    Pitch Tracking Plug-in?!

    I agree with you 100% its just the tricky sections where while I was singing, my voice dipped a little half way through a note and I can't pinpoint the exact millisecond that I went flat so I can highlight that data and adjust it so graphical display would help in that way =)

    Pitch Tracking Plug-in?!

    Yes Yes I know melodyne is amazing, I've seen it in action but I like manually tuning the occasional bum note using a pitch shifter. Using melodyne or antares auto-tune, or tc helicon voicetone, would require me purchasing something lol Theres just sometimes where the last half of a note goes up...

    Pitch Tracking Plug-in?!

    I'm curious to find a simple plug-in that simply reads a waveform and displays the pitches graphically.. I know that pitch correction software does this, but I don't want an "auto tune," I simply want to see patterns in singing flat or sharp, but graphically. When I do have a bum note here and...

    Do you render up before mastering?

    I ran across another thread discussing these where a mastering engineer explained that mastering at the higher frequency and bitrate then dithering down to the 44.1khz/16bit actually does have advantages in reducing audible distortion when saturating the sound because most of the frequencies...

    Share Your Double-Tracked Guitar Method

    So I guess there is no real science to it after all.. Just experimentation and seeing what turns out well.. I typically record the first guitar with the tone that I want to be most present for the rhythm guitar, pan this one about 50% left, then record the part again for the double track but...

    Share Your Double-Tracked Guitar Method

    I'm curious to see the approach other people use when recording guitar parts twice, and then hard panning one track left and hard panning the other track right. I've experimented with a few different methods and I'd like your suggestions as well as feedback. I typically record one track at a...

    Do you render up before mastering?

    I'm tracking on a Zoom 8-track digital standalone, saving the project file to cd-rom, importing the raw tracks into my computer-based Cakewalk software for mixing down and adding effects, then using Sony Sound Forge for mastering. I just recently started mastering with the modern technique of...

    Do you render up before mastering?

    My standalone digital audio recorder records at CD quality (16bit/44.1khz) and I was wondering if it's favorable to render that up to 32bit/96khz within my audio mastering software, perform my EQ, compression and normalizing steps, then render back down to 16bit/44.1khz to use the file for cd...

    How do you feel about convolute?

    Will a basic convoluted mattress topper help reduce reflections? Also, there is 2'' high density foam made by Airtex which is sold in my local craft store (greenish blue in color) that I was also curious about. The foam is used for seat padding but I talked into a sheet for a few seconds and it...

    DIY Drum Shield w/ StudioFoam

    This is a bit off topic but while at work today (in a grocery store) I noticed that apples are shipped in larger "egg crate" type trays and I collected 8 just to arrange in my bedroom to diffuse some sound and it seems like it cut some of the high end reverberation product of my bare walls. Has...

    DIY Drum Shield w/ StudioFoam

    I really like the egg idea. I think I'm going to try that. Get all the guys in the band wasted, we'll eat 51 eggs (screw Paul Newman) each, then go around vomiting everywhere. Thanks guys!!!!

    DIY Drum Shield w/ StudioFoam

    I think you guys are missing the point. This isn't too eliminate bleed through from guitars or vocals on the other side. This is simply to get rid of the natural sound of this very bad room and any unnecessary reverberation but without having to spend all the money for auralex or high end room...

    DIY Drum Shield w/ StudioFoam

    Yeah my issue isn't sound getting in or out I'm just tired of recording in bad rooms.. All of the reflective overtones and such. I was hoping some dampening around the drums would help.. We're going to be close micing, so given this room, with the big door that's able to be open, where should we...

    DIY Drum Shield w/ StudioFoam

    The space we have to work with is a storage trailer 15x10 feet and with tile floor and sheetrock walls. The walls are of course parallel but one wall has a very large door that opens, allowing some sound leakage, but I don't know if this is something that will be desirable. I'm wanting a very...

    How many tracks do you use to record drums?

    I'm about to experiment with my own method using two "studio-in-a-box" digital recorders that only have two simultaneous inputs each. I will mic kick and snare which will record onto one unit, and two overhead condensers in the XY stereo pattern will record to the other unit. I will then bounce...

    DIY Drum Shield w/ StudioFoam

    I have designed a DIY drum shield in which I will use five 2' by 5' panels, connected with door hinges and covered on one side with egg-crate foam to dampen the sound. My drummer and I are planning to build this in hopes of eliminating room noise and recording a tighter sound. Does this sound...
