    Recommendation for vocal mic for male voice

    Yeah, if you have a traditional kick/bass cab mic like a d112 or d6 on hand, it's probably worth trying.

    Question about MB file size

    The second one is more precise, but both are accurate to their level of measurement 490 MB is 1024 KB, each of which is 1024 bytes, so it's actually 513,802,240 B. 491 MB is 514,850,816, so your value is being rounded down to 490

    Mod tracking guitars

    Are you hearing phasing issues with either technique? Generally, with guitars, you're not going to get significant phasing. I think physics-wise to do that you'd need a very clean tone and lots of held notes. The sort of arrangement where you're not likely to be stacking up a lot of takes anyway.

    Overhead mics

    I believe the general rule is something like: if the two mikes are twice as far from the source as each other (or more) then phase shouldn't be an issue

    Dynamic microphone sounds dull.

    You might be experiencing the proximity effect. The closer you get to a dynamic microphone, the higher its bass response will be. So there will be less high-end volume, and it can sound dull. (You're correct that this would happen with any dynamic) So step 1 would be sing/speak further back...

    Locked down again

    The panning feels a little unbalanced. I think it's leaning a little right. I'm hearing a lot of mouth noises between words.

    Reaper DAW, will it deliver all the "goods" in multi track recording?

    The DAW software receives a digital signal from your input device (whether that's a mixer, your PCs onboard audio, or an audio interface). Whether or not the signal is nicer, richer, or deeper has little to do with the software. Unless you add effects to it, the software will simply save...

    Realistically speaking, how many microphones minimum to record a 5-piece acoustic drum kit ?

    Bare minimum? 1: Stick a 57 maybe 6" above the beater head of the kick and point it more or less straight down (maybe angled a little towards the snare) A slightly less ridiculous minimum? 2: Condensers placed somewhere in the room perpendicular to each other. Really tho, I'd recommend 4: Two...

    Need help converting wav in Audacity to mp3.

    Yeah, the big issues with an unofficial version in the windows store would be legal rather than technical. (The code is F/OSS, but the logo and name are trademarks; plus a fork available in the windows store without the source code might violate GPL?)

    Room noise

    Ah! That kind of nonsense is the worst!

    Need help converting wav in Audacity to mp3.

    Huh. Can't say I've ever had that problem. Is that an official fork? I saw it in the windows store (along with a lot of other trademark-questionable apps)

    Need help converting wav in Audacity to mp3.

    What? Just get the official version from audacityteam.org. Why add some random 3rd-party intermediary?

    Room noise

    Can you post some examples? Without listening, the obvious solution is to build a simple isolation booth: hang some quilts, coats and other heavy materials around the mic.

    Need help converting wav in Audacity to mp3.

    You probably need to update your version of audacity to one that came out after the patent expired. What version are you seeing when you go to Help > About Audacity... ?

    Offline batch convert MP3 to MP4 with image

    Audacity? I don't know if it can handle images tho. You might be able to find a GUI frontend for ffmpeg

    Offline batch convert MP3 to MP4 with image

    Are you sure? FFMPeg rules Probably something like ls "*.\(wav\|mp3\)"| xargs -I '{}' ffmpeg -y -i '{}' -i YOURIMAGEHERE.png -codec:v mpeg4 '{}'.mp4

    I would like to reduce the size of a music file.

    MP3 will get you the greatest reduction in file size, but it will also reduce quality. There are a few other algorithms available (AAC, Ogg-Vorbis, wma), but they're all fundamentally similar. Flac can get you about 50% file size reduction with no data loss.

    AI Generated Music?

    Ohhhh. You mean like these things? That'd be OpenAI Jukebox then. I guess if I wanted to do that I'd join their discord. Of course, if you're just talking about reverse-engineering someone else's song and making something that sounds similar (but perhaps not in a legally actionable way)...

    AI Generated Music?

    So you're talking about using AI to fill in instrumentation? That would be Band in a Box (or a sample pack or a MIDI collection - Toontrack is having their summer sale right now; lots of drum options there) Or are you talking about extracting stems from a final mix when you can't get a hold of...

    How to get bass to sound like this

    Oh, you might be looking at the wrong band. According to Discogs, there was a UK Verbal Assault who basically did nothing but this comp: https://www.discogs.com/artist/399747-Verbal-Assault-2?type=Appearances&subtype=Compilations&filter_anv=0
