    just moved address, need help with boomy room

    Thanks Chili, I have Ref 4 installed on my DAW already if that's the same thing? Here's a couple of clips. Hello is in 3 parts: listening position, 2 feet back and 4 feet back. Vocal is a small snippet not recorded in this room.

    just moved address, need help with boomy room

    Hi Chaps, The room I've just installed my gear in is quite boomy but it's rented so I cant make any structural changes or even hammer nails into walls. What can I do to tame the room given these restrictions? I'm going to get some hefty curtains for the windows, other than that I'm stumped. Thanks

    UR44 issue -tearing me hair out.

    You cant do that - the headphone mix is routed through a different set of outputs. The reason I need this is because I am using Sonarworks Ref 4. The calibration on the monitors is different from the headphone calibration so I need two sets of different audio.

    UR44 issue -tearing me hair out.

    I'm trying to do something quite simple, play my mix while referencing a track through my computer media player. Easy right? Not since I got the UR44 it isnt. I have Cubase set up with control room, Mix L1 and R1 go to my monitors, Mix L2 and R2 to the headphones, the headphones come out of...

    Do VST compressors actually work properly?

    It could well be me but I don't hear a huge difference especially when trying to limit something to sit nicely in a track. I usually end up manually drawing the volumes in. Have a listen to these examples, I've deliberately uploaded a lively section of the bass for illustration along with the...

    High frequency reording problem

    When I record my vocal it often seems very toppy with the problem frequency centered around the 8kh area. If I cut there, even with a narrow band eq, I lose top but if I don't cut enough the harshness is still evident. It's the same when doing the actual tracking, if I cut on the desk when...

    sound perception

    On my tracks when mixing, things sound pretty balanced sitting at the listening position. (the monitors are about 2 feet away from me, it's a small room) But if I stand and move back say another 3 feet things become much bassier and wooly. Obviously physics comes in to play here but If I bung on...

    anybody identify what this distortion is?

    I'm not talking bout the boomy bottom end but the upper mid distortion. Has it come from the vocalist or am I putting too much signal in? The mic was an SE2200a II Cardioid, the desk Mackie Onyx 1620 Firewire. The vocalist was a good 8 inches away and the signal didnt look too hot. I'm...

    Mackie Onyx and Emu 0404

    Hello all, nice to be here and wonder if you could help with a problem. I have the Mackie Onyx 1620i but the firewire has been failing over the last couple of years despite changing firewire cards, cables and even the PC. I decided to ditch the firewire connection and just use the Mackie as a...
