    New Computer Build (PC)

    My first computer was dell. It was a bloated bastard full of dell nonsense. crashing right and left, so I returned it and built my own.... that was 13 years ago. That's the computer I am writing on right now. I learned that the DIY route, while tedious in component choices, is extremely...

    I hate reverb.

    Just so long as the odor does NOT get through the filters and speakers, no one should have any problems with your fart music. But really, you want to be more creative than just reverb. For example, perhaps experiment with an echo/delay pedal or a univibe or a fuzz pedal. That's it! Get artsy...

    Need help

    Do you have to "teach" this thing? I tried a freeware once and it didn't work out. Oh see the cat! Does the mouse see the cat? Yes! The dirty rat! - Moe Now, you see, there was a time when people made money dictating, transcribing, stenography, etc as a secretary or a court reporter...

    New Computer Build (PC)

    Oh for crying out loud. You need a fast system to run a bare bones Windows install. It seems the wizards of Microsofty think I need everything running in the background. Bloated Broad! :cursing: What part of simple don't I understand????? :facepalm: Maybe I should come back another time.

    A simple soundcard!

    Well, the thing is when you do a search and you're looking for a "Soundcard" and the comeback is an "audio interface" it gets confusing. You see, I have a sound card with ADAC capability already. Whenever talk about "Soundcard" I am thinking of PCI or PCIe variety of cards that mount inside a...

    If you can't afford a U87 what's the next best thing???

    I bet if someone had 100 of each model Neumann U47, U67, and U87, and AKG C414, ELA M 250, RCA type 44 BX and Type 77 in all their variants, EV RE20 in their mic locker, and there was one microphone that cost only $10.00 but delivered the exact sound they needed... I think... suddenly a million...

    At what point do you start (or stop) making the band sound better than they are?

    Excuse me but was that copyrighted? Both are pretty good words of advice. It probably takes experience to know when to say when. I don't know but it seems like an aweful lot of what is being made today pales by yesterday's standards. The new music is hard for me to get into. I find myself...

    I'd like to dedicate this song to all those who've got the reverb blues.

    New Computer Build (PC)

    Alright, I am launching a new thread on the subject of building a new computer. Ten years I go I was pretty savvy on the subject and would know what hardware to choose for my application. In fact, my system was so advanced in 1999, it's STILL pulling it's own load to this day. However, I...

    Do you really buy that expensive recording software?

    I've bought my software. But what really pisses me off is when they upgrade and demand you must upgrade with them. That's like forcing you to keep up to date all the time. Do I need to update? My computer that I am writing this text on, right now, is 13 years old! YES, my computer, if it were...

    A simple soundcard!

    Umm, this is NOT a soundcard. It's an "Audio Interface". A "soundcard" is typically installed into a PCI or PCIe slot in a PC.

    What DAW do you use?

    I fall under the "Other" catagory. I use Magix Music Studio 2005 Deluxe. I love the giggles it gives me. But............. I am going to have to upgrade because my system is 13 years old and I am clueless as to how much longer it will last. It seems that the internet is finally starting to be too...

    Mic Pre, Compressors, EQ Question

    umm, for what it's worth, I think we hear by means of a "neuro-electro-mechanical-acoustic" process. The absolute closest analogy that I can think of is the piezo type guitar pickup or a vinyl turntable cartridge. Both devices sense vibration (mechancal). These physical vibrations are the...

    All-around studio headphones.

    The way I understand it, you want headphones that have as flat a frequency response curve as possible. Also, you might want to go take a hearing test. You'll see what your ear's hearing frequency response curve profile looks like. IF your ears dip in a certain spot, and you don't know it, you...

    Mic Pre, Compressors, EQ Question

    I look at the sample rate as being similar to video resolution, better yet... video refresh rate. I think it is only logical to conclude that the faster the sample rate, the smaller the digital steps and thus less loss of audio. I don't know but if your screen has a higher resolution, the image...

    Mic Pre, Compressors, EQ Question

    Yes, tape rules. Grew up on tape and vinyl, myself. But, that seems to be more true back in the day when CDs first came out. You have a lot pros saying that Digital has come of age. Also, good tape for a good price is getting harder to find. At the end of the era of analog tape, it's likely to...
