    Wow, thank you master. So many channels and videos I have watched, and none have excited me like this one. I rarely write comments, but what you are doing is beyond amazing and deserves praise. Lately, I've been truly interested in the topic of sound and creating a world through it. This video helped me a lot and I will watch the others with great pleasure! Greetings from Poland:)

    I find you so inspiring and I love your presentation, with all the nerdy references and philosophical tone of your website. If I was making a Steampunk epic I wouldn't hesitate a moment to make you a key character in a pumping audio / time preservation factory.

    In the early days of radio they only had omnidirectional microphones so they always picked up the room sound. This provided some pleasant liveliness and space, even on AM or shellac monophonic. Very natural and honest.
    I'm not sure whether it's always a good idea to avoid any room influence and leave everything to the plug-ins.

      @@h.c.7799 that’s how it’s done. And it’s done this way for a reason. Time is money. A clean and dry signal to work with is always preferable to a wet one.
      Now, if we’re talking about film sets, then it’s sometimes a different story. Sometimes getting the sound of the room helps sell the story.
      Podcasts, radio, voiceovers, and voice acting prefer a dry signal.

    I'm intrigued by your gold package but I have typically used Premier or Audition to EQ my audio. I have Luna but am far from proficient. I have the Voosteq Model N plugin there. What might your suggested path forward be for someone like me who would like to utilize the preset you'd generate in the gold package? In order to utilize the preset would I need to purchase all of the plugins you used to generate it? Thanks in advance.

    • @TheRecordist
      @TheRecordist  3 месяца назад +1

      Hey there! Great questions.
      I can generally use any plugins to make presets. But I don’t use Audition or Premiere, and that’s no problem.
      For these situations, I would use Waves Scheps Omni Channel 2. This is a wicked cheap plugin that has everything I’d need built right in, with the exception of noise reduction.
      Depending on your audio, I could do a lot just with the Model N.
      If you were to buy Omni Channel right now, they’ve got a special on: buy one get another free. So you could get Waves Clarity Vx noise reduction along with Omni Channel 2 for $39.
      I can do everything in just those plugins. This will translate across any DAW you may choose to use forever.
      www.waves.com/plugins/scheps-omni-channel
      I actually did the VO editing you saw in this video twice. Once the way you saw it, and another just with Clarity and Omni Channel, but the video was getting too long so I cut the second one out.
      Hope this helps!

    What do you think of RMS/LUF normalizations?

    • @TheRecordist
      @TheRecordist  2 месяца назад +1

      Hey. I think RMS is the old standard and LUFS is the new standard. I much prefer LUFS because it takes into account perceived loudness.
      But with different mediums require different numbers, so I stay away from recommending any particular numbers.

    How to process spoken word in real-time? For calls, streams, etc.

    • @TheRecordist
      @TheRecordist  3 месяца назад +2

      Hey there. Generally it’s best to either use an interface with DSP of its own, like Universal Audio Apollo or similar. Or you can use outboard gear to do this. You may even be able to do this with just your computer, but that depends on how powerful it is. Processing in real-time can cause some latency issues.

      @taimanin 3 месяца назад +1

      @@TheRecordist thank you for the reply! I have heard of using the Universal Audio Apollo for their DSP, but the price point of those are pretty steep. For DSP with just the computer, is there a guide somewhere that you recommend? I have searched a little, but most recommend using the Apollo

      @TheRecordist  3 месяца назад

      @@taimanin hey. There are some out there other than Apollo, but some of them are either way too expensive, or they suck.
      The cheapest options for you might be an outboard rack like the DBX 286s. It’s got all that stuff on-board (except for noise reduction - it’s got a gate only).
