    Recording two tracks at a time in Reaper

    Yes. One player goes into one input of the scarlett, the other player goes into another input, and you just go into Reaper, create two tracks, and arm each to record and change the input on each to match the channels that the players are plugged in to.

    Why do we twist our minds with all this digital tech when most of the greatest records ever made were made on tape deck ?

    Up until the early nineties I struggled with 4-track cassette to do recording myself. If I had to get decent recordingsd I had to pay lots to go somewhere decently equipped. From the nineties on the digital era emerged in force, and that was groundbreaking for me. I could afford to create...

    Post your album artworks.

    A couple of years ago I posted a pic of the 16 defibrillator CD covers. We have now done more, so here is a compilation of twenty covers artwork. None of the albums have banes. They only have numbers, so each cover is related to its number.

    Condensers or Capacitors

    Dave was adamant that capacitor was the correct term and that condensor was wrong. Since I got involved in audio around the turn of the century, I have only ever known them as condensor mikes, and I will continuee to refer to them as such. Dave might be correct, but language isn't static, and...

    What DAW are you using?

    Looks like they might have got a faulty Presonus audiobox in that mix. That looks more like an outlier.

    Got some great takes, but the levels are too low. Best way to fix?

    Would a Mixing Eng notice a big difference between the Motu M6 and Behringer U-phoria UMC404HD A/D converters?

    I've done mixing for others on occasion, and I notice bad microphone techniques, EQing and other sound manipulation issues. What interface they use is invisible.

    Cancelled Recordings

    Conversations and emails is likewise my stock in trade. I've not had an experience like yours, though I have had quite a few preli,imary discussions that have never materialised into anything.

    How to read this graph

    Whar's with the attitude? This is what Rob wrote in the earlier thread: "The display shows the length of the notes you sang left to right and the pitch of the notes on the vertical axis. "

    Questions

    Noise Identification - Ground or RFI or Something else?

    Have you always had that problem? Or has it just started? It is often (but not always) a power supply problem. I experienced it with my desktop, but it disappeared once I used balanced connections for everything.

    double tracking

    In my experience, there seems to be two broad types of vocalists: harmonisers and melodicists ( I think I just made up that word). The harmonisers can make up and sing harmonies on the spot, but are not so good at double tracking because they tend to forget their phrasing from take to take. The...

    Records in mono not stereo

    Have you checked the cable you are using to go from synth to interface. What happens if you swap it around, i.e. right into left and vice versa?
