They are super low fidelity files from a digital voice recorder, but are good enough for the voice-only podcast. the original files are: 64 kbps stereo 22kHz I can drag them into sound forge and they open just fine...

Using a console for analog summing

hey everyone. I'm going to attempt to do some outboard summing for some mixes I have coming up. I'm planning to use a Toft Audio ATB console instead of a dedicated summing unit. Outputs are coming from my black lion 003. In general, how would I go about calibrating the channels on the board to make ...

Headphone matrix mixer with more than 6 inputs?

I'm looking for something that may or may not exist. I run Pro Tools LE 7.3.1 with an 003 and am trying to figure out how to run multiple headphone mixes with no latency. In Pro Tools I have the Low Latency Monitoring selected, which limits me to using only outs 1/2 for headphones. Unfortunately thi...

Clients ask for them because they're either insecure about your abilities or their performances. I think a lot of bands just want to hear the cool shit they did that day. Nothing more. It can help propel the session when they hear their progress and get stoked on it. I suppose there is a risk that ...

Software for displaying and organizing .WAV files?

I have a bunch of .wav files from various VO sessions. They are various sample rates, sizes, lengths, some stereo/some mono... What would save me a ton of work, is if there is a program where i could load these files into a playlist and export their info to a txt file, or better yet, an excel doc wi...

what's the best way to mult signal path for VO recording?

Hi. I'm doing some VO recording for a video game and i am trying to improve the quality of the signal chain. This is what I'd like to setup: U87 > Summit MPC-100A > Mult to 3 places (headphone, main digi002 recording rig, backup recording rig) Basically, I want to send the headphone feed directly fr...

Re: what's the proper way to do analog summing????

* a mono channel sent to a stereo master fader in Pro Tools will be 2.5 dB down when center-panned * a mono channel sent out a stereo output in Pro Tools (like interface output pair 1-2, for example), will also be 2.5 dB down when center-panned Thanks for this. I was aware there was a level drop, s...

practical uses of an expander? and theory behind it?

Hi. simple question. I've used compression a million times, but have never really used an expander for anything. What are some situations in which people have used expanders on their audio? Recently i used the Waves C1 compressor plugin on a vocal track and quickly rifled through some presets. The p...

what's the proper way to do analog summing????

Ok, so here's my plan, tell me if it makes sense: I'm going to mix my band's album 'in the box' in Protools LE at my house. When all the mixes are done, i plan to go to the studio i work at and run it through their console to see if it makes things sound better. So, if i a) split out all of the trac...

thanks for the response. so no, the EP was never released. The band was of course supposed to sign something before they came in the studio, but because they were friends of mine, it was all very informal and no details were nailed down before we started recording (my mistake #1). The first session ...
