As far as I know, the difference is the centering and band shift controls given on a parametric, which the graphic lacks. Is that right? Or is there any more to it than that? Is it normal for parametrics to have less bands than graphics? By that, I mean the main band sliders. Is it okay or...

I'm a bit lost with noise gating at the moment. Wonder if I could get some advice? I think I know enough to know how little I actually know on this subject, so any beginner advice would be appreciated. Purpose: Speech for audio narration. Bits of music are involved, but we're concentrating...

I recently watched a video on YouTube where a guy was demonstrating how to use various de-essers. I listened intently, looking away from my monitor and even switching off the lights - but I couldn't hear one bit of difference. Is that a bad sign saying my ears are crap or can I not expect a...

I had my set up for making audio books - a new/ second hand dual core system with bags of memory and (long story short) I made an error in troubleshooting a power problem and blew the motherboard. So now I'm forced to default to a crappy HP Compaq system that a friend threw out to record on. I...

So, I'm finally in. Got the benches built and the gear arranged pro tem before taking it out to decorate and then putting everything back in place. So to sound treatment. The question is, how will I know if it sounds good or bad? What am I listening for? How does an ideal mixing environment...

Me again, with the audio spoken word...! In trying to speed up my game here, I decided to experiment with a limiter algorithm and wonder if I'm wise to use it. Let me first explain the situation... When I record my speech into the audio logger, despite my experience with voice work, there are...

Still relatively new to this. I've been playing around with plugins for days and now my ears have totally shut down on me. I don't know what's right and wrong any more and can't keep track of the changes I've made. So I thought I'd turn to the more experienced for advice. Basically, what...

For this project I will working with purely the spoken word. I have two landing strips where I put my two audio loggers, respectively ("tape-1" and "tape-2"). Each audio logger has to go through a series of effects first, before reaching the output. On playback, the strips route to my master...

Hi all. Hope you are all well! I'm back after a somewhat long hiatus from audio recording. I've come back to it with a renewed vigour as new hope and opportunity for my audio book business has presented itself! I don't know if anyone remembers me, but I started on this forum recording a...

I use FL Studio, which has the FPC, which is a pretty good drum machine, offering loads of presets. However, outside of the piano roll, I can't work out how to program/ sequence it. Drumming with black & ivory doesn't seem to work for me. I know there are better ways. I just bought a...

In my studio, the DAW system is not connected to the internet and so if I want to sample from Youtube or whatever, I must either record & transfer digitally from my internet computer; or I can use an audio cable for connection to the sound mixer. Both computers share the same power amp and are...

I'm trying to program a Novation Zero SL MKII control surface, using it's native editor, for Windows... It might take a long time to explain exactly all of the problems I am encountering but I need to know if it's the controller that is faulty (so I can send it back) or whether it's my...

I have been reading help, talking to technical support and pressing buttons on this blasted thing for about 9 hours solid and can't make neither head nor tail of it. I'm normally pretty good working out new equipment but this gadget is totally unintuitive and the manual is utterly crap. How do...

I was wondering if anyone has any general tips for dealing with mixing in a non-treated environment? I realise that it's hard to be definitive when dealing with an unknown environment - but do you know of any general rules of thumb; ie: basic principles, which I could bend to my purposes in an...

(Think I put this in the wrong section, to begin with. Sorry!) I'm trying to decide which to get... I use FL Studio to record and arrange tracks. I can't decide which MIDI control surface will suit me best. Can you help? Behringer BCF2000 (Rotary) I originally chose to go with the...
