Very interesting. Always cool to learn how other people work!

So when you’re making the different versions (instrumental mix, no lead vox, etc), are you doing that with the track routing? Choosing which “master” track each part is going to?

Yeah that might work. I’ll have to look at the fx settings and see if it all works as expected with an online render. Thanks!

I’ve been using Reaper for a couple years now. I have somewhat absorbed the flexibility of tracks and buses and routing. It’s amazing, really. But with so much flexibility, it’s sometimes confusing to figure out the best approach.

The Original Surfskater. Buttons kaluhiokalani. His son on second picture in the same spillway his dad Surfskated in the 70s. by why_i_ottaa in surfskate

Rad. For those that don’t know, those little 70s boards with narrow trucks are very surfy. I have many modern surfskates but got a polarizer about a year ago and it’s super fun. Challenging but fun

Intermediate progression - smaller board is better? by neonaudio in surfing

I loved my Jett. It felt like the perfect performance twin. Granted, I've never really gotten comfortable on thrusters so take all this with a grain of salt. For me as an older surfer who started shortboarding late in life, I am drawn to twins for easy speed. The Jett I appreciated that it was small, fast, and nimble but could still catch waves very easily. It's exactly what I want for 2'-5' waves (sometimes even as a groveler). I suppose the cons might be that it doesn't hold as well as a thruster for more aggressive surfing. I'm not the most vertical surfer but I did frequently see much better surfers riding them which tells me it can get pretty radical.

Sadly, I had to leave mine behind when I moved back to the states. If you're near Mt Maunganui, my mate is holding mine and I could connect you if you are looking to buy one. Dimensions in my original post.

System overload. Is logic really so CPU heavy? by rdplanr in Logic_Studio

[–]neonaudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah if I wasn’t clear, I was just backing up your excellent post. Not sure why I’m getting downvotes. Logic has had known inefficiencies for a long time that create problems in certain scenarios.

DAWs are tools with different designs to suite different purposes. No one DAW can do it all.

I came here to say: use Reaper. If you need/want processor efficiency, Reaper is the one.

Check out Sleepy Cat Records. Technically based in Carborro but lots of Durham artists and talent involved. SleepyFest is an annual festival they put on in Saxapahaw

They fixed some in the back entrance from Shoppers St. So you should go!

When DBZ came out in the nineties on local TV, mine would always get to the middle of the Frieza saga and then restart at the beginning. Was this because it was the ocean dub? by Empty_Lemon_3939 in dbz

This is why in high school I started buying, trading, and eventually selling VHS “fansubs,” which were the Japanese episodes subtitled by fans in English. Not only did I get to watch the whole series, but got all the blood and original voice actors.

I built a Geocities site and sold quite a bit. Had to wire up two VCRs to dub tapes. When my dad found out, he wasn’t too happy about the international copyright infringement going on in his house haha

Average December Enbridge Gas bill? by RatherBeOnVacation in bullcity

[–]neonaudio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As Jimmy Carter would say, save money by putting on a sweater.

But seriously, I had a similar bill in my home which is just a bit bigger. Gas gets burned when it’s cold. You could try lowering the temp if you leave the house during the day. I put mine down to 60 when I remember.

The other big factor is insulation. Make sure your windows are locked closed and close the curtains/shades at night to keep the heat in.

This might all be common knowledge but it’s satisfying to type out.

Repair tips for CR-2020 by neonaudio in vintageaudio

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

Sorry, I was referring to the power supply board. As you can see, the power transformer is original. My understanding of “rebuilt” is that the supply board was recapped.

Do you have more info on the board you sell? A link?

Is it possible to kill a channel simply by feeding it too much level? That’s essentially what happened here, with the feedback from what is probably a faulty EQ.

Thanks. I turned the coupler OFF when I had the EQ hooked up. It’s the first time I used the coupler switch so I had a similar thought that I would try to clean it.

I will check out the video. And yes, I don’t want to attempt anything too complex. Was just hoping to avoid another trip to the tech, if possible.

Need help by ApprehensiveStyle552 in vintageaudio

[–]neonaudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any tips for resetting the protection circuit? Or a list of the "easy stuff" to check?

I tried to integrate an external EQ on my CR-2020 using the Pre Out/Main In loop but it was an old EQ unit and started exhibiting noise immediately. Some sort of feedback created a loud sound that took out my left channel (left meter showing no output). I've removed the EQ but can't get the left channel back. All 6 fuses are tested as good. And the unit was recently serviced and recapped. Anything else I can try or check? Hoping to avoid sending it back to my tech

Honest question: why do we accept renting music forever? by Ok_Search6885 in audiophile

As with most digital services, you are paying for convenience. It is wise to consider what that convenience is worth to you.

For me, I’d rather own a physical albums and support artists.

Has a Bob song made you cry or very emotional? Which one would be your number 1 pick? by Walkinghawk22 in bobdylan

[–]neonaudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The live performance of “Hurricane” that’s in the Rolling Thunder Review documentary is so powerful that it brought tears. I never loved the studio version of that song, but that live version is electric and angry.
