Mark, Recently, I was looking for a large display LUFS/RMS meter and found the YouLean meter. I am using it with Reaper, so cannot tell you if it will work in Sonar. It is meeting my needs, and appears to be as accurate as the Schwa plug-in, in Reaper. I really like the large display better...

My question is- what have been the results of your experiments? I found this article interesting, with some useful information and things to consider. However, it is only one writer's opinion: Miking Your Acoustic Guitar Like a Pro | Ledger Note Dale

Did he say "infinity" or "unity?" Dale

Rose, If you have "extended" the two monitors to report as 1 & 2, what you have done, essentially, is created a monitor that is double the screen width. Open the tracks and drag (click/hold tool bar at top of tracks window) them to the right... It should slide onto Monitor 2. Then, open the...

I've been seeing some love for the Aputure Deity. At $350'ish, I am tempted. I use an RE20 mostly, and occasionally my 7B, have an AT4033 and CADe100s when I want some condensor time. I have always wanted to try out the 416, but cannot justify it without some dramatic differences in what I...

I will let others offer suggestions for the gear. What I have to offer is what you have already deduced. You need a quiet environment to capture a quiet recording. Every mic is just a highly effective "dumb ear." It records everything that it hears. You will need to address your recording...

To avoid confusing the OP discussion about recording levels, I failed to mention that my screenies were captured from playback of mastered or compressed signals, not raw recorded input levels. Like the advice given, I too target -18 to -12dB recorded input levels. Then, I use my ears and process...

I recalibrated my Master meter Offset to "0 = -18". It has been many years, so I do not remember the Reaper default. Right click your Master meter to access the config. Mack Caster: Now, I am wondering if this change affects the plug-in readings. Dale This screenie is from another VO...

I do not have any experience with this line of mics. I shared the link, with the reviews, because you said you wanted to know something about them. Dale

Don, Are these the mics? Violet Design Ltd. Microphones | RecordingHacks.com Dale

I totally agree Steen. I went back, re-read the thread and found that he never said if he tried it without the 286, as twice suggested. Eliminate the biggest potential culprit, first. Dale

Listening to your 1,2,3,4 recording, it sounds like a gain staging issue. I am not sure if that's the gate causing it, or too much gain. Just thinking out loud about some areas that you may have overlooked: You are TRS to TRS, line out from the DBX to channel 2 on the solo, with "Line" toggled...

Had mine since 2014. No issues other than the shock mount bands. Like Jeffery, used for VO only and treated like a newborn. Dale

CC, Once you have run your new 628 through its paces, let me know how it does. I have a couple of the 528E that I use the Cloudlifter to open up my RE20 and SM7B, since the 528E only hits 60dB gain. If that beast can push those mics, I may be hunting one. I looked through my manual and see that...

CC, I noticed the OP posted over in another forum and is getting feedback on his square design. He may not be back since he has many interacting with him over there. But I do like your chain suggestions. That's my exact rig... You been in my booth snooping around again? :p Dale

Hydrate, It is obvious that you have done a lot of research and planning. Do you have a solid floor to put this on? The booth(s) is going to be heavy. Dale

Herc, Once you get your post-count up (ten I think) come back and post the pics you said you took. It will be easier to help you. But you may want to try the Mic Thread. D

Much like DM's solution, I use the Mighty Bright HammerHead LED Music Light Black | Guitar Center on my copy stand, and have a cheapie, 40w LED...

Fading, Like you, I have read many threads about the QC issues when e100s became to mic-to-buy for VO, and they were rushing to fill orders. In my research, it seemed the pre-popular ones were less prone to, but eventually did, have noise problems. Warranty fixes were bad caps, to complete PCB...
