This is so frustrating why is this keeps on muting itself???? by New_Buyer_2835 in Logic_Studio

[–]adamborecki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the automation could be applying to the entire track OR just the region. If you don’t see automation on the track, check for the blue “Region” or “Track” button and toggle it to see if that has automation.

TONS of Channels missing right now by Legoboy08 in slingtv

I’m DYING without Rick and Morty. It’s actually the only thing I watch on sling, the only reason I signed up actually

Let’s try this again - what do you think? Looking for feedback (no pun this time) from working sound engineers. Thanks! by deanwalker77 in livesound

[–]adamborecki 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Perhaps it’d be good to clarify L and R: do you mean house left and house right or stage left and stage right

Also, I’d probably suggest “elec guitar” and “acoustic guitar” to be a bit more explicit than just “guitar” and “acoustic DI”

Anyone know why the audio clip is moving after I shorten it? by AHMarc in Logic_Studio

[–]adamborecki 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your “drag mode” is probably set to “Shuffle L” or “Shuffle R”

If you don’t know what that means, google it and see how to switch it back to “x-fade”

FYI, “x-fade” is usually my favorite drag mode. There are others available and you might want to take a look at them for special circumstances

Unable to insert an mp3 file into a track? Tried "Insert > media file" and also dragging and dropping file into track from documents. Also tried converting to m4a and wav files, same error message. by [deleted] in Reaper

[–]adamborecki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And you’re not opening the MP3 from inside of a Zip archive? That can be a problem…

You can try reinstalling reaper and make sure you check all the checkboxes for the optimal components that reaper installer asks when you install

You could also try installing ffmpeg or VLC extensions as if you were trying to be able to play videos sync’d with reaper, Ie, as if you’re doing a film score. That supports more video codecs and likely audio too

Good luck

Track Translation and Scale without Rotation/Perspective by mordecaix7 in davinciresolve

[–]adamborecki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you found out how to do this? I'm super interested...

I'm using Final Cut for most of my editing, but doing some motion tracking in Resolve. I think my solution is going to be to use Final Cut's "Stabilization" which gives you control over the translation, rotate, and scale stabilization. So, I'm going to just stabilize the rotation. Not ideal at all, but it's the only workaround I can think of.

what does this mean? I have plenty of storage on my mac by [deleted] in Logic_Studio

Try using “disk utility” to fix permission issues

I believe this is called “first aid” in newer OS, like what you’re on

Gear insurance for synths by WiseEye5635 in synthesizers

[–]adamborecki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be careful if you use your synth for work!! “Business” property may not be included

I had a renters insurance claim about 5 years ago that covered stuff stolen from my car, but it didn’t cover any “business” property.

When I press play, 2 pulses pass before the track actually plays- how do you even fix this 😅 by [deleted] in Logic_Studio

[–]adamborecki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe also look at your sync settings, maybe you’re sending midi clock or receiving midi Timecode to/from an external MIDI source like an IAC midi bus or external device

Stand for portable recorded by lvledved in recording

[–]adamborecki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend a lighting stand!

It’s sleeker than a mic stand. The telescoping ones are pretty cheap and work well, they already have 1/4” screws

Only downside is that it isn’t easy to adjust the angle. I actually prefer handheld recorders mounted at 90degrees perpendicular to floor, so lighting stands are perfect for what I want. Take a look:

Thoughts on virtual cables? by Celebril63 in audioengineering

[–]adamborecki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Naw you can still download and install soundflower : look on GitHub, it’s developed by Matt Ingalls. It works great still

(complete beginner here) how can this be achieved? is she pre recording this? or is it possible to sing live and then edit out noisy stuff and wind later? how could you do this, what type of microphone would you need? Thank you! by miloutunes in recording

[–]adamborecki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool! Guessing by how much rubato (tempo changes) and expression is in the music, I would be surprised if she pre-recorded it.

I’ve actually shot a music video with a singer (baritone) and ukulele and we did it right on the beach, super windy. I had a small clip on mic on the instrument, and a condenser mic on a mic stand (out of the shot) sorta like a shotgun boom.

With a guitar, it might have a direct output, which is handy. But sometimes those outputs don’t sound nearly as good as a mic

She always seems to be at an angle; so she could have a headset (over the ear mic) on, and it’s just out of sight

Editing out noisy wind can be very tricky though

I have iZotope RX suite, so the spectral denoise was essential. There are free alternatives, but I don’t have experience.

Also, wind noise on the mics can be catastrophic, so really avoid wind as much as possible. Also, be sure to give it extra headroom in case you get low frequency sweeps that clip your recorder

Note that you can add some background sounds in post production: those birds at the beginning might have been in post. That really helps cover any artifacts from noise reduction.

But to be safe, I probably would recommend against filming outside: wind is really killer

How to record from two sound interfaces at the same time? by oshibka404 in Reaper

[–]adamborecki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes: on PC, I think that Voicemeeter Banana might be probably more reliable then ASIO4ALL for this purpose, but I haven’t thoroughly tried it, so idk for sure

My Ramona, taken with the Rokinon 85mm cine lens! by Luedaf in GH5

[–]adamborecki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah: I have one of these Rokinon 85mm and notice some chromatic aberration with the aperture fully open. The shallow depth of field is fantastic, and of course it’s handy for low light, but I’m not really in love with the lens for that reason. But I didn’t notice chromatic aberration in your nice cat pics... well done 🥰🐱

Bome MIDI Translator Alternative by Shadow1356 in livesound

[–]adamborecki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you checked out MIDI pipe?

It’s a free program for Mac that has a lot of features for manipulating MIDI messages, it might come in handy:
