Dunno what a Cylon is (except that it's something in Battlestar Galactica, which I've not seen), but I believe you must be exactly right. I've downloaded several apps that do analysis-resynthesis (or something similar), though haven't yet tried playing with them. They include: Spear, Photosounder, T...

Someone suggested the problem is "misaligned data" and/or "buffer underrun," which would seem to describe it exactly. So I half-wonder if there's some developer's tool with which I could identify the moment where the data goes out of alignment and surgically realign the data (analogous to zooming in...

I've encountered a bizarre sort of audio file corruption ? new to me ? which I'm hoping someone will be able to identify (link below), and perhaps to recommend a fix. While I've been in the long process of building a new studio and a lot of my gear has been dismantled, I've taken work transcribing a...

Big thanks, Dominick!

A tiny favor to ask of someone. As part of my studio remodel, I'm building in cabinets for various items, including a bunch of 1/4" x 10 1/2" reel tapes. Right now all my tapes are buried in storage and I need to know the exact height of one of those tape boxes ? it'll be around 11". Does anyone kno...

UPDATE: my housemate (a musician without construction skills) was just offered a job out of town, which means that now there's space for someone with skills to stay here, if that would be attractive. Rent would be little or none, negotiable based on how intensively you can work on the build project ...

Thanks for the shout out, Geoff. I'll call in next few days, depending on how I feel when vertical. If i recall, you did a cool project with a trailer (that's your avatar?) For anyone who might be contemplating my offer, note that we'll be using technologies like Green Glue, resilient channel, both ...

ALSO SEE "UPDATE," FOURTH POST BELOW. [I'm typing with one finger, leaning on crutches...] I've started construction, remodeling my home-based studio in Malibu (near Topanga, not far out), but just injured my back (while mixing concrete in a wheelbarrow). Now looking for an artistic musician with mo...

Ted, Nice to hear you confirm that, in a one-layer/two-layer DW assembly, directionality does matter. Originally I had thought that much ? and your explanation re. flanking confirms it ? but there?s a lot on the interwebs that parrots the ?directionality doesn?t matter? line. Good thing we've set th...

Hi Ted, thanks for your thoughts. My understanding is that in a wall with single drywall on one side and double on the other it makes no difference which side is doubled in terms of transmission reduction; it should be the same either way. In any case, my double side will be on the ?living/live? sid...

After dealing with major plumbing and other issues unrelated to my planned studio remodel, I?m almost ready to start construction. I have three seemingly simple questions that I haven?t seen addressed here in TOMB, Gervais' book, or elsewhere. For a little context, here?s a sketch of what I?m up to....

i remember someone saying a long time ago that most Americans have some loss in their left ears and Britons have loss in their right because their ears are closer to the windows of their cars (road noise, riding with the windows down, etc.). Glad to see someone else note this. I've informally teste...

What does he *think* he's advertising ? his "talent," or multi-tiered cymbal stands, or what? And where can I get me some o' them snappy duds?

I haven't looked much at the keyboard/controller market for a while. But in the fairly inexpensive category I have not played anything that beats the action on my old Alesis QS8. It's not a real piano action, of course, but it kills the action on my Kurz K2500 and other synths. 88 keys (the models w...

Nice thread. With implicit reference to various sub-threads here, one thing I sometimes think about is the effect that grid editing and drum machines are having on up-and-coming players? sense of groove, even just within straight time. As more of the music that one hears in daily life has come to be...
