    one of the people looking at our house turned it down because they didn't have room for their grand piano. I'll admit, that's a huge swath of real estate you have to surrender to own one of those. Plus I'm sure a larger room allows a piano to sound better. This house is just too small for that.

    Have you ever stepped into an anechoic chamber?

    Imagine an anechoic chamber in space? Nobody can hear you scream, you're not even sure if you're making sound either :eek:

    Have you ever stepped into an anechoic chamber?

    Years ago, when I was taking studio production courses at Hesser College in Manchester NH, I wrote a paper on Earthworks Audio. I interviewed with Mr Blackmer, who was gracious enough to take me on a tour of the facilities. On the tour, we looked at the anechoic chamber where they test the...

    (Homestudioguy) Bob G's new DIY desk

    I was wondering about the peripherals being mounted so that their faces are nearly flat. Now maybe most of the gozintas and gozoutas are on the back side but switches and pots are susceptible to dust debris crumbs and liquids (unless you're superhumanly disciplined, I'm not :D)

    If I moved to the countryside...

    funny, I had a dream about a snake aggressively attacking me and I got bit. I returned the favor by smashing it to paste. I'm normally not afraid of snakes and truth was I wasn't scared in the dream, just pissed off that I couldn't outrun a snake

    ADC stand alone vs Audio Interface

    I'm on my second Audio Interface after taking a step up from a very entry level unit. Sadly the 'better' unit has developed a problem, and it is also now OOP. My seller will honor a return. The replacement model has USB-C, which I don't currently have on either of my computers. yes...

    If I moved to the countryside...

    I keep seeing these tiny distances of 100 and 50 meters as if people think that's far away. ;) That's barely the suburbs around here. In the country means kilometer or more away from the neighbors and in this state, that means many trees and hills between. No real need for soundproofing. It...

    USB mic sounds like a chipmunk voice in Cakewalk?

    some people pay extra for that, it's not a bug, it's a feature :D

    I've touched a guitar once since 2/2/20. I have a guitar in the closet, an amp still in the moving carton and a cord. My music room computer is out but the interface was acting wonky before the move and not any better after. Met with the real estate agent today and got the paperwork to begin...

    where do you store your Waves plugin licenses

    i found that i had to regularly transfer my license from machine to cloud to machine in order to make them work again. Then after a year they asked for 250 dollars (whether in total or per app) in order to receive updates and I declined. Frankly I've been quite satisfied with the in house...

    reflective qualities of "luxury vinyl"

    Vinyl is what we ended up replacing the dining room carpet with. The room was built off square from the house so a patterned linoleum was out of the question. The 100% waterproof was the deal maker for us as it is also the entry into the house that is most used. I'll be seeing the results in...

    dang, I looked those up. Ai yi yi. That's a honking big piece of kit. Even for free I couldn't take anything like that, there's just no way. Good luck.

    I hear you about just wanting the stuff done. I moved on the 4th of February (more on that elsewhere) and have been running ragged since. Today I had to make myself relax and ice my sore left knee, in spite of so many boxes that need to be emptied and taken back to the house and refilled...

    Presonus 1810 acting weird

    my bad, I was going direct, two separate tracks at different times. Going with mics is a luxury I don't have here. I doubt if I can even play acoustic guitar it might be too loud. Dang, what did I get myself into? I went from a two story single family home (which is being sold so I had to...

    Presonus 1810 acting weird

    all right now. I tried input 2 and it seems to work fine. Now I don't know if it's the jack of input 1 or the electronics of the input. on a side note, while recording a two track test project, the second track was doing fine and then in an apparent quiet spot (very low waveform at that...

    Presonus 1810 acting weird

    just thought of something. it's input 1 which i use all the time, I mean every single time. I'll try the other inputs and see if they duplicate the issue
