today in the #studio our lecturer went over the #audient ASP analogue console at uni, and we set up a spot-miked mid/side drum recording.

it was so cool seeing how everything is done and it's one of the rare things where it really did sound amazing in the recordings. I also love how the audient has GENEROUS saturation so you can make kicks, snares and hats sound SUPER fucked up, and then just attenuate the channel since everything is post-fader when sent to #protools

I still cant stand protools and I find it really antiquated, but I'm learning to like how well it works for mixing and editing. #musicproduction #audioengineering

my group's project later is to remake a song, using a drum recording as its basis, and we've chosen to redo a rock-y song into a synth pop one. I can't remember the song's name. I also get an excuse to finally take my #polybrute to uni!!! we're going to try and get things nice and analogue and saturated now that we have access to the Audient.

on a sidenote, wow setting up 7 microphones is pain. at least having 3 of the same mic is a lot easier to gain stage and setup than having a lot of different mics with different quirks.

2/3 The recording chain:
#aston #origin for Dalton's #voice to #bitwig 5 (yeah, it's finally out!) via #audient #evo4 and #lenovo #z16amd. 🤓
And for the Gong, dual #beyerdynamic #m201tg to #tascam #dr100mk3. ☺️

#Audient Evo 8 question. I have Audient's Evo 8 connected to my laptop. I have in Reaper, device, ACIO and entire range of inputs and outputs are selected. I have a microphone plugged in to input 1 and audio mixer in 3/4 Stereo. When I arm a track, I hear the microphone just fine. I purposely turned up line 3/4 so clipping was happening. But I can't figure out how to select what channels are fed to the mix in Reaper. It's So how, in the Evo app do I route channels to the mix? Thanks all for any help. Or even better, if I read the manual, which I have read part of, is this process explained enough that someone with a screen reader could figure it out?

Audient is having a giveaway of Audio interfaces and some nice other stuff for recording music. You have to enter a competition, winners are drawn at random.

Major panic this morning when I went to start recording a set of three #eLearning #voiceover scripts and what came out of my #Neumann mic?

Nothing...

SO...2 hours, a studio un-wiring and lots (and lots!) of swearing later it turns out the #audient audio interface had decided to stop working (because Tuesday).

After all plugged back in, a cup of tea and sit in the garden for ten minutes it now decides to work again.

Your guess is as good as mine....

Bloody #technology.

How's your Tuesday?
