    Any Other Editors Out There With On-Clip Gain Controls Like Adobe Audition 3.0?

    There is a feature in Adobe Audition 3.0 called "on-clip" gain control that is very cool. When you highlight/select a section of audio, a little visual amplitude control appears at the top of the selection. You can drag the knob to raise or lower the amplitude of JUST that section and see the...

    Suggestions For Editing Programs?

    I'm looking for an audio editing program that has a couple of features. Mainly, I need to be able to create presets for certain EQ settings, or for fade-in, fade-out, etc. I used to use Adobe Audition (still have version 3 :-)), and I could do that. But AA can be pretty expensive. Audacity is...

    Filtering Noise Talking on Skype With a USB Mic?

    Someone asked me if I knew and I didn't - is there a way to filter out the hiss (it's pretty quiet but definitely there) on a Samson C01U USB mic while doing VOIP stuff like Skype? With an XLR mic running through an interface, there would be options like inserting a noise gate. But I'm not...

    Compressing Vocals While Recording?

    I'm trying to record my wife singing, but she has a very wide dynamic range - very soft and low to very loud in pretty fast swings. I know that compression is the right tool but don't know how I can compress her vocals while she's recording. I only know how to do it after recording, in Reaper...

    How Can I Prevent DC Offset?

    Hi. I just changed interfaces to an E-Mu 1820m and I'm getting (I think) DC offset, where the wave form seems to be off-center. Why does this happen? And is there an easy/obvious way to prevent it? Thanks. Ryan.

    What Makes My PC Sound Card Converters "Bad"?

    I was just looking at the specs for my on-board sound card on my computer, which is a RealTek. It says it uses 16-bit 44.1KHz conversion, which sounds like it should be fine for creating decent quality audio. So what makes it suck compared to, say, the converters on an interface like an...

    Strange Question - Making an Audio File Play In E-mail?

    A friend of mine wants to send an e-mail to someone where a music file would immediately start playing as soon as he opened it. Does anyone here have any idea how you might do that? Thanks, Ryan

    Interface Recommendations For Recording 8 Tracks Simultaneously?

    If I want to start recording a full band with live drum kit, 3 vocals a bass and 2 electric guitars, what kind of interface do you recommend I use? I don't want to just set up 2 mics and record the room to stereo. I'd like to have separate tracks for all (or most) elements. Would something...

    Do You Need Audio Editing Software In Addition to Reaper?

    Hi Everyone. I've been seeing a lot of recommendations for Reaper as good recording software. I've also read some stuff on the web that says you need additional software for editing if you use Reaper. Is that true? If so, I'm wondering why? What are the things (if any) that Reaper cannot do...
