I'm the one with the "louder" shirt

What up! @MLNow visited Hyde St last week and popped into my studio while we were tracking guitar overdubs. Here’s the article featuring a great interview with our studio manager Jack Kertzman:

Still unemploy--err, FREELANCE
Features I particularly like for a desktop #ProAudio interface:
- USB C w/ separate USB C power (for situations where the host can't provide adequate power, e.g. a phone)
- physical on/off
- per channel switches for 48v, line/instrument, and live monitoring
- per channel knob for monitor mix
- big fat volume knob
- gain boost button and separate volume for headphones
- pleasantly stiff analog knobs
- separate level meters for both inputs and outputs
- all of the buttons light up when engaged
Tomorrow I get to shadow Liv Lombardi at her job with #Nashville Public Radio's "This Is Nashville", for which she is the technical director. Exciting!
#LinuxAudio journey so far. I've downgraded to Linux Mint 21 Vanessa in the hopes that a nice looking script will work to load a bunch of #ProAudio features. This looks great, but is 3 years old, though the scripts have all been maintained within the last 3 weeks. However - Cadence is not found in the KXStudio resources and the script errors out. Sad face. One day it might all come together - for now though, I just want to make music.

But it also occurs to me that this is a use case where I could see value in machine learning tools
to recreate the cadence and art of the delivery cleanly from existing sources would make these much more accessible to modern audiences.
Reading King is not the same as hearing him speak. And I'm not normally one to listen to speeches.

I have a 16-disc (!) set of sermons and speeches by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. that recently I got from a library fundraising sale for like a dollar.
The audio quality in some of the early stuff especially is very poor, owing in part to the circumstances of recording and in part to the limitations of available technology.
A lot could be done with modern software to clean this up, so I'm going to give it a swing as an exercise.

After spending part of the last week trying to figure out a good workflow for noise reduction in problematic spoken word audio
(and documenting it here https://venya.soundslike.pro/blog/2025/05/meeting-acx-audible-standards-with-adobe-audition-and-reaper/)
I am now playing on hard mode by trying to fix up audio from an outdoor wedding recorded on a not-close Zoom H4N under a local airport flight path
Some #LessonsLearned on using #AdobeAudition to remove background noise and make #AudioBook recordings comply with ACX standards for #Audible
(and because that's how I roll, how to do it in #ReaperDAW, too)
Hey #LinuxAudio geeks, anyone succeeded using multiple #proAudio cards with #pipewire? I have a RME HDSPe MADI (with a massive 32 in rack) and a RME HDSPe RayDAT (with a modest 8x8 in/out rack). In pipewire, I only see the MADI card. I have 0 DA converter on MADI so it's basically useless: I have *zero* working outputs with Pipewire.
I can run jackd over pipewire and it works, but gets unreliable: the bridge from jack to pw regularly drops under load, requiring a restart of jackd.
Ideas?
When I switch to the melodic range spectrogram layer, you can see WHERE the ref mix is louder. The low end is much more powerful throughout.
But there are also some short higher pitches (xylophone, I think?) arpeggiating throughout that are much louder. It's PRETTIER, but I didn't actually like how bright they were in the ref mix.
Reference mix is on top; our mix is on bottom. These are normalized to -1 dB peak, because I am specifically evaluating the mix. (If I just wanted to compare how they sounded and which I preferred, then it would make sense to normalize to perceived loudness, the default for #ffmpeg-normalize.)
Our mix has more dynamic range, prob too much. That fits _my_ tastes, but it's not what the market prefers. You can see some limiting in the ref mix, but not excessive.
I need to compare a reference mix to the one that my team did in the AES student mixing competition last month. #SonicVisualiser is a great tool for this, but first I need to normalize the audio tracks so they are at roughly the same perceived loudness. ffmpeg-normalize is a quick CLI tool for this purpose.

(I had to install several things to get to the point I could use this, but "you need this" first messages were helpful and clear. Yay, #Debian.) #ProAudio #MusicDev
I asked Siri, “what does it mean when a mixer is DC coupled?”and Siri responded: a mixer allows dancers to meet new partners, and beginning dancers to dance with more experienced dancers! I haven’t laughed that hard in a while! Guess I’ll have to check DuckDuckGo on my computer later! #ProAudio #synth
