Greg, Thanks for your experienced insight. "Truly clean sound"- I have not been completely satisfied with the amp's idea of clean. It's not pristine clean, as I think it should. Although the stripped-down is cleaner than the effects they modeled, I think I have reached the limit on what this...

RFR, I've been looking at the Boss line, for sure. I agree on "I have to figure out ... sound wise." Right now, it's all based on emulating and my ignorance of how-to. So I am going to start experimenting. Dale

Sorry- as Ron White says "that's important information to know right there." Greg- I'm glad you chimed in... I respect your opinion. Definitely distortion or OD. Others, I am open to suggestions. I'm a bedroom-concert rocker who only plays to relax, from the 60s-80s. IE. Boston, 38 Special...

I'm a pedal-newb, 50-something rocker wannabe, and realize that this question will open a can of worms. My intent is not for this to degrade into a pissin' contest (as we call it down here on the Po' farm). I know that the answer to my question is preferential and subjective. However, I am...

Coincidentally, I just read an interesting article about dynamic range vs. headroom a few minutes ago. It aligns to Greg's over-compression statement. Recording: Audio Basics: Headroom Is Not the Same Thing As Dynamic Range - Pro Sound Web

Bob, I have a baffle system and fan in my booth. However, I usually only run it long enough to get it bearable enough to stay in there to record, and later just ventilate it by opening the door for a bit. I kill the fan, to stop the air flow while the mic is on. As you have probably already...

Tmelvin, Guilty as charged..... I have been known to slap a mic (in fact it was 2035 too) into the shock mount with pop filter in front, and wonder why it sounds like I am in the other room talking. Experience is the best teacher though!!! I always check for the logo now. I bet you will too. Dale

Talent... Gecko gave you some good advice regarding "one aspect at a time". You may want to consider recording the piece as a whole, so you can stay in character throughout the script. Although it would be good practice for getting back into character for pickups, recording the piece in one...

One other thing to check are the screws and standoffs that you used to attach the MoBo to the chassis. While fighting my no-power-up-battle with an Asus Maximus, I found information about making sure the screws and posts were not allowing a short, and also warnings about taking care not to...

I found an interesting article about Izotope's audio training course that "helps you hear music like a producer." I wonder if it's worthy? This audio training course helps you hear music like a producer | The Verge

If it's not a pin, like mine was, make sure the lock down is secure. I recall that the Asus CPU lock can be a pain. Otherwise, Steen's reccomendation to strip back to the bare bones is a great troubleshooting plan. You had a lot of power hungry components installed that could be causing a...

Dach, Another thing to check, with a good magnifying glass, are the pins on the processor. Make sure that none of them are bent. I fought that battle on an Asus ROG Maximus-beast that I built for my son. It had one, ever so slightly, bent pin. Dale

MJ, I use WavePad -Free, by NCH. It records up to 44.1/32bit, (for $ WAV/GSM-MP3-AIFF) WAV/PCM (free), and allows export to Email or FTP. Dale -iPhone 4

DrCane, I couldn't hear any crackle. However, what I think you are hearing is mouth noise. You are taking many breaths during your phrasing, which will dry out your mouth. Try breathing from the diaphragm and practicing breath control, like a singer. Also, be well hydrated (room temp water...

Duder... If you don't like it, give me a shout. I bet I can sneak it into my studio, here on the poor farm, before my accounts manager (read as wife) finds out. When asked "is that new?", I usually say "Oh that old thing, I've had it a while." <<< think I stole that from someone on this...

Update: Found. For future reference, the .ini files are found in C:\Users\Dale\AppData\Roaming\REAPER... called reaper-kb.ini You will have to set folders to Show Hidden Files, in order to see the AppData folder, et.al.. Dale

Drcane, I can't give you a fair critique because the clips you posted are so brief (you have to listen fast), and I just tore down my editing room for a makeover. I had to listen through headphones instead of my monitors, which are unhooked. It did seem to have a bit more isolation and up-front...

Ron, If you will do a forum search for Owens Corning 703, OC 703, sound absorbers, or Roxul, you will find a ton of information about DIY sound absorbers. There have been many discussions posted to this forum, some with step by step construction images. Absorbers will need to be strategically...

Friends, I have recently completed some hardware upgrades on my editing PC. I installed a new HDD, with a fresh load of Windows. However, even with my diligence in saving VSTs and other files, I failed to dig around in the Reaper file for my SWS custom actions and shortcuts that I built for...

Nola, Not that I can tell. It's stay pretty true to the sound of my voice. But as was mentioned, I do have to roll off the bottom end (I get boomy at times with this mic if I'm working it close) and I have to notch out an Esse that creeps in on me from time to time. Dale
