    An example of ears going 'blind'

    Comparing your mix with the one from the original soundtrack, the tom/bass notes that come in a the 2 minute mark are way stronger than the original. It's got a "boom" to it that is out of balance with the strings and piano. Great for a disco dance floor, but doesn't fit the song. I...

    Post Your Analog Recordings Here...

    Overall, I think the songs are pretty good. It's not easy to write good songs. My biggest issue is that the guitars have too much "fuzz" for my taste, and are pretty loud in the mix so that they bury the vocals. That's a pretty common trend I hear a lot, guitars that sound "good in the...

    hard drive videos

    If you boot from the normal drive, the drive Toshiba's drive shouldn't cause any boot issues but it most likely will be in a format that Windows can't read. If I was to guess it would more likely be a Linux based format as there would be no licensing fees to use that. It could also be a...

    tascam 38 tape heads and lifespan.

    That's good to know. It's been so long since I really delved into tape decks, I didn't realize that had changed. I always noticed that the sync/record always sounded duller than the play head itself but then I haven't bought a tape deck in well over 40 years.

    tascam 38 tape heads and lifespan.

    I used my old 1/4" 4 track for many years. Eventually the heads do wear, but if it was basically unused and you've only been working on this since January, the heads should be fine. As for the Repro head sounding better, that's to be expected. A recording head should have a somewhat larger...

    Thoughts on vocal tuning/heavy editing and an interesting analogy (I think)

    It's a very common story. Things start out being done by a group, be they artists or athletes, hobbyists, enthusiasts, etc. Then someone realizes that there is money to be made. As the profits grow, the business gets more controlled, and taken out of the hands of those who started it. In...

    Another 'awkward' chinese mic - and something new?

    I heard on this morning's news that the Hong Kong post office is no longer sending packages to the US. First class letters and documents will still be sent, but it probably will affect shipments from TEMU, ALIExpress and other Chinese online marketplaces.

    Markers and labels

    You can add marks while recording with the H6. Its on Pages 22-23 of the manual. There's a button on the side that you press. If you press pause, it also adds a mark.

    Guess what happened to me in December? UFO's Drones..just hear me pics video

    Do you guys live under rocks? She's a singer/songwriter. She's been around for about 20 years, had several #1 songs, did a half time show at the Superbowl years ago. It's not the type of music I listen to, but she has a pretty good voice. She was one of the judges on American Idol for...

    which frequency analyzer to use?

    Plautus, Did you read the post?

    which frequency analyzer to use?

    You have to play something to get any analysis. You can't analyze silence. Put a track in your DAW and hit play. You'll see a cumulative data curve as well as the instantaneous information. You can put some white noise on the track which is simply noise with sound with the same level...

    which frequency analyzer to use?

    I don't have a clue how you are using your Equalizer plugin, but if you are using a DAW, then you can put in your VST EQ plugin, then add the BlueCat Frequency Analyzer. As long at the analyzer comes after the EQ, it will show what effect your adjustments make...

    Audacity/OBS does not "recognise" a mic.... Running out of options on what to do next...

    One could use Reaper or another DAW to determine if the interface and microphone are actually working correctly. That would be my first step. If the hardware is working properly, the it has to be in the driver / program settings.

    Audacity/OBS does not "recognise" a mic.... Running out of options on what to do next...

    First of all, the Beta 58A is a dynamic mic. 48V phantom power is not needed, and does nothing to make the mic work. 48V is needed by condenser mics to operate the active circuitry in the mic. What driver is being used with the ID4? If the Audient ASIO driver has been installed, then...

    Trainwreck of a music video on youtube

    A few months back, my friends and I were playing a song for the first time. Both the bassist and I pulled down recordings from Youtube to work things out, but it turns out that each was in a different key. We started playing and it was one of those WTF moments. "What key are you in? C...

    Inspired by John The Evangelist for Easter

    Ok, there's another of those "buzz words" that get thrown around. Sterile! Can you explain what you mean by "sterile sounding"? As in every voice is perfectly on cue and on key? I've heard choirs with excellent singers, and a good conductor that sounded very much like that. It...

    It's a darn good thing that the aliens observe the Federation's Prime Directive not to interfere with primitive societies, right? I'll believe it when they transport down from the mother ship to my backyard..

    TELE NECK WORK ADVICE

    I would have leveled the frets first, then polish, and do the fret edges last. I don't know if makes a big difference, but you don't want to have to go back after you do the leveling and crowning.
