Re: Making Music Fill Speakers

Yes. You just record it to a new file, THROUGH Jamin, exporting a new file just like you do when you're mixing.

Re: Making Music Fill Speakers

So to use JAMin on previously recorded tracks in Ardour: 1. I open a new Ardour session. 2. I reimport an exported .wav of all the tracks or individual tracks from the previously recorded session. 3. Insert JAMin into the MASTER bus and then hit record again to an empty JAMin track??? This is where...

Re: Noise floor in a home studio- what is reasonable to expe

Most mics don't cause floor noise. I have plenty of mics from the 25 to 100 dollar range. Some cheap mics sound great others not so much. You would be hard pressed to find one that is causing noise. Ummm, NO. If you look at a microphone's specs, you will see something called SELF NOISE. They most c...

Limiting will definitely make it louder.

Jamin has both of those, plus an EQ.

Re: Making Music Fill Speakers

But if you don't know how to use a tool like Jamin, you will probably do more harm than good to your mix. Does any one know of a good Jamin tutorial? Search for some mastering tutorials. I have seen a ton of them on the tube of you. The programs will be a little different, but they are all essentia...

Re: Making Music Fill Speakers

I have tried to open Ardour exported .wav 's of my mixed tracks and it doesn't see them in JAMin when I go to open nothing shows up. Is there a certain file I need to pull from Ardour? Like a special session file instead of the .wav? Jamin is NOT a standalone app that can import audio on its own. I...

Re: Recording classical guitar

It's not the room.

It's the instrument combined with the mic, combined with the technique he is using (and maybe a little bit of the player).

Re: Making Music Fill Speakers

Can I use Jamin on already recorded tracks? Would I just export the mix I have now to a WAV and import to JAMin? Yes, you can use Jamin on already recorded tracks. Since it is essentially a mastering tool, it is often used on already mixed stereo tracks. I import the track I want to master into a n...

Re: Making Music Fill Speakers

Mastering typically raises the perceived volume of the material, in addition to doing some other things. So if it is volume you want, sure, a tool like Jamin will do that. It has a 3-band, multi-band compressor in it, an EQ, and the ability to add harmonics. But if you don't know how to use a tool l...

Re: Making Music Fill Speakers

Hi all. I have done the recording using Ardour for guitar and bass portions. I use the meter to get the sound to about -3 or 2. But when I play the song in my car or in stereo it doesn't appear to have the same volume or fill that stuff on the radio does. When I turn up the Master mix it usually cl...

Re: And now...

Jeff, all I have on my boxes right now is Linux. I refuse to make Bill Gates and Steve Jobs' ghost any wealthier.

I had to figure your email out, BTW. The one you show in the graphic on your web page is incorrect.

Glad to see you're doing some linux plugin development.
