I am getting a few seconds of audio drop out on btd. The drop outs only seem to occur during the first half minute of the btd file and the rest of the file is okay. I'm betting that the problem is related to the hardware settings but I don't quite know which way to adjust them. A search of the forum...

Has anyone heard of any problems with the new SR based MBP running Digital Performer?

Amplitude vibrato? Think "flute." Most flute vibrato is really of the amplitude sort, created by heaving the diaphragm (rapidly pushing from the belly, up into the lungs). It can affect pitch, too, or the artist may incorporate pitch into the vibrato. James Galway uses what sounds like a ...

.....Hearing a Mozart aria with a run of sixteenth notes where each note may have a pitch deviation of more than a quarter-tone per sixty fourth is pure torture for me, but tell me: is this historic or stylistic? There are no recordings from Mozart's time. All we have is academic precedent. ..........

I've used Jack OSX with Ardour (beta) and have found that it seems capable of connecting just about anything to anything. From what I've seen, if an item has an audio output and/or input then it will appear in the Jack interface which will allow you to plug virtual wires between any of the units. As...

Hope this helps.

I was curious about this as well, thanks for the link to that article resolectric

To summarize: :arrow: In the analog world, you focus on the quiet spots; shadows and noise. Then in the mix (or printing) you bring down the highlights and peaks until they're manageable. :arrow: In the digital world, you focus on the loud spots: highlights and peaks. Go beyond the limit, and you h...

Thanks for all the great information.....it's helped out a lot! On the other hand, digital overs of any duration beyond a few samples are like sandpaper in your Skilsaw, with blood and carnage everywhere. It's actually a great effect, but not particularly recital-friendly. *Chuckle*, vivid descripti...

If extreme peaks are a problem, you can use an analog compressor/limiter on each mic channel, but I would suggest just setting a slightly lower input level at your Mic Pre or, if your Pre doesn't clip too hard, at the fader. If your signal path is clean, noise should not be a problem. Remember, you...

Thanks HCMarkus Adding a limiter plug in will not stop clipping! You should not need an analog limiter/compressor to record a recital. If the signal makes it thru your converter without clipping, DP will capture the audio perfectly. Once audio is in DP, it floats around in DP's 32-bit environment un...

Hello all. Well, my equipment finally came in (just over 2,000$ worth of gear). So now I have a couple of questions regarding setting the levels in the recording chain. The recording environment is an auditorium with various performers throughout the recital. (vocal soloists with piano accompaniment...

I would start by positioning the M/S setup at head height or just a foot above, in front of the singer. Pulled back for balance but not so much as you loose presence and definition. It also depends a lot on the distance from the singer to the Piano, but if you get a straight line from the mics to t...

Well everyone, I think I've got a solution for the mics. sdemott: Okay I know you don't like these, (Chinese mics) but they are a substantial improvement over what I am currently using and I was able to try them out to see what they sound like. The verdict for the Mid and Side mics is the Studio Pro...

I agree - a cardioid is a better choice, when I was suggesting the M/S for focus I was considering a cardioid with a far forward reach. The idea is that you aim the Mid mic right at the singer so they are dead on axis. The simple fact that you have mic aimed at the singer will help accentuate them....

I'm not a fan of the M/S results with a combination of Bidirectional plus Hyper/Super cardioid. I prefer the sound of a Cardioid as a Mid mic. Preferably a wide cardioid if the room sounds good, if not, a normal cardioid. Hyper or Super cardioid mics tend to have a less even frequency response and ...
