Just a little fun testing stuff. No Soundcheck was done before recording, put up some mics (2 x Behringer C2) for recording some vocals and the Yamaha Cx40, plugged in the Ibanez AS73 into the Katana connect via USB to the computer, and just recorded straight into Ardour. Recordings where done at 96...

Your are right but I did look at the waterfall and spectrogram (always fun to play with REW), zoomed in on dB and frequency. But I have to except I don't have the budget nor space to get a perfect situation (and even if I had both, perfection is hard to achieve in audio). It all looks like a system ...

I'm still in the process finding my way regarding DAW's on Linux (I have experience with Pro Tools and Ableton though). For now I'm watching tutorials and testing Ardour and Reaper. If you are mostly recording & mixing real audio, Mixbus is really one to consider. They are running discounts nea...

Hi. Welcome aboard. If you are really tight for space and finance don't underestimate the value of a good pair of headphones. Thanks for the welcome. I don't underestimate the value of headphones, but they are not a replacement for monitors. I personally never get a nice stereo image on headphones....

Hi all, New on this forum. I needed to liquidate my old studio gear (almost all analog), move to a cheaper, smaller house. I'm trying to build my new home "studio" the best way possible within a strict budget and room limitations (https://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=23527&a...

I believe you can't go wrong with the Behringer XM8500's. Build quality is great, I believe it's possible clubber one to death with one. They sound great, I don't notice anything weird. Can't do a one to one comparison with the SM58 anymore, but I can say I don't miss a SM58. I am intressted in elec...

Rest of my home "Studio". Interfaces: * UMC404HD (new in my set up): https://i.imgur.com/HqAQO3O.jpg * UMC202HD (used it before for mobile recording) https://i.imgur.com/Ie3RjDq.jpg Both are permantly hooked up. Amplifiers: * Underneath the UMC202HD sits my Vibe Amplification Dolphin 20, t...

And after the monitor speakers, I took some time "upgrading" my computer (after almost 8 years) this morning. * I bought some second hand parts of a friend (Ryzen 7 2700x, Radeon Vega 56 graphics card). * Bought a nice motherboard for really cheap (MSI x470 Gaming Pro). Choice for this boa...

"isn't possible on Win anymore. :wink:" And that is my problem with Windows and Apple, things just don't work anymore if you used something for long enough, and that update of DOOM comes around. Linux is a little bit more flexible in that regard. ---> This info may be handy to people looki...

"If you want to use (Windows) VST'" I have the luxury of building my digital studio from the ground up, and I'm old and wise enough to know that there are always alternatives. I even don't know what windows is, I only know the term windows for those mostly square, see through things build ...

Thanks! It's a bit on the balance for now. As said I had an predominantly analog studio before, I had no more need than Audacity to get things recorded on a computer, and even than I rather used other means (good old fashion tape). But that's all sold and old news. I'm still in the process finding m...

So, I'm building the best possible home studio ... for my budget. First step I made is to buy the following equipment: * 1 Behringer U-Phoria UMC404HD * 1 Behringer ECM8000 measurement microphone * 1 set of Presonus Eris 3.5 After much thought and discussion, I decide for the Eris 3.5 in favor of th...
