I recently put together a video for a friend in Arizona. The shooting was done by seven different people on 3 continents (with gear ranging from an iPhone to some really good HD cameras) so the quality can be a bit variable...and the music is definitely a different style to what most people on...

In late October, I'm going to have need of a basic effects/reverb unit to provide an effect on a live theatre show I'm doing. I can't believe I'm saying this but it doesn't have to sound good, just be cheap. Something like an Alesis Nanoverb would be ideal for example. FYI, this is me being...

...and can you mix then export a mix staying in 32 bit FP? I have a friend who's a very talented singer songwriter who mixes all her own stuff in Logic Pro. However, she contacted me saying that her last couple of mixes had got too loud and were clipping. If this happened to me in Audition...

Mac users may wish to read THIS from Native Instruments before considering an upgrade. Although this article applies specifically to Native Instruments, I've heard of similar problems with a number of DAWs with faults such as plug ins no longer working properly. You have been warned!

I'm wondering if any of you have experience of doing live video streaming of some of your performances (for money)? A friend in the USA has started doing a bit of this with moderate success using a company called "Concert Window". She's now done two live performances from her home and is...

In case anyone missed it, I had an email the other day advising the version 9.2 of Ableton Live 9 Lite is now available for download at the Ableton site. I haven't had much chance to play but their site lists changes here: https://www.ableton.com/en/help/article/live-9-release-notes/

Not exactly recording but I know some of you have to do playback in live sound situations like I do... ...and to that end I'll mention a lovely little app for the iPhone that I've discovered called "Play Fade Pause". It's dirt cheap and does about 80% of what things like Qlab and SCS do on...

UK members of the forum might be interested to know that there's an online auction later this month where the BBC is selling a ton of gear via an online auction. A quick scan through the list of gear shows a number of very nice Calrec (and other) audio mixers, tons of rack gear and a nice...

I know there are some others on here who do live sound stuff as well as home recording so I'll mention this. I just took a punt and bought a couple of THESE for use with my Sennheiser radio mic packs. They arrived yesterday and I gave them a good try out today. They're a bit toppy but it was...

A recent discussion about recording guitar in mono vs stereo made me think about this... A friend over on the Audition forums recently suggested a VST plug in called "SHEPPI" to me. Basically it adds fake stereo spatial information to a mono signal--and does a darn good job of it from what I...

For many years I've said (mainly jokingly) how much I'd have loved to work on a Pink Floyd tour. Now I'm not so sure! Here's an intercom recording from their 1973 American tour of their Dark Side of the Moon show. For union reasons, they had to use a lot of local technicians rather than...

Allen and Heath have just announced the QU 16, a digital equivalent/replacement for the venerable Mix Wizard. The UK list price is £1699--don't know what the US price is. This makes it more than the x32 for half the inputs. Will the sexy looks and A&H name be enough to sell in view of the...

For NAB, Adobe are giving previews of the next versions of all the Creative Suite products, including Audition. Durin Gleaves (from the development team) has also posted a list of what's new in the Audition user forums HERE. There's some very interesting sounding stuff, at least for me since I...

I seem to recall a discussion recently about archiving your hard work, with the disadvantages of HDDs, CDs, DVDs, etc. all being pointed out. So, here's a new idea for you: use DNA!

One of the most common questions posted on the Home Recording Forums is "Should I buy a USB microphone?". As with so many things, the only honest answer is "Maybe, but it depends". The attractions of USB mics can normally be summed up with two statements: 1. They're cheaper than buying a...

Have a look at this...it is a great truth!

Oh, I wish I was still in the UK despite the rain! I just noticed a banner on the DV24/7 page that they're selling the sE G3500 for £329. This is a mic that I've long coveted. I had a chance to try it on the distributor's 7 day free trial deal and I really, really wanted it--but couldn't...

Adobe have just posted in their user forums that Creative Suite 6 (including the new version of Audition) will be formally announced at NAB next week. They've also posted this list of highlights and features: Audition CS6 Highlights: Real-time and rendered clip stretching in multi-track -...

Over on the Adobe U2U forums, one of the Audition developers posted a link to a sneak preview of a new version of AA (CS6). You can watch it HERE. I think I've spotted the return of things like Metronome and CD burning by looking at the menus they show....looking forward to more details!
