Could it be the instr switch? Can you get access to it so that you can spray some contact cleaner in there?

It looks like the OP wants to expand the number of inputs on the RME by using the Saffire as an 8 channel input expander. This should be perfectly possible but the big disadvantage of doing this with a second generation Saffire interface is (like the Pro40) that you have to connect it up as an...

Did you press the stop button in Reaper? If so, if you check your default recording directory you will probably find that all your audio files are still there. If you didn't hit the stop button I think Reaper still stores the audio in temporary files which may be readable.

That doesn't look good. Agfa PEM468 will either play completely cleanly or, just occasionally, it will shed fairly badly. I would expect the BASF version to be similar although it is newer. It may be coincidence, but the problem 468 tapes that I've encountered have mainly come from US studios...

You can really hear into a mix with them. They pull things apart and allow you to hear the effect of very small changes. Thanks to the dual concentric driver, you can work very close to them and be almost immersed in the sound. However, they are efficient and go loud so you can use them for long...

While Agfa/BASF PEM468 usually plays with no shedding, occasionally you may get a bad one and I don't know of any way to stop it from shedding. Repeated plays will just mean more shedding and from personal experience I know that baking will make it worse. I would give the tape path a very...

I'm afraid you can't have mine - I like them too much. I saw some the same as mine for £1200 a while ago but they've become collectable. I often wonder what the new versions sound like but I've not heard them yet.

From the plan I guess you are in Poland. US electrical wiring is very different to European wiring so you would be better off finding a local audio forum and asking about power there. Balanced or isolated power isn't normally used or needed in most parts of Europe.

To me it all sounds a bit dull and loose with too much room sound. The feel on the hi-hat also makes it sound like you are struggling a bit, rather than comfortable with the beat, though this is typical if you have only just started to play drums. Given you are just starting out, try recording...

LS3/5as started to be made commercially in 1975 and are still made today. The new ones sell for just under £3k. I bought my pair in 1997 and I still use them today.

After I replaced the NS10s with some BBC designed LS3/5as in our studio, the number of people coming back because they were unhappy with their mix reduced to pretty much zero. The LS3/5as were much easier to use than the NS10s and allowed you to hear far further into the mix. For many years the...

The problem with the UMC22 is that it doesn't have ASIO drivers so you are relying on the Windows drivers with higher latency. The cheapest Behringer interface with proper ASIO drivers is the UMC0202HD.

As I've probably mentioned before, the MOTU Digital Timepiece can also work in the same way though I don't get many tapes with timecode here.

Could it be generated after the desk? Maybe an unstable power amp or poor wiring at the power amp end?

The big problem is that your preamp output is going to be at line level while your audio interface will be expecting a mic level input if you are using the XLR inputs. It also isn't a good idea to run mic signals through a jack patchbay if you are using phantom power. You may want to keep your...

I'd certainly think about mix ideas while recording. However, the most useful thing is to think very carefully about the arrangement before you even start recording. It is much easier to mix something where the parts fit together than it is to mix something where all the parts are fighting each...

Like Sweetbeats, I'd say you can't really Google this stuff. There is too much out there that is just wrong and misleading. I'd say that you probably want to get hold of the book, Small Signal Audio Design by Doug Self. It isn't cheap but Doug worked for Soundcraft and also writes for Wireless...

If you are a Reaper user you have the option of creating at least 64 channels (although I think they may have increased that recently). It is extensively used in surround sound research including for high order Ambisonics. I've stood inside this rig which is fairly impressive but the...

Reaper tends to assume that you know a bit about recording first. Arming a track just means selecting which tracks you want to record onto. Also, if you have had Reaper on the machine before it is possible that it has picked up an old settings file with some odd settings in it. You may need to...

I must admit that I didn't re-read it and the first few lines didn't seem as much of an advert as other articles I've seen. The other interesting place to look is the Dolby Atmos thread on the Reaper Forum. It isn't all useful but there are a few interesting posts. It seems that the EBU have...
