How are people dealing with COVID-19?

My mastering and restoration business is way down and has been for the past 6 months. We are still getting in some mastering and some restoration work but nothing like it was last year at the same time. I keep reading that there is a lot of music being produced by people who are staying home but I don't see much of it coming through here. Just thought I would ask how others are doing?

Plugin latency question

Hey,
If I'm running a session with a 64 sample buffer, then i instantiate a plugin with a 64 sample latency spec on my live input, does that mean that the latency i experience would be based on 128 samples? Or does the plugin latency get "absorbed" by the session buffer and i would only experience the 64 samples of latency?

Thanks.

different noises on piano

has anyone experimented with getting different noises out of their piano? I've been brainstorming different ideas, but I haven't figured out how I'd go about implementing any ideas to alter the space between the hammer and the string to make it happen.

i never liked the middle pedal to bring the cloth down. that cloth just feels weird when you press the keys

Recording a Yamaha U3

I have no gear. I know nothing of any music software.

for my purposes here:

I have a u3 and would like to record it

I would like to get a keyboard and make noises with objects and experiment with those noises on keyboard and recording software

what kind of mic and recording equipment would I need to do this?

thanks!

Doing Vivaldi with Electric Instruments

Hey guys. I'm new to audio engineering and would like criticism and feedback on what I'm trying to do here. I'm basically just trying to record classical music (all the instrument parts) on electric guitars and bass, staying as faithful as practical to the original music while also making some concessions to make the instrumentation sound more modern.

A Thin Place

My first recording using Studio One DAW. In my new, unfinished studio. Original. Still learning the stock plugins. Want to invest in a 500 series lunch box but not sure what to put in it.

Anyhow. Tried not to compress to much. Is bass to loud? Panning choices I'm still experimenting with

Critique welcome

Big Moving Parts - My first "lockdown" production

This has been one of the most enjoyable and rewarding things that I’ve done musically (for myself) during this lockdown period. Larry (drummer) and I had a lot of fun recording this. The track forms part of my next solo album which I’m busy with at the moment. It was quite tricky doing all the filming and playing but I'm quite happy with the result.

High frequency resonnance on vocal recording

Hi guys,
I recorded vocals lately, and cannot get rid of aggressive high frequencies that weren't there before...
You can hear the main nasty frequency around 3-4Khz and some other ones from1 to 3 kHZ ( audio: Creep_VXREC_WA87ChorusAnnecy 1&2 )
I recorded the same vocals 1 month ago in another flat, and it was fine ( see audio "Creep_VXREC_WA87ChorusDundee").
