    Oranizing Plug-ins in Reaper

    Hey Pipeline, Any idea if there are any add-ons to Reaper to make organzing and categorizing the plug-ins a little better ? I know you can drag-and-drop favorites, but I've got hundreds and hundreds of soft synth's and evaluation vst's kicking around, it's kind of tough to find stuff...

    Dither - My Ears can't hear it

    I've thrown Dither plug-ins on many a Master Bus, because a book told I me I should. But, my ears don't hear a difference. Just to make sure I'm doing it right..... 1. I throw a Dither plug-in on the master bus. 2. Select "16-bit" 3. Leave all the "Dither Type 1, Type 2, etc." alone...

    What the heck is a "goodie table" ? ie: The Audix F15 Fusion Series condenser microphone captures the wide sound field of cymbals and transients while adding dimension and realism. Applications include cymbals, overheads, hi-hat, and goodie table.

    Worst gear ever thread ?

    Am I dreaming, or did there used to be a "Worst Gear Ever" thread on this BBS, a few years ago ? I've searched on it several ways over the past few weeks, but could not find it. "Worst gear" , "Worst Gear Ever", etc. Anyway, anybody remember a thread like that or was that at Gear Slutz...

    Mic Trivia

    Is there any decipherable rhyme or reason to Mic model numbers? Why is the Shure SM57 called SM57? What does the U stand for in the Neuman u47 or u87? What does the 414 mean in AKG 414?

    Best Recording Levels

    Before I ask the question... I did search this, as I know it's probably come up lots, but did not find a thread for this. I worded the search three different ways. I apologize in advance if this is a repeat thread from years gone by. What level should I be looking at averaging when...

    Break-in tubes ?

    Do Tubes' need to be "broke-in" ? I thought I read some where that tubes need to run for about 100 hours before they're running their best. (Not 100 hours straight, but 100 hours OF USE)

    Is there a REWIND Vst ?

    I'm looking for a VST that may not exist. I want to take a small sound effect, and make it sound like it's running off a tape, and then someone hits rewind and plays it back again. (You know that screechy noise - when your playing AND holding down rewind on a cassette player). I can just...

    Hey Pipeline - help !

    Okay, Love reaper 99.9%, except for 1 small little thing. Kind of difficult to explain, but I'll try. When your recording on a track, it of course makes your 'green' wav area, where the audio is. I believe they are called "items". If I record, and then record over that item, and then...

    Black Finger as a Compressor in the Studio

    Is the Electro Harmonix Black Finger just for guitar? Or, could I use it for general use on Vocals, Snare, Kick, etc? The EH write up on it says..... ""the Black Finger uses the same professional-grade techniques that the most revered, vintage and mega-thousand dollar, high-end studio...

    ART Tube MP

    I bought my brother one of those $29 ART Tube MP's for Christmas. We messed around with it for an hour and a half tonight. I can't figure out what the OPL button is doing ??? Also - does the +20 button have to be on for all mics, this seems to be the case.

    Rode NT2 issue.... maybe?

    I bought a used Rode NT-2 mic for $200. Was that a good deal? It was manufactured in '97. Something strange about it though.... when I use it with my board, I can get enough gain. (When I turn the knob all the way up 90% of the way). However, when I use my ART TPSII pre-amp, I cannot get...

    WTF? Did I just "make contact"?

    I am sitting in front of my computer / daw, where I spend at least 5 hours a day. (Down in the basement) I have NEVER had this happen before - but my left monitor just went on a 5 minute "radio interference" bonanza. Really wierd noises, static, squelching etc. No music or voices or anything...

    Blew a Monitor somehow.... what now?

    Just noticed that my Roland DS-50 on the left sounds very different than my Roland DS-50 on the right. So I panned some audio just to the left, and - I am 99% sure this monitor is blown. I don't even know how this could have happened. It sounds dirty, and very mid-range like. Their appears...
