[03:18] hello [03:32] hi === sinewav1 is now known as sinewav [13:58] 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? [14:15] locatelli: not really, you can remove some of the reverb tail with a gate though [14:16] I take it this is plucked? Bowed probably covers the reverb a bit better. [14:18] 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. [14:19] ah, that makes sense. [14:19] By gate, do you mean an envelope? i'm a bit new to some of this terminology. [14:21] 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] It is very common (or used to be) for drums. [14:22] It is the oposite to a compressor. [14:27] 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] that is totally an artistic question [14:27] :) [14:29] 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. [14:30] I would suggest the "linux audio users" mailing list for some of these questions though as there are a lot more people around. [14:31] They seem to be quite willing to listen to mixes and comment. [14:31] 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] there are people there who do all electronic music. [14:31] I am most a live audio recordist in style. [14:32] right. [14:34] 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] i went to the chat, first, because i'm talking to someone immediately, right now. The feedback has been helpful! [14:35] of course you have to have a room that sounds nice in the first place :) [14:36] 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] Those are fascinating topics! The mastering tutorial talks about those, too, but in relation to mastering. Look, Ma, i'm redundant! [14:37] 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. [14:40] Thanks, OvenWerks! i'm heading out, now. i'll record that bass, again, just so i have some more options for mixing. [14:40] cool, talk to you later. [15:06] good afternoon [15:06] someone here speak portugues [15:07] I'm from brasil [15:07] my names is edcarlos [15:09] please who can help me with kxstudio [15:11] I would like of install the repository of kxstudio [15:11] into ubuntuStudio [19:10] hello [19:12] yo, what is the difference between ubuntu studio and normal ubuntu
