Re: Discussion: Music Studio Architecture (Building from the ground)

In my opinion you need to consider these factors first. First is sound isolation. Do you need to prevent sound inside from getting outside? Do you need to prevent sound from outside getting inside. Second the sound inside the room. Size and shape are usually the gating items here. After you decide o...

Probably waiting until 11 is certified working with Mac Catalina. I understand once I switch to Catalina 10 will no longer work. Other than that I don’t see enough difference to my workflow to make the jump.

Re: Any Phase Cancellation optimizer RE or VST?

Just sharing my experience as it is a bit different. What I found was way back in the early MIDI (24 ticks) days was by moving the kick and bass off the exact timing both instruments had more low end which I attribute to some phase cancellations. However for me it worked best to put the bass directl...

Re: Any Phase Cancellation optimizer RE or VST?

Well you can do that to a point. But that’s probably done best by ear because it involves your definition of best tone. And that may not be the same as maximum level. And you may not know this, but every time you adjust EQ you are shifting phase somewhere across the frequency band. So phase shift it...

Re: Any Phase Cancellation optimizer RE or VST?

I think you are assuming that phase shift is constant, but it almost never is. So the question becomes match phase to what?

Markers at the very least which seems very easy to implement.
To me it is unbelievable that markers are still missing. They should have been added back with Record. Is there another DAW in the world that doesn’t have them ?

MIDI drum replacement-tips needed

I have a recorded track of a live show with an isolated kick. Unfortunately during the show the drumhead comes in contact with the mic resulting in a horrible flap. So I tried converting the track to MIDI using Reason’s convert feature. Still have pretty unusable results. So I used a limiter to try ...

Remove low velocity MIDI notes from conversion???

After importing .wav file from a live show recording I’m finding the kick drum has a lot of clipping. So I’m thinking replacing it with MIDI. After converting the track I’m noticing a lot of low level ghost notes. So my question... is there a way to grab and delete all midi notes below a certain vel...

I would love to have reason be like ProTools and iv'e said that before there is many things PT does extremely well but Reason is about 12 versions behind it to even coming close to being like it.

Re: What if I can't get good speaker placement?

This is true. But this is easily fixed with EQ. OTOH you cannot bring back the nulls from phase cancellation with an equalizer. It should not be fixed with EQ on your master chain though it should only be fixed with an external or room EQ in between your sound-card output and speakers. Well of cour...

The opposite is true speakers up against walls create a proximity effect which boosts low frequencies.

Re: What if I can't get good speaker placement?

Likely your biggest problem will be caused by small room dimensions (but you didn't say what they were). Other things are reasonably easy to fix. Speakers up against walls are usually way better than those a few feet out. It's all about 1/4wave distances. Cheapest fix, open a door or window and have...

As he points out, the reason for gain structure is to eliminate clipping while delivering the lowest possible noise floor. Is anyone actually hearing clipping or hiss (not SEEING it on the meters)?
