  1. yes it will copy seamlessly. i did it in Cubase already and you cannot even tell. but don't have it figured out in CW yet. i tried selecting a portion of the waveform then it started referring to sections and it started losing me. i didn't know if i had to use sections instead of the waveform or not. but yes, the parts are identical and have no singing to complicate cut/paste of the chorus bass part that turned out to be about a measure. also i had trouble switching back and forth between beats/measures timeline and minutes and seconds time over the waveform. sorry i'm just learning CW terminology if that is not what it is called. RR i was able to get the looping which i use a lot to work.
  2. I just called it a "de-esser" i guess because early on when i used Wavelab in the 80s and 90s, it had a "de-ess" setting and never learning the actual purpose for it i just thought that de-essers removed hiss-like sounds. so i am not up on terminology really and am more a musician than a producer/recording engineer. so have patience with me if i mis-label stuff. thanks for the info on ReaFIR and Lisp! I will definitely try them. I can post a before and after of a song on here if that is something of interest of what i have done from raw cassettes so far. you mentioned the cymbals, in some cases i like that "slashy" highs sound that you mention that the SM-57s get when you record cymbals. not for everything but i have a use for it in some of my stuff. i need to get recommendations on the budget-friendly cymbal mic(s) because my current drum mic setup doesn't have any. Also, i am having trouble with CW trying to convert over from Cubase 12. I know practice and hacking at it is how i learned Cubase. but this is a different animal . for example, i want to copy a portion of a song that the bass player hit the wrong note with another section (chorus) where he played it correctly. i have tried to be intuitive trying to figure it out on CW but no luck. In fact, with these "basement tapes" releases i will be needing to do this a lot. can i get some quick start steps to do this because the documentation did not come up with this topic thx much and hoping to jump over to BL 100% soon. i have only experimented with it on three songs so far and it is taking me waaay too much time to do what i can do on Cubase in a few minutes. But, i want to get up to speed and use CW now. Especially with the Bandlab linkage!! I downloaded and tried BlueLab's DeNoiser but found it to lower the overall gain trying to get the hiss out RR
  3. i do have about 3 sec of nothing but the hiss on one recording and low hum on another. one mic was near a device that produced hum on the recording thru that mic, i have eliminated a lot with EQ believe it or not but i can do better . is the Blue Lab free or have a full functioning eval? i only need it for a couple things right now and will buy it later when i am doing more stuff from other bands RR
  4. i did not have the option to do ambient or would have. in fact that is all that was done in these recordings were ambient. i'll have to post a before and after some time just to show what i was working with and what i got for results using source cassettes recorded on a one or two mic ambient setup turned up to 11 ... yeah... anyway, i recorded directly into a Zoom R24 Recorder and used a few things on that like EQ , cutoff etc. , reverb, and a few canned effects and it was amazing how much a difference it made bringing out things like vocals, cymbals, bass drums, bass and gave it depth.
  5. is there any plug-in that can isolate and just listen to the hum or hiss? like maybe tell the frequency range with a 'knob' and see if it eliminates it?
  6. hey thanks. what's with de-essers? i found a lot of DAWs don't have them or the ones out there cost a lot of cash just to process , these things were included in wavelab back in the day but it is not a free program anymore. CUbase has none unless yu pay for the premium packages which right now i can't afford. So far i'm liking Cakewalk. update - Reaper comes with a De-esser! Also, a ton of plug-ins.\
  7. I have a full mixdown and it has a hiss on it. unfortunately, the source had the hiss and i just need to use the de-esser to limit the high hiss. i have another recording with a low hum on it but, if that requires a different technique or not i don't know. i'm hoping the de-esser has a frequency selection cutoff. i'm new to cakewalk - i have used it before but after some frustrations with other DAWs, i decided to try CW after so many years. i don't seem to be able to find de-esser in my plugins or compression tools. oh how do i add new plugins? can help?
