It struck me that, about 9 months into my PC / DAW reinvention, after a decade on a Yamaha AW4416 standalone machine, that in that entire time, my set up (HP business PC with 16GB RAM, 128GB SSD, 1TB 7200rpm disk / Windows 7 Professional / RME Fireface UCX / Reaper) has not ever, once, locked...

This is more a curiosity thing... the issue only happened once and has disappeared, still it'd be nice to know what caused it in case it comes back.. So I have all my gear set up... 'puter, interface, monitors, monitors etc... as normal, after having moved it to the lounge room and back... and...

Throwing this in here because I have no idea where else to put it... :D I've used Neil Armstrong's "one small step etc." sample in a song I'm soon to commit to CD. As far as I can tell, it's in the public domain... The page above specifically mentions the US. I'm not in, or from, the US. And...

Apologies for the newbieness of the question, despite my relative senior citizen status in this place I've never done this part of the process. I have two questions (at this stage). I have a bunch of tracks, they're all mixed. Sitting in Reaper. Individually, I have "mastered" them via limiting...

The last one, I promise... :laughings: OK. So another of "his" songs. I think album's going to end up with 7 of mine, 6 of his, and he'll sing 7 I'll sing 6.. so as mine were easier to do during the hiatus period where he sort of lost interest, I've been playing catch up with Rich's tunes since...

... and the hits keep on coming... :laughings: Apologies for bludgeoning you with more Jongleurs, but I'm on a mission...:thumbs up: So... Another of the other guy's (Rich's) songs. Rich: lead and backing vocals, acoustic guitar, djembe Moi: backing vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar...

Second.... last.... song... for... the .... album.... Getting there, getting there. This and the last song are by him... ie. not me. This is what we'd always open our set with, live.... a quieter number, no drums. Him: lead vocals, acoustic guitar Me: backing vocals, acoustic guitar, electric...

LOL, yeah, one of these LA2As....

Howdy... Any way that anyone knows to get an individual track meter a bit larger than the tiny thing that appears on each track bar? Obviously if I want to solo a single track I can look on the master meter, but there are times when I think it'd be useful, with everything playing, to have a...

Howdy... Have to put djembe (x 2) into the song I'm working on... well, don't HAVE TO, more WOULD LIKE TO... I have a small one and a mid sized one (about 2 ft high - or is that large? No idea...) and I've never recorded a piece of actual real percussion in my life.. Where to start, and with...

Absolutely pumping them out at the moment... because I have about 3 or 4 more sessions with the singer/other guy and then we're probably over for good, and I'm going to get a damn album out of all this work!:D If it kills him.... :mad: So, my usual mix by committee entry (see previous threads...

Fritsthegirl.... Gone?

You probably all know the Jongleurs story* by now... this is one of the other half of the band's tunes which I've resurrected from a demo, stripped everything off except acoustics and lead vocal, and added everything else back. So, him: acoustic guitar, lead vocals Me: acoustic guitars...

Why? I'm not a drummer, nor can I access a drummer, so I'm an Addictive Drummer... I'm getting reasonably good at programming and I really do position and adjust every hit, rather than loop and cut and paste, so I can build dynamics throughout the particular song, but I'm realising that, as a...

Hi Anyone familiar with Martins / neck adjustment, this model in particular? One of my students has one. We meet only fortnightly in a sort of roving group lesson / drinking session at various people's homes... I've never really looked closely at her guitar but given it's a few years old and...

... just thought y'all should now. Thing is purring like a kitten... :D

So I'm doing a video for work for an in-house "short film festival" and it features a squirrel jumping all over the joint in the footage... we were going to fade titles in over said squirrel at various points (there's a music track too) but then I got to thinking, "Why don't we use a chipmunk...

... if that makes sense... :laughings: Short story. I wrote it, other guy sang it, had it all tracked instrumentally, other guy (temporarily, one hopes) pulls plug on band, so I thought bugger you, I'll sing it myself.. and so I did... and here we are. He never played on it, so it's all me...

How to, basically. Had a look around and I'm not sure exactly what to tweak. I need to record a single microphone continuously over a period of about 12 hours to monitor a noise*. Sound quality isn't an issue. I don't need 24 bit, I don't even need 44.1 khz, I just need a file at the end that's...

.... when there's a constant steady state sort of noise happening and after awhile you no longer "hear" it because your brain starts filtering it out? You know how when the constant hum of something in the background suddenly stops and you realise in the new silence that you weren't even aware...
