    Long Winding Road - DonF w/Tim on gtr

    Thanks to XLR, who sent me a .wav of his part, I remixed the tune. Here's the link: CLICK! Don

    Why am I Getting a Mic Delay?

    Does your Multiface user manual have a section about zero-latency monitoring? I think that's the key to solving your problem. Don

    Software Compressor

    Seafroggys, you are exactly right about Ardour and JAMin. But I think the OP was saying that he was using JAMin to process vocal tracks on the way into the DAW, and he was wondering whether compression on the input side was a good idea. I think we are agreed that it is not generally a good idea...

    Software Compressor

    That's like asking, "Why are you using jelly when you could be using peanut butter?" It's not an either/or. They work well together. To continue with the thread's topic: Using compression after A/D conversion and before hitting the DAW is pointless. You're throwing away dynamic range that you...

    Switching phase on KRK5s?

    Yes, and if you send a mono mix to your monitors, it cancels out everything -- but only at those points that are exactly on the centerline between the two speakers. And that's the trick: You place the microphone exactly on the centerline, while your ears are not on the centerline (not both ears...

    No MIDI playback...

    The bus would be for INPUT, to get the sound from the drum machine into your mix. I'm a little fuzzy on how ProTools works (haven't used it in ages), but I think that's how it's done. Don

    No MIDI playback...

    That would be a way to know for sure that it's working (meaning, the MIDI sequence is triggering the TD-3). But if you want to put the drum sounds into your mix, you'll have to run the TD-3 audio outputs into a ProTools bus. Don

    No MIDI playback...

    Well, something has to make the drum sounds! Correct me if I'm wrong -- but I think you're trying to record the MIDI performance data from the TD-3 into PT, right? Then, when you play back, the MIDI data goes where? It has to go to something that can use the MIDI data to make drum sounds. That...

    No MIDI playback...

    OK, so you've recorded MIDI data from the TD-3 into ProTools, and now you want to play that MIDI data back through the TD-3. It sounds like you have everything plugged in correctly. Is the TD-3 set to receive on the same MIDI channel that the PT track is sending on, and on the correct interface...

    No MIDI playback...

    Do you have the audio outputs of the td-3sw plugged into anything? Volume turned up? Channels un-muted? Don

    Anyone ever heard of sending songs to yourself for copyright?

    It's known as a "poor man's copyright". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poor_man's_copyright http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-general.html#poorman Don edit: I don't recommend relying on this method. If you think your work is worth protecting, register your copyright with the appropriate...

    Splitting bass signal

    If the two inputs are "parallel inputs", just connect one of them to the amp's input. Don

    How to use the AT3035 shockmount? Help!

    Take a look here: http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/item--AUTAT3035 Look at the "On Boom" and "Alt" pictures under Additional Images. Does that help? Don

    Songs for the season

    Listening to O Holy Night right now. It's different -- I'm liking it a lot. Ooh, that high note was a little painful. Can't win 'em all, I suppose. Otherwise very enjoyable! I laughed at "Toys" too. :) Don

    Long Winding Road - DonF w/Tim on gtr

    Well, there's strings, and there's BigFatWallOfStringsWithHarpAndChoir. That's different. Hard to argue that the Spector version wasn't a bit over the top. johnnymegabyte, what exactly do you want a link to? There's a link to a wiki page about Let It Be ...Naked on the page I linked above. I've...

    Sorry, I don't know about MusicMatch, but Audacity will certainly do the job: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

    Long Winding Road - DonF w/Tim on gtr

    Have you heard the track on "Let It Be... Naked"? It's much simpler than the one on the original "Let It Be" album. Phil Spector was responsible for all the sap you hear flowing from that track. Reports indicate that Macca was none too keen on the Spector version (see...

    Thanks, Tim! That adds some really nice flavor to the mix! Don

    Fix a WAV, kick is to prominent

    I used Audacity to apply the Fast Lookahead Limiter plugin (from Steve Harris, plugin.org.uk), with input gain of about 9.5dB, limit of -0.1dBFS, and a fairly fast relase time, maybe 0.08s. That did smooth out the waveform a lot, but I wouldn't expect stellar results. It's impossible to tell...
