1. Yes, the A/D converter
2. The mic, the preamps, yea, those things matter, sure. Also the converters (arguably becoming less of an issue all the time, also arguably still an issue, though). More importantly is the source, the performance, and the ability of the guy positioning the...
Sure you do!
....and nobody will ever have to know but you :eek: :p
Don't sweat it - the people you think you upset are aware of that trick, have tried it - and come to the conclusion that it sucks....every time. Responses get shorter and snappier the more it gets (re)suggested...hence...
I'm not familiar with that vsti, but a couple of things to check are which MIDI channel it's listening on (drums are channel 10 by default) and make sure you're sending that channel to it - also check what octave you're playing in. B0 and C1 are kick in general midi and most drum vstis that...
Drumagog, like every other recording of acoustic drums for death metal, of course!
Awww... getting fed up with music morality police? Good... Me fucking too, man :D
Ok, well, unless the playback device is only capable of playing back music recorded at 48Khz, like an old ADAT machine or something, this doesn't make any sense. You said it was a computer with the sessions on it (which will play back 44.1 material just fine), sooooo again - you were told some...
That's fine, I really got the feeling I was being trolled there - no big deal. The short answer is no - stereo won't be higher quality, the longer answer is no - stereo just doesn't make any sense for a mono source, read what I wrote again and abandon the relationship you're making between...
Unless there's a lot more to what you read there, or they were talking about aiming for DVD (which uses 48 natively), I think it's safe to say you read some nonsense :p. If you're going to end up on a CD (which uses 44.1) - record at 44.1. This is one of the few things in recording that really...
Why do you need both? Are you planning to make a DVD, too, or what? Most people record at the sample rate of the format they intend to end up with, so if it's just a CD - record everything at 44.1.
Either way - you won't necessarily have to re-record; resampling is a simple process. It's...
In most DAW software, those are automatically setup to reflect what your audio hardware's driver reports it is capable of. In your case, it sounds like your interface (or sound card if you don't have an external interface) has two input channels, and you can either use them as individual mono...
With the little information you've given and the way you're wording things, my head is spinning trying to guess what you're really going on about.... so I'll just say that no matter what software you're using - if you're only recording with one (mono) microphone, there can only be one active...
That is a pretty good vid. I think the YouTube audio adds to what makes it interesting...simply because the video was made for YouTube - so by the time the recording ended up where they intended for it to end up all along, not only do all the clips sound fine, but the only one that even sounds...
I was gonna say the opposite... I'm surprised how different the snare parts sound - there's usually not that much difference in comparisons like this. I can't hardly hear the snare rattle and stuff in the Auteur clip that I hear in the RNP one. The overhead, however, sounds almost identical...
I'd guess that's some kind of device that does more than just being a microphone. Like some kind of little flash-memory recorder or something. Either that or some type of small pzm/boundary or surface mounted mic.
I asked them on that video for you ;)
