    Mid-side decoding issue - Total silence from the two side tracks

    That's the trick with M/S. The CAD is in figure 8 mode, and you copy the file to a second channel and invert it. Look at the picture of the Reaper setup I put above. You can see the two "side channel" tracks are inverted. Those are both the same file. If you talk into the right side...

    A question from a german songwriter

    I gave your track a listen, and it was absolutely fine. Compared to some of the US raps, it was more understandable than what I hear normally. Also, when I see "rap", I usually associate it with hip hop with little to no music, just a bunch of percussion with and maybe an occasional couple...

    Mid-side decoding issue - Total silence from the two side tracks

    Sorry, that's where it is. That way I could confirm that the waveform was inverted, which shows in the picture. I shouldn't try to do things by memory! :unsure: Rob, I think the difference is in the mix between the M and S channels. The S channels by themselves are quite hollow...

    Mid-side decoding issue - Total silence from the two side tracks

    Porterhouse, it was definitely stereo. I used my headphones and your voice moved from side to side. I took the same files and put them in Reaper and got the same result. Here's my mix, and the setting in Reaper. I inverted the file by going to Track Properties, and phase invert. This...

    Mid-side decoding issue - Total silence from the two side tracks

    How to you get the files from your R16 to your DAW? I always just pull the SD card from my R24 and copy the files directly to the computer. I have never bothered with using the USB connection, but it shouldn't make a difference. I might try doing an M/S with my R24 later. I can't see...

    distortions in my audactity recordings on my laptop

    Then leave your gain high and live with crummy distorted recordings. It's your choice.

    distortions in my audactity recordings on my laptop

    Are you just doing voice over stuff? If so, why do you even need EQ APO? Turn it off, especially if you aren't 100% sure of what it's doing. The clue to the overload is those vertical lines that go to and from the crossover point. That indicates that the AD converter could not determine a...

    distortions in my audactity recordings on my laptop

    I'm guessing you are massively overloading your interface. Looking at your waveforms, I've seen that pattern before where you get so far over 0dB that the converters go nuts and either invert or go to 0. It happened to me once before I could turn down the gain. Turn down your input...

    Sony cassette recorder and microphone attachment with out pre amp

    I'm going to make an assumption here (maybe totally off base), but if the OP is getting a used PG58 then this is probably his first foray into recording and the cassette deck is already in the picture. Recording practice sessions could be for submission to a music teacher, or just to gauge...

    Sony cassette recorder and microphone attachment with out pre amp

    If he's just recording his guitar practices, I think he'll be fine with just the mic and cable. I doubt that he'll be practicing more than a few feet away from the deck. Certainly not a football field away! Once he figures out that it would be cool to add multiple parts, then he can look...

    Sony cassette recorder and microphone attachment with out pre amp

    You can plug the PG58 into the Sony but you will need to have an XLR to 1/4" adapter or cable. The PG58-QTR comes with the proper cable. It should be wired Pin 2 of the XLR to tip, and Pin 3 to the sleeve. The mic inputs of the Sony are low Impedance with a sensitivity of .25mV. The...

    Mid-side decoding issue - Total silence from the two side tracks

    Did you look at the two tracks and confirm that they are indeed inverted? Simply zoom into the wave from and you'll see if things are flipped immediately. If so, then your issue has to be somewhere in your routing. Are you trying to combine the two side channels to a single channel to...

    Interface monitors and internet speakers / switching between

    I could, but I want Reaper to only use the ASIO driver. I have no need to use the windows drivers. It's only an issue if I wanted to play along with a Youtube video and record at the same time. If I wanted to play along with a regular wave or MP3 file, I would just drag it into into...

    "Mystical" - New Minimal Tribal Techno

    First comment.... thanks for not subjecting me to a 120BPM thump!!!! I actually listened to the entire track instead of the first 10 seconds. I guess techo is just one of those genres that doesn't excite me on it's own, but as I was listening to it, I was thinking "this would be a really...

    Interface monitors and internet speakers / switching between

    As you said Gecko, all my audio goes through the interface. The onboard Realtek audio is disabled. The only "issue" that I have is that I can't play a Youtube or media player at the same time when Reaper is active, as the DAW/ASIO takes precedence over any other audio. If I simply...

    The good practices of saving audio samples?

    Take one of the samples from Maschine+ and look at the peak and LUFS levels. That should tell you where they are. Then look at the peak and LUFS levels of your samples. As long as a sample's peak is below 0dB, it can be adjusted downward. If I was doing it, I might leave the peak level...

    Hey, you never know with a bunch of old geezers!👴 I mean, have there really been any good female singers since Janis and Grace?

    Limiting opinion survey

    I'll be the contrarian here. I think the second mix sounds more cohesive, more balanced overall. The top one just seems to push a bit hard in spots and seems to have some distortion that is almost fatiguing after hearing it 3 or 4 times. BTW, I like to song a lot, K!

    An example of ears going 'blind'

    If it's going to be a backing track, you probably have no clue what the actual quality and response capability of the playback system will be. I've never been on a cruise ship, so I don't have a clue what to expect. Will the system have a pair of 15" subs that go down to 20 or 30Hz, or does...

    Repairing an H2n

    Unfortunately, when a competent technician will probably charge you $80-100/hr for service, and a new H2Essential is $180, it becomes questionable as to whether repair is a good option. If it requires some parts, and 2 hours of labor, you are looking at spending more for repair than for...
