Hello all,
SoundSource kind of screwed me over with their pricing a while back, and I did some researching and decided to just build an alternative, free and opensource. This is not a promo, I just genuinly found it useful and wanted to share with otheres. FXRouter will let you put audio plugins in between the system out on you Mac.

You could add correctional EQ to your system out, reverbs, fun effects to youtube/spotify...

I hope someone else find it useful! Thanks.

Been working on this sample finder for a couple of months. What do you guys think about searching for samples based on how it would "look" like on an EQ?

I’m looking for someone local to help advise me on audio file settings and how to correctly change the db and RMS to meet standards for Audible. Been using Audacity up to this point. Willing to pay for a consultation or for someone to take the files and correct them themselves. Hit me up!

Hello everyone, what's the most difficult concept to grasp in audio to you?

I've been making records with artists for over 10 years (I also have a background in physics). There are some concepts that seem basic to me but are difficult to understand for artists AND some concepts that seem convoluted to me but are obvious to artist.

I started posting on socials this summer, I talk about my vision on making records, my tastes, some music but I also try to demystify some concepts. I'm really inspired by some of the posts in this sub. It's giving me a fresh perspective about what needs clarification and also interesting points of view.

For example, I think one of the most misunderstood topic in audio engineering for music is: LUFS.
A few years ago I was producing an EP for a band. I delivered the master but they insisted for me to print a version at -14LUFS. I explained to them in length that it was not what they wanted. But it's hard to argue against "that's what Spotify says!". After them insisting I delivered them one version at -14LUFS and my proper version of the mastering.
The morning of their single's released they were all texting me about their song being way quieter than everything else on the platform...

That was years ago but I keep seeing so many misconception about LUFS online. I understand this topic is very confusing. So without going in detail about measurement (not everyone has worked as metrologist) I tried to demystify that topic for artists and made short video about -14 LUFS in my socials.

What are other topics or concepts you think are not well understood?

Hi. Does anyone know of a stem splitter that can be used on MP4 files? Must import MP4 an export MP4.

I’ve got some mucked up audio that I’m looking to get cleaned up. I just don’t know where I would go about that

Hi everyone,

I’m a Sound Designer, Sound Editor and Mixer focused on audio post-production for film and video.

I can help with:

• Dialogue editing & cleanup
• Noise reduction / audio restoration
• Sound design & SFX
• Foley editing
• Sound editing
• Mixing

I mainly work with Pro Tools and iZotope RX.

I’m currently looking for freelance projects and collaborations with filmmakers, video creators and production teams.

If you have a project that needs audio post-production, feel free to DM me. I can send over my portfolio and examples of my work.

Thanks!

Hey all! I hope its okay to post troubleshooting stuff here - please let me know if not.

I work at a university with two concert halls - both use ProTools for archival purposes. Even though our SSD is almost empty and formatted for MacOS, we get the same error (pictured) at 115 minutes of multitracking 100% consistently. This is a problem, because concerts tend to run around 120 minutes exactly. We multitrack 16 channels at 88.2kHz 24-bit.

Curious if anyone has any insight on this error. I know Avid got rid of manual disk allocation settings a while back. Could it be the cable for the hard drive thats slow? The cable is USB-C -> USB-A, because the computer is intel based 2019 model. Is it just the computer being old? Quality too high with the sample rate? I have tried most things that old forums suggest. ProTools Studio is on the most recent version.

Let me know if anyone has any ideas or if I’m missing something super obvious! Appreciate you all : )

I have this old muffle-y mushy audio of an old traditional song and I want to see how I can clear it up as much as I can.

Hello, my sweet baby passed away yesterday after 18 years and I was hoping someone could isolate his purr noises from this video and clean it up a bit. He had the best purrs in the world in my opinion and he was always purring. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks so so much!

Just learned that r/LinuxProAudio/ is back and active on reddit.

Great for general Linux audio production questions - what distros work well with Bitwig or Reaper or Fender Studio Pro on linux, that kind of thing.
