I see you are correct Geck... Even though I read Behrry... I got it in my mind the "Mackie 1202," because I have one. Dale

Aaron, Arcaxis gave you good advice, to try to get your chain as close to "mic to DAW," in the shortest route possible, using a strip. I use the older DBX 286A, and also have a Symetrix 528E that I use more often. Both of these strips provide the phantom power that you have to get from your...

Steve, I haven't installed 5.0 yet. But, can you right click, to set the offset and threshold, like previous versions? https://homerecording.com/bbs/user-forums-by-brand/don-t-fear-the-reaper/reapers-meters-343621/#post3882790 Dale

My "mix" requirements are not at all extensive. 99+% of my tracks just a mono-source, single-track, voice only. Rarely, do I have to add a backing track. Most of the time, I just deliver a dry VO track and let the AE add the rest. Typically, I am editing pauses/coughs/clicks/pops, and errors...

Ok Ash.... I just figured out that Reaper really likes to have the Hardware Outputs set, so that it knows HOW you want to HEAR the tracks. Jeeze... long day. Thanks for making me re-think the routes. Sometimes it takes just that little push of "ah - come on Dale THINK!", to get you going...

Ash, Thanks for the reply Cap'n. Yes, I want to mute the original track and the room tone track, when played back. I am undoubtedly expressing my ignorance of how the folders behave and route. Here is a screenie of how I am set up. My custom action looks to the Room Tone track, to...

To speed my workflow, I created some custom SWS commands that work great, except that I cannot find in the manual, or figure out something that is probably pretty simple. How do I keep a parent track, from muting all child tracks? I open a VO track, in track 1 (parent). My custom actions are...

Rami, I found this Show/Hide video the other day. I don't know if this solution will work for you, but I share it anyhow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYJCedHTPOI Dale

Exactly. Never tried myself. I just figured I'd file that away as "information only" and don't see myself trying that one. There are commercial products available like Entertainer's Secret or Thayer's Dry Mouth Spray that do the same thing basically. I just choose to make sure I drink plenty...

By hydrated, I am talking about your whole body. You need to maintain a good hydration rate for your tissues. You will lose your internal moisture through respiration, causing the throat, mouth, and vocal cords to dry. If you are well hydrated beforehand, you can sip, to maintain moisture in...

For mouth clicks and glottal clicks, try eating some tart green apple, like Granny Smith apples, before recording. As you said, hydration is the key. Much like an athlete, you need to hydrate well and early, before recording. Also, I have used a peppermint tea, to drink while recording. Dale

Prescott, Test drive a bunch of mics. The NT1 or NT1-A may not be the best for your voice. The NT1-A worked for me, until I wanted a different sound. However, I have heard the Michael Joly-modded 1A, and it sounds pretty sweet. I plan to send mine in for him to work his magic. I have been...

Prescott, Unless you have already spent as much money as that mic costs, on sound treatment for your recording area, you may want to consider a less expensive microphone/ interface. Definitely, GC showed you an industry-standard, top-of-the-line mic. So you now have a benchmark. However, how...

Dr. Gonzo, When I'm recording, I battle the "Poor Farm" ambiance similar to what your betrothed battles. Weekends are worst, with the neighbor's chainsaws, mowers, tractors, birds singing, and such. On sunny, Saturdays, I am in the flight path for north/south air traffic. They have much more...

Found this in an old 1997 SOS article: "The E200 uses a pair of the same back-electret capsules as the E100, and these are mounted in a similar way, on rubber cross arms between two vertical metal pillars. The capsules are arranged back-to-back, but with a space between them and a separation...

+1 MJ, +1 Boulder Reaper does everything I need. Twisted Wave gets lots of love from VO folks like George Whittam, et.al.. I can't speak pro/cons since I've never used it. Bought Reaper years ago, after TONS of research, and never looked back. Dale Follow up: found a Whittam's World Tut on EQ...

Thinking out loud, if OP just trying to capture bleedover : Would your transmitter allow a linear amplifier, like HAM operators or old CB good-buddies used? Back in the day, many 27MHz (11m) CB'ers, with illegal 1000W linears, would bleed over onto my stereo receiver and/or TV. Or You could...

Simian, Although I have never tried to Import an AIFF file into Reaper, my quick research says it will play it. You can send one to your buddy, and see if it works. I do not use Logic or GB, so I do not know if it can export to a .wav file. Another option would be to convert your AIFF files to...

I agree with Steen, good mikes, especially for long-form narration. I have both mikes as well, and prefer the RE20 on my voice, for audiobook recording. Since it stays mounted on my boom arm 90% of the time, the RE20 gets the most use in my booth. Occasionally, I'll fire up the 7B for a flavor...

USBB, I know a few VO artists who use TwistedWave for iOS ($80 I think), some with iRig, or other interfaces. However, I have never tried it. They tend to use this type of setup as a travel rig, and not for long-form audiobook narration. As you know, with the AT4040, you will need phantom power...
