    What sample rate and bit rate these days?

    I would endorse Colt Capperrune recommendation for 48kHz/24 bit. Just a thought, at mastering time you can take your 48kHz/24 bit mixed track, turn it to analogue to go through analogue mastering hardware, and A to D it at 44.1/16 bit for your 'mastered for CD' version of your master, if you...

    The Migration to Win 11 begins

    Disable your Trusted Platform Module in the computer BIOS, install Windows 10 and Microsoft will see your computer as being incompatible with Windows 11. Give companies another year or 2 to get all their drivers sorted. Also use the Chris Titus Tech utility to de-bloat Windows. Once Windows 10...

    Looking for an interface recommendation for recording my band

    I agree with your thoughts on FireFace 800. I have been using them for years and they have never let me down. It is easy to buy Firewire PCIe cards on eBay with the Texas Instruments chip set. The PCIe computer buss will be around in the PC world for a long time to come. You can buy FireFace...

    Which Linux for Non-music?

    If you are asking that question you are new to Linux. Linux Mint has a reputation of being easy to use for people transitioning from the Dark Side (I mean Microsoft Windows). I set up my wife on Linux Mint I put on a used Lenovo T470s bought from eBay. (great little laptops). I spent 30...

    Got banned/restricted on distrokid for no reason

    Have a look at this: I would open a new account under a slightly different name and submit longer tracks with a bit more production. Do more of the same and you will only get banned again. They get tens of thousands songs submitted every day, most of which is never listened to. I suspect...

    Spotify streams

    There are ways to build an audience of real followers. What you are proposing are fake followers. Have a look at this book: 'One Million Followers, Updated Edition: How I Built a Massive Social Following in 30 Days'. I have found intelligent, photogenic women can be very good at creating...

    Banning of certain music released for Facebook, Tik Tok and Instagram

    I am listening to "Relaxing Beach Sounds" on Spotify right now. Like most enforcement I am guessing it is a bit random? I have just opened a track called 'Ambient Sleep 2024'

    Who still mixes with a console?

    I was mixing through a Soundcraft Spirit Digital 328 mixer but I kept running out of channels and it became a bus mixer. I now find the workflow of doing it all, or 95% of it, 'in-the-box' to be easier, especially if I was asked to make adjustments to a completed mix. The core of my system is...

    How do I set up ATMOS without spending a fortune? Cubase user.

    My question was not should I. My question is how. ATMOS mixes are something I can offer as a product from my studio which may give me a competitive advantage in my services. I want to know from a person who has done it: Can I just plug the 13 required speakers into outputs from two RME...

    How do I set up ATMOS without spending a fortune? Cubase user.

    So I am thinking of setting up ATMOS in a 7.4.2 configuration. The main front speakers will be Mackie HR824's. I am thinking of 8 JBL LSR306P MKII (I already have 2) for the surround and top speakers, and PreSonus Pro 10 Sub for sub woofers. They claim to get down to 20Hz. There is a total...

    Recommended controller for Cubase?

    You might find a Mackie Universal Control works well. I have used one for years and been very impressed with it. There are plenty on the Used Market.

    RME Fireface bust... what to do now?

    There are plenty of used FireFace 800 units on the market. I have 2 that were both purchased used after my original one was stolen. The only disadvantage is the firewire interface is getting a bit dated but good PCIe cards with the TI chipset can be purchased on eBay easily. This works in the...

    Anyone using RØDE M5 mics ?

    I own a pair of Rode M5 and have recorded violins and acoustic guitars with them many times. They are a good quality, clear detailed mic. I have also seen a shoot out that included Neumann KM 184, Rode M5, and Behringer C2 microphones. Microphone placement made much more of a difference than...
