Re: Sound on Sound magazine no longer catering for old subscribers
Further to my previous post. It’s heartwarming to know that the contributors to this thread care in one way or another. And indeed, that both sides in the discussion care in their own way. Some think that women need a helping hand in the industry and others think that women don’t need a helping hand...

Re: Sound on Sound magazine no longer catering for old subscribers
From a woman’s perspective … I found this Sound On Sound issue a tad patronising. No worries though. No harm SOS looking for new angles. I think a better approach would have been to include the articles in the magazine, but not all at the same time! I’ve been a reader of SOS since the early nineties...

Re: Push midi from DAW back to digital piano to use built in samples
I thought that they had discontinued it but you are right, it appears to still be available from https://www.bandlab.com/products/cakewalk?lang=en unclegemima I had wondered if you were confusing ‘Bandlab’ with ‘Cakewalk by Bandlab’? They are two separate programmes. Cakewalk by Bandlab is a fully ...

Re: American Standard Pitch Notation, a true work of evil.
Mind you,... I tend to sol-fa along to anything I hear. But hey ho. :D That was what this guy said :D He could immediately sing anything back in sol-fa apparently without conscious thought, it was inpressive. Just a thought, it's basically the same for melody as Nashville charts are for chord seque...

Re: American Standard Pitch Notation, a true work of evil.
Strangely, having not even thought about Tonic Sol-Fa (apart from remembering that the young, English, Gypsy Jazz virtuoso 'Reme Harris' name was inspired by the system) for many years I was at a beginners improvising workshop playing rhythm guitar for my mate who was running the session and one of...

Re: American Standard Pitch Notation, a true work of evil.
It's still in very common use in France but on a fixed basis (as far as I can work out), i.e. Doh is always C, Re is always D, etc. I discovered this when I was asked to play at a wedding in Lyon and was presented with a chord sheet just before the event without any letters that I was familiar with...

Re: American Standard Pitch Notation, a true work of evil.
I really like letters and numbers to identify notes. I don't like Do, Re, Mi, Fa, etc etc. So I'm cool with the letters and numbers. Anyone here still use sol-fa these days? It’s still my go to method for working out melodies. As a means of hearing something and being able to write it down quickly ...

Re: Frequency Dependent Peaks When Bouncing
Of course when mixing we spend a lot of time ensuring that competing frequencies aren't obscuring each other and causing trouble - kick and bass being obvious contenders. Even so I quite regularly find that when bouncing down a mix and looking at the waveform, there's often just one or two peaks th...

Re: Monitor Controller Question
I know that the Heritage Audio Baby RAM is passive, but has anyone used this unit? I swapped out my Drawmer cmc2 for the Heritage Audio Baby RAM. I had ground hum issues through my monitors with the Drawmer and instead of faffing about, decided to go passive (The Drawmer also had a scratchy left ch...

Re: Rotating horizontal speakers
Thanks for the reply Hugh. I’ll be interested to try that out with my KH 310s too and see what the result is. I have a similar set up to you (without all the fancy stuff I hasten to add! :D ) My music area is a little bit larger (around 5m x 4m), similar desk size and two screen monitors side by sid...

Re: Rotating horizontal speakers
Hugh Since there has been mention of the Neumann KH 310a speakers. In your article about your own studio (SOS June 2020), I see you have your KH 310s placed with the bass woofers to the outside: https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/studio-sos-making-small-room-sound-good The manual suggests the b...
