Hi everyone,

I'm Vitaliy, joining in from Zagreb, Croatia. I've been reading threads here on and off for a while and finally decided to register and say hello.

My background is software development crossed with a long-standing interest in recording and home studios, and at some point the two collided: I build audio tools under the name Arvital Audio. The main thing I've made is a small utility for getting system audio into a DAW or straight to a WAV file, which came out of my own annoyance with aggregate devices and virtual cables.

Mostly though I'm here to learn and take part, the mixing and recording-techniques discussions especially. Looking forward to hanging around and getting to know the place.

Cheers,
Vitaliy

Hi there and welcome. Now, I know Jack S about software, old valve amp tech, so I may have the wrong idea about your utility? Do you mean that since Win 10 you could no longer record audio running in a computer such as int' radio or a YT audio track? If so, I hope you won't be too upset when I tell you that the free Audacity can do this!

Dave.

Hi Dave, thanks for the welcome, and no upset at all. You're right that Audacity records internal audio for free, and it's a great tool, I point people to it myself.

The difference isn't the recording part, it's where the audio ends up. Audacity captures to a file that you then import wherever you need it. What I built puts the audio straight where you're working: as a plug-in it drops the sound right onto a track in your DAW, live in the session, and it also installs as a virtual input device, so anything that records from a mic (Zoom, OBS, another DAW) can take system audio directly. Less "can you record it" and more "skip the export-and-reimport, get it where you actually want it."
Plus you can trigger recording at any point, in any app with just a keyboard shortcut. Or you can capture live streams into your daw for processing...

For a lot of people that convenience isn't worth paying for, and that's completely fair, Audacity's the right call.
For folks doing it constantly (sampling into a DAW, pulling call audio into a session) the one-step workflow adds up. It's found a real audience since I launched it, and it was recently covered by Production Expert and MusicRadar, so there are some outside takes out there if you're curious.

Either way, good to meet you, and I'm here more to talk shop than my own software.

Cheers,
Vitaliy

Welcome Vitaliy.
Most of my work was in embedded software, but I'm retired now.
I had a look at a review of your utility. I get it.
Good to have you here.

Thanks, Raymond, good to meet you. Embedded is its own discipline… I was there in the past as well... glad to be here.
 
Hello, all. It's been many moons since my last foray into "serious" recording and I'm feeling the bug again. Mostly, I just screw around making one mic "augmented" videos like this:

But today I ordered a pair of Warm Audio WA19 mics to record the tune above using an XY setup. We'll see how it goes.
 
whats happening Community names casey yall can call me kace or UPperkase either or.. little about me, I'm in LAFS, The Los Angeles Film School getting my assosiates degree in audio productionI am an artist who has be knowing a thing or two about writing and poetry all my life and about 3 1/2 years ago i started playing around with some words and learned that writing poetry wasnt the only thing i was good at.i am in the process or step in my journey of learning beats and placing the tempo and work the volume levels on midi also somewhat learning piano and key tone. hopin to make something sound more appealing and appreciated. rap/ freesylist country tries and some kickin it vibe type vocalist
37 and originally louisiana screw up dude out for a new livin wit a lil bit a pimpin
How yall kickin it today
 
Hi Guys, I am a vocalist, I have a small home setup with a SSL 2 interface and warm audio wa14 mic. i have acoustic sound panels in my small setup. looking to add things in my setup to make the vocals sounds better, need you suggestions on preamp or mic setup.
 
Advaet, what type of vocal work do you do? Singing, voice over, commercial announcing, podcasting? The requirements, though they might be similar, could vary based on what you are doing.

I have stayed away from going down the "preamp" path. I sometimes hear small differences in them, but changing the microphone can make 10x that difference. How you use it up and the room you're in makes a huge difference. Just remember, NO mic, preamp or room is going to change your voice from Gomer Pyle to James Earl Jones! 😜
 
I do record vocals for my song, and I completely agree on the performance part, that is something I have been working on from couple of years and i initially had a Aston origin mic(which i still have) and i got this wa 14 from market place and now i am moving to recording and releasing songs on serious level and making videos too, My producer have a Neumann 102 and I use to go to him and record vocals but TBH I like the texture of my WA 14 better on vocals and I have good quality (glass wool) acoustic panels in the home studio (its a very small room). Vocals sit very good on it now, I am seeking guidance on something better than WA 14 so that I can achieve the warm sound and texture that I am seeking as I want to record final vocals at my home studio.
 
Hello everyone! It's Maya :) I just registered on this forum, I always wanted to find a place where it's possible to discuss music producion. I do mixing and mastering for my songs and for other people. I create lyrics, melodies, and arrangements as well. My goal is continue doing what I'm doing! I have a classical music education background (had been studying in a music school from 6 to 16 y.o., the main inst as piano)

I've started learning music production in 2017-2018, back then I was working on Logic Pro X. I have been working on Cubase since 2020, right now I'm working on Cubase Pro 13 if to be more specific. I don't know if it's okay to share my own website with all music equipment that I use on here, so, just let me know and I will be happy to share the link :)

Have a wonderful day ahead!
 
Welcome to the forums, Maya.
It's fine to share links, as long as it's not post+ghost advertising.

Some people put their website in their signature so it's always there. You might want to do that?
