@keith.rogers - Reaper has none of that. There’s no auxes and no buses. Just tracks. Any track can send to (/receive from) any other track. By default every track automatically sends to it parent. If there is no folder, that parent is the master. If there is a folder, that folder track is...
If anything that could possibly come out of your interface actually damages your ears, you’re monitoring WAY too loud to begin with. If it damages your speakers, they are not big enough to monitor as loud as you’re trying to go. Specify and calibrate your monitors and don’t be afraid.
That...
The 1/8” TRS that came with the thing is meant to be plugged into the mic input on a computer/laptop onboard sound or ”soundcard”. That connection would provide 5V phantom power. The fact it came with that mic strongly suggests that it is actually an electret masquerading as a big boy...
Im not sure there is a great way to extend a cymbal like that.
You could try stretching the audio item by alt+left dragging the edge. The cursor will turn into hand when you’re in the right spot. With “preserve pitch…” on, it is literally resynthesis, so likely to create artifacts which will...
So if you make a midi item that is like a beat long, put a midi note at the beginning, then ”apply track/take effects…” you’ll end up with a one beat long audio item and don’t have to do as much menu digging and importing and trimming.
Or you could do a bunch of those midi items, select all the...
There are so many ways to resample a thing, and save live output is like the last one I’d go for, but ok I suppose. I’d imagine the MT samples are already on your machine somewhere though…
Do you really need that automatic switching? Are you actually trying to use the same exact controls for different parameters just randomly, or are there specific unique fx you want to adjust from anywhere? It doesn’t super have to be either/or, but with just one controller, it can be a bit...
They’re generally not expected to dissip that power. You would wire the DI parallel to an actual load (speaker etc). The impedance of the DI is so high that almost no current flows through its path. This is really the main reason for the -40db pad on most passive DIs.
IF the plugin actually sends out MIDI when you click its keys or play its sequencer, THEN you could right-click the track’s record arm button and find the option to record output (midi). I don’t know that plugin so can’t tell you if it actually has midi output.
Yes, that is not right. 0dbVU can be anything it wants. Often it is +4dbu. -18dbFS can be anything it wants. Less often, it is +4dbu. In plugins and DAWS, often 0dbVU = -18dbFS, but at that point nobody cares about actual voltages or dbu.
I’m sure this doesn’t actually help, more just trivia…
The most iconic ”stereo chorus” effect for guitar is probably the one in the Roland JC amps which is basically the same as the old Boss Stereo Chorus. Both of these create their stereoness by running one side completely dry and clean and...
Way back in the day, I used to run sound for a lot of rave parties. One time a DJ asked if I had a microphone, which nobody had ever asked for before, so of course I didn’t. He was like “ok, I’ll just use my spare headphones.” I was like “What? Oh! Ooohhhhh.”
Ever used a microphone as a...
OBS? It has some plugins right inside it, but there are also ways you could send the audio through a DAW where you can do whatever you want and the stream that into OBS for recording.
These are my main electrics. There’s a couple more kicking around in various states of disrepair, and all the acoustic things are in the bedroom. Then I’m “babysitting” a whole other collection which are mostly on the floor in this same room, but not pictured.
Most of these were pretty cheap...
1. You probably need to go into Preferences and change audio devices.
2. There are settings in Preferences for track defaults.
3. Go in the Action List, find the action bound to Ctrl+R and add or change the shortcut.
Have ya tried it? I never said it was ideal. You in fact quoted the part where I said “not as hot as you’d like”. I think you’re overstating a bit, though. People have done it and are doing it and will do it. Yes a transformer is better. Actually a real preamp is even betterer. Not...
We don’t much care about the impedance, but there’s probably a voltage step up there which could help quite a lot. An XLR>TS cable (or simple modification of the TRS to short the R to the S) would work, but might not be as hot as you’d like.
