PhilosipherStoned Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Why does this asshats voice still peak out in my DAW no matter what I do.. faggot ass 20 year old software I would blame.. but I'm trying to put jim morrisons voice on a guys beat with all these lo fi sounds and apparently the fuck (that recorded this beat) recorded it at 48000 hz.. I have to upsample added recordings besides my voice) up from the original production rate of 44100 [WHICH IS STANDARD!!!], but I DONT USUALLY EVEN HAVE TO UPSAMPLE SHIT.. this fucker just decided to record at 48000 hz to make his beat(s) special I swear.. Im about to loose it I'm not a qualified audio engineer, but I'm pretty good I know.. THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT.

Poof Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 downsample the 48k to 44.1k instead? what software do you use thats 20 years old?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilosipherStoned Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 cool edit pro.. even if I used fucking protools unless I was told otherwise I would probably sample in 44100.. that's pretty much standard across the board.. at least it has been, but I think this guy might have put A LOT of aftermarket finesse into his simple boombap beat and that's why he sampled at 48000.. my point is my intro audio sample is from a youtube vid of Jim Morrison reciting a few lines of his poetry and THAT audio file has to be upsampled to even be inserted into the project.. just to put things into perspective.. it doesn't really matter that much that I'm using an old program..

PhilosipherStoned Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) I can hear the difference in this guys beat from 48000 to 44100 though so even though I've kind of been beating him up about that in my head I can't judge I guess.. I should just dale wit it because producers like me supposingly because I'm like MF Doom 'a recording artist with a djs ear' when I record..this shit is weird idk maybe im just being a bitch, and being too picky with my decibals.. the engineer that recorded old jim compressed the fuck out of the intro which was just spoken word with no music.. I'm just tripping out on how I'm supposed to blend this quiet ass voice into my loud ass boombap instrumental.. (which still is about as far from jims voice from peaking in my DAW even though the beat sounds loud AF) Jim's voice some how crosses the threshold at some point even though the waveform is quiet and small as fuck..and obviously professionally compressed..-_- I give in yet again trying to mix this. maybe some of my better DAWs can help, but I forgot a lot of the layout I need to use those already. I'm sure this is a compression or reverse compression issue though.. I'm just gonna have to either reverse audio engineer this DOORS sample or not use it at all..

Poof Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 what do you mean you can hear the difference? is the duration of the beat the same after you downsample it? you need to look at the doors sample thru a spectrum analyzer then you can see the volume of different frequencies. the waveform isnt everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilosipherStoned Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) nope it is not the same.. I've tried changing the sample rate for this beat it isn't a good idea. Don't worry I'll figure this out. I'm not making a pop song.. Edited April 18, 2018 by PhilosipherStoned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry I'll figure this out. I'm not making a pop song.. a lot of editors have two ways to change the sample rate. one way is for producing effects and it changes the pitch and duration as well like if you slowed down some vinyl. thats the method you seem to have found. this trips up a lot of ppl. including me when i first started using audio editors the other method is for doing what you want to do, changing the sample rate without changing pitch & duration. i use audition which is the descendant of cool edit so maybe its still the same... under edit is there "convert sample type" ?

PhilosipherStoned Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 I'm not changing pitch and duration.. this beat throws an error if I try to record at 44100 and unless it's upsampled it can't be used..so I'm doing this session at 48000 regardless. Right now I'm just trying to mix an old audio sample into the session.. jim morrisons voice resonates with the frequencies of the beat and makes it peak so spectral analysis would be helpful I'll give you that.. neither of the audio samples peak alone, but at the shift of his words, and the high point of this beats melody the samples peak together.. This is gonna be one hell of a mix X_X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poof Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 well if you do this you wont have to do that. open up his beat. edit >> convert sample type. pick 44.1k. done. if you dont want to do that youre making things difficult for yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilosipherStoned Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Are you googling things and trying to give me advice because it kind of seems like that... I've already tried everything you've told me to do I'm not even having a problem with the sample rate honestly that part of my post was more or less a rant about working with a guy that deviates from the standard for no apparent reason. Compression of the spoken word sample..which I understand why it was turned up and compressed at the time..is the mixing issue I'm working on overcoming.. no biggie... it was just a rant. It's amixing issue...that really is only a m mixing issue because further along down the road it'll be a mastering issue. I'm wasting too much time trying to explain this, but I understand what you're getting at, and that's not going to solve my problem.. better compression tools with this program might.. but I digress. I could solve the issue if I wanted to relearn some stuff on another DAW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poof Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 no im not. you just have no idea what youre doing. sorry i wasted your time. hope your dope beats turn out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
