    There was a video on youtube about this but with my hearing I didn't hear anything annoying. Looking on a phone app, there was a tiny bit of noise lower down between 2 and 4K? a more wideband noise, but I couldn't see or hear anything up top. It was a rubbish test, he just moved the camera/phone...

    De-essing

    Sometimes, you need two processes - so the gappy tooth de-ess, then the annoying whistle in a separate pass. Almost always it is a compromise between the annoying sibilance and the annoying dullness removing the sssss noises causes!

    ANALOGUE CONSOLE SUBGROUPS & PAN CONTROL VS. STEREO IMAGE

    Most mixers of the 8 bus type have routing that uses the pan control to determine which group gets the signal, as said. Let pan sends to 1,3,5 or 7 and right pan does the even numbers. Two group faders can then be stereo. Very few mixers had individual group routing.

    UK Summer Theatre Entertainment - an insider's view

    Here is a radio interview No idea why they wanted to interview me, but it's a bit of British chat and some music - just me rambling for most of it, but I thought I'd share it.

    Can't Get Guitar to sound right when recording

    It's very sort of dark sounding - loads of energy at the bottom end, and less at the top? That's a bit unusual for this style. Playing is better - but if you don;t mind a suggestion - play with a click or a drum in your ears because you speed up and slow down quite a bit. I tapped my foot and...

    AI Vocals - I have to say I'm really impressed.

    Still experimenting - how about this one with really exposed vocal.

    PMT Chain in UK closes with immediate effect.

    I'm a business customer in amazon. NOT Prime - I ordered a hard drive midday saturday and sunday morning it arrived. None of my orders have ever been more than two or three days, most two. I'm very pleased with amazon's system to be honest.

    PMT Chain in UK closes with immediate effect.

    The PMT website now redirects to Gear4Music - but the wording is quite 'blunt'. (My bold italics) What has happened to PMT? The company has entered insolvency and appointed insolvency practitioners. Certain assets, including some stock, branding, and websites, have been sold to Gear4music...

    PMT Chain in UK closes with immediate effect.

    We lost GAK a while back and now another UK big chain of music shops had closed their doors - selling the stock to Gear4Music, but making all staff redundant. Not good to be a music retailer in the UK it seems. Our big suppliers are now all European. story here.

    Vocal tuning question

    But the mistakes in tuning would be in different places? No two takes would have identical placement or amount of pitch error?

    Vocal tuning question

    You want to copy how it tuned one voice, and then apply that adjustment to a different vocal? As in pitch correct Cher with Taylor Swift's? I cannot imagine any scenario where that would work, even if you could do it? I tried it incubase and I certainly can't copy and paste correction parameters?

    AI Vocals - I have to say I'm really impressed.

    The full story on that wasnt reported very well. The AI reveals the kids who are cheating, as apparently AI responses create finger prints to identify sources. I was the UK Principal Examiner for A Level Music Technology, but I also did Performing Arts for a long time and AI hadn't been...

    hello, newbie recording audiobook

    More confused now - we seem to have established you can download the files (as we have been listening to them and commenting) - so just get downloading! It will just take time. If you are happy with it, then no rerecording necessary. It sounds that your major issue is just navigating computers...

    Uploading to Sound Cloud (Private)?

    We use drop box for audio files for a production company I do lots of work for. sometimes, they mess up permissions and I get to hear other works in progress - that's always interesting.

    hello, newbie recording audiobook

    If i have understood correctly, you can get the files, but one by one, so it will take a while. If you are wanting your product to be similar to the audio books people listen to, then there’s a fair bit of work to do, and almost certainly some re-recording of some bits. From past experience of a...

    hello, newbie recording audiobook

    If they are in a folder in your email that you can access, what format are they in?? Could be .mp3, .wav or some other type. If you can tell us we can advise. 1700 pages of audio is going to be EXTREMELY large - I don't think we are aware of substack, whatever it is. Almost certainly if you can...

    I bought a crazily cheap 'Neumann' TLM103 and it's really decent!

    Sometimes it’s just luck you find these things

    Solved my high pitched whistle ;)

    There's no direct electrical path at all between in and out so any of the usual interference problems can't happen. We used to use things like these (at much more cost of course, before Aliexpress) to do splits for broadcast, or recording. You could build a few into a rack, and use these to...

    Solved my high pitched whistle ;)

    Things like these have been around in telecoms for years The low impedance sources work transparently - but of course feeding a high impedance source into these tends to act as a sort of tuned filter to a degree - wrecking the flat frequency response
