Yep, 9 of them. I couldn't believe it.
I had the system custom built, primarily for video editing, so it's not like it was MY idea for all those f&*$%ng fans!
If I had known they were going to "gold-plate" the system, I would have asked for some quiet fans! It sounds like a vacuum cleaner when...
It must have been the way I did the background vox, cause when I removed those tracks... it played without a hitch.
I added three additional tracks of each of the background vox... and I think the program and computer were having a hard time with pulling a total of 8 tracks out of two sound...
I think my problem would come from the fact that my tower has a total of 9 fans. By the time I built a box to handle the heat... I would be dealing with the issue of at least four fans on the box...
I'm leaning towards an air conditioned closet...
The final mixdown is where any final compression is applied.
Individual tracks should be compressed as needed, keeping in mind that a certain amount of "overall compression" will be applied later.
You might also apply a limiter at the final phase, which would help to keep any unwanted spikes...
I need to look into that, as well, dobro.
I have plenty of hardware... but the tracks I mixed in the Chris Harris "Juliet" challenge are stuttering, too.
With twin Xeons, a gig of ddr ram, three hard drives.... I don't know why it's stuttering.:mad:
I thought of building something like this, but most of my research revealed that I should not... at least, yet.
How well does it work?
Have you taken temp readings?
It's too early on Sunday morning for me to address this issue properly.... I haven't even had my first cup of coffee, yet.
But a quick search on this bbs will turn up a wealth of knowledge from many others regarding compression. If you compress properly, you will narrow the gap between loud...
It can be done either with software or outboard gear.
I am not familiar with your software, but a search in the Help section of your software using the search term "compressor" will let you know if your software has that capability.
It sounds to me like you have a problem with dynamics.
Most instruments... and vocals, in particular... have a dynamic range that can be low, or soft... all the way up to high and loud.
Your meters are showing you the peak program material... which is very important in digital recording, as to...
You might be confusing intonation with tuning.
To set the intonation, the guitar should be in tune, first.... then you set the intonation using a strobe.
Are you tuning using harmonics? If not, you should... if you're using distortion.
Take it to a guitar tech and let him set it up for you.
