    Looking for suggestions on how to tame a very reverberant live-work space in a converted industrial building

    Well the reason I ask is because, if it is an outside wall with no cavity, then it could be a cold wall. So would need insulating. But you say you want to keep the painted brick look.

    When would one use plugins?

    Here is a pc story for you. It must have been about 2009 and I purchased the latest 1080p digital camera. I then purchased Adobe so that I could make my videos. I was new to all this and wanted to get going. My pc was only 2 years old and all was good. But on editing my videos, Adobe used...

    When would one use plugins?

    Some plug-ins are designed to clean up your recordings and remove unwanted noises etc. They arent designed to improve yourself playing/singing/talking. They are designed to remove unwanted noise that you have 'recorded'. Izotope RX9 (soon to be 10) is purposely designed to post process your...

    Have you ever recorded something so bad the client says forget it?

    I remember one you mentioned before. Now whenever I see their hit come up on Youtube, I take a peek and even then it is not good singing.

    Behringer Mixer Or Mic Buzzing

    The desk mic comes with a whopping 5 meters of cable which was rolled up because the desk is a maze of wires with to pc monitors as well. So I unrolled that and moved it away from electric connections. The mixer 12v mains transformer I have also moved away from all other desk cabling. I think...

    Behringer Mixer Or Mic Buzzing

    Well if I disconnect the desk mic from the mixer Rob the noise disappears in my head phones. If I reconnect and fiddle with gain and headphone output then the noise increases and decreases. So I put the desk mic in my Audient and the noise is still there. But then I put my NT1A which is in...

    Behringer Mixer Or Mic Buzzing

    It is the mic Raymond. I changed mics and put mics in different interfaces/mixers. There is a bit of hum/noise from these but the most is definitely coming from the desk mic. Havent a clue why now.:confused:

    Behringer Mixer Or Mic Buzzing

    Yes the buzz disappears or lessons when fiddling with gain input and headphone output either way. Mains outputs arent used or connected to anything. Phantom power is disabled. Noise still there. Have changed mixer mains plugs. Will try mic into different system and report back. Cheers Raymond.

    Behringer Mixer Or Mic Buzzing

    No Raymond all good there. It is strange, but there is no on/off switch and it was live when all reconnected. Whether that makes any difference?

    It has always worked with or without phantom power supplied by the mixer. The mixer is a Behringer 802. Microphone is a Monacor pdm 302

    Objective means to determine noise floor on recordings?

    Well I purchased the Elements but the next day the Standard came on sale with an upgrade very cheap. So I purchased it. I think it gives you a lot more scope than what you get in Reaper. There is a lot of automated stuff that allows you to process your file in minutes. Saying that background...

    Objective means to determine noise floor on recordings?

    There are great plug-ins that do a lot of back ground noise removal etc. You can retain the settings on one track to use on all of your others that you produce in the same way. But I have noticed this isnt ideal because the levels of noise removal need tweaking for each individual track. One...

    A Year and Nothing!

    Some kinds of substances can affect wiring as well. Polystyrene used to or does still have to be kept away from electrical wiring. I think there can be a chemical reaction between the plastics or something like that. Not exactly sure, but best check before you call the foam man.

    Recording Car Exhaust - Clipping and Gaps

    Zoom H6 on 32 bit? If it were me trying to do that I would find a way of recording it stationary preferably inside where you can go through the gears. Outside you will get wind noise, road noise, and all sorts that you dont want.

    A Year and Nothing!

    Joists are just set lengths of wood that support floors or ceilings. A typical joist would be 9"x2" in a house. Wood is at its strongest when the wide measurement is from top to bottom. For example 9"x2" piece of wood when the 9" is from top to bottom and doing the support. In the good old...

    A Year and Nothing!

    Snowman is there anyway you can clear a decent space down there and build a box? A box being a room which could be your studio. It may only be as big as a bathroom or possibly the size of a bedroom. But at least then you could insulate this straight forward shape very easily and job done. If...
