With the advent of AI based processing tools I was wondering if anyone knows of a relatively 'inexpensive' app (ie. not Izotope) that deals with extreme distortion? I'm not talking about simple clipping distortion. I'm talking about a live recording where the levels were set so high that the...

Weird question (whose answer I probably already know) but here goes. I have an old Arboretum Systems install disc - Release R4.6 - that I came across when I was cleaning out stuff. It has everything they had available at the time (2000). I was using Ray Gun1/2 which worked great until I upgraded...

I use AA3 every day in my work - radio station production. Recently we had a weather system go through in which we lost power. I shut down one of our two production PCs that was on UPS (studio), the other one (the one I use more - Production) was not on a UPS so did not get to shut down...

Was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I use AA 1.5 at the radio station I work for. When I tag a program, mix down and then time stretch at "high precision" the audio will have portions where the audio is "damaged". I'm squeezing the length less than a percent most times to as much...

This kind of a long shot, but was wondering if anyone has any experience with the ASI 6122 audio card - specifically setting it up to record with the ASI Mixer app? Here's the situation: I work for a radio station, but my experience is in studio recording and live sound. The broadcast world is...

I've searched here and elsewhere and have read conflicting information. A friend asked me to do up a cable for him and I wanted to double check my memory to reassure myself I have it right. The cable is connecting a headphone out of a piece of gear to a mono input of a mixer. He wants both the...

Wanted to let anyone interested know I am selling my well cared for Fostex VF 16 and an Iomega Zip drive (with 11 carts) on ebay right now. I can answer any questions there - or here if you have questions. Thanks...

Are these guys gone to software heaven? I'm a registered user of their Ray Gun software and was wanting to contact them with upgrade questions and related stuff. The web site comes up with a page not found error. The toll free number on the software install disc I have connects to a live phone...

I know Fostex had some models - are there any other manufacturers that produced these decks? Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

This seems obvious, but I'd like some input anyway. Can a passive direct box be used in reverse? i.e. plugging one in "backwards" to convert a low impedance signal to high impedance. The possible use which prompts my question is using a piece of +4 balanced gear between an instrument and it's...

My son has been using my Dual Showman and it quit on him recently. The fuse blew and I figured it was in the voltage regulation end of things since it happened to me back in '75. Got the diodes replaced but I cannot find a 2.5 amp slo-blo 125V fuse locally. I thought I had some here at home, but...

I am working on some prerecorded tracks with the intention of transferring them to disc. To help some of the balance issues I put the compressor across the master fader. I arrived at a good point where I was pulling around 2 - 3 dB which improved the overall sound of the mix. I adjusted the...

I recently did some research here for pickup info. My son bought a Epiphone G310 SG and the bridge pickup lost considerable level. I found what I needed to know here on checking it to find the cause. His turns out to be a shorted pickup - very low impedance when checked. One thing I did not come...

Thought I'd point anyone interested to a couple of tunes I did on my VF16 about 4 years ago. They are 2 song parodies done entirely on my VF16 without any regard to small problems like my own off key singing in places. They are at http://www.soundlift.com/juanfernandes The titles in question...

Thought you folks might get a giggle out of 2 tunes I put up a few years ago. I did them up on my Fostex VF16 just for fun. The titles are Feliz Navidad Parody and Bomb Saddam. Got some airplay on a local station on the Christmas oriented one - even requests to my surprise. here's the link...

Anybody know what the main differences between mics that appeaer similar from the same manufacturer are? The ones that come to mind are the PL 20 and RE 20 that EV makes. I'm assuming quality of electronics, but wondered if there is more to it than that. Thanks in advance for any insight.

I already checked out Dragon's explanation of normalization and as it says under my id I'm a bonehead, but what is the difference between normalization and just adjusting the gain? I use ProTools Free (it is affordable and works for what I do) which has both options. I can specify the max level...

I have a 2340 R I recently purchased from an individual on ebay. It was an as-is sale so I can't complain too much about the deck. Question 1: Track 3 has no sound output. I get needle bump powering up and down on all VUs. I get an increase/decrease of hiss from 3 when adjusting the output...

I've got some old quad 8-track tapes I want to turn into dvd-audio discs so I can still enjoy/listen to them in an easy fashion. The main problem being the reliability of the the deck I have being able to play the tapes. I figured if I could find a rtr deck that could do 8 tracks I would be able...
