  1. Yes, but since you taught me, I have made a practice of it. Not every file needs it. The other technique I picked up from Bapu was using clip gain to control what you feed in to the fx chain. An example of where this makes my process much faster is for bouncing sermons (tedious job and doesn't have to be perfect). Because I do this every week (sometimes more than once) I have a fairly fixed process and I'm quick. 1. import file to an audio track. 2. find the sermon, split around the sermon with a little music leading up to it. 3. normalize the clip to -3dB 4. use clip gain envelope to notch down coughs or other noises. Perhaps bring up the quiet sections or down the loud. 5. Bounce to clip to see if it looks nice. 6. Normalize again to -3dB 7. Bounce to track through compressor and expander so noise is reduced and spikes are compressed. I use CA2A and MSpectralDynamics for this. High pass filter on the eq. 8. Normalize resulting track to -.2dB and see if the peaks are fairly consistent. If something stands out, return to step 4 and notch it. 9. limit a couple of dB, increasing the overall volume a little more. I use MMultiBand limiter for this. I can get through exporting this to MP3 end-to-end in about 15 minutes, including recording the intro and posting it to the web.
  2. I'm very sorry. Sucks supremely. I feel for you.

  4. Just to be annoying, i normalize things to different levels all the time. Essential piece of kit imho. Being able to normalize to rms or ebu is also handy.
  5. Make sure the clip has the focus. Shift click until the clip has the focus. Then s to split. You can also select clip to have the focus on the drop down on the track header on the left.
  6. We joke, but kids work so heavily with cloud resources like Google apps that there are high school grads who consider themselves tech savvy who don't understand local storage like hard drives or why you would use it. I used to use as an interview question when hiring people for a service development team, 'give an example of when not to use service oriented architecture'. So much dead air.
  7. I'm a little confused. With CbB you can just export to mp3. This will use the Lame encoder. It is what i use these days. It doesn't have a charge. Mp3 encoding is no longer protected so any software developer can package it for free.
  8. Wow, @Noel Borthwick ! Thanks for the link! Jono, I'd be glad to help in any way I can if I can be useful.
  9. Mudgel, not the same, but i suffered a bad skateboard accident - oops - and i wasn't sure if i'd be able to turn my left hand palm up after they screwed my elbow back together. It came around in time with physical therapy. Be peaceful. Keep musicin your life while you are inhibited. There's more than one way to rock.
  10. I've often lusted after a yamaha 01V. Early versions were out in 1999. I have shopped them several times but I'm not steady enough live to justify it.
  11. All class compliant interfaces work with Linux. Regarding rme, totalmix and digicheck do not work on Linux. Melda productions plugins work with wine. I use a usb ssd for using laptops that aren't mine to make recordings with my rme. Works great. I do miss digicheck and totalmix. If you want to try it, check Ubuntu studio... Super cool and tons of fun. Mixbus is cool but not required. I do prefer sonar to mixbus most of the time. When exporting from mixbus you get some interesting recording metrics that i find helpful. I have run sound and made non trivial live recordings booted to Linux.
  12. Speaking of relativity E=Fb

  14. Awesome story. We have some open mics around here. I do half my recording in bars but I've never recorded an open Mic. Interesting thought. This is a straight up warehouse. I'm thinking the practice rooms are enclosed for year round climate control as much as sound-proofing. Virginia gets both hot and cold. The whole thing is 1/16th or less of the whole warehouse. They sell sodas but aim for beer. So far, everyone I've seen there is over 45. They have a slack channel for subscribers only. You can't store gear there and i haven't seen the bathroom. None of that matters to me. It is a nice gathering place where religion and politics won't dirty the water. I was thinking that it'd be a fun space to reamp tracks super loud... Maybe on a Saturday morning before anyone cares. There is a nearby bay door that could provide a stage for the parking lot on weekends. Industrial park location means loud is no problem. The owners are enterprising and adventurous. Everyone I've met has been kind. I'm signing up at some level. I'll bet everyone who goes also owns a home, but should be a nice crowd to be a member of.
  15. You might consider updating the title of the original post in the thread to resolved... then the title
  16. It kinda sounds like it is exactly doubling the signal. This sometimes happens to me when i senda mono track to a single mono out. Cakewalk let's the track go stereo in the channel and then recombines it for the mono send causing an overload. (Totally beside the point) I have no idea what could be causing this. I'm really scratching my head. Do you have total mix? If yes try a complete reset in totalmix.
  17. Badass! That's great! They didn't know who solved it . Also, a singer i used to record bimonthly for 6 years or so came in with her new band while i was there. Gonna make a tape of them soon, i hope. She's friends with the owner i learned.
