🚣RowboatMan: ❄️Freezing time🕰️ is an old P.I. 🥧trick...

I respect the hell out of old methods, but in TYOOL 2022, literally hundreds of plugins will do this for you.

And Mister Speaker, if I was employed as an audio engineer and not a public servant as a day job, I'd be hiring.

I guess "by trade" meant "I studied, got a diploma with honours, worked in the industry, and then got a full time govt job, and do audio stuff on the side once in a while". But you never forget the fundamentals.

In August, a friend of mine is giving me a bunch of old recordings that she's tasked me with digitizing and cleaning up, and I can't wait :allears:

I'd say sorry for the derail, but a) it's wholesome audio talk, which is always good, and b) the main topic is Jordan loving Peterson, so...

I think it's an ear thing, but i reckon a plug-in is only as good as the operator using it. Most digital attempts sound like pitiful facsimiles. Some nail it for sure, but you know what costs the same as a plug-in and is idiotproof (as regards tape sound)? A tascam cassette 4-track. BRING UM BACK.

Respek. I'm in a similar situation (two diplomas in Music Industry Arts/Audio Post-Production), but I've been working in the hospitality industry for more than a decade and I'm finally trying to break back out. That means I'm currently trying to get some work with staging companies and IATSE, and hopefully start climbing the ladder to a position behind a console. I started working for IA58 last week, great pay and everyone is eager to teach, but definitely the physicality of it takes some getting used to after late nights tending bar or working security. Also I either caught COVID again, or I have a really bad case of bronchitis. Right when I was getting back to work. :(

You really don't ever forget the fundamentals - it's weird how I can barely remember most of high school, but even though I haven't stayed in practice all of the recording/mixing/editing theory is still fresh in my mind, on the rare occasion I fire up my DAW and pretend to write it all comes right back, and I still love talking about it. Makes sense that it's stuff I actually cared about learning.

Deep Glove Bruno posted:

I mean, a tape machine is also only as good as the person running it. I don't want to get all Steve Albini here, but people who actually know how to use a tape machine, even a simple two-track, are exceedingly rare these days. Loads of hipster producers keep one around for 'warmth' but would be hard pressed to tell you exactly how tape saturation works, "it just sounds better lol," well I could have done the same thing with an instance of iZoTope Trash that didn't cost me $1800. That attitude re: analog modelling plugins is on its way out; some of the tape sims these days are really really good.

Nice Tuckpointing! posted:

Anyway, I have shut off podcasts and youtube videos because the makers couldn't be bothered about audio quality. Is there something about audio compression or bit rates that seem to amplify sibilance, or is that just me and my tinnitus?

Everything in the chain is important, from having someone who knows how to talk (making them wear headphones can help), mic placement to the source (you mentioned having to use your mics 'off axis', rather than pointed direct; extremely close proximity also has the effect of emphasizing the bass in a source), mic placement in the room (that room sounds like a nightmare of standing waves and reverb), mic selection (the SM7B and EV RE20 are the most common radio DJ mics but there is no 'best mic'), a quality preamp, and then a chain of EQ and dynamics.

It sounds like you might know this already, but when we talk about 'compression' in audio we're not necessarily talking about digital space-saving compression, we're talking about reducing the dynamic range (loudness gradient) of a signal. Yes, a compressor set wrong can absolutely exacerbate sibilance and plosives and other unpleasant things. But for radio voice (think the way Howard Stern sounds, or your favourite dinosaur classic rock radio DJ), it's pretty easy to dial in as long as you have the right tool. IIRC, those settings are usually surprisingly aggressive, hence my use of the term "slammed." Fast attack, medium release, medium-high ratio and low threshold; that GR meter should almost be pinned when you're talking. Sometimes DJs/announcers prefer even harder compression in their headphones than what's going out to the program, because it helps them hear the subtlety of their voice more easily. De-Essing is a thing that's wonderful for reducing excessively sibilant voices.

exactly. most of the comments disagreeing with him are polite as can be, with the exception of a small few that are clearly annoyed/offended, but even they aren't saying anything any sentient person would consider "toxic"
