hey guys i've been working hard on this fork and i'm pleased to present this to you, for people that are aware of using rootlessjamesdsp as an audio dsp on android phones. it doesn't require root but you need to use shizuku to activate it at first which could be a bit fiddly, but the apks are there. the speed shifting works really nicely, if you werent speed shifting youtube music to be slower on the fly, you will be now! you can drag-touch up/down the floating speed shifter and stuff. check the readme on the main page for details or just get the app or don't i'm not promoting this is free open source software and it's a really new feature! ^_^

I'm so sick and tired of executing beautiful sounding ideas for weeks/months, just to fuck it all up at the last stages and for it not to translate to other listening environments and other PEOPLE. It doesn't even translate to ME!!! It's like baking a cake and spending an exorbitant amount on the ingredients and prep time, just to flame torch it in the oven at 1000 degrees. god damn, i'm outsourcing my mixes from here on out. My low end sounds like shit and i have to constantly EQ tracks i'm listening to from my boombox to even make it sound palatable.

You guys got it. I was arrogant and thought most audio engineers telling artists to outsource their mixes and mastering were just biased. Although it may be true to an extent, i'm seeing what you mean because I thought i'd get better after all these years, but i've come to the realization that i've just been chasing my own damn tail and wasting precious time. I GIVE UP!!!

me and my friends wanna make a podcast about random things. we are stuck on the topic, actually i am stuck on the topic what is the best audio recording software for us if we have a decent budget. I already used audacity and i didn't like it at all, i couldn't do things i wanted to.

We need a professional software

We mostly have rode mics

Hi there,

i listen to music alot on my Bluetooth headphones, most drum and bass, but alot of the stuff i download some stuff is right volume, the other stuff is too quiet.

i'm wondering how i can use one song as a base level and bring other songs to that same level if that makes sense? i tried asking ai but it didnt help a whole lot, hoping you guys can point me in the right direction to do it.

thanks in advance!

I have a song with hard-panned distorted guitars. They kind of have a Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream sound. During the final section I want to highlight the rhythm guitar for at least a few bars. The thing is, it's the same tone as the earlier parts. I've tried raising the volume, but it still doesn't have the impact it needs. How can I draw the listener's ear to the rhythm guitar in this section and make it more impactful?

Been thinking about compressors and which compressor I like the best - I think C3 might be favourite compressors!

1. It is extremely functional
   
2. has almost every feature needed
   
3. Different modes/flavours of compression
   
4. Side chain is great

And then i was thinking about compressors I dislike. I love softtube but dislike the CL1B compressor and i think its probz because i dont love that compressor!

anyways would love your thoughts

Hello everyone, trying to get a mix to the finish line and I’ve brought in several reference tracks. It’s got a lil bit of a 80’s dance vibe with big guitars in the hook.

I’ve brought in several reference tracks: Get Lucky, Foster the People, Arcade Fire, and Queens of the Stone Age for the guitars etc. they’ve been volume matched.

The issue here is my kick and bass are generally either a little quieter or louder than the references so I assume they’re okay. But my midrange is consistently too loud and harsh.

I’ve got 6 guitar tracks playing either the same riff or an octave up. I’ve gone in and tried to clean up the offending frequencies/lowering the volume. Then I’ll go back to my limiter and adjust so I’m hitting around the same decibels as before. The limiter just ends up undoing any EQ volume changes and my midrange is still too much.

Literally chasing my tail here while I consistently make my mix quieter and quieter with no real tonal changes being made.

Advice please!

Whenever I work on subtle background sounds and ear candy, I tend to hyper-focus on those sounds. When I play the track back, I'm not hearing the full song anymore, I'm just hearing the details. This leads me to over-accentuate those details and lose sight of their relationship to the main parts. How can I prevent this from happening? How do I get my ears to "zoom out" and actually hear the background sound as background sounds?

I'm going to be recording a children's choir doing overdubs for a song in a small church soon, and we won't be able to use headphones.

The pre recorded backing track is piano, acoustic guitar, and small string ensemble and there will be a couple dozen kids. Their footprint is about 15-18' wide.

I am planning on recording a pass of just the monitor signals playing in the room through the mics with the kids in place, and using that to reduce the bleed in post by reversing the polarity, assuming I keep the playback levels the same throughout all the takes, and the kids don't drastically change positions.

I'm currently spec-ing out what to rent for the gig, and debating whether a single monitor source would be ideal for simplifying the reflections for my cancellation plan, or if I should use a pair, for the sake of the kids and the conductor and the performance.

My current plan is LCR KM140s slightly elevated, up in front, close ish to the kids, and 414s in omni as a high wide spaced pair in the back of the church to capture the ambience of the church.

I would place the compact PA monitors, also elevated, behind the conductor.

Any one with experience with a setup like this care to weigh in?

As I said previously, headphones are already not an option. I will run the playback as quiet as I can get away with and still have them performing in time.

I have a mixture of confidence and mild anxiety at this point.

I did post on a previous similar project for the same client (that I didn't record) and had the task of minimizing bleed for that one, and would like to do what I can to alleviate the issue on the day, but still keep things simple for the kids. At least there will be no drums this time...

Thanks in advance for any insights, thoughts, recommendations, or advice.

A beginner just starting out on mixing. How do you hear subtle delays on vocals when you're listening to the finished song? I cant tell them apart from reverb. I'll drop some songs below it would be great if you guys help me hear delays on these vocals.

I'm a producer getting way more into the engineering side of recording and getting everything right at the source. I want to know if there's a way to cut down the ess's on the way in. I've had good success with aiming the mic down a little bit and also backing off the mic distance (I'm usually at about 6 inches), my room is treated. I'm okay with de-essing afterwards, but if there's a way to do it from the beginning, I'd like to and I'm sure it would sound better. I work with amazing singers so that makes me think that it's something on my end.

Mic wise - I have a really great custom Mic & Mod 251 build and I had the capsule reskinned by a guy who does big studio mic repairs in Nashville. This thing is a killer mic, easily the best I've ever owned. Going through my Neve 1073 DPX. Though I haven't shot it out, I believe it would keep up with a 2-3k 251 clone. I have the Avantone PS-1 pop filter...been thinking about going up to a Stedman or something maybe a little better but I'm not sure if that would be helping the ess's

Is there something I'm missing here or is this just a reality of tracking, is it a mic choice thing? Thank you!

Who do I have to get in contact with to request or have the Avid Lo-fi native plugin be made compatible to be used in other DAWs? I would pay top dollar for this!
