My understanding has always been that normalizing doesn't change the dynamic but rather just the level of a track. As someone who lost a step with age, I challenge my understandings on the regular. In this case I looked for what I might be missing in your statement. From Izotope, I'm...

Almost sounds like a BNC

Since I mentioned it, I took a look and UAD Verve Analog Machines tape emulation is still free. Plugin Boutique has it for zero dollars as does Uaudio.com till April 30th.

I started out with a list of fundamentals. I watched a lot of reviews and read a lot of posts on production groups on Reddit and Facebook. The thing about getting good plugins cheap or free is time and patience, along with paying attention. There are Reddit and Facebook groups. Free...

What version of Cubase 7 do you have? About a week left of the Cubase sale and upgrade pricing is discounted as well. I'd opt for running on the Macbook. I took a brief listen and agree with TalismanRich that your voice is fine. It is very common to not like the sound of your own voice...

The thing about USB is that it typically just works, until it doesn't. In the world where clients buy tech support contracts, USB is a big part of the support calls these days. And yes, I do remember the days of old where certain cards wouldn't work with particular chip sets and you had to be...

Here is a bit of an explanation of USB functionality. This is a graphic of the I/O of the chip set and CPU on a PC. Note the USB section where the term "Up To" is used. The motherboard has a USB controller that manages USB data between devices and the chip set and the chip set manages data...

No experience with the device but I looked at the product page. It is discontinued and has been replaced by mioXM. In the past I've used MOTU for midi interfaces. On the discontinued and current model, there is no audio. This is a Midi only device. It's RTP Midi which I've worked with...

It's all a ruse to get us to listen to his album.

So excessive noise when pushed is a feature not a bug? What is the old legal expression, the truth is an absolute defense? It's an opinion. I'll add, one that is common. Is the Scarlett series adequate? Maybe. If you are going to use one, a Klark Technik CM-1 mic booster is a necessity...

for the OP, AI = Audio Interface. And Dave, he already has the interfaces. He listed them somewhere in a post above. I will say, I really despise USB. Especially in a professional setting. I have been hoping for a better selection of Dante interfaces so I can complete my studio upgrade...

Had a moment and watched the video. This is essentially what I have been recommending and what I use for long lengths. The picture of the rack I posted is the machine room for a recent install. In the rack are 8 Mac Mini's. I am using Fiber Thunderbolt cables that are 82ft long to the...

I'm really starting to lose my ability to communicate as I've gotten old. If you have the Cat extenders, those would act as your Hub. In fact, that is how your PC will see it. I'll avoid the technical in hope it keeps things clear. If you have enough USB ports to do what you need, then just...

Yes, this is a common phrase to describe the quality of a microphone. If you have a variety of different mics, you can try this yourself. Because we are particularly atuned to the human voice, it is a good source to try this on but works with stuff like acoustic guitars which also has very...

I completely get where you are coming from but also understand it comes from a perspective of a whole lot of experience. Both opinions are valid. Spend a little more and get something a little better. Lots of people come here and just don't have the coin. Starting out, a noob just needs some...

Welcome to the forum. Keep asking questions and you'll get a lot of good advice. The advice thus far is about what to invest as to hardware. I'll take the other end. You said it is time for you to start learning. Here is my advice. Start with Michael White's Fundamentals of Mixing Course...

Sorry, on the road yesterday and didn't get in till late. Midi is easy. In my last set up, I used a Crestron Extender for all my Midi controllers and keyboards and all worked fine. My caution is only keeping the integrity of the data signal for audio. It's actually pretty simple. Upon...

Perhaps it will be helpful to better understand USB spec and connectivity. The 5 meter limitation doesn't mean if you are slightly past that, it no longer works. It's a spec. As an engineer, we design to spec because we know it will work. If you can get by with the 5 meters to both...

I'll be happy to share all that I know. As to how I did it in the past, I built machine rooms but only had to extend monitor video and keyboard and mouse. Big studios are not putting interfaces on their desks. Answer a few questions and I'll see if we can get you some information you can use...

Probably one of the few instances where you can say that. This is a video studio I just finished for a medical device company. It supports two operating rooms and they broadcast out to doctors all over the globe. Audio is all Dante and interconnects between all the rooms in the center...
