    Studio monitors response curves measured today with REW (input please)...

    Twenty different monitor speaker models, twenty different sounds. If a flat frequency response made them all sound the same, there would be no need for expensive ones! Same with mics. Ever recorded with a flat measurement microphone? Might well be good for producing plots, but rubbish for...

    X32 as controller ?

    I used to do this, back in Cubase 9 or 10 days - I thought back then it used a mackie protocol, from within cubase. I spent a fruitless couple of hours today in my video studio as sitting there is a Midas M32, and cubase 14 is on the computer. Frustrated because the system I used before and...

    review the most recent cheap guitar pedal you bought

    I bought one of those M-Vave G-Tank things and have to say for the money it's very good!

    Studio monitors response curves measured today with REW (input please)...

    Take the speakers outside and repeat the test - I bet you get pretty much the factory published curve. In my studio (which I think sounds nice. spikey response curves are absolutely normal. I have an app on my phone and playing pink noise, I expected a pretty even display. Moving the phone...

    Need help setting up lynx hilo 2 to my equipment

    In all my years I have NEVER adjusted a buffer size. I know how to, but it's never been necessary if the computer is relatively modern. I'm guessing you've not got the correct driver, or it's not being picked up by the software correctly. I cannot believe something so expensive has any issues -...

    Radio Mics and cables.

    Basically goodies, baddies, and the goodies always win. In a way it is like musical theatre for families - but it is two levels. The parents laugh at one set of jokes and the kids another. Historically, the shows are based on fairy tales - so think aladdin, snow white and the seven dwarfs...

    Need help setting up lynx hilo 2 to my equipment

    According to the spec on their website, that would be a no. I am not sure what on earth you are hoping to achieve and you seem to be a very untypical lynx customer. Asking around one of their strong points is customer care, so ai am mystified why you dont just speak to the, as they pride...

    NEWBIE - Equipment Recommendations - Recording Electric Guitar Cabs

    I have a good mic collection - I do have an M160, but it rarely comes out into the light. Nice but the royer is way too expensive for the use it would get. Forgive me - but throw money at things you discover limit your creativity and quality. If you have poor to average acoustics, forget hearing...

    Can't Get Guitar to sound right when recording

    For years we have had questions on the same subject, from before the internet. People would ask (originally by post in a magazine) about recording guitars. They had the same guitar, plugged into the same equipment as a famous person, but complaining they didn't sound the same. Duane Eddy, Hank...

    Need help setting up lynx hilo 2 to my equipment

    Is it really the Hilo that is the problem or have you just not got the basic skills of music Tec? Tell us what you are struggling with and we can certainly help. However, with your gear being many people’s wish list, maybe spending a little on a local to come and help you get going will be very...

    Radio Mics and cables.

    Two channels of the Shures was all I could afford - I have quite a few Sennheiser mics and IEMs in the stock. The sound of the Shure's was nicer, despite being a Sennheiser user for a long time. I have 14 channels of the Axients for panto, with lav packs, and they're really nice and solid, RF...

    Fostex 160 / 4-track audio bleed? (Resolved)

    That was the one that did clever routing I think. Normally, channel 1 went to track 1, 2 to 2 and so on, but there was an option to send things to other tracks, which used the pan knob. My guess is it's something to do with this - but it must be 40 years ago and memory is a bit dim?

    Radio Mics and cables.

    The shure software is good, but it doesn't really solve the issue of just too many random users. Here, in the office and workshop, everything was fine and perfectly stable, but in the venue, sadly not. I use a handheld RF explorer to see what is going on, and while at some points all looked...

    Radio Mics and cables.

    When I first started working for myself, the name I chose East Anglian Radio Services was because back in the 90's - I was hiring radio microphones. I had a 'real' job' for a while but kept on the hire services, then went back full time. A phrase I constantly used when people asked about radio...

    Advice on mix

    Brass and reeds in that style music do that. If you try to compress it the sound is very strange - saxes, especially change timbre drastically when the play loud staccato - so if you squish it anything more than a tiny bit, it doesn't sound real.

    Advice on mix

    Thats hugely better and balanced so much better, and you split the sections up nicely and it gels. Isnt it weird how once you get the ‘sound’, it sort of locks together, with the mellow stuff there, but having space for the pushes.

    Advice on mix

    Big band is tricky - and the conventions are quite difficult to pick up, unless you listen to a lot of it. Guitar and piano are too loud and too bright and in your face. Try to imagine what the audience would hear if they were there. The piano parts are always a bit percussive to make them...

    Short Pants

    The video is severely dark and needs grading badly - what is the video for? It's OK, but a bit undercontrolled in most departments.
