So, you're really a jazz playing ROBOT, which is several steps above AI and only a step away from the Jetsons! Pretty soon people will assume that everything is an AI fake! Sad! And cool tune, meter.

So it seems to me that it's a simple math problem. Get 100,000 subscribers and make sure they each listen to your tune 200 times... Presto, 20,000,000 streams and you get to #96 on the Hot 100. It might help to have a SONG that a wide variety of people want to HEAR! There are probably a...

Manufacturers measure their speakers in a anechoic chamber, so that any reflection nodes will be absent. That way they only record the output of the speakers themselves, not the room. You might want to read this article about a means to measure a speaker in a "real room"...

I was looking at the Presonus forum, and apparently in Universal Control, Setup, you can toggle to BYPASS Mixer, which should then give 8 outputs fed directly from the 8 inputs as a straight pass through. Is this what you are looking for? I don't know that it would give you 8 discrete...

Papa, for me Jimmy's recordings are definitely a case of performance rules! I've heard hundreds of acoustic recordings that were made with Class 1 equipment that don't hold a candle to these recordings. Simple, clean and pure.

Try using MME as the host rather than WASPI. I think that is the preferred driver. Personally, I keep Audacity around for quick and dirty editing. For any recording, I go straight to Reaper. If you want a truly free DAW, go to Bandlab (Cakewalk or Sonar) or use the Ableton that came...

If you were working with a board of some type, or even a setup that came with line level inputs, it might make sense. A mic/inst preamp is the wrong tool! Frankly I think all this "saturation" stuff has become a trendy fad. Everybody is wanting to add "saturation" and I would bet that 80% of...

I'm confused as to how you would put line level signals through a mic preamp or an instrument input (TOTALLY different impedance and levels), and how in the world would that "improve" anything that was already recorded. Unless your just trying to distort the signal intentionally, I can...

I've never seen a picture of a Neumann capsule that color. All the photos I have ever seen of Neumann capsules are cream or ivory. I also don't see any of the typical replacment builders using yellow rings (Arienne, Peluso, Tim Campbell, Mic Parts, etc.)

The HV-35P only has one route... you either go with instrument or mic inputs, and only one output. What I don't understand is why you don't just use the Motu's inputs. It's not like they are bad preamps. The Motu is an excellent unit.

If you are thinking about sending the XLR to one channel, and the Hi Z to a second, then it will depend on your interface. Something like the Scarlett Solo, Audient ID4 or Presonus Audiobox are actually 2 channel interfaces with one mic pre and one line/Inst channel. Most purely single...

Doh! :facepalm: Didn't think about that....

Have you investigated X32Reaper? It might have the functions you're looking for. It supports 2 way communication so faders moved in Reaper can move the faders on the X32 and vice versa. It looks like you could enable automation on tracks, do a render in real time, and ride the faders...

Last pedal I bought was a JHS NotAKlon and a Series 3 compressor. The compressor was on sale, I think it was under $80. The NotAKlon it better than my Soul Food. Sound is good and noise level is lower than the Soul Food. I don't know if it sounds like a Klon, I've never had a Klon. It's...

You certainly don't need a $3000 mic and preamp for doing such comparisons. There are tons of comparison videos on Youtube that are made with far more common gear. I recently watched a video where a signal was run through loopback and it took in most cases over a hundred decode/encode...
