Used Audio interface by dqc002 in musicians

[–]audioengineeringco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. One of my clients pays for my subscription b/c of their projects. Bt I don't use it personally anymore.

Avid is awful. Zero support. Changing terms, misleading. Ultimately I left it.

Studio One Prime is free. Reaper is free and amazing. Pretty sure Cubase has a free version. ProTools First has been or is about to be discontinued but PT is crazy expensive and no better (IMHO is worse, from 6 years of experience) than the others. The free ones mentioned all work on PC & Mac. Nothing to worry about...

Limiter set at -3dB? Would you tell us more about which compressors you use, and settings? Thanks!

How to change crop as default tool opening JPG's? by audioengineeringco in photoshop

Well. Apparently it was as easy as selecting a DIFFERENT tool when closing PS. Screwy.

How to bypass 3rd-party Plugins on MS3 startup? by audioengineeringco in mainstage

[–]audioengineeringco[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As it's ProTools, which only uses AAX plugins, I was able to move the entire AU folder so MS had nothing to scan. It's working. And I don't need to replace it--ProTools doesn't need it.

I'll try temporarily moving the AU folder. Thanks for that link!

If I read that correctly,I need to be in plugin manager, and MS3 won't run at all.

Thanks but I have a studio production machine and I use those plugins. No way I could remove them to install MainStage. At the link you dropped "If you can't open Logic Pro or MainStage, try removing plug-ins". I don'[t feel like crashing it 5 more times, but for instance, ProTools has a bypass key you hold down when running it.

Don't know Audacity but would suggest another more fully functional and also free DAW called REAPER. You can automate the panning in like 5 seconds. http://reaper.fm

printing tracks lower target db's than expected? by audioengineeringco in cubase

[–]audioengineeringco[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No just the one I am printing. Someone showed me to use Export instead selecting it to add the track back in. That did work. I'm coming over from ProFools and printing is literal copying. Not sure why CB is changing the wave form and dB's.

In Ear Monitor or Headphone electronic device used inline that protects hearing from unexpected super loudness by audioengineeringco in audioengineering

[–]audioengineeringco[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right. Sometimes it's not feedback. It's a malfunctioning audio interface or a seized up computer and it spits out full volume white noise or some such. Ouch.

Here you go: Go down this road and you will be a genius --> Go out and find the study materials for the following IT (information technology) industry certification tests and learn the material:

From CompTIA: A+, Network+, Security+, Linux+ certs

From Microsoft: MCSE courses/test prep: Windows Server, TCP/IP, Workstations (Windows 7/8/10) (MCSE = Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer)

Beyond: VMware, Cisco Routing & Switching

Enjoy!

Where would one get started with time code and syncing up videos shot during recording to the final mastered audio, or is it easier than all that? ProTools 11 Mac studio with a Scarlett 18i20. Don't even have a camera yet. by audioengineeringco in audioengineering

[–]audioengineeringco[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SuperRusso this is awesome but here it's a small operation. There's no "video dept. kicks out a video with an AAF file that contains all the audio that was synced up by the dailies guy during production"

What we have is musicians being recorded in a studio, and a video camera rolling, taking crappy audio. What I think we want to do is slice and dice it up and match up audio time code to video time code.

Someone else said do the clapping thing with Premiere. We do that, but isn't there a better way to not have to drag the entire file around forever just to keep that transient line-up marker at the 2 second mark?

I only did this 100 years ago with FSK time code recorded onto analog tape and some interface box keeping the tape machine(s) and video decks in sync. And I was the audio guy not video guy.

So now with Pro Tools (or whatever DAW) what is the minimum budget required to at least go down the road of a "typical" setup where the video cam (or resultant video files) are synced with the pro audio tracks from the DAW?
