Details On Killer Home Recording

As you can probably deduce without a Sherlock hat, this site is in good need of a massive overhaul. You may have heard the ol' cliche, "Making money is messy", so I don't have the foggiest idea why this site is a mess.

Anyhow, you can find various tid bits of into about my Killer Home Recording series throughout this site. Most people prefer the little bits and pieces you can find here:
Killer Home Recording - Home Recording Forum

However, if you REALLY want to find out pretty much want to find out the FACTS about Killer Home Recording, you can find that here:

#1 This is a good time to remind you that I 100% guarantee Killer Home Recording to blow you away. If it doesn't, just ask for a full refund. You may even get it.

I've really been enjoying the hell out of "KHR." I started at "Audio Engineering" and will go on from there all the way to the end. I just wanted to tell you that it really is like having a light bulb over my head that gets brighter and brighter, the further I 'get on in it.' This is one totally informative piece you have here dude!

I think you are selling yourself short by targeting KHR to intermediate and beginner engineers. Without directly revealing my age, when I started working in studios in Hollywood, our "state of the art" equipment included a Studer 2" 24 track, a 36 input MCI board, and JBL 4311 monitors (before even NS-10's, sheesh...)

needless to say, I have been doing this a long time, and I still found many excellent nuggets of wisdom in your tutorials, and the price was an absolute bargain (and still will be when you come to your senses and start charging more!!) your insights and plain English explanations�of engineering concepts is through and lucid, and in my humble opinion is useful for engineers, producers, and musicians at any level!

I bought KHR the week it came out. I've already found enough to make the $$$ worthwhile, for sure. Nice job.

I am a bit confused as to how to, after I have logged on, find the forums that are referred to in the email updates I get. They always seem to be 'lost' afte log in!
Anyhow I was reading about 'loudness' and though I might add something that is easy to do for a home recording where time is not so important.

This is applied to increasing the loudness of sounds that have peaks that otherwise keep the average level down. If you apply an ordinary limiter, it often affects the sound after the peak as well. It requires no special limiter.

I simply open the track with an editor like soundforge and normalise it.
I magnify it horizontally so I can see each major peak and select only the area of the peak above the centre line and reduce it's gain until just the peak is about the same as average lesser peaks. Negative peaks are handled the same way.
Then I normalise the whole track again. The old peak is still half a perfect sinewave at a reduced level without disturbing any of the other waveform.

You can't hear any distortion at all produced by this method and you can get easily an increase of 6 db if you work on it enough!

I suppose it wouldn't be hard to do this automatically in software if no one has yet done it.
