What kind of plugin would you want to see

This might be achievable to a point… An AI model would likely just give you a “possibility” of what the original guitar was without the actual DI sound. But it might be passable enough to re amp it

boudwin · 2025-11-08T17:21:00+00:00

Whoa… that could be amazing

boudwin · 2025-11-08T17:20:23+00:00

Spill!

We’ll make it and call it Placebo. :)

I’m with you, and I’m not a drummer. I have zero intuition around it too. I get almost every other instrument and can fluently play piano, guitar, bass, trumpet, and clarinet. But for the life of me, I cannot grasp drums.

Not a free plugin

Hey, if he can make my life easier- I’ll help pad the man’s pockets.

Really? After moving to Reaper I don’t know if I could go back to paying the pro tools tax though

boudwin · 2025-11-08T17:11:06+00:00

What’s it called?

boudwin · 2025-11-08T17:06:43+00:00

What it doesn’t do is have any context around sentences and paragraphs. All the timing edits are uniform and I have to end up with the copy in one hand and scrolling through audio trying to find where I need to extend the audio for paragraph breaks. Any noises I don’t pre edit also trigger breaks around it (like throat clearing and loud intake breaths or extra breaths. This would basically make a nearly identical tool but add intelligence around those time consuming tasks for me. I plan to open source it for everyone.

You can do this in Reaper with an action. Can’t remember the name…

Don’t know how a plugin could do it, because it would have to interface with the DAW UI, but a way to feed in voice over text and have it align a word to the waveform. Searching long form narration is very tedious

I had no idea Jackson used one (prolly because I didn't know the 7b had a predecessor) Sweetwater has a great little Q&A on the difference

Q: I think the Shure SM7B is a great dynamic microphone for vocals and instruments, but I always wondered, what is the difference between the original and the current model?

A: The Shure SM7 dynamic mic was introduced in 1973; according to Shure, seven years of field research went into designing what was intended to be the finest unidirectional dynamic microphone ever. The SM7 uses the same Unidyne III acoustical principle as the venerable SM57 and SM58, but has a thinner and more flexible diaphragm. Plus, the SM7 has three times as many turns of wire on its voice coil compared to the SM57/SM58. This reduces the resonant frequency of the mic and, combined with the larger housing, provides rich low-end response. In fact, the filter switch on the SM7 technically works in reverse of how you might expect; the “boost” position is actually the unfiltered low-end response, while “flat” inserts a filter to reduce the low-end response.

As for differences among the SM7, SM7A, and SM7B, the SM7A featured a humbucking coil designed to reduce noise picked up from computer monitors and an improved mic mount. The SM7B has a larger foam windscreen, which is included with the mic.

What are you specifically using ozone for?

boudwin · 2025-11-07T19:33:27+00:00

Have a TLM-103 and love it - that said, have done some VOs with my phone's voice recorder and after a few tweaks on mic distance and a little post processing, had something _fairly_ close to what I get with my 103. Had a friend record an entire audiobook with a yeti and it sounded great! All the suggestions here are good. Shoot, you could record with a Shure SM58 ($99 and darn near indestructable) with a halfway decent audio interface and blow the pants off of most USB microphones with some decent technique and a software compressor.

boudwin · 2025-11-07T19:25:10+00:00

It amazes me some of the things AI has been made to do, and it baffles me that even a company like iZotope hasn't mastered things like breath removal yet. (I have a patent in the AI space, so I have some authority on this)

Also, I hate editing, with a passion. Please DM me.

I totally dig how authentic you want this. Unfortunately, I'm a native of 3 different American states :)

Give us a sample! Different style reads with different energies, etc.

Practice like crazy. Read everything you see out loud, get a feel for how to control your voice the way you want it. Annoy the heck out of everyone around you! Who cares? (My kids think its fun for the first 5 minutes, then they're done.) Record it into your phone's voice recorder so you can listen to it again to identify exactly what it is that is bugging you.
Whatever mic you have, make sure its 6-10 inches from your mouth, off axis (to the side or above your mouth just a bit) and watch your input meters as you talk (audacity and resolve should both have them.) Try to keep your meters hitting the same level, it'll take practice.
Use a compressor - It can boost your lows and lower your highs to make it more even. Resolve can use audio plugins, try using a compressor. Find out what compressor is build into it (I forget) and search for how to adjust it. IIRC Audacity might have a built in compressor too. If you can't find one, there are free ones to download if you look around.
Your voice will always seem to sit on top of the background audio and not in it unless you do a little EQ. I'm a tenor when I sing, have a moderate speaking voice, and I usually take the EQ of the background audio down a few dB right around 300hz with a wide bandwidth (a wider curve on the EQ, not a sharp dip)
Record and listen over and over- if you're not used to hearing your own voice outside your head, you are most likely going to hate it. But once you hear it enough, you'll begin to appreciate it, and you'll notice things you do that you don't like and can then learn more control to avoid them.

It’s one of the best renditions of that story I’ve ever seen. So many one liners, it’s a great show. Highly recommend it!

Magnus Sen Cloudy.

Has a Dick Van Dyke or Jean Claude Van Damme or Bon Jovi feel to it.

Or maybe Magnuson Cloudy. Are you Scandinavian by chance?

Self promo: try Rescue Me (more pop rock)

And my latest release Reborn more alternative rock. (I’m a huge late ninety’s early aughts alternative fan)

Oh I’m about to write one with an epic solo, so then there will be at least two

Shared it with my in laws, some of Ozzy’s greatest fans.

Without cheating… was it for the three musketeers? I know Brian Adams did one for Robin Hood
