    Solved my high pitched whistle ;)

    This is a bit concerning, to be fair. The Behringer has a published flat frequency response to 20K - typical of decent audio transformers, which is all that is in the box. If it destroyed the signal, you have something more serious going on. My one got stolen last year, but always did what it...

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

    Try this. The phrasing is still a bit sticky in places, and its quite difficult to actually play a melody while looking at the words - the syllables don't seem to fit sometimes. STILL none of the advanced editing features - so I am still very much a novice, but like most clever stuff, practice...

    Help Please

    As the pdf covered all bases, i suspect something might be going wrong. We need more info, because as said above, these were a consumer product so technical skill involved. If you are struggling, possibly something that should retract hasn’t, blocking the path. Take the head cover off and post a...

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

    The thing is the editing is very similar to Cubase's pitch corection where you can go in and tweak and hone - in those examples, the actual settings were the default - all I did were fix a couple of wrong notes in what I played, remove one or two totally, and then shorten or lengthen each note...

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

    I have spent an hour on this. I brought in the instrumental track from cubase. played a pretty feeble melody from memory on the keyboard. It produced a 'la la' version as default. Googled the real lyrics and discovered my melody wasn't quite right - but words sort of fitted, and then I tweaked...

    Solved What do you do about computer fan noise?

    Big boxes, bigger but slower fans. I used to use Carillon 19" rack cases, but they use small multiple fans for getting the heat out and they just got too noisy. For a while I had the PCs in a cupboard in the studio, and fed the cabling under the floor to the monitors and keyboards. In the home...

    Using two compressors, yes or no

    I've had people in my studio who insist on compressing the input, before recording. I absolutely hate it, because it limits decisions later on - so what I do is set it up so in their headphones they hear the mic compressed, but I record a clean version AND the compressed version. That's a bit of...

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

    I downloaded a demo of synthesizer V studio 2 Pro and thought I'd see how simple it really was, rather than take the word of the youtubers and the manufacturer. It's really intuitive. I found a box marked tempo, another gave me a click. Without even setting anything, it picked up my MIDI...

    Another breakdown of a carpenters show track.

    Think tribute acts - this was actually an aborted one. We were ready to go and the 'Karen' suddenly announced she was pregnant and was dropping out. She sounded quite similar in tone, but of course not the sound of the real Karen Carpenter. As we had shows booked, I found a replacement who...

    Another breakdown of a carpenters show track.

    This one explains how I created another of the songs - obviously the actual vocal is just a guide and was not used in the actual shows.

    Carpenters tracks for using on stage.

    I think I might have posted this a couple of years ago, but it surfaced again today - a video showing how we produced the click track for a carpenters tribute show - you can hear how the individial tracks build up.

    Vangelis on software synths

    After some of the chats we've had about software synths and in another, Vangelis - I figured for a bit of fun I'd do Blade Runner. It's rough round the edges, but it was just a bit a of fun - and the synths do sounds quite ok, I think.

    Songs from a Broken Corral

    Its fine kurth, the point i think is that alternative work surfaces can be more expressive in the hands of somebody who has the skill to use them, but others seem to be reinventions of a piano keyboard, but less capable of expression.i look at some of the walkthroughs Spitfire do on their...

    Members average number of mics and a list...

    I think I am now over 100! The trouble is, I still grab for the old favourites - AKG 414 and SM58.

    Suggested hardware spec. for Cubase on Windows?

    The cheaper computer I have in the office is an AMD ryzen 5 pro with onboard graphics 3.7GHz and has 16GB of RAM. It runs cubase fine - and today I have completed the sample installation - my drive space total is now 10.9TB - Cubase no issues, a bit laggy on premiere with 4K, OK on HD with real...
