I had a few longer than my usual 2:30 mixes that I put on my USB stick. These were the tracks that I had trouble with trying to add reverb to that I spoke of elsewhere. I resolved that issue but now a different arises. On playback in my car's stereo, on the USB stick one track abruptly ends...

I'm not sure if I have the right forum for this question but here goes anyway. As I was doing an audit on my saved files, I came across some videos I made in Quicktime using my iphone as a video camera. Naturally I didn't include any notes on how I accomplished this. These videos are from 3...

when you record in a DAW, do you set your input gain via your interface and leave your channel strip slider at 0?

I had been told on a couple of occasions that the 8" monitors (20.3cm) I had were probably too big for the rooms I used to have available. I was curious if there is a consensus on what size speaker fits what size room. I know that the reflection points matter. I'm in a typical apartment size...

Years ago, when I was taking studio production courses at Hesser College in Manchester NH, I wrote a paper on Earthworks Audio. I interviewed with Mr Blackmer, who was gracious enough to take me on a tour of the facilities. On the tour, we looked at the anechoic chamber where they test the...

I'm on my second Audio Interface after taking a step up from a very entry level unit. Sadly the 'better' unit has developed a problem, and it is also now OOP. My seller will honor a return. The replacement model has USB-C, which I don't currently have on either of my computers. yes...

The last week or so before I moved, I had been noticing more and more weirdness when I tried to use my Presonus 1810 with my Mac Mini late 2012 2.5 GHz i5 with 16 GB RAM running Safari 13.0.1 with Logic Pro X 10.4.8 I first noticed the odd sound when using the tuner in Logic Pro. The G string...

I can't help but wonder. What would my bedroom have sounded like completely empty? No furniture or anything. The room has wall to wall carpet. Growing up it was hardwood with a few scatter rugs and that's what I played in until '79. 9 or 10 years later, new carpet. That was my 'music room'...

we're due to begin our residency at a new place to call home, the applications were filled out yesterday. I know it won't be optimal but my music room is also going to be my bedroom/office. At least it won't be as small as some of the mini-spaces we've looked at. I'll be packing my music room...

I think at this point, we're just feeding the troll. I've seen the movie, doesn't end well.

It's probably my direct recording technique but since I've gotten Logic Pro and can now see the levels with numeric readout, I've noticed something. When trying to dial in the input level, the AI input control works pretty smoothly up to around -22 dB on the mixer's readout. I'm trying to aim...

here I am worrying about using mic shields because of my untreated room. I've recently have become a believer in using compression before hitting the audio interface when I go direct. The improvement of my recorded sound has been significant. However, I have these beautiful sounding amps that...

Just spitballing here, probably trying to justify spending money on an acousti-shield. basically a semi circular cylinder with a foam inner layer and a rigid outer layer (usually stainless steel or aluminum.) My music room is untreated and won't be until after the move to a new place. are...

I bought Logic Pro the other day and have been experimenting with it. Pretty much the same things I've been doing with GarageBand. The level of detail is light years beyond what I've been doing and that's not a bad thing. I'm glad that I've mucked around with GB for the last 2-3 years because...

I know already that people suggest listening to your mixes on various systems, what about bluetooth wireless speakers? I do not own anything in that vein yet so I can't speak for them. I've read reviews that mention compression as a natural compromise (pretty much the same as for wireless mic...

is it normal for the volume to make a substantial jump? Is it just over-enthusiastic default setting?

I was advised somewhere, and I can't find where, about a type of power conditioner that not only provided power conditioning but switched outlets to power up things like AI, mic pre, rack gear and powered monitors in an order (guessing pretty much like I typed it) that is easier on the equipment...

until I'm settled in a treated room, I'll be using open backed phones for playback/mixing. I'm currently running out from the mac mini headphone output and 90% of the time going to a stereo receiver to monitor/listen. The phones are plugged into the receiver's phone jack. I've got two volume...

had an interesting couple of takes the other day. new bass arrived, Squier VM Jazz bass. Immediately tried recording a couple tracks. Going DI with a compressor before the AI, I was getting some righteous bottom. Did a quick dub onto a cassette to listen in my car. Bass that sounds just...

our basement was converted to a playroom back nearly 50 years ago. It has a drop ceiling and a raised floor, likely 1" slats under plywood with industrial style carpeting. The walls are sheetrock with paneling about halfway up from floor. There are three closets, 2 nearly the same size one...
