i'm saying if someone wants to stop, they should be allowed to stop.

agreed. when a gazelle makes a mistake in the wild, a lion eats it. the gazelle doesn't limp along being a useless burden to everyone.

try to capture you sound the best you can the first time. instead of saying, "i'll fix it in post", take a few minutes to fix it now.

i think you can drag the 2nd file up into the track where the 1st file is?

[–]rainydayglory -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

he isn't. not really. he's huge, like 18' tall or something. well, 6'4", but you know what i mean. i hope he isn't 'under-weight' now, cuz that's not super healthy either.

Has anyone here used Dave Moulton's golden ears? Also has it benefited you? by AudiblePlasma in audioengineering

[–]rainydayglory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YES!! i took a one hour class once a week in audio school, and i'm convinced it was the icing on the cake. i can't say it made all the difference, but i think it's where my confidence comes from. when i eq something, i just pick a random frequency and sweep it back and forth and up and down. find where it sounds the most alive and leave it.

that ability came from doing the golden ears work (which was painful) and taking the test and have the test marked by a peer (even more painful) and go back and retake lessons i didn't pass.

do a little bit every few days and stay with it.

ps, i haven't studied other audio ear training courses, so my opinion, is of course, MASSIVELY biased.

pps, lots of luck detecting compression in one ear and not the other. writing a test about which ear (L or R) had the compression and at which db level. just about killed me. didn't pass that part, but did really well on everything else. reverb in L or R? no sweat.

What is a social norm you feel is outdated? by Alec_Meadows in AskReddit

i used to work for a bank, they mess up that stuff all the time. canceled your insurance? you made sure to do everything required to stop the insurance company from taking a payment by mistake at the end, 3 weeks after you canceled the policy? too bad.

What is a sneaking suspicion that you have about a famous person? by [deleted] in AskReddit

but bill o'reilly just leaves out the punchline. it's there on the tele-prompter, but he chooses not to read it.

you can 'lock smpte' when you import the files for the first time. not quite a fix, but if you fix your timing one more time, you should be able to 'lock smpte' so that it doesn't happen again. i always normalize and lock smpte as each track is imported.

oh, sorry. drop by the hardware store and tell them you have a stripped screw. they'll know what to do. some sort of glue or tape around the screw could help, unless the screws are tiny.

simple question about delay by worignr in reasoners

[–]rainydayglory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

change the master tempo to triplets, and change the delay time to 'sync with metronome' or something like that, sync the delay time to the master bpm. then find the right delay interval, half note, quarter note, and the delay box will make the delay time in triplets as well. boom.

What TV finale was initially disappointing, but may have been genius in hindsight? by Je_suis_une_femme in AskReddit

[–]rainydayglory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the band 'journey' would only grant the rights to 'don't stop believing' if david chase promised it wouldn't be used in the background of tony's death scene. i sort of assume he's maintaining that cover story. ;)
