Are you just doing voice over stuff? If so, why do you even need EQ APO? Turn it off, especially if you aren't 100% sure of what it's doing. The clue to the overload is those vertical lines that go to and from the crossover point. That indicates that the AD converter could not determine a...

I'm guessing you are massively overloading your interface. Looking at your waveforms, I've seen that pattern before where you get so far over 0dB that the converters go nuts and either invert or go to 0. It happened to me once before I could turn down the gain. Turn down your input...

I'm going to make an assumption here (maybe totally off base), but if the OP is getting a used PG58 then this is probably his first foray into recording and the cassette deck is already in the picture. Recording practice sessions could be for submission to a music teacher, or just to gauge...

If he's just recording his guitar practices, I think he'll be fine with just the mic and cable. I doubt that he'll be practicing more than a few feet away from the deck. Certainly not a football field away! Once he figures out that it would be cool to add multiple parts, then he can look...

You can plug the PG58 into the Sony but you will need to have an XLR to 1/4" adapter or cable. The PG58-QTR comes with the proper cable. It should be wired Pin 2 of the XLR to tip, and Pin 3 to the sleeve. The mic inputs of the Sony are low Impedance with a sensitivity of .25mV. The...

Did you look at the two tracks and confirm that they are indeed inverted? Simply zoom into the wave from and you'll see if things are flipped immediately. If so, then your issue has to be somewhere in your routing. Are you trying to combine the two side channels to a single channel to...

I could, but I want Reaper to only use the ASIO driver. I have no need to use the windows drivers. It's only an issue if I wanted to play along with a Youtube video and record at the same time. If I wanted to play along with a regular wave or MP3 file, I would just drag it into into...

First comment.... thanks for not subjecting me to a 120BPM thump!!!! I actually listened to the entire track instead of the first 10 seconds. I guess techo is just one of those genres that doesn't excite me on it's own, but as I was listening to it, I was thinking "this would be a really...

As you said Gecko, all my audio goes through the interface. The onboard Realtek audio is disabled. The only "issue" that I have is that I can't play a Youtube or media player at the same time when Reaper is active, as the DAW/ASIO takes precedence over any other audio. If I simply...

Take one of the samples from Maschine+ and look at the peak and LUFS levels. That should tell you where they are. Then look at the peak and LUFS levels of your samples. As long as a sample's peak is below 0dB, it can be adjusted downward. If I was doing it, I might leave the peak level...

Hey, you never know with a bunch of old geezers!👴 I mean, have there really been any good female singers since Janis and Grace?

I'll be the contrarian here. I think the second mix sounds more cohesive, more balanced overall. The top one just seems to push a bit hard in spots and seems to have some distortion that is almost fatiguing after hearing it 3 or 4 times. BTW, I like to song a lot, K!

If it's going to be a backing track, you probably have no clue what the actual quality and response capability of the playback system will be. I've never been on a cruise ship, so I don't have a clue what to expect. Will the system have a pair of 15" subs that go down to 20 or 30Hz, or does...

Unfortunately, when a competent technician will probably charge you $80-100/hr for service, and a new H2Essential is $180, it becomes questionable as to whether repair is a good option. If it requires some parts, and 2 hours of labor, you are looking at spending more for repair than for...

Comparing your mix with the one from the original soundtrack, the tom/bass notes that come in a the 2 minute mark are way stronger than the original. It's got a "boom" to it that is out of balance with the strings and piano. Great for a disco dance floor, but doesn't fit the song. I...

Overall, I think the songs are pretty good. It's not easy to write good songs. My biggest issue is that the guitars have too much "fuzz" for my taste, and are pretty loud in the mix so that they bury the vocals. That's a pretty common trend I hear a lot, guitars that sound "good in the...

If you boot from the normal drive, the drive Toshiba's drive shouldn't cause any boot issues but it most likely will be in a format that Windows can't read. If I was to guess it would more likely be a Linux based format as there would be no licensing fees to use that. It could also be a...

That's good to know. It's been so long since I really delved into tape decks, I didn't realize that had changed. I always noticed that the sync/record always sounded duller than the play head itself but then I haven't bought a tape deck in well over 40 years.

I used my old 1/4" 4 track for many years. Eventually the heads do wear, but if it was basically unused and you've only been working on this since January, the heads should be fine. As for the Repro head sounding better, that's to be expected. A recording head should have a somewhat larger...

It's a very common story. Things start out being done by a group, be they artists or athletes, hobbyists, enthusiasts, etc. Then someone realizes that there is money to be made. As the profits grow, the business gets more controlled, and taken out of the hands of those who started it. In...
