    AI Vocals - I have to say I'm really impressed.

    The AI voice generation is very impressive, and having a tool like that would be ver handy. However, it is also a bit sad that we are losing humans in this process

    Mics For Sax

    Some years ago I recorded a jazz quintet, and in a moment of rashness I put a $50 Behringer C2 on the sax, and was surpised at what came out. https://app.box.com/s/dagd1fjnlz4hpygk4p896uqer3107fw3

    I've been struggling with mouth noises and wondering if there's a solution...?

    Try drinking water before you sing. Trying sing a little bit further away from the mike. Try singing slightly to one side of the mike.

    Syncing tracks

    I often have to match audio from different devices, most usually audio on a video track and audio recorded separately on a laptop. I load both into Reaper, and most of the time they line up just fine. However, if there is a bit of drift, it is easy to stretch one or the other to get them to line...

    I forgot to dither 24bit -> 16 bit. Does it matter?

    Starting thought process of what is needed

    Your basic idea is fine. Mount a green screen, then take four or five videos of you in different spots. Most video editors can deal with overlaid green screen takes. I use Vegas Movie Studio for this kind of thing. (It's not called Vegas now, but I can never remember the new name. I've just...

    Thoughts on this one ?

    Texturally and dynamicallyit is a wonderful. Melodically not so much. There us a melody line in there, but the staccato strings overwhelm it. It would be interesting to hear it with the melody given more prominence. As it stands, it is a great piece of mood music, which would work in a cinematic...

    Help about recording

    Get a male XLR to 6.5mmTRS adapter, and you could be set. I say 'could' because I don't know whether the Lewitt needs phantom power, in which case you would also need a phantom power supply.

    Original song mixing adivce!

    Some thoughts . . . Male vocal is great. Delivery is confident and engaging. Female backing is lacking in energy, but is ok. On the on or two word responses, consider using the whole phrase The song structure is just a repeated four chord sequence and instrumentation is the same the whole way...

    Are Galaxy SP 3202 stands compatible with Kali LP-8 V2?

    The Galaxy tray is 250mm x 250mm, and the Kali base is just a bit bigger than that. So, yes, the speakers will sit on top nicely. Make sure the stands are secure on a level floor and don't wobble too much.

    Inexpensive used PC OK for audio recording in 2025?

    In years gone past, I was successfully running Logic on an Olivetti 486 with a 16gb hard drive and 256mb RAM. The moral of that story is that working with audio doesn't inherently make huge demands of a PC. So you are likely to be able to do what you plan on just about anything, and, as others...

    Are you tryig to speed up already recorded audio, or speed up a midi track. If you are trying the former, just changing the tempo markers won't affect the audio.

    Mixing: how long before your ears start lying to you?

    Hearing fatigue can occur after a few hours of listening to the same thing repeatedly, and this can result in either accepting something that has problems that you are no ;onger able to hear, or being increasingly unable to be satisified with what you are hearing. But even without long hours of...

    Who still mixes with a console?

    I was so pleased to move away from hardware to software, and I am like a pig in mud mixing on the screen. Mixing on a screen suits me very well.
