Re: Speeding up a song after tracking without altering pitch
For my money, and unless something has really changed since I've not been paying as close attention, I would push to re-record depending on what kinds of tracks you're working with. And the first thing I would do as part of the sales pitch on a new take is to create a rough mix, time compress the mi...

Re: Recording Lights for the studio — MMC?
I'm fairly certain that some older tape machines actually did have some relay connections for recording lights, but the equivalent you'd be looking for is a GPIO connection and probably not MIDI machine control. GPIO terminals are usually software configurable and you just need a simple contact clos...

Well thanks for that - I do try to write posts that are helpful apart from the occasional ones that only say "shameless bump". But funny you should ask about this... I will of course suggest that you take everything I say about my own book with a healthy (or unhealthy?) grain of salt, since whether ...

Good heavens, this is one of those posts that could end up with people (especially me) writing replies that take up the whole screen and pages upon pages of them. And that's great!! But I'll try to contain myself... at least for now. I agree that the terms you see thrown around like "warmth" "classi...

A lot of stereo processors that try to take a single channel and make it sound more stereo will play with duplicating the track, flipping phase, and introducing a tiny bit of delay to one side. When you think about it you're not too far off from that... sort of. You have a room mic in Fig-8 that you...

I agree that there are probably plenty of folks successfully running Logic with MOTU interfaces, but it still doesn't hurt to mate hardware and software of the same brand, especially when building a system from the ground up. It's not a requirement, but it can certainly make things easier - more so ...

I have to say that my favorite snare mic for the 5x14" snare in the studio here is the AKG C-414... but there's your whole budget in one mic. My favorite tom mics for the drums I have here in the studio (walnut shell Gretsch with Evans EC2 coated heads) is the TapeOp Ribbon (PPA brand 'R-One' mic) a...

Well I don't typically explain this stuff to 6 year olds, but I have explained it to some university professors with PhDs and DMAs, so I'm at least familiar with the necessary process. First up, consider that there are many different ways to use a DAW. If you still have your tape machines, console, ...

Ever the contrarian I don't really ever track with compression. I have a few outboard compressors I could use on the front end, and of course a comp on every channel of the console, but I want the entire dynamic range arriving at the recorder. If I were using something with a really lousy signal-to-...

OK, that kind of phasing is caused by the delay of the sound traveling across the room before arriving at the microphone. And the cure for that is indeed the delay that you have already setup on the track and adjusted to your favorite spot. But you still have some bits that are out of phase... And t...
