    So simple it escapes me.

    Heyyyy,...Interesting new development. When I turn the tape transport off, the sound dissipates in an 2 second reverb effect. I, personally, think it's haunted.

    So simple it escapes me.

    I'm trying to simply connect a cassette deck to my PC (oh, just nevermind WHY???) and when playing, I'm not getting a proper Left/Right balance back from the computer. Checked the RCA outs in the back of the deck and it's not that. I ditched one cable (2 RCA to 1 3.5mm) and hand wired...

    Mic, meet Mic

    Just wanted to share a recent experience.... A few months ago I bought an Aston Origin mic and was a bit disappointed in the low level of signal I got from it. After testing various pre's, interfaces etc., I tested another exact same mic and there was a 3 dB increase with the alternate one...

    Speaker To Me

    There seems to be a great divide between good Hi-Fi speakers and Studio monitors. Is the situation as simple as Hi-Fi speakers are meant to enhance the music or the listening experience,...and studio monitors are for getting an uncoloured, non-enhanced sound? Studio monitors seem to be much...

    My first attempt at controlling room acoustics

    OK, ...I'm not asking you to Believe....just to think and try. Take five or more bathroom towels and layer them on top of one another. Have someone hold them up and talk through them. Have maybe a mic on one side and a speaker offering a frequency sweep on the other side. The different...

    Single, Solid Sound

    Greetings, I simply wanted some suggestions for one, mono studio monitor. I want uncoloured sound with a bass down to at least 70Hz. Thx.

    What DAW are you using?

    About 1/50th into Reaper and loving it so far. But I gotta say, doing something simple like Voice over, where you just need a clean read, little noise and a quick method of clean-up......Audacity is still faster for me. Not worried about the destructive aspect. Just record and save. Anything...

    One-Two punch

    Two problems: 1-My new Steinberg UR12 interface is giving me a fair bit of shhhhhh noise, from having to turn it up to 90% and the headphones (Sennheiser 280 Pro) feed to 90%, to get a decent volume. No, it's not screaming loud! The Peak light never comes on and the noise doesn't seem to be...

    Sound Absorbtion

    I felt I should offer this....because the common alternative deals with putting floating fibreglass fibres....close to a person, trapped in a small area......breathing heavily from singing or voicing.

    Sound Absorbtion

    Hahahaha...the response to my above entry has been super underwhelming. No surprise! I expected such a low-tech approach to be 'frowned upon', but I have just invested an amazingly low amount of dollars into a vocal booth, using the same idea, and I am quite happy with it. I built the unit...

    Simple System ?uestion

    I'm sorry. I just gotta laugh here. You guys are so smart, this is getting out of hand. Haha. Let me try one more time.... Using Audacity, I record voice track, in Mono, of course, then do all EQ, Compression etc if I need it. Then import music track usually in stereo, then make it mono. I...

    Thanks Dave. Have read a fair bit but will study the Komplete Audio 6 more. Great suggestion.

    Simple System ?uestion

    Great, useful, concise info. Thanks people. To clarify, what I want to do in the mixing area, is probably impossible even though it's so simple: I want to take the two waveforms, let's say in Audacity, ....one voice and the other a music track, and I want to mix them into one mono track, using...

    (Yet Another) Good Headphones Question

    Have had my Sennheiser HD 280 pro's for a while now and love them. Frequency sweeps seem to stay at an even volume. Comfortable. One thing: No-one ever talks about how the sound of headphones changes depending on how tight they are to your ears. Play something, and ease them off a tiny...

    Simple System ?uestion

    Ok...Am using Audacity (now) with Windows 10. No issues. I have a voice-over business going so I feed a USB mic (now) and use Sennheiser cans. I deal only with a mono final result. Here's the near future: I will have an XLR connected ($500) mic and a ($500) studio monitor ..I like the...

    Real mixer

    Thanks for the input, guys. I think I need a small hardware mixer with, maybe, 4 slider pots. One last explanation: two mono waveforms in Audacity. One voice, one BG music. I want to mix one with the other into a single, mono waveform. Either leave one as is and adjust the volume of the...

    Imbalance

    Yes. DC offset.

    Imbalance

    If my waveforms aren't symmetrical, is it usually the fault of the soundcard? I can't see the mic causing that. Is this a major problem-causing error? So far, I can't discern any audible problem. Just curious! Win 10 Asus computer

    Real mixer

    I don't think you grasped what I wanted. What you suggest sets up the volume before recording. I want to adjust the volume control of both a vocal track and a BG track, WHILE they are being recorded (mixed). ....as you would do, manually, on a 'board'. I won't be recording any more than two...
