This is perhaps a side topic, but high sample rates often have limitations that come into play when you invoke oversampling in a quest to achieve optimum audio quality. This is especially true when we gain DAW-based options (such as those now offered in Reaper) to specifically oversample existing ...

What you need is a batch processor, that you set up with the required changes, then load in all your input files, press Run, and then all the modified files get deivered to your chosen destination folder. I've personally used Steinberg's Wavelab for this for many years now, but I'm sure there are ...

This does sound encouraging, although I do have significantly more sensitive data on my Pc after 10 years, so I’d be a bit averse to letting any outsiders take control of it to install Windows 10. I’ll have a think about how much effort it would take to ‘anonymise’ it ;) Still, let’s see how you get ...

I have actually managed to get my 6 core 3.5g AMD running pretty well, legal now. I want to upgrade it to W10 but days of trying have come to naught. It seems Microsoft just want you to go and buy a new W11 machine and make it virtually impossible to download and install ten...and I don't want free ...

Hi Paul! Well I've just managed to download this successfully (and got a serial number). However, I get 'there was an error while installing this application' when running the required inMusic Software Center (this is perhaps because I'm still running Windows 7 and system requirements state Windows ...

The first thing I do in a new car is set the EQ flat - and it remains that way... ...until I find the woofers are so small that the bass needs turning up a little bit to be heard, while the tweeters lose the hihats due to engine noise, so I turn the treble up a little as well, to taste, for a more ...

They can't clip inside your DAW, but I just add a volume trim plug-in immediately after any softsynth, and tweak its setting for the particular patch I'm using (this is typically somewhere between -6dB and -20dB depending on the sound) so that its level feeding subsequent plug-in effects is at ...

Welcome back Wonks!

Yes, it was Max (studio gnome) who extolled the virtues of Lindy USB cables - a worthy recommendation!

You can safely use USB cables up to 5 metres long (USB 2.0) and 3 metres (for USB 3.0/3.1) There have been some dodgy cheap cables about over the years, but most bought from a reputable outlet ought to be OK up to these lengths. If you want anything longer then an inline active USB Extender device ...

Hi james! I suspect you'll find it more beneficial long term to use a tool like MetricAB: https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/adptr_metricab.html https://tareasvirtual.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/PA_ADPTR_Audio_MetricAB-Carousel-01.jpg This lets you quickly perform A/B comparisons of your ...

Very nicely and smoothly done in 7/8 Jay - bravo!

Ooh, that drummer IS good, on those intro fills in particular.
Will listen to the rest in due course

I’ve sent off for this small selection: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07YYMT65T/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1TIGMJ4AZ1K1A&psc=1 …based on a recommendation of a Tinysa user, so hoping will be battle tested. Six attenuators accurate to 0.1dB up to 3GHz for £38.71 - that's around £6 each. So why do ...

Oh reely?

Glad this was resolved so easily MFG, although I must admit I misread the thread title as Gear of the Year link baguette

I suspected you were going to indulge in some roll play

I particularly enjoyed his comments about using the minimum number of mics and spending some time fine tuning them, rather than chucking up a dozen and hoping to mash something out of them all later! Me too! "I think it can be dangerous to have too many microphones. Go in with something simple and ...

Bravo Ben - listening right now on your bandcamp page.

And for those like me who were totally in the dark about shufflebeat's thread, here's what I found with an online search:

Tiny SA ULTRA Spectrum Analyser 50khz to 5.97Ghz

Nicely evocative cover artwork there Ben!

You'll have to get electricity down there first...

Are you winding me up?

Ah, actually that might be a solution to the problem - a hand crank generator!

Indeed they do - shame there aren't any in my part of the world

This thread brings back memories from my schooldays - I'd patiently built my own electric guitar with help from a schoolteacher and the facilities of the woodworking classroom, and the parts cost me £17. Then a schoolfriend told me he'd have sold me his Watkins Rapier 44 (complete with FOUR pickups) ...
