There's a great graphic 'out there' somewhere of a Beatles track waveform as originally released, then re released a couple of times every decade or so - and each time becoming more brick like. Has anyone got an audio file of the original version of Billie Jean? It's my understanding that a 'good ...

I thought that the loudeness war was over :roll: ? Ive load im my audio editor some wav files from Sleep Token and Lana del Ray and in certain places the wav is like a brick !

What period?

Nothing is being said. It's just a hallucination.

Hope you're doing okay today.

We have big ATC SCM100s at the main studio, and they are indeed great. However, at home I have Neumann KH150, and to be honest I don't feel I'm missing out that much... I'm certainly not quite hearing the £13k difference! I might feel different if I compared them side by side in the same room, but ...

Ha Ha! that's like saying a McLaren 750 is just "OK" :) Ha indeed! NS10s, ATCs and an Avantone / Auratone are the ones I run into most frequently and like. I very seldom see PMC monitors & have never been in a room with KH monitors. Sometimes run into Amphion in pop / rock studios + Barefoot ...

NS-10MX + amp Should come in on budget. And is about as far away from being an accurate monitor as you can get. I suppose it really depends on how one defines accurate. I don't reckon it can be beaten at this price point. OP might be interested in: https://dt7v1i9vyp3mf.cloudfront.net/assetlibrary ...

Should come in on budget.

What about your Eventide 2016. Surely this is a magnificent room machine?

An old employer had both a PCM91 & PCM90 and used them over many films and high budget TV dramas. Excellent machines.

I’m wondering what does he use it for. I cannot think of anything the Digico consoles can’t do apart from running Antares Auto-Tune, and I’m thinking he’s using it for the strings. Can I get your guys’ opinions on this? Absolutely not. The string players who get this gig do not need Auto-Tune! Wonks ...

Will look forward to hearing the results. Link us through to your creation when it's time

Thank you. Those both look like perfect suggestions.

I will report back in three months or so to let other know how I got on with the FR-AV2 or F3.

Which recorder would you buy for this scenario: Recording spoken word. Signal chain will be a CAD M179 microphone into a Cranborne Audio Camden EC1 preamp into the recorder. Can be mains powered or battery powered. Price point under GBP 360. Are the analogue to digital convertors superior in any ...

2. Now version 9 plugins such as their Gold bundle, IR1, and the Electric 88, have an inexplicable unreliability. Crashing the host (Reaper), causing the host to become non responsive requiring a "kill" in Task Manager, with a need to restart of the host. This time I am wary about paying them any ...

I'm a bit late to reply to this thread, however I think Donal Whelan of Hafod Mastering is excellent:

I gave their Novachord a demo whirl. Though much preferred Soniccouture's samples over Cherry Audio's modelling. That said, I've heard good things about their other offerings from friends, and would like to add another plugin synth to my tools. At the moment I only use NI Absynth 5 & FM8 ...

As I'm only removing very short sections of a few mS, there's no way it will sound swirly. Spleeter (as used in most versions of RX) nulls completely with the original when all the tracks are re-combined. Demucs doesn't always quite null completely but, by manually creating the "other" track, you ...

After looking at a gazillion videos on which sub £300 digital weighted keys piano with midi is the best , I have sort of settled on the P-45 Have you looked into the older ranges of second hand Yamaha Clavinova (digital pianos) in your area? These are very well built, therefore reliable second hand ...

The classic wind library that is used in film post-production is called Blow Tools (by Sonic Boom). It's 12.7 GB @ 24/48 of windy sounds!

Yes. Also for Eventide plugs.

I'm very happy with SoundToys 5.
