    Tempo Too Fast? / Mix Feedback

    I think the organ is out of sync with the rest. The vibrato or Leslie effect should either be slowed or speeded up slightly to better match the timing. One of those would lock it in and tighten this up. Of course, I could be imagining things . . .

    Eliminating pick slap noise at soundhole

    Continued from Post #8 This time, I left it overnight - 12 hours. Before removing, I flipped the lid over to examine the adhesive spots. Some were visible, some not so much. Most of them dried clear. Looked good to me, so I carefully peeled it off (released very easily) and placed it...

    Eliminating pick slap noise at soundhole

    Here's where I'm at : I went to Wal-ly world and picked up a small, thin sheet of green felt. They had all colors and I think this hunter green looks best with the Taylor's wood. Then I scooted over to the next aisle and picked up a bottle of Tacky Glue. The online description says it can be...

    Neumann broadcast microphone - is this different to the BCM 104/705?

    Just guessing here . . hard to tell without seeing the logo on the front. I've seen a few pics where the green band appears almost black in shadows or low light. But the one in your pic does appear to be black. Here's a pic where it's dark enough to slip by as black under certain conditions...

    Reaper Tempo Markers & Envelopes

    This is a more straight forward method applied to a single track.

    OK. That puts me back where we started and that didn't work for you.

    Reaper Tempo Markers & Envelopes

    I'm just trying to get this straight in my head which approach is needed. After re-reading your reply (above), I believe I assumed you were looking to correct existing tempo fluctuations. But now it appears you are trying to do the opposite - introduce tempo fluctuations into a steady track. Or...

    Reaper Tempo Markers & Envelopes

    Have you watched Kenny's video? That's a good step-by-step. With stuff like this, I usually set the video up on my laptop next to Reaper on my desktop. This way, I can pause after each step to make sure I don't miss anything.

    Small Form Factor DAW?

    From personal experience, if Wi-Fi and/or BT are of any concern, Wi-Fi worked very well on my Win 10 system, but BT sucked big time - virtually non-existent. They both work very well on my Win 11 units. Could be it was just my specific system, but I've read many other posts in other forums...

    Eliminating pick slap noise at soundhole

    I went to Wal-ly World this morning (6 AM !) and found some very thin 9x12 felt sheets - perfect for what I have in mind. I didn't buy one because I hadn't found a temp adhesive for it. Found the adhesive when I returned home - let's you reposition after drying. I'll pick them up next trip...

    Eliminating pick slap noise at soundhole

    I play guitar and bass with a Fender Thin pick. I've used Medium picks to eliminate some noise problems, but I always return to Thins. I don't finger pick guitar, but I do finger pluck the bass when called for. I've been having a problem while strumming my acoustics - on the downstrokes, my pick...

    Small Form Factor DAW?

    But wait !! We haven't gotten to the solid platinum cables that allow faster than light data transfer, uh . . on alternate Thursdays.

    Small Form Factor DAW?

    I have a 16GB thumb drive and a 500GB SSD connected via USB hub. These are not currently being used with my DAW, just regular storage. The 500GB SSD was added with the intention of adding the Toon Tracks SD3 Drum package at some future date. That contains around 230GB of drum samples. I believe...

    Small Form Factor DAW?

    SFF PCs can be very capable for DAW duty, unless you're planning on running mass quantities of tracks with as many (or more) plugins. Like 100+. The average home recordist shouldn't have a problem with a nicely configured SFF PC. SFF PCs may or not be noisy. Depends on their cooling system...
