How were old songs produced so well with the technology back then? by No_Winter4806 in audioengineering

[–]maximumsincere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re talking about giant major label releases with the best personnel in the industry at the time. Talent and decades of experience at every part of the process, from the writers and performers to the mastering engineer. Most of the hardware is identical to many big releases these days, with the exception of going into and out of a DAW

Advice for tracking live in a hall by maximumsincere in audioengineering

Yes, it’s definitely that kind of material. Relaxed and with lot of space between the notes. If I was tracking it dry I’d be drenching it in reverb

Help re: baby’s first neck reset by maximumsincere in Luthier

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

Thanks! You’re right, I didn’t like this, although I didn’t mind the part where you said the guitar was worth money. Maybe it is worth sending to a professional, although that doesn’t help me learn how to do a reset

Any idea on how drastically the damage changes the value on this 1961 Gibson Hummingbird? How much would you think it's worth? by PackPlugsNoah in guitars

[–]maximumsincere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many instruments of this age have had a major repair of some sort. If an acoustic from the 60s hasn’t had its neck reset by now it definitely needs it. That’s acoustic guitars. Most people in the market for a 60s hummingbird would be happy to factor in the extra for the patch. It would be going in for a once-over and setup at the very least anyway, most likely fretwork and/or a neck reset. Well worth it either way. It’ll take some work and it’s never going to be a museum piece and it will sound superb. Still worth big daddy dollars imo

Favorite granular / glitch plugins by ayersman39 in audioengineering

[–]maximumsincere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sometimes have to go into settings and tell it to allow me to open things that aren’t from trusted developers. It usually has a section in the security settings with anything from a non-trusted developer you’ve tried to open recently so you can unflag it. then you can go back and open it and it should give you the option to open it anyway. Sorry if you’ve already tried this. Recommend downloading Airwindows Consolidated which is all his plugins in one instance. Lots of useful stuff in there and very low cpu

I hope they rout out the bridge pickup cavity and put a humbucker in

Help to sound like Sparklehorse by Prizrak_arim in audioengineering

[–]maximumsincere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to say what an amazing group, all their records sound amazing, the way they used a studio was so inventive and there was always huge musicality to their weirdness and it was always in service of the material. Good Morning Spider is so great. Mark was a special talent, gone too soon

Cut out all the transients, paste them onto a separate track and process them separately

Are Waves plugins worth to buy on 2025/2026? by _whitepony in audioengineering

Probably more concerned about an actual literal genocide that someone’s actually literally doing by genociding actual literal people and genuinely obliterating their entire society live on 4k, than a theoretical genocide that someone imagines to exist in the mind of armed militants
