If you want a great starter keyboard then I'd suggest looking for a used Yamaha PSR-E4x3 (where the x can be replaced by any number between 0 and 7). My lad has the PSR-E403 while one of our band members has the PSR-E463. The whole range work in a similar way with just a few features added...

Interesting conversation - and of course (as someone who does quite a bit of mastering) I'd disagree with much of what has been said in the last few posts. Mastering in the old days was exactly as Serendipity Records says, you were adjusting the producer's idea of what the mix should sound like...

I think the second generation Saffires like the Pro 40 and the Pro 56 require you to connect to them via Firewire in order to set up the stand-alone routing. Once you've set that up and saved it, you shouldn't need to connect to it again. The older Saffire Pro26io (not the plain 26) has a couple...

The Presonus Eris speakers are gaining a good reputation - even the 3.5" ones are usable apparently. Personally I'd go for something used. If you want a guarantee then you may find a local music shop or whatever the equivalent of CEX is where you are with something suitable. I've just fixed up...

For production you certainly want to use 24 bits but CD standard 44.1kHz/16bit mastered files are fine for most digital distribution. However, most services will now accept higher resolution files and some will even flag them as HD or something similar so, if the flag is important to you, it...

I think you are using a formula that you've read about rather than using your ears. Strip back your signal chain and use the processes that your ears tell you are needed rather than the things you've read about.

Computer soundcards can be very variable in quality - and the ones sporting the big audio names can be worse than those with no such endorsement. The Behringer is a known quantity and unlikely to be worse than the computer's own soundcard but it won't necessarily be that much better.

I would say that -9LUFS is a fairly high level to aim for and that it is probably too high for your material. Try easing back by a couple of dB. Have you tried parallel compression? That is a good technique to use if you want to retain transients but bring the level up. It may also be worth...

I've just checked and Audacity does have an interpolate function - although it calls it Repair. https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/repair.html This is probably the cheapest way of fixing things provided the click is less than 128 samples long. Other software can fix longer clicks.

That's why I suggested the Yamaha StagePAS. In my experience it sounds reasonably decent and is simple to set up. There are many alternative ways of doing this but it is probably best to start simple for now. You don't need another audio interface if you have the H6 - it will work as an audio...

You can get Reaper for the Mac. It is free to try and the demo doesn't run out - although the price to buy it is very reasonable too. I'm an audio person so I find it much easier to use Reaper for video than Resolve because it treats video in a very similar way to how it treats audio. However...

I've been using my Zoom U-44 feeding a mobile phone in a similar way to the way that I suggested and it works well. The mics sound pretty good and you can actually reduce the sound of loud instruments by pointing it away from the instruments that are too prominent. If the H6 uses the same mic...

Are the clicks always in the same place? If so, they are probably on the recording. You could remove them using an interpolate tool in something like Izotope RX, Adobe Audition or Acon Acoustica (maybe even Audacity although I've not checked). I also have a method for removing them in Reaper by...

There's a very handy guide to using audio interfaces with Android at https://www.extreamsd.com/index.php/technology/usb-audio-driver They have a few handy tips for Zoom devices (like my U-44 only works in 24 or 32 bit mode).

I would record the video and audio separately and then sync them up later (though I would record a rough sound on the camera to make syncing easier later). Use the mics on the H6 to pick up the drums and any other loud sounds in the room. You can then plug an output from the piano into one of...

Can you show us more of your screen? You've cropped out lots of stuff that could give us a clue. If you really want people to help then you have to tell us exactly what hardware and software you are using and show us everything.

A good tape machine like the A77 sounds better than most people expect. The effect of analogue tape is very subtle unless you use poor tape at low speeds. The A77 will sound very different to your Tascam cassette recorder.

You only need to install ASIO4All if you are using software that requires ASIO. Most of the software that we discuss around here works better with ASIO drivers but the kind of software that you are using doesn't need them. The built-in Windows class compliant drivers are fine for your...

Good to see. Unfortunately my E16 and 4050 are at the studio and I'm not going there for a few days so it would have been a bit of a wait.

Interesting that my cheap as chips Acer laptop from 2004 is still working and running a recent version of Reaper. It was doing 24 track location recordings up until a couple of years ago when the Firewire interface stopped working.
