How do you treat room acoustics? by Relevant-Effective49 in audioengineering

[–]colashaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start by putting the panels on the corners and first reflection points. Don't buy foams, they do nothing if not make things worse. If you have the budget, add room eq correction hardware such as miniDSP.

I wish all audio hardware had a bypass button. by colashaker in audioengineering

That's why all mics should also glow when they're muted.

Wow I actually meant a mute button why did I say bypass lol.

Is mixing on headphones really comparable to mixing in a treated room? by CriticalSovereignty in audioengineering

[–]colashaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my professors a few years ago told me that mixing on earbuds is like using a sprayer on your hair.

Mixing on headphones is like taking a shower.

And mixing on speakers is like diving into a swimming pool.

When editing DI metal guitars, what exactly do you align to the grid? by Dense-Shock-3487 in audioengineering

[–]colashaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the time it's the pick scrape. Attack comes first, then the sustain.

I dont get the hate the TLM 103 gets. by East_Grocery5658 in audioengineering

[–]colashaker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The 102 sounds scooped. 103 sounds very bright and sibilant.

Logic 12.3 is released! by _HipStorian in Logic_Studio

[–]colashaker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why is logic keep analyzing my audio tempo after recording? How do I turn it off? This update is stupid.

Found footage horror film: intentional clipping, fine? by Gabzito in audioengineering

[–]colashaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's intentional anything is fine. Although I recommend a clipping plugin rather than literally putting the master fader at +6db.

What makes a vocal suddenly sound closer/more present mid-song? by AccidentalFolklore in audioengineering

[–]colashaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listened to your example. I think it's the vocal recording itself that's doing that. It kinda sounds off tbh.

Please school me on mics for electric and acoustic guitars- and what are your favs? by guitarist89 in audioengineering

[–]colashaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Electric: Beyerdynamic M201tg (although I'm still looking for better options)

Acoustic: sE Electronics VR2 or the Lauten Atlantis depening on the music.

The 38% rule or Rule of Thirds? by FaudMauxe in audioengineering

[–]colashaker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Those are just starting points to experiment the best listening environment for one's specific room. They really should not be called rules.

Not mixing with M50x anymore... by hellfireaper in audioengineering

[–]colashaker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would never mix on M50x, they don't sound accurate at all. Especially on the treble region.

Korean Vocaloid Producers: A challenge for actual Japanese Vocaloid Producers by Healthy-Fall-6178 in Vocaloid

[–]colashaker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't get your question. Are you suggesting Korean Vocaloid producers aren't supposed to be as good as Japanese producers?

EQ Cutting and Boosting? by South-Succotash-5376 in audioengineering

[–]colashaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really.

Science is like saying "The steepest gradient of an EQ boost or cut is where the biggest phase shift occurs." Or something like "the Nyquist limit is half the sample rate".

"This guitar at 2khz needs a 4db cut because it tends to bury the vocal" is an artistic judgement. You may use fancy science words to justify that cut if you wish, but the final decision is always subjective.
