I think there is some risk of creating unrealistic expectations for intonation on the part of the listener as well. Some older vocal tracks sung by very good singers (like from the 80s) are beginning to sound out of tune to me. re. unrealistic expectations: Listen to a Patsy Cline record. Her inton...

I sum 8 d>a channels in a good sounding Soundcraft board and record a stereo mix back into the DAW. Lately I have been experimenting with running the mix bus through a stereo tube mic pre (with some slight EQ) and a compressor. I've been using a Presonus Blue 1/2 space stereo compressor, set with a ...

There are comments in this thread stating that the software doesn't have a sound, only the interfaces do. While I always thought this was for most purposes true, my recent experience moving from PT 7.1 to PT9 was different. Compared to the earlier version my whole soundfield seems more open and tran...

Yes, the baffles are farther away, but don't they effectively change the direction of the sound source, thus changing the way it will be cancelled by the capsule? Or maybe the baffles are cutting/blocking the direct sound and what I am dealing with is reflected sound, which is thus coming from a dif...

huh? or should I say to do which?

It is my understanding that the way a cardioid mic pickup pattern in controlled is through some kind of interaction/cancellation between sound hitting the mic from the front and sound hitting it from the rear. (thus a cardioid works more like an omni when the rear of the mic is closed off, like when...

I am considering a new DAW from PC Audio Labs (aka pcaudiolabs.com), and I am looking for references. If you have bought a DAW from them or had dealings with them please let me know.

Thanks

Another alternative, if you can find someone with PT, is to open the song/session file and save it as an OMF file, if your new application can read OMF format. I have Sonar 2 and it can do it. There are a few types of info that don't get save, such as some volume and panning info, but if you are goi...

I use Vegas Audio 2.0 (yes it's OLD) and I haven't ever encountered this problem, so I have no help to offer, I guess. FYI I bought a UAD-1 Card and have had some compatibilty problems, but then my system is old and the software and drivers that work for the rest of my rig are not the latest. If you...

I am a world class musician based in the Los Angeles area. Instuments I play include acoustic & electric guitar, slide guitar, pedal steel & lap steel, dobro and occasional bass. I have worked live and in the studio with a wide range of acts. I am currently in Rita Cooldige's touring band, and worki...

I have a PC-based DAW system I have been using Sonic Foundry Vegas, which I love. But it doesn't do any MIDI so I also use Sonar (which I dont love as much) when I need to do sequencing. I am due for a DAW upgrade, which leads me to consider the following issue: I want to be able to work with outsid...
