac connected to the Clarett 4 Pre and Logic. After months of Googling and forums I have found NO answers to the following questions : 1 - If I try to mute my input devices from Focusrite Control...

Thanks a zillion. I'm not very good with the psychology end of recording. I should have insisted after listening over and over and over again during the recording is that is what it will sound like (of course adding reverb and whatever tweaks via compressors) but can't overhaul the whole thing...

Hi, I recorded two instruments (arabic qanoun and a viola da gamba!) plus a narrator. I opted to record as it was in the concerts that were done of this program. So two AKG 414S stereo pair on the instruments and two Neumann KM 184 stereo pair for the narrator. The set up was like this Now we...

Thanks for the answer. I'm bouncing to 16 bit 44 100 and that is what I recorded at. Now I can't remember (!) for certain parts of the recording (some where last year and I was using the Babyface Pro and only a stereo pair of Neumann KM 184, since then I use the Clarett 4Pre) what bit depth I...

After posting about clicks after having bounced a track with some really smart answers, and followed the instructions (reduce RAM use by other programs) this morning a real stickler. I bounced and rebounced the same track over and over. Each and every time even when Logic was the only open...

Thanks I recorded FOR (as a musician) Universal before. They don't pay streaming royalties. As I am also a computer geek and have diplomas as such I started my own label in 2014. So yes this is for the CD printing company. I decided to upload the files and pay. Easier. I'm making a double album...

If you want to listen the same is true on my Spotify releases. Here is the link : Spotify Web Player - Jonathan Dunford That's me. Viola da Gamba performer and sound geek. Let me know if you hear what I'm talking about. My wife who also is a viola da gambist thinks the same as you. But would...

I have been recording the viola da gamba for quite a while now. I'm both a sound engineer and performer. I noticed as this instrument especially is very rich in harmonics it sort of saturates in excellent headphones (Sennheiser for example). Nothing to do with gain or mixing. I checked my own...

Thank you that IS VERY USEFUL. This forum has saved me hours of grief and surely many many mistakes. I'm very used to releasing on the Internet (my label has 7 albums to date) but this is the first plastic one. I don't know if I'll do it again. Too much work for an antiquated media...

It may be a RIPOFF. Here is the answer they gave me : bonjour, Vous n’en trouverez pas dans le commerce car c’est rare qu’un magasin vende ce genre de produit, seul les studios professionnels disposent de CD spéciaux pour les master. Sinon, vous avez la possibilité de nous faire parvenir...
