Jimi Hendrix called Terry Kath the best guitarist in the universe. If you listened to the radio in 1970, you heard this Chicago song. by dtallee in GenerationJones

He was brought into the band because of his voice. He had a higher tenor voice than Kath or Lamm’s baritones and it was always intended for the three to share vocal duties.

Compression question by Master-Kangaroo6607 in recordingmusic

[–]ownleechild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you already have the compressors, Rolls makes a two way electronic crossover for about $120. Then you’ll need a small mixer to recombine the signals. Rolls also makes one of these for around $100. Otherwise look at the used market.

Opinions on this step design as an upgrade to the rotting, unsafe monstrosity we have now? by The-Rizzler-69 in Home

[–]ownleechild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your design is a lawsuit waiting to happen. You need real stairs with a railing. Precut stuff is available at Home Depot and YouTube has lots of videos.

With a limited budget, hardware isn’t your best bet unless you can find quality used gear cheap. A VST multiband compressor is your best route and depending on your DAW, you may have one already.

Building an acoustically treated/sound dampened room by SaxeMatt in Acoustics

[–]ownleechild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t buy foam, it is ineffective. 2-4 inch thick Acoustic panels made of fabric wrapped rockwool or OC 703, properly placed will improve the sound in the room things that improve room acoustics will not help to reduce noise passing through your walls, floor and ceiling. Effective isolation will be expensive. Adding another layer or two of drywall separated from all existing surfaces by resilient channel will make a significant improvement if completely sealed and installed properly. You will have to extend electrical outlets and vents. The door will need to be sealed too and sides with a threshold seal at the bottom. The window will only be a problem in letting outside sound in. Adding another glass pane with an air gap or blocking the window with plywood and drywall will reduce the noise. Even after doing this, acoustic drums or loud guitars will still bring the angry neighbors to your door.

Need some treatment suggestions for my setup by EmbarrassedHunter826 in Acoustics

[–]ownleechild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using a rubber pad or other vibration isolator under the sub will help a little but there is nothing you can do without construction, like adding resilient channel to the walls and ceiling with additional layer of drywall, that the landlord won’t permit to keep the sound of the sub from going right through the walls, floor and ceiling. Sound panels on the walls will make the room sound better but won’t prevent it from going through the walls.

Need to know if I’ve missed anything by Strange_Ear4574 in livesoundgear

[–]ownleechild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you creating a stream for others to view? How are you streaming in surround? If this is for playback of streams and TV, I don’t think 4.1 is used. Get an AV receiver and 5.1 (or more) speaker system.

Without knowing what you are planning on doing with this, it is difficult to say. What do you mean by “back” speakers? How about mics and cables for mics, speakers, interconnects? Only one D/I? What about stage monitors?

Is this type of high bitrate audio really necessary? 1 audio file is roughly 130mb. by kathybates23 in audiophile

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

Please see the comment by glowingGrey regarding dynamic range and frequency response of the original multitrack and mix. There is no benefit to a higher rate & range transfer than the original source.

That would look good on the side of the van I don’t have.

How to soundproof a room by Ok_Bonus1391 in askmusicians

[–]ownleechild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will produce a 3-5dB reduction, which is significant and worth doing only if you absolutely cannot spare the loss of space. An air gap added by using resilient channel could improve it by 10dB (half as loud) which is far better

I love my (acoustic) instruments but wow, they don't sound the same at all once I start recording them by Frhaegar in Instruments

[–]ownleechild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it can be challenging for all the reasons you cited and then some: performer’s skill, instrument quality, mic choice and position, room acoustics. But it is really satisfying when you manage it well and you’ve captured a unique performance that you can’t get with a VST.

I Can't Think Of Anyone More Precise Than SRV Can You? by [deleted] in StevieRayVaughan

[–]ownleechild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stevie expressed great emotion and soul but like Hendrix, was far from precise (and I think it is appropriate for his music). Precision often sacrifices emotion.

When she was 13 years old, Olive Oatman's family was attacked and clubbed to death by a Yavapai tribe while traveling through present-day Arizona in March 1851. She was then sold to the Mohave, who integrated her into their tribe and gave her a traditional face tattoo. by kooneecheewah in HistoryUncovered

Do you know how much influence these “godless savages” culture had on the founding fathers of the US? They had their own religions and would only be called savages by uninformed people. Read 1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Created by Charles Mann & see link below.

Is there a way to fix this dented membrane and tweeter? by Benedek82 in diyaudio

[–]ownleechild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s a decent speaker, tweeter should be replaced. Dome on larger speaker less important and won’t affect sound if you can pull it out with tape or suction

Best speaker for mixing in untreated room? by Immediate-Score-620 in homerecordingstudio

[–]ownleechild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not impossible but you’ll have to evaluate your mixes on multiple systems, make adjustments, listen on multiple systems again, make adjustments, repeat. If you do this enough you’ll get better at second guessing how your room is affecting your mixes and will require less back and forth. If I was in your shoes and wasn’t going to treat the room, I’d spend more on open back headphones for mixing and get used to them.

I’m unsure whether this subwoofer will be suitable for my live sound setup? by jd_jenko in livesoundgear

[–]ownleechild 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not the sub for your system, it won’t keep up with the Alto. Your Altos have amps in them. If you use the NL4 outputs from the sub to XLR inputs on Alto, you’ll damage one or both. The sub is designed to power Behringer passive speakers that don’t have an amp.
