| locatelli | Hello! i recorded a sampled string bass section that already contained some reverb. Is there a way to take away the reverb without recording the part, again? | 13:58 |
| OvenWerks | locatelli: not really, you can remove some of the reverb tail with a gate though | 14:15 |
| OvenWerks | I take it this is plucked? Bowed probably covers the reverb a bit better. | 14:16 |
| locatelli | Ovenwerks: It was bowed. It's not the tail, so much as a drier sound will be simpler to place more prominently in a mix. | 14:18 |
| OvenWerks | ah, that makes sense. | 14:19 |
| locatelli | By gate, do you mean an envelope? i'm a bit new to some of this terminology. | 14:19 |
| OvenWerks | A gate is an expander, it basically opens when the signal is above a certain level (when the intrument is playing) and lowers the level for lower levels like the reverb tail. So the note would cut off faster. | 14:21 |
| OvenWerks | It is very common (or used to be) for drums. | 14:21 |
| OvenWerks | It is the oposite to a compressor. | 14:22 |
| locatelli | Ovenwerks: i get it! i'm working through a mastering tutorial that discusses (and demonstrates) these concepts. That leads to a more general question: In today's world, is it better to record as dry as possible if ones sound sources are purely electronic? | 14:27 |
| OvenWerks | that is totally an artistic question | 14:27 |
| OvenWerks | :) | 14:27 |
| OvenWerks | For samples for a sampler, yes I would want dry. The natural reverb will be higher quality than added reverb will be later, but having a unified reverb added to all channels sounds better in my opinion. | 14:29 |
| OvenWerks | I would suggest the "linux audio users" mailing list for some of these questions though as there are a lot more people around. | 14:30 |
| OvenWerks | They seem to be quite willing to listen to mixes and comment. | 14:31 |
| locatelli | Understood. i've been thinking in that direction, myself. Plus, if the sound is dry, whatever the instrument, the mixer has more flexibility over where it might appear in a mix. | 14:31 |
| OvenWerks | there are people there who do all electronic music. | 14:31 |
| OvenWerks | I am most a live audio recordist in style. | 14:31 |
| OvenWerks | right. | 14:32 |
| locatelli | i'll certainly head there. i'm already on the mailing list. Live recording is interesting, too. i like the concept of mic placement in relation to the fact that you're recording a room, too. It's just not an option for me, right now. Someday, maybe. | 14:34 |
| locatelli | i went to the chat, first, because i'm talking to someone immediately, right now. The feedback has been helpful! | 14:34 |
| OvenWerks | of course you have to have a room that sounds nice in the first place :) | 14:35 |
| OvenWerks | irc is great, it is just there are not many people here and for some of these questions a wider audience would be nice. | 14:36 |
| locatelli | Those are fascinating topics! The mastering tutorial talks about those, too, but in relation to mastering. Look, Ma, i'm redundant! | 14:36 |
| OvenWerks | for example #ardour has a lot of people with much experience than I have. And there are some people who are very good who just don't do irc at all. | 14:37 |
| locatelli | Thanks, OvenWerks! i'm heading out, now. i'll record that bass, again, just so i have some more options for mixing. | 14:40 |
| OvenWerks | cool, talk to you later. | 14:40 |
