Kurt -  Focusrite definitely records in 44.1. Should be able to change that in the Apple Audio MIDI Setup utility. What version of the Scarlett do you have? They just updated to G3 and there have been a few odd things I've encountered.  Ahh - Didn't think of the pop/click thing.  I'd probably jus...

Hey Kurt -  In digital recording, there is no benefit from approaching -0 dB (peaking). Nor is there any real benefit from mastering to the nth level. Leave some headroom. Hopefully, the albums were originally well mastered so that the relative loudness between tracks is appropriate. The iterative ...

You are welcome.   I didn't mention the clicker (or finger snap or clap) method as it tends to be less efficient if you are working on projects longer than 45 minutes in running time. I've used both methods extensively and am very fast with the clicker method. But when I track my production tim...

Hey there Bart -  I work in voiceover full time, and produce/master audiobooks as well.  If you'd like to send a sample of your raw narration recording to me directly, I'd be happy to review it for quality at no charge.  https://justaskjimvo.studio/audio-review The most salient advice I can give ...

In MacOS, you can set the default program for any specific type of audio file.In Finder Select an AIFF file (single click) "Get Info" (under FILE menu) Expand "Open With" in the window which appears Select Amadeus (or whatever you want to use) When you do that, you'll have the op...

Waves stuff can be a little funky to get working sometimes. You do have to install the Waves effects through their management software: Waves Central. That manages the licenses on each machine. If you go into Waves Central, do you see your install appearing?  Then, is the license authorized for tha...

I'd try the AUParametricEQ or even the 31 band Graphic EQ.  See if a narrow band EQ could do the trick. Jim Edgar jimedgarvoices.com -  @jimedgarvoices justaskjimvo.studio  - @justaskjimvo On Tue, May 8, 2018 at 4:06 PM, Hans <forum2mail@hairersoft.com ( forum2mail@hairersoft.com )> wrote: I hav...

You can use the AU Dynamics Processor to create a Gate effect. Set the lower threshold just above where that sound occurs and play with the curve.  You may find that it chops off the ends/starts of words from the main source VO. So, you might have to find a happy medium where it doesn't quite get a...

Ian Shepherd posted a helpful video discussing LUFS vs. RMS, dBfs, etc  -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31zHqzjRn4c Short answer is that you can use the value for (AES music) RMS as an equivalent value for LUFS as a quick test, and there's a 1:1 correspondence between dBfs and LUFS.   RMS is a...

Indeed.  Have played with Jackpilot and a few others which always were a little sketchy.  Loopback is a solid bit of work.   https://www.rogueamoeba.com/loopback/ - J Jim Edgar jimedgarvoices.com -  @jimedgarvoices justaskjimvo.studio  - @justaskjimvo On Wed, Jan 25, 2017 at 11:28 AM, Sarah Ala...

It might help to know what version of the OSX version and which AP version you are running.   There was an update to the Focusrite drivers a while back, but you'd probably see the effect elsewhere.  The only other way I've had that occur was when I was demo'ing back and forth between DAW environme...
