Re: Using Field Recorders for Classical Concerts?

H4? Ouch. Self noise is 72dB below full scale, not even good enough for 16 bit. Headphone output is under powered. The mics themselves sound nice though.

Re: Using Field Recorders for Classical Concerts?

How are you recording when using a desk? Do you mixdown several mics to stereo for the Scarlett? The main problem with the H5 as you plan to use it is you cannot monitor it. As you probably know, mic positioning is everything on these gigs. It's how you balance the sound. It will be impossible to te...

Re: Can you suggest a set up for a "live" studio 5 piece acoustic recording

I agree with Sam- a single mic, and likely a dynamic too, on bongos. I have used a 58 on kick drum in the past when we were stuck. It will take eq and sound ok. D12 is better (when they're not broken). D112, if you must. You could DI the guitars and use an IR in the mix to put the body on it https:/...

Re: Non-plugin room and headphone correction for Mac

Seconded, Sonarworks is the solution you seek. Working for me on an Intel Mac, the bug does exist but it is user fixable. The fix worked for me. https://soundid-reference.support.sonarworks.com/hc/en-us/articles/12664307723154--CoreAudio-driver-went-missing-error-MAC- Or if you're using Reaper or Cu...

Re: Home Recording Yamaha C3X Grand

I have a 'Mirizio Microphone Mount' so I keep my mics in place permanently for easy recording without fuss (I just rotate them after the lid goes up)! https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/pianomount-mirizio-microphone-mount https://pianomount.com/ Very nice. Mine is a CP80 so it’s even easier than ...

Re: Home Recording Yamaha C3X Grand

I had not noticed the moving arpeggio until it was pointed out. I listened to a few contemporary film soundtrack piano things, and they all have the cinematic tone you have but not the panning of the arpeggio. It's an interesting effect, I'm not sure if it's bad or good. With the reverb you have got...

Re: Home Recording Yamaha C3X Grand

That sounds very nice to me. Great work!! Lovely playing, musical dynamics. The timbre sounds like a Yamaha. That's what they do. It's often referred to as "bright" which is a reasonable estimation of the tone but it's more complex than that. I would think you are comparing to recordings o...

Re: Which open back headphones for mixing/mastering, coming from DT 770 pro 250 ohms

Following on from what Wonks said, while it is true that frequency response is not the only thing to consider, unfortunately I've not seen transient response of many headphones. There's also distortion v frequency to consider. Sonarworks blog is about the most neutral and measured set of reviews you...

Re: Arturia V Collection deactivated

This has happened to me twice in about 7 years. Just use one of your other activations and open a support ticket, they'll get it sorted.

Re: Going all analog synths suggestions

A bunch of affordable synths will not do what you're asking, which I think is smoothen the creative process right? As safeandsoundmastering said, you can do that already. But I think you would enjoy one really good synth. Here are a few that fit your budget: Sequential Prophet 10 module B stock from...

Re: Komplete Standard or Sampletank 4?

Don't forget the frequent upgrades to IK's Total Studio. Oh wow. Did not know about that. I tried their tape sim demo a while back and the installer was horrible to uninstall. Tape sim did what it claimed whereas the drum modelling plugin was disappointing. But yes we have SO MUCH available now, yo...
