Thanks for your replies guys! I think I'll start wearing earplugs when people set up from now on.

And as you play rock music with amplifiers, any defence lawyer will argue that it’s most likely self-inflicted over time. I don't play rock music with amplifiers, I don't even have one. Aside from the good advice above ask yourself has he got any money? There's no point in suing him if he hasn't. ...

We went to a first rehearsal with a band (all members were musicians that I knew previously) to play my original music and the spot to rehearse was a drummer's spot that he suggested, that turned out to be shitty (red flag), not good sounding equipment and just one speaker (typical in terms of size ...

Never mind, I asked him and he said that it's just an envelope filter. I guess the fact that the range was so big was misleading.

He could be using a louder volume to trigger a higher pitch shift. A parallel FX path in the HX stomp with another pitch shifter in and noise gate which only opens on the louder playing.

Listen closely – at the end of every note.

Hi, looking for a pitch shifting plugin that reacts to volume of a signal. Here's a reference of what I wanna achieve — when the volume drops after a threshold, the pitch goes down. https://vk.com/video637201_456239376?access_key=0dc06a24ac1e996c3f The guy used Line 6 HX Stomp. Do you know any ( ...

Perhaps its a data limit when you uploaded it? i.e. while on a bandwidth limited network, a setting that was turned on for data compression within Instagram? Just checked in the settings, yeah, there is a setting "upload in the highest quality" which was turned off, so most likely that affected it.

That distortion doesn't sound like a result of limiting to me. The guitar sounds fairly clean and the problem seems to be more with the backing track. No, the backing track is perfectly fine. Here's the clip which is not uploaded: https://disk.yandex.ru/i/L0iqkWfpt8CDSg Also, just noticed that it ...

Hi guys, what's your limiting options when you export audio for reels, shorts and tiktoks? I always limit to -0.3 dBfs, but I noticed heavy distortion in one of my reels: https://www.instagram.com/p/CVYb0bAM5YE/ So after exporting audio I import it to a video editor (Final Cut) and don't limit it ...

Hey peoples! Need to modify a guitar to make it sound like it has a rubber bridge for a recording, but it has to be not a permanent modification. I've seen the Babolat thing for killing vibrations of a tennis racket put on the guitar strings, not a fan of this sound, rubber bridge is better: https ...

Should I stop playing guitar? They would probably last as long as possible then.

Hi, how can I make my guitar strings last longer? I have Ernie Ball Paradigm which already last longer than regular ones, due to coating, but can that still be improved? For example wearing gloves during playing or/and apply a degreasing liquid on the strings after playing?

Hi, does it make sense to buy DSP accelerators in 2023? It’s very expensive and you would need a lot to comfortably run plugins. Although UAD have unique plugins and for some I can’t think of a replacement. I’m not a mixing engineer, but a producer, so I’m mostly interested in creative and spacial pl ...

I saw this video recently, where a dude uses eq in a linear phase and notches to reduce the resonances. So how does it combine when a guy has 3 grammies, but causes pre-ringing by doing that (linear phase + narrow qs)?

Yeah, when I record in a treated room, there’s no such problem, but when record at home for social media, it’s needed to tame the resonances.

Hi, today's topic for discussion is resonances😊. How do you tame them? My thoughts regarding vocal for example. I see people sweeping for resonances with narrow q very often and I also hear from other ones that this technique spoils the sound :) My thoughts, regarding vocals for example: 1. As the no ...

Hi, just wanna make sure where are the reverb and tremolo in the circuit of the amp, let's say Deluxe Reverb? Is it before the amp or in between the amp and cab? And is it generally the same way for all amps or does it differ?

No, I kinda mean 160VU, but also similar flavours, that's why I didn't specify it.

Looking for a good DBX plugin, what are your suggestions? Comparing Waves, UAD and Arturia right now (although I know Arturia is modelled after a different one). From what I hear now Waves and UAD are similar, but the UAD seems to have more presence, Arturia is similar on the auto attack/release ...

The fetish for specific models of EQ, or preamp, or compressor has really only developed with the move away from big studios with big consoles into home studios with small racks of disparate gear, and the availability of plugins... many of which sell on their eye-pleasing graphics rather than their ...

Limit your EQ plug choices to say three at a time and get to know them. Don’t keep swapping between 50 EQ plugs in an effort to find the ‘magic’ one for the track. If you find you rarely use one of the three EQs, then swap it out for another and see if that gets used more.

Thank you!

Do you have all of these already? Yes. I have an old Focusrite Liquidmix 32 and found an article or two on the interwebs describing the original units being modeled, with useful advice for most common application of each model. Not perfect of course but good starting points as to where vintage ...

Hi, for which situations and purposes do you use Pultec, Neve and API EQs (plugins)? Asking for producing, shaping sounds.

You need to go back and re-read articles on how compression works. For a start, we are dealing with an attack between 0.02ms and 0.8ms, so even at its slowest attack, an 1176 will severely limit even fast initial transients. The compression kicks in after the signal exceeds the threshold. The 1176 ...
