Actually, that is a synth being played during that part. I'm interested in having a single note sung by a person held that long. The effect I'm looking for is used in Massive Attack's "Butterfly Caught" if anyone is familiar with that. Thanks for the responses, everyone.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows the technique involved in taking a a vocal part and extending it so that it appears the vocalist is holding a single note forever. Is it done with a very short crossfade or by other means? I messed around with a vocal part by cutting a section out of...

What do you mean by "masterunit?" You can access the mixer channel strip for the mains in the main mixer window. The master effects rack and master setup windows can be found in the Devices menu, I believe.

Are you sure? It works for me.

I posted a rough diagram of my room with dimensions on the other thread: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=121864 I used 2" OC 703 panels (2 x 4 feet). The southeast corner has two panels at a right angle to accommodate the door (this is shown in the Realtraps demo video). The...

The point is, I have read all Ethan's articles and have already added fiberglass panels around the room, and I'm still noticing this effect quite obviously. :(

Yes, they could be. My helper (the one with all the handyman knowledge) has left the city so I'm going to stick with what I have for now, I think. :)

The bass response from my monitors (Tapco S8's) is MUCH louder when I move away from the center of the room where the mixing position is. This means that when I have the volume cranked until the bass sounds decent while I'm sitting in my chair, my neighbors are being blasted with huge...

Tonio- I'm using a R0DE NT1-A condenser mic. I probably won't be able to relocate the desk onto the short wall. But out of curiosity, why is that better? Would it be a problem or not to have the glass door directly behind the monitors? Tex- Thanks a lot. Should I space them all as much as...

Oh, another quick question (probably for Ethan): I am cutting spacers out of cardboard tube for the panels that are flat on the walls. I was doing 1" spacers. Would 2" be better? What size would maximize the low frequency absorption? Again, the panels are 2" 703. Thanks!

Tonio, How'd you change the high abosrbers to mids? And short wall do you mean? One side has the sliding glass door and the other side has the hallway to the closets and the bathroom so I can't block it. I have rearranged things slightly since I posted the original graphic, but the studio...

Check my thread on placing panels, I gave you a few hints. :)

Ethan, The mic was in the same position for both tests (within a few inches since I had to move it out of the room while we set up the panels.) There's not much I can do about the mic itself, no more money for another mic at this point. From my first impression, the bass actually sounded...

The one I used for that graph is the spectrum analyzer built into Cubase SX. I just found a free plugin that does realtime spectrum analysis, though: Elemental Audio's Inspector. The PAZ by Waves will do the same job but even better, and you get a 14 day fully functional trial when you install it.

Yes, I did record at the mix position. The only mics I have are the R0DE NT1-A condenser and the Shure Beta 58A, neither of which have polar pattern controls. So between the two of them, I figured the condenser would pick up the best sound.

The panels are currently all 2" 703. I plan to change up the corner ones with 3" 705-FRK panels at some point when I have more money. Will that really make that big of a difference though, considering I saw little helpful change at all? I tested the room's response by creating an audio file...

Okay, I finished all the panels and put them up. I put one on the back of the door and three stradling the other corners of the room. Four across the north wall, three across the south wall, and one in the closet for the vocal booth. It has deadened the echoes quite a bit but the room's...

I don't need more than 8 panels of 705-FRK, so if they come in packages larger than that, maybe we can split a package or something. At the moment I don't have enough money left to do this, though. :(
