[03:32] <sinewav> hi
[13:58] <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?
[14:15] <OvenWerks> locatelli: not really, you can remove some of the reverb tail with a gate though
[14:16] <OvenWerks> I take it this is plucked? Bowed probably covers the reverb a bit better.
[14:18] <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.
[14:19] <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.
[14:21] <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.
[14:22] <OvenWerks> It is the oposite to a compressor.
[14:27] <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>   :)
[14:29] <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.
[14:30] <OvenWerks> I would suggest the "linux audio users" mailing list for some of these questions though as there are a lot more people around.
[14:31] <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.
[14:32] <OvenWerks> right.
[14:34] <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!
[14:35] <OvenWerks> of course you have to have a room that sounds nice in the first place :)
[14:36] <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!
[14:37] <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.
[14:40] <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.
[15:06] <studio-user279> good afternoon
[15:06] <studio-user279> someone here speak portugues
