Yeah, I couldn't resist Atlanta 💯

How to route V51 in-built sounds through USB audio for multitrack recording in a DAW? (Logic)

Surely there must be a way to record my TD516 into Logic using the on-board sounds, not as MIDI data but just as individual audio channels to the kick, snare, overheads, rooms etc?

I can get mono tracks for kick and snare and toms, but can't find any inputs for overheads or ambience? There's no real guides anywhere I've been able to find but I purchased this kit thinking you must be able to record up to 32 channels (or even just 16) of audio from the V51 module out in into a DAW?

How to record multi-track of V51 sounds into Logic?

I have worked out how to get an audio signal from the V51 to talk to Logic Pro and can hear sounds, but only one mono channel is active. How exactly does one have up to 32 separate channels for kick, snare, overheads, rooms etc? I have the V51 driver installed and Vendor on.

Also, does the V51 editor application work within DAWs like Logic (can I post-edit my V51 kit recordings, or do all my kit sounds and processing happen before recording to Logic)?

Trimming glitches audio regions?

A couple of my regions just don't want to be trimmed and do this? Is this a bug or am I missing something?

How do you know if a CD player is worth it?

After years of obliterating my eardrums with Sony’s noise-cancelling technology (XM4-5), I have decided to dive into the world of CD players. Unfortunately, scalpers got to every Sony CMT-EX1 and my chances of ever getting one are one in a billion.

I looked into older Sony tech and pulled this from the interwebs- a mini component system (MHC-EC70).

Though, because I’m such a beginner newbie at this- how do I tell if it’s any good? What am I meant to look for? This mini audio system is cute and would look great in my room, but how do I tell if it’s quality and will bless my ears with lovely music?

I’d love some advice or feedback from the talented experienced audiophiles who lurk on this sub! Much to learn :)

Filter - Skinny

Forget Take a Picture and Hey Man Nice Shot, this is some of Filter's best work. The volume jumps from the verse to the chorus are mega, along with that ending - absolutely recommend the Title of Record album and this song in particular.

The Beta Band - B + A

You cannot get much more 90s alternative than this song. This song in particular holds a special place in my head. It also inspired me to start making music years ago.

How is Candlebox's debut album so loud when it came out in 1993? Pretty much all other rock albums in this period do not have a DR this low.

Also no evidence anywhere on who mastered this album...

DM13 skips 5-10 seconds of a CD, pretty much for 1 in 2 CDs

I'm stumped. My DM13 skips 5-10 seconds of a random portion of a CD, usually over half way of an album. I'm using this device on a bed often with no movements to set off skipping, but when I replay that portion of the CD again immediately after it skips over it, it plays fine like there was nothing wrong.

The CDs I use vary from normal production CDs to occasionally CD-Rs I made. These discs all play fine in our home Sony CD player in the living room, so I cannot blame the CDs. I've tried to contact Fiio about this and they say

>Due to the structural limitations of a portable CD mechanism, we cannot guarantee the perfect reading of all CDs.
Minor skipping when reading certain high-capacity CDs is normal due to variations in mechanisms, manufacturing materials, and recording conditions.

The thing is, I seem to be a minority of people noticing stuff like this, most people who have bought the DM13 say it is incredibly reliable.

Also, having played these CDs on other players, how can they say it is normal for CDs over 60 minutes to skip?? I've never had this problem before so I don't buy that. Is the DM13 just limited like this or have I really just got unlucky with a faulty one?

FIIO are saying I could send my player to them in China, but with postage costs it just doesn't seem worth it. The player is also beyond its 1 year warranty from the registered UK seller I bought it form by just a month, which means FIIO may charge a service fee, and they might not find anything wrong with the player when testing it anyway...

Tonic’s debut album Lemon Parade released 30 years ago today!!

Honestly, this really doesn’t feel like a one hit wonder album, Open Up Your Eyes, Soldiers Daughter and Wicked Soldier all feel like singled to me. 30th anniversary vinyl repress??

This album is only 12 songs long, it is split onto two double-sided records

Only 3 (mostly short) songs per side, you constantly have to get up to flip/change the record 😭

Is EZdrummer3 a worthwhile option for a Roland TD-516?

Got a Roland TD-516 and loving it, but would like to use a VST as I do agree that the in-built sounds while great for practice, are maybe not as realistic as I would like them to be if I was recording them for a song.

I record out of my bedroom, and I've heard of Superior Drummer 3 which many consider the best VST for e-drums, but the price point is quite high and there's a lot of tweaking and learning involved to get the best sounds, whereas many say EZd3 is good out of the box.

I am tempted towards EZd3, for recording a V-drums 5 series out of a bedroom, is it the best purchase over SD3?

Fish at Burnby Hall Gardens

Lovely gardens, what species are these fish? Found them pretty creepy but interesting.

Also loved the resident cat near the pond :)

Does this count? Freaky fish at a garden park

A bit uncanny to me. I would post a video if I could showing even more of them in a big frenzy.
