* Notes
** hardware setup
*** microphone
1. need XLR cables
- 3 pin
- used for the microphone
2. plug the microphone to the interface using the xlr cables
- inputs 1 or inputs 1 + 2
- can plug in multiple microphones
3. plug the interface into the computer
*** using interface for backsound
- recomended
- plug the speakers into the interface
- speakers are plugged into the outputs on the interface device
- outputs 1 + 2
*** notify ableton of what you are doing
- go to Preferences->Audio
- Audio Input Device
- Audio Output Device
*** turn on the channels you are going to use
- Settings->Audio->Channel Configuration->Input Config
- turn it on for both mono inputs and stereo inputs
- turn on the ones you are going to use, that your device is capable of using
*** sample rate
- what sample rate do you want to record at?
- standard for digital audio is 44100 samples per second
- 48000 is becoming standard
- you can go to 88200
- will make huge files
- for concerts
** latency
latency is the delay going into your microphone and going out through your speakers
we need to make that as small a time as possible
*** buffer size
- how big of a chunk live is going to use to process the sound
- higher values give higher sounds quality
- but also cause higher required processing time
- 32 samples
- no problem for recording
- problem for playback
*** driver error compensation
- if your audio interface has a certain amount of latency built in, you can indicate that there
- check your documentation for your audio interface
*** input latency
- this is what will cause the problems, so you need to focus on that
** microphone placement
*** how much air is going into your microphone
- this will give you a ballpark figure
- think about the type of microphone
- dynamic microphones can handle a lot of air better
- condensers are highly sensitive
*** the way to block off air is by using a "wind screen"
- this protects against 'p' sounds
*** trumpets
- dynamic might not be an issue
- with a condensor, that is sensitive
- put it in front and turn it
- move it off to the side a little bit
- you are moving the diaphram off at an angle so a lot of the air will angle off
