Aaron Brick — אהרן בריקI've ended up owning three midcentury acetate or aluminum 12" records, which are one-and-done field recordings, too weird and fragile to keep with my music collection. They are unique but carry very little metadata.

Eric 🇨🇦Finally got the basement DAW recording area up and running after a couple weeks of finding a new computer. The last day trying to get the Scarlett 4i4 to work. Installed the wrong version drivers. Duh. Problem solved. I just about gave up and plugged in the Audient iD4. Also upgraded from Tracktion Waveform 8 to 13. Major learning curve. Put down a few test guitar tracks. Still gotta install some plugins. <a href="https://c.im/tags/guitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#guitar</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/recording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#recording</a>

Eric 🇨🇦Got my DAW basement recording area torn apart right now as I just bought a newer used computer. Replacing my old ex-gov’t i5 desktop w/16GB RAM for a newer and faster i7. The local fellow I bought this desktop from just had it custom built for his music production, but he’s switched over to MAC so didn’t need it anymore. He’s an Emmy award musician and producer; written music for over 4000 TV episodes and film scores. The computer’s a good step up for me. Here’s some of the specs.Intel Core i7-5930K @ 3.5GHz — 6 cores / 12 threads (LGA 2011-v3), 64GB DDR4 RAM, 750GB storage, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti, Universal Audio QUAD Core DSP Card (PCIe).Don’t have a clue what the Universal Audio device is. It has a whole whack of plugins in the folder.Got it for $250 and so far it runs great. Doing the file transfer and software install thing now. And cleaning up the recording area a bit too. <a href="https://c.im/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/recording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#recording</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tech</a>

RicardusI just did an Aliexpress order for some mic capsule mounts. I found some nice ones made in China, and I'm saving about $22 per mount compared to the place I was getting them from.I'd like to sell some FET847 mics, which are large diaphragm condensors made using the classic Neumann KM84 amplifier circuit.They're almost like mini U87's since the U87i circuit was based on the KM84 circuit.Here's what the first one I built looks like.<a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Mics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/CondenserMics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CondenserMics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Neumann" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Neumann</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Recording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Recording</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Ausio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ausio</a>

Eric 🇨🇦Got my new blues tune up. Guitars are Telecaster (L) and Danelectro 59M through the EHX B9 organ pedal (R). Bass is Fender p-bass. Harp is Hohner Special 20 B flat. I’m capo’d at the first fret on guitars, and through Keeley compressor. Harp and Tele are both through MXR Timmy. Drums are MT Power Drum kit sampler. I also tracked a Latin percussion shaker. Mics are Apex 550 for vocals and an Apex 327 for harp. Inspiration for the song came from Dylan’s version of Axe and the Wind. <a href="https://c.im/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/blues" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#blues</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/guitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#guitar</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/bass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bass</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/recording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#recording</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/war" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#war</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/songwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#songwriting</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/gearsquad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gearsquad</a> <a href="https://youtu.be/72GYFodn9M0" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/72GYFodn9M0</a>

JWcph, Radicalized By DecencyOK, once per drum plugin I guess 😝 Like, I either have to have the exact same MIDI mapping for all drumset plugins - which, yes, would also be a good idea, but since all kits & drum machines don't have the same instrument set it doesn't seem feasible - or I should have a multitrack drum template for each plugin... It's actually pretty easy to set up though, I'll probably just do it for each as I use them 😁<a href="https://helvede.net/@jwcph/114755392798422677" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://helvede.net/@jwcph/114755392798422677</a> <a href="https://helvede.net/tags/BedroomProducer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BedroomProducer</a> <a href="https://helvede.net/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://helvede.net/tags/recording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#recording</a> <a href="https://helvede.net/tags/Reaper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Reaper</a>

JWcph, Radicalized By DecencyThe approach does seem to require that the drumkit is <a href="https://helvede.net/tags/MIDI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MIDI</a> mapped so all the toms, snares & cymbals etc. are in sequence on the keyboard, which they very much aren't by default in MT Power Drumkit & as with most plugins I've tried, MIDI learn is both easy & not at the same time... 😝 thanks to the template option I should only have to do this once tho 😁<a href="https://helvede.net/@jwcph/114754836159980656" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://helvede.net/@jwcph/114754836159980656</a> <a href="https://helvede.net/tags/BedroomProducer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BedroomProducer</a> <a href="https://helvede.net/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://helvede.net/tags/recording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#recording</a>

JWcph, Radicalized By DecencyNo, seriously, check out this approach to recording MIDI drums to separate tracks, while still being able to edit them as one MIDI item - you can even save it as a template. Seems pretty dang useful to me, gonna set up a template with MT Power Drumkit later today I think... 😁<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i1ZaO9CR6I" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i1ZaO9CR6I</a> <a href="https://helvede.net/tags/BedroomProducer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BedroomProducer</a> <a href="https://helvede.net/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://helvede.net/tags/recording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#recording</a> <a href="https://helvede.net/tags/Reaper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Reaper</a> <a href="https://helvede.net/@jwcph/114748243205937595" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://helvede.net/@jwcph/114748243205937595</a>
