[@haroldbradley2380]

Thank you for your help and not over talking like busy work

[@ScaleAudio]

The fact I’m even being compared to a bigger channel like busy works is a compliment. Here to help how I can 🤙

[@Noldy__]

This was cool, now I can finally wrap my head around Edison.

[@ScaleAudio]

Edison is definitely a behemoth of plugin. Happy to bring as much info as I can. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@MrMallum]

32bit floating point can also record above 0db in digital so you don’t get flat peaks if your recording goes over it….

[@ScaleAudio]

No lies here

[@nutsosix7930]

wow. Edison can overdub... kind of with, copy, past mix. exactly what i wanted to learn. thanks.

[@ScaleAudio]

Heck yeah!! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@IlyesMenad]

thanks dud

[@ScaleAudio]

You bet! Thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@Galaxis-X]

I need help with the snap on grid option when i render my single bassline note, i don't know exactly where to cut on the beginning of the Audio and then to fade out smoothly, which part of this video explains certain information to implement ? Fantastic video by the way thank you for the detail in depth explanation 😊

[@ScaleAudio]

Not sure what points would be most helpful. You can technically cut anywhere. If you go to the edit tab you’ll find “click free smooth editing” which helps ensure you don’t need to cut at zero crossing points. I would suggest using the fl studio sampler channel to do your envelopes (aka your fade out).

@@ScaleAudio hi is 16gb ram enough for clear recording in edison or is it not enough please reply me asap im planning on getting a new laptop i woud really appreciate it also is 16gb ram enough for clear dumpscore notes

[@ScaleAudio]

@@nigelphillips7454 Hello! Sorry for the late response. 16gb of ram should do great! Get a decent CPU with that and it should last you a while!

[@nigelphillips7454]

@@ScaleAudio thanks for your reply just one thing how much would you recommend

[@ScaleAudio]

@@nigelphillips7454 how much ram or are you asking what cpu?

[@noelkinz]

Do you have any specifi part where you explain how to flatten a vocal or file track and level it all the one single even volume> if you do please give me the time. I just subscribed in advance,

[@ScaleAudio]

Not in this video. To help answer your question., you'll want to use a combination of compression and automation to get vocal levels even. If your vocals are fairly even, you can compress to really glue it all together. If your vocals are all over the place, you'll want to do manual automation or use a plugin like "vocal rider" prior to compression. If you can't afford "vocal rider" there is some free alternatives out there. If your subject moved closer and farther away from the mic while you were recording, there is something called the proximity effect that will make it so the frequency content won't match, in which case you can try and address it with multiband compression, but I would recommend re-recording instead (unless it's the effect you are going for). Google the terms and scenarios I just listed, and you will find plenty of awesome information to get you ahead.

[@noelkinz]

@@ScaleAudio thanks for the response I will apply the information given by you.

there is no pencil tool to draw directly in the waveform?

[@ScaleAudio]

You can draw in the envelopes but not the waveform itself.

[@tnstrap]

When I open Edison theres no audio on it and I cant edit anything. I have already recorded my vocals, how do I put them on Edison to edit them?

[@ScaleAudio]

Sorry for the late response! You should be able to open the audio channel for your recorded vocals and right click them. Choose “edit in audio editor” from the menu. You can also drag the audio from the audio channel into Edison. Or you can put the vocals and Edison on the same mixer track, and then click the record button in Edison and let you vocals play completely through.

[@ceavn9000]

I'm struggling over here, I can't stop the music from recording with my vocals in Edison. I have my music playing from the playlist and trying to record vocals only in Edison but it's recording me plus everything in the playlist

[@ScaleAudio]

Hey! You most likely have Edison open on the master track. Make sure it’s open only on the mixer track your vocals are going through. Let me know whether that helps or not 🤙

[@ceavn9000]

Perfect

[@ScaleAudio]

@@ceavn9000 that’s what I like to hear 🤙

[@Exspiravit4699]

Hey great tutorial I'm making my way through it the thing is I'm trying to record kicks like make them from other kicks and the wave form won't show up, do you have an answer?

[@ScaleAudio]

Hey! Is Edison on the correct mixer track that the audio is playing through?

[@Exspiravit4699]

@@ScaleAudio Yeah I have Edison on mixer track 2 and Fruity WaveShaper above it

[@ScaleAudio]

@@Exspiravit4699 interesting, it should work if it’s within the flow of audio as long as the record button is armed. I tried googling about it to see what I could do for you but came up with no good information. I’ll see if I can learn anything new and get back to you 🤙

@@ScaleAudio Thank you I've done the same Googled it and came up with nothing but there has to be something I'm not doing just needs figured out anyway I'm off to bed!

Aye. What’s the issue going on here where I can’t chop to the millisecond? Idk why I can’t chop my samples how I want to on slicex.

Click the magnet looking button and change your snap to something more finite like “samples”

[@ScaleAudio]

If that doesn’t work I’m not sure…

I would love to try and help but I’m honestly not sure what you are asking.

[@Ikmijnnaam]

I am now on 09:43 and watching for half an hour, haha yeah making that much notes, but that is a good thing, you are really explaining it in such great detail and clarity ! Nice I really love the way you teach us how Edison works but just one question though, you speak about 16 and 32 bit, I am reallllly trying to know everything about sampling I got 32.000 samples to go through AND to edit euhm so you mean that 16 bit will and can not allow more then 16 regions and 32 does ? Is that what you mean with data points ? Love your video ! I will subscribe right away, at least you fill my brain with new but more important : cricital and important info ! Great work ! 👍

[@ScaleAudio]

Happy to help in any way I can!! Yeah, so audio in the digital world is actually points on a graph. You can think of it as resolution. When thinking of it in terms of resolution, the 32 bit file is more high def. In essence, there is a LOT more data points dynamically (aka in amplitude aka upwards and downwards in the waveform) in a 32 bit file than there is in a 16 bit file. This is helpful due to how audio is recreated from digital audio files. The way audio in the digital world is translated back to us as a sound wave is by algorithms that fill in all the gaps between the points in your 16 bit or 32 bit file. This means that 32 bit will generally be more accurate because there is less space that these algorithms need to fill in. Think of it like the game “connect the dots” except the dots make a wave form instead of an object and the amount of dots is decided by whether it’s 8 bit, 16 bit or 32 bit. Hope this is helpful!!

[@ScaleAudio]

Ps. Something cool I just learned, I used to think the data points doubled from 16 to 32 bit but each bit actually adds to the power of 2. Meaning 32 bit contains 65,536 times more data points than 16 bit dynamically (upwards and downwards)
