How well can you hear #audio quality?
This page gives each of six audio samples in three formats: 320KBPS #mp3, 128KBPS MP3, and uncompressed WAV. You are supposed to listen to all three, and pick which one you think is highest quality. It then shows you which clip was which. Refreshing the page re-shuffles the clips.

The Black Sails theme is an eternal banger and was one of the highlights of the show every night. My mastered board mix from the Chicago stop of Bear McCreary's Themes and Variations tour. Sorry for the iffy camerawork, it's hard to mix and film at the same time. https://youtu.be/vEbk1-Re8tg #livesound #mixing #blacksails

I never knew these small PC's existed until Amazon pointed them out to me. Super compact, proper PC's with lots of ports and video outs. Before I got let go from my job 2 Decembers ago I was going to save up for a PC, and bring a friend to Micro Center and have him hand pick the components, and build me a super audio computer. Now I don't have that kind of money, but one of these properly equipped would certainly do the job.

Pour-Over Physics

Fluids labs are filled with many a coffee drinker, and even those (like me) who don’t enjoy coffee, can find plenty of fascinating physics in their labmates’ mugs. Espresso has received the lion’s share of the research in recent years, but a new study looks at the unique characteristics of a pour-over coffee. In this technique, coffee grounds sit in a conical filter and a stream of hot water pours over the top of the grounds. Researchers found that the ideal pour creates a powerful mixing environment in a coffee-studded water layer that sits above a V-shaped bed of grains created by the falling water jet.

The best mixing, they find, requires a pour height no greater than 50 centimeters (to prevent the jet from breaking into drops) but with enough height that the falling jet stirs up the grounds. You also want to pour slowly enough to give plenty of time for mixing, without letting the jet stick to the kettle’s spout, which (again) causes the jet to break up.

That ideal pour extracts more coffee flavor from the grounds, allowing you to get the same strength of brew from fewer beans. As climate change makes coffee harder to grow, coffee drinkers will want every trick to stretch their supply. (Image credit: S. Satora; research credit: E. Park et al.; via Ars Technica)

Hey #foh #AudioEngineer crowd,

I'm looking for a reliable stand-alone sound meter when mixing live shows

I don't do shows all year long, but I'd like to have something that is reliable but also affordable. The shows are starting to be mid-sized and I'd like to add this to my arsenal

Would like to order from Germany and not Amazon. Found this one, any good? https://de.trotec.com/produkte-services/messgeraete/emission/schallpegel-messgeraete/sl400-schallpegel-messgeraet/

Some days I'm blissfully unconcerned by my lack of music production knowledge, experience and ability as I charge headlong from one project to another.

Other days it sucks, and I'm overcome with frustration and embarrassment at current and past attempts to mix a song.

Lately it just sucks.

My board mix + ambient mics from the @bearmccreary show in Ultrecht. Such a fun show to work on! Cymbals are low in the mix because they were super loud in the room, heh.

Linking to IG because the file’s too big to upload.

Have you ever wondered how to make something sound loud without actually making it too loud; how to make your voice sound like it's coming through a telephone; how to make recordings as good as possible? I can teach you all this and more. With 9 years audio #tuition experience, I'd love to help you take your #audio projects to the next level. Get in touch and let me know what you'd like to learn! #Music #Mixing #Mastering #Media

#mixing is really the worst part of #recording - you can either improve a song or kill it completely

Working on some heavy mixes in Reaper. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out why it sounds muddy and far away compared to reference tracks. Like it's playing in another room. Anyone here have some suggestions or ideas? #music #mixing #recording

Okay, I'm still #mixing but it's time to look toward #mastering, which I'll be at soon enough.

So, those of you that do your own mastering (or do it professionally, if you don't mind sharing your secrets):

1) What does your mastering chain look like? Ideally, in generic terms (eg saturation -> EQ -> compressor -> limiter rather than Fab Filter Pro 9 -> UAudio LA1176 -> Izotope MasterBlaster 9k) because I'm using stock Ableton plugins for the most part apart from the limiter

AND...

Colour mixing! I used the Nix colour sensor to more accurately mix the colours. I used up a whole tub of yellow.

Tomorrow I will print a proof!

I am looking for a professional #mixing #electronicmusic tutorial (#gainstaging, #eq, #compression, #stereopositioning, #delay, #reverb, #chorus, etc.).
Can anyone recommend something?
Does not need to be free. Does not have to be #bitwigstudio specific.
