Look into "inter-sample peaks". Yep. The ITU/EBU spec for TV programme delivery is -24LKFS, with -2dBTP. Not complying is expensive. Cheers, Tim PS. Nobby, your flashing peak LEDs happen because of level - duh - and rise time. I think that peak meters have a rise time of 300 microseconds,...

Adverts for these mics are popping up quite regularly in my farcebook feed.

Anybody here taken a punt on one?

Experiences? Critiques?

Enquiring minds want to know.

The stereo Blumlein is the ad that appears most often...

The Saudi Diplomats.

Some years back I did a rock guitar instrumental version of Drunken Sailor for a documentary, and it became known to everyone in the post-production area as "The Inebriated Mariner."

It's got a separate algorithmic reverb that can blend with the impulse response, as well as modulation of the IR. Nothing too revolutionary. I've been using Altiverb for years, and I had no idea about that. The Allaire impulses are nice in Altiverb, as are some of the concert halls and cathedrals. ...

Sorry gents.

Life got in the way, so I won't get to this until next week...if all goes to plan.

Cool.

I'll try and cobble something together after the weekend.

Ok.

Can somebody point me to the old drums?

I can have a go at that...

Is there a guide that will sync up with it?

Also...didn't we change key at some point to accommodate our singer?

Cheers,
Tim

Cheers!

I noticed - well, the internet did - that Fox News called it a meeting of two dictators.

At least they are acknowledging that now.

The rest of the world knew that ages ago.

And in a rare twist, the guitar player met a fate so grim that it was normally reserved for the bass player, or even worse, the drummer.

A new career in pizza delivery?

Tough situation. First of all, if you want to stay in this group, put your foot down about where the material that you have to work on is located...dropbox etc. Make sure there is only ONE location for this stuff, and that the material that is in there is given a date or a version number so there is...

Sad news indeed.

I'd not heard of backwards mastering, but I did read about making safeties of the 2" in reverse to allegedly preserve transients...but I'm pretty sure I read it in Mix magazine - so all bets are off.

Yep.

You made the wrong choice.

Suck it up.

Pay the guy for his time...then call the right guy...and then pay him.

Assuming we're still talking about hiring session musicians as opposed to actual sculptors...

Ain't that always the way?

You could get really cute funny and fresh by sending each drum down one at a time! Allegedy the Power Station record from the 80's was done that way...each drum fired into the stairwell and recorded. I've done it by doing 2 passes - all the close mics, then the overheads. It worked well enough given...

Cool!

Nice one!

I have a range of about three-and-a-half notes in the key of H Blunt on a good day...

Trust me...you don't want the vocal any edgier than this.

The key was determined by where the intro guitar part fell on the fretboard.

This track slightly pre-dates the other track I posted - Two Hundred - by a few months...so late '09/early '10. Lyrics: Phil Grocott. Music: Tim Halligan. I played and sang everything. Guitars were a Fender Custom Shop Strat, and a Japanese Tokai "Love Rock" LP copy...but were clown-fucked...

I remember Slipperman commented on how the module version is inferior to console. And not we have a plugin version which is probably inferior to module :stg: Somebody on Facebook drew Slippy's attention to this new plugin, which he duly downloaded and tried on a number of sources. His response, par...

...and get back to 440 tuning.

That 432 malarkey has been pretty comprehensively debunked.

Thanks. I don't think there was a specific incident that the 200 daily dead refers to. So yeah...the drums - BFD2 - and keys were programmed by me, but the keys were hardware as opposed to soft-synths. The guitars and bass were real, as was the vocal. No autotune, because I didn't have it. This was ...
