    How many of you use pitch correction for your own vocals?

    Wow seems like few use it but everyone buys it. I use Antares or Waves Tune to just kind of even things out a bit. Some notes start out fine but us old guys can't quite hold the pitch like we used to. The auto tune ind of brings things back to where they should be.

    Any one here use the Waves Abbey Road Plate reverb plugins? I'm thinking about buying them while they are on sale.

    New set up driving me crazy

    Not sure how to post audio file on here. I have another question for The IT experts. I'm now trying to figure out if I have a hardware [Bad motherboard etc] problem or if it is windows 10, So my question is if I render a 24 bit 44.1k stereo file from the time line of either Reaper or Vegas Edit...

    New set up driving me crazy

    Yes but I double checked everything again, even hooked my old monitors up to the new system last night for apples to apples test. The distortion is there, no doubt about it and I'm at my wits end, I've tried everything obvious, easy and even have gotten into the moderately difficult. I really...

    New set up driving me crazy

    Originally I thought I had distortion on store bought cd's and a Pro mp3 but when I rechecked it yesterday I thought maybe not so much. These new monitors are much brighter than my old ones so my point of reference is off. {Compared to what I am used to} I am going to test this again on Friday...

    New set up driving me crazy

    Not sure But I may be making some headway. After some deep thought and trying about every obvious thing I and others could think of I remembered that I burned a cd to make sure the drive in the new computer worked and the distortion also rendered and burned to the cd. Played it on another system...

    New set up driving me crazy

    I could be barking up the wrong tree but I really feel like this is a software glitch.

    New set up driving me crazy

    I could try that but my thought was since bot the onboard audio and PCI audio had the problem it may not make a difference. Also I used a 4x express slot, I only have a 8x slot left can I put it in there?

    New set up driving me crazy

    Started removing useless [to me] and not necessary programs today. Things like Netflix, Skype Power music, Cyberlink, I even removed the Realtek Driver for the onboard audio. No luck yet has not solved my distortion issue. I'm finding some of the things I would like to dump are part of a bundle...

    New set up driving me crazy

    I ran a system/ hardware scan through Dell's website and all hardware checked out. I've checked all the easy most likely stuff, I hooked the new Monitors up to my Tascam 2488 and listened to store bought cd's while I was screwing with the other one. The Monitors seem to be fine. Give you a lot...

    New set up driving me crazy

    Thanks so much, all of your replies are helpful and helping me narrow this down [I hope} , I am stressing big time, this is my hobby not my job, I have limited time to spend on this but have to get it right or there is no point. Unfortunately the "Sweet Spot" for most of us in recording and...

    Another thing, I have to be careful because this type situation can eat tweeters/ high frequency drivers real quick!!

    New set up driving me crazy

    I'm old enough that I cut my teeth in the analog world with tape machines, 2 rules of thumb, do not overdrive anything unintentionally and you can Y all of the outputs you want but never Y an input. This sounds like something is being overdriven [turned up too high] or like 2 inputs are Y'ed...

    New set up driving me crazy

    Thanks I will look when I get home, I also found some diagnostics that can be run from Dells website, maybe something will show up there. What do I have to lose, Funny this machine boasts "Award Winning Audio" !! That is a good one!!! I did some searching and some people have had audio problems...

    New set up driving me crazy

    Update, I ran windows trouble shooting scan for sport, it found some windows media player settings needed correcting so I let it do that but did not let it re-enable the on board sound card as I tried that already to no avail. Not sure what that would have to do with anything but I figured it...

    Waves Tune with Reaper

    I have burned to disc, no, waves tune, I have rendered to a new track , no waves tune, There is no video this is just an audio recording. The format is whatever they use for redbook cd, 16 bit 44.1k, and the track renders are what ever my Edit pro defaults are for that process everything else is...

    Waves Tune with Reaper

    Thanks and I will be the first to admit I am not the brightest bulb in the box, With Edit Pro 14 waves tune monitors perfectly, corrects pitch and what you hear out of the monitors is great. While playing I get an error message in the scanning part of Waves Tune at the top that says Rewire link...

    Waves Tune with Reaper

    I think I've made up my mind I'm going to at least try Reaper. Can't hurt. I love the Vegas work flow too, but my work is almost entirely Audio. I also started out on Vegas 5 or 6, Have 8.0 on my old machine with all the plugins but needed to upgrade one last time before I'm too old. I figure...
