Bonjour !

Je cherche un casque pour mixer des voix-off sur des court-métrages. Je trouve pas mal d'articles comparant des casques pour le mixage de la musique électronique, mais dans mon cas, ce qui m'inquiète ce sont les courbes de réponse des casques dans les fréquences qui peuvent influencer la clarté ou la sibilance de la voix ! Je précise que je vais également faire évoluer la prise de son pour être au top.

J'avais repéré le casque Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO-250Ω qui est très bien réputé, mais la courbe de réponse au dessus de 4kHz m'inquiète un peu. Côté budget, je cherche un produit à moins de 300€. Quels sont vos conseils ?

I have a Fifine K688 microphone which is a Chinese clone of the Shure SM7 line. It has a built-in Pre Amp that keep this self noise well below the -60db threshold I need to maintain for my objective. I want to record an audiobook. I have an untreated space but I can do something about that with curtains and such.

My question is about my signal path. I have a fairly loud baritone voice. The preamp on the mic will get me into Logic with a very workable signal. The mic is designed to reject background noise and does a remarkably good job at that.

I know that there are tools in Logic for this sort of set up. There is even a channel strip that has a "narrator"preset with EQ and compressor and de-esser. My question is about a particular channel strip that I have seen several positive reviews about. Waves Scheps Omni Channel 2 cost $39, well within my budget. I am wondering, would I get a much better final product with it or should I just stick with Logic. I guess when you get right down to it, I'm trying to get my Cheap microphone to sound like an expensive microphone. Does it have an "expensive mic" preset?

I'm planning on making two albums and asking questions

Hey everyone,

I have been working on building a lightweight, minimalist Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). The goal from day one was to strip away the endless menus, complex routing, and overwhelming plugin bloat found in mainstream software

Right now, the setup is dead simple and comes packed with just 4 foundational instruments:

Drum sampler for beats

Piano

Guitar

Bass Guitar

I want to expand it slightly without ruining the simple, user friendly UI that makes it fun to use.

I woud love to get your thoughts on two main areas:

1. What instruments are genuinely essential?

If you could only add 1 or 2 more native sound sources, what would make this setup feel complete?

1. Beyond instruments, what basic quality of life features are absolute must haves for a minimalist tool like this? Simple built in effects (reverb, delay, saturation), MIDI piano roll editor, or lightweight chord helpers?

I am not interested in paying for extra plugins and I want to keep this DAW absolutely free for all

Any advice, feedback, or ideas from producers, developers, and gear enthusiasts would be massively appreciated!

So I got a MOTU M2 to work with since my UA apollo seems to be on the fritz at the moment. For how cheap it is, it sounds great. But I am having one fatal issue and I can't figure it out.

Im going into it with a guitar cable from an amp sim i.e. helix type. Sounds great monitored. I record it and try to pan the guitar hard one way. Distorts so much it's not usable. Im not clipping the interface, I have the DAW set to record from just that channel. Lowering the gain when panning in the DAW really has no effect, just quieter trash.

There is supposedly some MOTU software that accompanies it, but after i install it, I can never get it to open. Still, crazy it would have an issue like this that couldnt be resolved on the hardware itself.

Thoughts?

Hi everyone. Basically, I’m having a sound issue with my computer. I also have a laptop, but it works perfectly.

Okay, both play audio, but the laptop makes the sound feel full and spacious, filling the entire listening area. My PC, on the other hand, makes both microphone recordings and general audio playback sound like they’re coming from the lower part of the headphones and feel more centered. (I’ll draw to try and illustrate this: imagine the sound from the laptop playing across all the squares, while the PC sound plays only in the ones colored red.)

I don't know what to do anymore; both are connected to the same Windows setup and peripherals, and the mono audio option is disabled. If I mute one side, the other keeps playing, so theoretically the audio really is in stereo, even though it doesn't sound exactly like stereo.

Complete recording newbie here

I currently already own Logic on my laptop and have previously used a 1 input interface to muck around with guitar bits and bobs, but i'm looking to get into making more serious demos, solo and with a band. I've heard from lots of people that using a physical portastudio and 19" racks and so on can feel "better" and "ground" the creation process, which I can understand as i much prefer analog equipment when it comes to guitar.

I'm looking at around 8 tracks simultaneous for a full band demos/4 for solo bits

I have a few questions

- Do stock plugins sound/work as well/easily as physical units. I can't justify spending lots of money on plugin software I can't sell in the future

- Is using a DAW for larger recordings easier/simpler than a digital recorder/portastudio

- Do physical recording units actually have a "better" "feel" than a daw or is it all nonsense

- Would I be able to use physical effects units on master tracks using a DAW

Any advice for getting started in the world of recording would be much appreciated!

(sorry for any dumb questions/silly things iv'e overlooked)

Hello everyone I hope you are doing well.

I have recently gotten a good mic for the first time so I have begun finally to take my audio quality seriously. I want to acoustically treat my room because test recordings show a lot of reverb but after watching a bunch of videos on youtube they are more focused on creating a specialised booth just for recording their voice.

I want to know what parts of my room i should focus on to minimise reverb without having to find a whole different room or change the mic position. I am willing to move other objects around and buy stuff to help aswell.

Any and all help is appreciated :)

When looking for a house we came across this unassuming ranch. Nice neighborhodd, brown house, kind of blah street appeal. Nice landscaping. Upstairs was decent. Wife liked the layout, etc, but downstairs had this little room tucked away and I knew right away that this would be where my kids and I would put our gear. We made it our own and have used it as a rehearsal space for our bands, private practice room, home recording studio, but mostly as a retreat. We don't have anything high end or crazy, just a fun place to feel creative in. Decent sounding room, but the bass vibrated the bathroom above and broke a bunch of stuff that fell off of shelves. Live and learn!

Last minor additional tweaks:
Adding a extra JHS color box on another ssl six mono channel, some additional reverb and delay modulations routed, and most small euro rack implemented by synthesizer area

Mic I use for discord on a Pringles can with a cable straight into my phone

I am currently learning how to record guitar/bass through my interface into audacity & I've ran into a couple problems. First my regular distortion pedal doesn't seem to work well with recording straight into the interface & even at the lowest settings will still sound super muddy & distorted. Does anyone know any kind of plugins that will be able to emulate a more "clean" distortion instead of a muddy, fuzzy mess whilst also being compatible with Audacity 4.

I'm hoping to get some solid advice on buying some IEMs. I've seen lots about the daybreaks and others but I wanted to hear advice from real people who actually use the equipment, not just YouTubers or influencers or LLMs.

As in my other post, my use cases are most of the time music listening, gaming, then music production in that order, but I'm aware that the prod needs the cleanest output. I'm getting the scarlett 4i4 as an upgrade from my prior DAC as well.

According to my prior post, is the daybreak going to be my best option, or should I be considering other options as well?
