    The process

    A fresh, new song popped into my head yesterday morning. I was on my way to the Doc's office and POW ! - I don't know what brought it on. I got a complete first verse of music and lyrics and . . . I kept it going over and over in my head for the next couple of hours . . . then when I got back...

    Is the Mix Muddy?

    I wasn't attempting to make any great improvement, only lighten it a bit. Somehow, the lead vocals got mangled some - mostly the beginning transients of most words, as if the gain had been increased too much - it hadn't. The waveform indicated zero clipping. Not sure where the crackling is...

    Is the Mix Muddy?

    I loaded both versions into Reaper and configured them for quick, single keystroke A/B-ing. They sound virtually identical to me. Flipping back and forth revealed no obvious differences. I'm in agreement with @Bulls Hit. I tweaked it some - here's a remix.

    Freeze not working !

    My first hunch involves the Save operation - when you Save. . IF you Save - somewhere in there, you're tweeking and not saving. . . or tweeking AND saving. Somewhere in these operations lies our confusion.

    Cool Vibes

    I know the vibes I get at my headphones aren't electrical in nature, merely physical vibrations. What I'm "hearing" is not coming from the HP speakers, it's vibrations from the Strat's body, through the cord, through the cups into my skull. Maybe something like Bone Phones.

    Freeze not working !

    Your attached screenshots widen out when clicked on, showing the full image. Though they're still not the full Reaper screen from top to bottom - side to side as seen on your monitor. Is freeze working for you now?

    Is the Mix Muddy?

    Doesn't sound muddy to me (Sennheiser HD 280 Pro phones). I think the ride cymbal is too deep and not steady volume-wise. When it gets loud it sounds like a mistake. IMO, the organ should come up an octave in the chorus - just my first impression. Might not work.

    Freeze not working !

    Always happy to help. Love a good mystery. Can be tedious, but unless someone has the solution right off, we need to dive deeper. If you will post full screen Reaper pics of each step, that could give a clearer position. Like this : Not like this :

    Freeze not working !

    The method of freezing - the specific menu used for freezing will alter the way FX is handled in the process. When using the FX window menu, plugins which are highlighted dictate which FX plugins are frozen - if any. This allows all plugins to be rendered and frozen OR only selected plugins to...

    Freeze not working !

    This seems to be a case where Reaper's multiple ways of performing an action might be the cause. How are you accessing the Freeze menu? Are you right-clicking the Track Control @ screen left? Or are you first opening the track's FX window, then right-clicking within that window? Freeze works...

    Freeze not working !

    Which version of Reaper are you using? Which one of these options are you using to freeze? Are you freezing a MIDI track? Render will freeze and add the post-freeze track to the screen. Freeze will freeze but not add the post-freeze track to the screen. Either way though, when I use any of...

    Freeze not working !

    Post up BEFORE & AFTER freeze pics of the tracks. Depending on which and how many FX are on the pre-freeze track, the Freeze track should look nearly identical - only the FX button will no longer be highlighted because after the FX has been printed in the freeze process, the FX plugins are...

    Audio Technica 4050 Feedback when recording a powerful voice

    I see your headphones have the 62 Ohm impedance rating. This really shouldn't be a problem with volume with the Apogee Duet 3 @ .5 Ohm headphone out. If, however, you're using the Apogee Duet 2 with the 30 Ohm headphone out, the 62 Ohm headphones should still be loud enough but may benefit from...

    Audio Technica 4050 Feedback when recording a powerful voice

    Here's the no-reverb .wav - - Looks and sounds like some clipping. Should this be the case, simply reduce the gain setting on the interface.

    Speaker hum

    Hoping it's just a grounding issue with the new structure, but if it should turn out to be more than that, here's one possible solution : http://blog.melissadunphy.com/2013/12/fixing-buzz-in-my-m-audio-av-40-speakers.html

    Cool Vibes

    My Sennheiser HD 280 Pro headphones sound good, but the coiled cable is driving me nuts. It wouldn't be so bad if I were to stand up and away from my PC while tracking, but I've become accustomed to sitting at the desk. Standing up and away would raise the coiled cord out of my way. Sitting at...
