looking to gender bend my vocals.

I am trying to find a pedal or fx processor that will let me change my voice to female. I guess, gender bending pitch? I dont use DAWs, I use a tascam 8 track so would need to run the mic into the pedal and from there into my multitrack. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Comparing Black Lion Audio Patchbay vs. Samson S-Patch Plus

I haven’t seen much head to head stuff on these two. I own 5 Samson’s and figured I should try the BLA PBR TRS, because I don’t seem to ever have enough patch points. (See Analog Gear Addiction).

Made a quick vid illustrating similarities and differences, along with which one works better in my studio.

Hope it’s useful to somebody.

I have 2 Tascam PB patchbays can I use them for inserts between my EQ and Tascam m-106 insert inputs?

I was wondering if I connect a TRS from my EQ>Tascam Pb patchbay>Tascam-106 Channel (1-6) insert would it work? My question is can you do inserts via the tascam patchbays?

What's a piece of gear that you can't live without?

Snooping around for deals and I got curious about other people's setups, what kind of music do you make and why is this piece of gear essential for you? I only have a scarlett and a few mics, I'm hoping to better prepare for the next couple months as I want to release my music this time for sure next year, and if you can would you link your music to give me an idea of what you're doing with the gear?

Multitrack machine

I want to record some songs. Guitar, drum, bass. In 1993 I would have bought a ‘cheap’ cassette Tascam 4 track portastudio. What is the lo-fi, budget machine today?

Excite Audio - Bloom VSTs making any sense?

Maybe it's me.... I'm playing with some of the Bloom series VSTs, like the Palette Objects but can't really make any musical sense from it. I get it - it's samples, loops, parts, patterns, sequencer....

Is it just me? I can't see using these in any type of song. They don't really fit into hip hop or electronic and they're not practical enough for indie, rock or pop.

Audio Interface to USB iPhone

I'm trying to record audio on my iPhone via my PreSonus Studio 24c audio interface and keep my phone charged while doing so. I did it successfully with my old iPhone 11 Pro using an Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter, but Apple's switch to USB C has thrown me for a loop.

What do I need to connect my audio interface to my USB C iPhone and charge it at the same time?

Jam space improvement ideas?

My band has slowly been creating a space to write and record music. The room is about 12 x 15. Looking for suggestions to improve the functionality, ambience, and, most importantly, the sound diffusing properties of the space. I am installing a few 2x4 acoustic panels somewhere on the along the walls soon. Any new ideas / discussion would be appreciated.

Time to update my monitors! Just need crisp, big and bright for Cubase! No gaming!!!

Was looking at getting two AOC - CU34G2XP 34" VA Curved monitors. Thing is, I never do any gaming, just recording with Cubase. I did have a Samsung monitor that looked great, but one shut down for no reason and never powered up again. It was crisp compared to my LG which always has a little odd blur to the graphics and drives me insane. Would the AOC be overkill for what I do? Do I need a TV monitor like this? Would a PC monitor be cheaper yet have the same crisp quality? Can I ask any more questions???

Blueprint vs Spitfire

I was curious how the free Blueprint Collection by Fracture Sounds compares to the free Spitfire Labs sounds and couldn’t find a video comparing the two, so I made one myself.

VO/Vocal people: have you seen this from Ikea? Your take

It's a Focus Workstation from the Mittzon line. I'm wondering if this might work as a voice booth. They've also got acoustic screens for existing desks. Probably a little expensive for some of you, but I'm curious if this is the kind of thing you'd find handy.

Mic recommendations for acoustic guitar

I record singer songwriter stuff via a Scarlett Solo with two audio inputs - one XLR and one 1/4 TRS. I have a Shure mic I like for capturing my voice that is plugged into the XLR. I’m looking for a recommendation for a decent mic for capturing acoustic guitar that I can plug into the TRS jack. Depending on the time of day I am recording, I deal with a fair amount of traffic noise, so having something with a unidirectional recording pattern is important. Thanks for the advice.

How to improve my recording?

just got my Tascam DR 05 to record singing bowls. It's picking up the singing bowl sounds much better than the Rode microphone I have but when I listen to the recording there's still some low noise and static behind. How do I remove it in post or what settings would I have to use to improve the sound? https://youtu.be/aOJvzoFPP0Q

Thanks

Headphone/Monitor Switching recs?

I record using Logic Pro and find myself constantly going into settings to switch the output from my interface (headphones) to my studio monitors. Does anyone have a quicker & easier solve for this, or good recommendations for hardware to easily switch between the two?

Simple digital multitrack rec9rding workstation?

I'm hoping for some advice.
My son is 10 going on 25... A naturally gifted musician and loves to play and tinker with some web based production tools.

I'd really like to find a relatively simple to use portable, digital multitrack recording / device.

Imagine the modern equivalent of the 4 track cassette recorders.

Something easy to use, maybe a few onboard effects and that sort of thing. the ability to plug into our computer would be a bonus but I'd prefer something that can run standalone would be ideal.

Bonus points for budget friendliness, simplicity of use and durability.

It didn't need to knock out studio albums or be perfect. Just something to give him the ability to start to learn some creative techniques and find his groove..

Many thanks!

first mic recommendations?

i wanna ask for a mic for christmas. ideally one that’d work well for recording acoustic guitar, vocals, and be usable to perform live with but if it just records well, i’d be happy with that. basically the most versatile mic in the $80-$120 price range.

Live recording: Archimedes’ Lament

Recorded live into a Zoom R 24 using a phantom powered MXL V 900, a TC helicon vocal mic and a tiny bit of the two onboard mics from the R 24. No pre or post EQ…flat. Trying to get an intimate and unprocessed sound for this one.

Most of what you hear is the V 900 with some of the vocal Mic added in for focus and very little of the room mics. It’s an untreated wet live room, not square with a jogged wall and a hallway that acts as a bass trap. I mixed down from the board onto a single track in GarageBand for export using the lead vocal setting where I added a tiny bit of compression and a little bit more room reverb.

Still working on the studio…I have to seal the drywall gaps and subfloor, add floating drywall & quiet walk to the floor then another floating plank floor and metal doors…then I can add the French cleats for the sound panels.

Plugs in ceiling for lights and projectors. Wiring is all cat6…so I can use audio or PTZ cameras. 48 channels go to the “total control room” 32 of which go to the wet room and 16 go downstairs for the other mic room and drum room expansion.
