how far will you go when everything that matters is gone? comments welcome.

in W11 the default is "C:\ProgramData" which is different than W10 which has "C:\Program Data" - either someone in MS oops or they found having a space in the directory name was always a bad choice and caused more issues than not...

the audio part of the secret are the anti-aliasing filters used. for the digital side: power, clocks, etc all contribute to how good (or not) a AD/DA unit "sounds". poor clock stability, under-powered, cheap opamps and filtering components all make a difference. and much of it is measurable. check out a DIY equipment forum where some folks get really in depth on the components, actual o-scope views, log traces, etc etc.

sure - share screenshots of your laptop and desktop display settings. also any video display information would help as well.

a number of years back, a person had done a whole exposé on The Beatles - key changes and tempo changes per song. there is this one but not the tempo map... https://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/recording-and-musicology/keys-that-the-beatles-used-now-that-youve-found-another-key/

one of my favorites as a kid (14?) was to take an old single tube photo preamp (from my old non-turning portable record player) and just plug the guitar straight in and then output to the amp (whatever one tube or solid state never really mattered at the time) - using the volume control to get just ther right distortion - from just light distort to that "modern" metal screaming distortion! the key was to add a volume pot in front of the input to limit the guitar level and a 10K resistor in series for the input load.

no idea. so i just make it a hard selection and ignore it. presumably it's because of whatever matching criteria is used is different - names, CRC, uuid, etc etc which don't align because the vendor gets creative and wants to make a splash with their VST3 version...

i just go into my plugins manager and exclude VST2 for which i have a VST3. takes a few minutes. then if i need the VST2 version for some reason (seldom) then it's right there, re-enable it and ready to go. no messing with installations, paths, and updates fro mthe vendor work as expected and very few times does it ever affect the excluded setting.

sure 192Khz 32-bit poop emoji 🙉

you may have an event triggering the volume change or an envelope controlling it. i had a similar issue with sforzando and kontakt in my recording template until i foudn i had saved an event during testing which triggered the volume drop.

that's because the people who were creating the larger ones we see today were also killed in a tragic accident... coincidence? you have to wonder...

i've always used an SM58 and sometimes an SM57 w/ pop filter. then about 12 years ago? i bought a Behringer B-2 Pro. $200. i've used this with many really good vocalists both recording and live and it is just awesome. esp given the price. now i have heard a few people with lemons but most folks who try it a surprised by how good it is for vocals. multiple patterns (mono, figure-8, and cardiod), 10db pad (never used it myself). my other favorite is the Audio-Technia 3035 - but it's more "neutral" than the dynamics or the B-2 so it's good for cases where you need really flat (at least it seems flatter). right now i have a Slate VMS ML-1 sitting next to me and it's ok -- but i really like the filters to mimic other mics so i use those more than recording with the mic itself.

works ok for me. just make sure you have a selection in the timeline across all the markers you're trying to create the sections from. picks up the marker names from an imported MIDI file:

depends on your meaning - if you set the tempo of the project lower it will play back with longer timing between sounds or extend continuous sounds. if yo uwant the audio itself to play slower regardless of tempo. there are some plugins that can mimic slower audio, and there is stretching clips and lower tempo as well. e.g. https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/3-Studio-Tools/72-Utility/5026-SlowMo you could also play the audio in your media player - most have 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 1.5x, 2x etc speed controls if you're jsut listening to it.

i think there are some plugins which can split based on frequency - some on ranges (like the Waves Studio Rack) and others more like an EQ (multiband, dynamic, static). e.g. https://www.waves.com/plugins/studiorack https://www.eventideaudio.com/plug-ins/spliteq/ https://www.kvraudio.com/product/thesplit-by-thezhe https://bedroomproducersblog.com/2021/11/03/sound-fingers-dub-spl4/ https://www.gearnews.com/effect-grid-plug-in-split-audio-into-9-frequency-ranges-to-process-independently/ https://integraudio.com/7-best-frequency-splitter-plugin/
