By default I think simple mute off lines all the plugins on the track. If you also don’t want to see it, hide it from tcp/mcp after muting. If you really want you can render or freeze first, but generally mute just does it.

All that said, try not to split things that want to be phase coherent across devices. Like, all the drum mics should be on the same clock when you record it. If you’re doing like bass via DI and amp, make sure they are recorded using the same clock. You’ll have a much better chance of...

Important to keep in mind that the “drift” is an actual difference between the speed one or both was recorded and the speed at which it is being played back. That means there is a pitch change involved, and while it may be super small in terms of tones and cents, it is real. When we go to...

Waaaay back in the day I built a database-driven page on the studio intranet for this. There were drop-downs where you could pick what piece of gear you wanted to connect where and it would tell you which holes in which of the 5 bays you needed to patch.

If it was just that the file existed, it would have a pop up telling you so and asking if you want to overwrite it. The problem was that the file was in use and locked up by some application. The times I’ve seen this was after I rendered a file with the “add to project” option enabled, then I...

How far down the road are you? Just rendering again with dither is easy enough, but if you’ve already uploaded it all over the place, it’s probably not worth it. It’ll be fine. Nobody will ever notice. That said, I always leave it on but often also just add noise way above the dither floor...

It’s not about impedance. The compressor thing expects line level signals, and the SM58 is nowhere near as loud as it wants. Then, it’s a compressor, so it’s turning the already low level down even more. In the process, the circuit also adds noise. Then you’re trying to turn that all back up...

Yeah it’s a sort of newish feature where Reaper can save the render stats as an html document. I’d imagine there are ways to specify when/if/where those files get saved. I’ve never really looked into it myself, but I know it’s a thing.

Well like when you go to render/bounce/whatever your DAW calls it and choose a fixed point format as destination, that can and will clip at 0dBFS. I said I didn't want to get into the gain staging thing, and I still kind of don't, but... Proper gain staging involves adjusting levels in such a...

Well 3dB is a rough estimate/eyeball/rule of thumb approximation. It’s what we’d expect if the source were uncorrelated noise. But I think it’s more about the average levels. Peak levels can actually accidentally line up just right so you get the full 6db. True peak is just made up guesses...

Are we talking about EQ? If it’s just volume, does your DAW not have a loudness normalize process? In Reaper you’d just select them all, normalize, wait a little while for it to process, and be on your way.

I see it a lot in live sound. In fact my boss has recommended it to me once or twice. I’m always “Can I just have another stand or two?!?” It gets into the realm of messing with my performers’ gear which I try hard to avoid. That guitarist is definitely going to want to turn the exact knob...

I kinda hate when I see people do this. It’s just half-assed and lazy, very difficult to get precise positioning, and having the mic just swinging can’t be good for phase stability. In a pinch, if you’re really out of mic stands, it can be better than nothing, but if you’ve got the shit to do...

Record yourself eating a dynamic mic and then two feet back from a condenser. Oh shit the condenser picked up too much room noise!

A reversed IR, OTOH really does work except it’s late by the length of the IR. That can be compensated one way or another of course.

I mean I assumed we were talking about the OPs mod where the MT was moved to the B and the NT is jumpered to the M, but even in stock Strat wiring the M+N position has both T pots active.

IDK what’s happening in you’re weird little world, but… IF we’re still actually talking about a standard 5-way AND there is a T pot active in position 3 (middle only) THEN that T pot is also active in positions 2 and 4 (combinations with middle). IF the middle and neck are sharing a T pot...

Move the wire from what’s labeled as middle tone one lug to the right, to where the jumper lands. Don’t actually add that jumper at all and the middle pickup has no independent tone control (also no tone load, so slightly brighter than it might otherwise be). In B and B+M position, the one T...

Do want the other two pickups to share the other tone or which other pickup gets it?

Assuming you’ve correctly identified the lugs on your switch compared to the diagram, it should work. The middle tone control will affect the bridge and middle pickups and the two combinations which include them. The other T pot will affect the neck pickup and the one combination that includes...
