Are there proof that spotify normalize audio at -14LUFS?
I did some empirical A/B comparison between mp3s donwloaded on my pc and audio streamed on spotify.

I choosed this quite loud songs on pourpose:

Current vocal chain = Flea 47, Grace m103 pre (using both eq & the comp when tracking), using line-in on Focusrite Clarett 4 to to access the A/D converter, then thunderbolt into MacBook Pro / Logic Pro X daw. Recording in a treated room and I’m happy with the capture. . . sounds great for demos, SoundCloud, etc.

Here's a new song that's part of the same adolescent song cycle for me (this one's about the summer between grade 10 & 11). It's the second song where I'm working with real drum tracks. I've still a bit of vocal clean-up to do (a few pops and "k" sounds and mouth sounds etc...) Any direction otherwise on this - more of a macro focus for now as I've still some work to do with the track.

Ready to roll!. I’ve spent the afternoon creating the drum track. Next step, if I can get it done on my own, record vocal and acoustic M/S style. Watch this space.

Here I compare two currently available digital mobile audio recorders, one called R1 and the other R2, to avoid being influenced by brand prejudices.

Please comment which one you like better on this application.

Kurt... or anyone else who might be able to chime in...
I was wondering what console was used during the hey-day of Sigma Studios in Philly, during the period of The Spinners, Delfonics, Stylistics, etc.

There involved in with Berkley Music (Boston), and they have a Non-Profit business model/sector, and their still open to the public! Great to see these things being preserved. They didn't mention if the Jbl is in the stairwell, for that classic vocal verb sound.

Hi,
The LED meters on my AmekAngela have this problem that it takes about a minute for the LEDs to shout down after the music stops,you can see it in this video:

Just wrapped up the mix this morning. What do you think?

Any/all comments warmly appreciated ...

Kev-

OK, so I am building a setup in my home studio, which would allow me to record mainly percussive acoustic instruments like shakers, glockenspiel, and various types of ethnic or homemade instruments, in a live situation. Since I already use two condensers for vocals in the same setup and also play electric guitars "in the box", I want this mic to minimally pick up on all of these.
