Just to be clear, I don't think you're thinking of the right kind of foam, this stuff is fairly thick - looks a lot like Auralex type foam. I'm sure there's some degree of filtering.

No, the punched aluminum is the rearmost layer. The side facing the singer is some kind of felt. There's also a layer of punched plastic (polymer) toward the front. The description you quoted has it backwards.

Dunno, the pricey SE Electronics unit uses a sheet of aluminum foil as well.

What do you think of this DIY Reflexion filter design? Making A Homemade sE Electronics Reflexion Filter For $50 Part 1 of 3 - YouTube The short version is he makes 4 panels which have these layers in this order: -Stiff felt -dowel rod for air gap -aluminum foil - supposed to absorb/block low...

Working on a home-built sound booth. What's in place now is basically a room built inside a room. Sheet-rock on both sides of 2x4's with fiberglass insulation between. Access door which is constructed just like the rest of it. Air vents on opposite walls which are an inside air slot at the top...

If you know a particular mic benefits from a particular eq profile tweak, why not get it scienced out and have it done on the way in rather than have to tweak it later every time you record with that mic. Isn't this regularly done with a hardware eq? Once upon a time wasn't it common practice to...

I.e. instead of the mic going into a hardware eq, a software eq before it hits the record path in the daw.

I added the horns and harmony vocals to a CD track I had no part in producing. I also moved the tambourine to the center, they had it panned hard R.

Sample of a vocal isolated from a karaoke track by aligning with the original track and phase inverting, the goal being to tweak it and sit it back into a mix with a clean version of the same karaoke track. Re-tracking not an option. There's a little of the high end from the track left in the...

Three 37 sec samples of the same section with different treatments, 44.1 wav files about 15 megs each. Which do you prefer? Example A Example B Example C

What I'm looking for are phones that are in the "you'd have to spend a lot more to get better" category for headphone checking a mix and for tracking. If there are different models you'd recommend for each that's okay. Thanks.

I appreciate the attempt, there's still a lot of resonance for example at around 345 Hz. The attached file is more along the lines of what I'm shooting for. The file shows a transition from the original to a tweaked version. There's more going on of course than just eq fiddling.

I've always been under the impression that avoiding clipping is a basic tenet of digital audio. Looking at this mastering tutorial, if I understand what this guy is saying, he deliberately introduces a limited amount of clipping - 2:30 "I wanted to get a little bit of clipping on the A to D"...

Sample of audio from 8mm analog video that's been captured to DV avi. The only processing that's been done to the audio sample here is sample-based noise reduction. Trying to get rid of all the resonance & boominess. Haven't gotten it to my satisfaction so far. There's obvious boominess at...

I don't know if you're wasting your time. You need a lot of work. Pitch is extremely important but it's not the only important element. Support your sound. Listen to and be aware of what makes a good performance sound like a good performance. Phrasing, nuance, musicality, dynamics...

Sounds like something you could experiment with and try various shapes and sizes of objects.

In his youth Gary Puckett was one of the finest pop vocalists ever and was normally right on target with his pitch. On one of his big hits - I think it was either "Young Girl" or "Woman" he's badly flat on one of the big high notes but for whatever reason they didn't fix it.

I've always thought if I was looking for a demo singer I might hang out at a busy karaoke joint and see what kind of talent shows up. Most have more enthusiasm than talent but once in a while you hear someone really good.

Not mine per se, but this was the first version of this song I heard. It's by one of my favorite unknown karaoke singers and thought she did a superb job. My contribution is tweaking the audio to try to compensate for the bad mic she was using. She did the harmonies strictly seat of the pants by...
