Curious how this mix strikes you. Any aspect of it you feel like commenting on. I'll say more about it after I hear some feedback.

I've been using IQ4gui multiband dynamic eq VST plugin under SoundForge. It was running okay until it started having issues. When I try to use the high band in peak mode, it crashes every time. It previously worked fine. Then suddenly it didn't. Tried rebooting, even re-installing the .dll file...

Here's an example of what I've come up with so far. Various experimentation with eq, compression, reverb. It dresses it up some, but that dull, hollow ambience is still in evidence.

Another call for sows ear/silk purse conversion. If someone has recorded themselves in an untreated room and there's obvious ambient tubbiness as a result, any suggestions re: tricks to minimize this? I've been trying cutting at various lower freqs. Thanks.

I have an unusual issue, probably not a common one. There's a karaoke site where you can find both mono and stereo versions of songs people have performed. I want to take a mono version with someone's vocal and line it up with the stereo version of the track. The problem is, while it's the...

I've got a bottle of Tascam cleaner/conditioner - says contains petroleum distillates. Wondering what if any Hardware store product will work as well or better for conditioning tape player and VCR rubber pieces? Thanks

I isolated a vocal from a karaoke performance by lining it up with the instrumental track and inverting one. Works mostly except for some residual high freq stuff that stays behind. Problem is it was recorded with a cheap condenser mic and the girl's belty voice creates a lot of spiky...

I ran aross this dynamic eq VST plugin the other day IQ4gui - dynamic EQ A problem I've run into with it is that if you're previewing a file or a chunk of a file it doesn't start from a zero point, it picks up from wherever you quit when you last previewed the file - if where you quit happened...

I strongly suspect something is wrong with the output level on an Alesis Nanoverb. Even with the input set just a hair under clipping and the output at full throttle, I get low output gain, never comes anywhere near full scale. The sound that's there is good but I think something is crippled. I...

Why do people feel a compulsion to make these unboxing of (whatever mic) videos found on YouTube and Vimeo? Sometimes they don't even get around to actually demo'ing the mic. Seems odd to me.

Re: Which Microphone? ...or how much difference does it reallymake? I commented some in the recent "Which Microphone?" thread and happened to stumble across this excellent mic shootout video on YouTube. They demo a number of mics, some pricier than others, including an SM58. At the end, they...

Focusing on the vocal of this track. If you were going to duplicate this solo vocal sound, what would you do? Not pushing an agenda here, I just happened to be focusing on this song since a friend did it on a karaoke site. Phillips, Craig & Dean - Revelation Song lyrics - YouTube

I'm looking into getting a weighted-action keyboard. Anyone have a recommendation? Wondering what the least expensive model is that isn't likely to have "cheaply made" issues a little while down the road - things break, stop working under normal non-abusive use. I don't have to have a lot of...

I got an MXL R40 ribbon for grins, first ribbon I've had. My initial experiments with it haven't blown me away. It may be I haven't found the right formula for EQ'ing it. I've been really happy with MXL condensers I've had and I've seen good reviews of this particular mic. Wondering if my pre...

In the past when I've saved a preset on a 3rd party VST plugin, it brought up the "Save As" field and made it available in the preset dropdown menu just like it does with bundled FX. After an O/S reinstall and reloading the third-party freeware VST plugins in the "VST Plugins" folder, now when...

Not a "studio mic" but it sounds surprisingly good. Better than the typical cheapie computer electret mic I'm used to hearing. Thanks. http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/3/11/1809238//mystery_mic.jpg

Looking for suggestions as to how to treat a particular audio file, 44.1 mono. Want to bring out the clarity and tame some harsh peakiness and boominess, yet maintain the basic dynamic character of the audio - i.e. don't want it sounding ultra compressed. Here's a .wav file with 3 sample...

I hope this is the right forum, it seemed to be the closest fit. I have a mono .wav file and want to do some treatment to it. Overall sound isn't too bad but there are some issues. Here's a short sample - the main problem is with the harshness/spikiness/distortion in the female vocal. This was...
