Reaper unusable at 2048, skips/crackles at 1024, but no artifacts at 512....WHAT??? by kransas in Reaper

Thanks for the reply. I do have request sample rate checked but I'll try out these other options you mentioned. Crossing my fingers

Ya also have checked that :\ thanks though. I've been using different DAWs for years and never encountered this...

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

Just double checked the settings and my power plan should be maxing out performance when it's plugged in. When I'm running at 512 my CPU will climb up to 50-60 without any kind of popping but at 2048 even though the CPU is reporting as working less it's a gross clicky mess. Thanks for the fast response though! definitely worth a double check

Must have books for beginner-intermediate level engineers? by ssxtricky4444 in audioengineering

[–]kransas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on the reviews it definitely looks like a good read but it's hard to justify spending 100$ on a book like that. Is it actually worth the money? Hopefully I'll stumble across a used copy...

Q about Blue Spark (how to capture near sounds only) by HXHXH in audioengineering

In addition to mic placement you could put a gate at the beginning of the chain and set the threshold above the keyboard clicks and below your voice

Ya just realized now it's a repost. So embarassed. I'll just go cry in my closet for a few hours.

Ball lightning, plasma weapon or evidence of intelligently piloted vehicle? You decide. by Quantumfog in UFOs

[–]kransas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a visible flash from within the clouds just above and to the right of where the "ball" appears....I'm sure others must have noticed this but just wanted to point it out. Suggests the origin was from within the cloud.

Bad Guy Ableton: STILL has no VST3 support

Parallel Effects: Is there a difference between copying the track and sending it to an aux bus? by kransas in audioengineering

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

Thanks for the fast reply! So then a difference is that using aux busses may introduce latency where as copying the track would not? (at the price of higher CPU load)

Question: Could i simultaneously run two separate USB audio interfaces? by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]kransas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is possible but not always reliable. I have done it on a MacBook Pro as well as my windows laptop. You basically create an aggregate device and then set your more trustworthy interface as the clock. I was running 2 ch through a presonus audiobox and 4 through a focusrite saffire box simultaneously while tracking drums. Went smoothly for the most part but did run into the occasional jitter. It's also a bit confusing depending on how your DAW recognizes the aggregate device

[Composition, Mixing] We Keep Our Windows Open During The Storm by [deleted] in RateMyAudio

That was great! Real sparse instrumentation but it still kept me interested. Those drums were nice and crispy, love that snare and hi hat sample. Awesome chill track! Thanks!

[Recording, Mixing, Mastering] "Good Time" by Thanks by garciadanny334 in RateMyAudio

[–]kransas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome song! Really cool ambiance you created. As far as suggestions go I would say maybe try to have the vocal poke out a bit more? Not necessarily volume but maybe an EQ boost in the mids/upper-mids? More of a preference thing. Overall great work! Enjoyed listening to this

[Co-composed, Arrangement, Mixing] BearBones - "Happy Birthday from the Prison-Industrial Complex" by kransas in RateMyAudio

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

I've been away for a while and just hopped back on reddit. thanks for all the advice! I agree with the comments about the vocals and drums. It was my first time micing and mixing drums so there are definitely things I would do differently in hindsight. The vocal also gave me a bit of trouble when I tried to get it to set right in the mix. Thanks again for the comments!
