New to Audition, Logic Pro X user. I'm editing interview style podcasts. In Logic when I ripple delete, everything to the right of my cut point moves to the left and I can immediately apply a cross fade to the selected tracks by simply dragging out a fade from the top of adjacent clips. It seems that in Audition after a ripple delete I have to "Select Clips to the End of Session" and manually drag them just a bit back to the left so there is an overlap before I can apply a cross fade. Is that correct? If that's the way Audition works that might be a deal breaker for me. I make hundreds of cuts in every edit and it would waste a lot time having to select and drag every time before adding a cr

It was a very slow and quiet movie I saw on the IFC channel sometime around 2000.

I think the mom character was a photographer because I remember a lot of framed prints in their home. There was a repeating scene of some old women at bus stop. I think the mom was depressed. She took a bath in one scene. The boy would go down to the shore and play on the rocks and ice.

I just got new bass drum heads (20” kick): coated Remo Powerstroke 3 batter and coated Evans EQ3 resonant. Trying for a warmer, slightly more open sound than what I get with my go to combo of Evans EMAD2 and EMAD resonant.

But it sounds terrible. The Powerstroke 3 just sounds dead. Like a finger tight floor tom. And then as I’m tightening the lugs eventually it starts to sound like a floor tom with an old, dead head and lots of moon gel.

With the EMADs my bass drum would sound the same from behind and in front of the kit but I noticed with the new heads although it sounds terrible from behind the kit, when I put my head right next to the resonant head and hit the pedal with my hand it so

I’ve been wanting to get a DW 5000 because of all the love for that pedal I see around here, and I heard Ilan Rubin say he uses one. I went to my local Guitar Center to try one out but they didn’t have any in stock. However they did have (used) a 3000, a 7000, and a Tama Iron Cobra 600 as well as a Speed Cobra 910.

I found the texture on the DW pedals to really inhibit my doubles which I suspected and is the main reason I wanted to test one before buying. Like my shoe just stuck to the pedal. The Tamas were slick,much like my current pearl eliminator and easier to play. I didn’t even know the speed cobra existed until yesterday but I think it may have been my favorite.

Does anyone else f

I recently picked up a set of Zildjian L80s thinking this, along with my mesh drum heads, would allow me to finally play my drums at night after I've completed all of my familial responsibilities and my wife and kids are sleeping. Nope.

I have a small closet-like space in my basement that I use for all of my music gear. I set up the L80s and tested the volume levels with an SPL app on my phone, sitting on my throne at my kit.

Results (average db): Crash: 70-80db Ride: 80-85db Hi-hats (open): 110-115db

The hi-hats are loud. Definitely way quieter than regular hats but still much louder than I was expecting. On most decibel level charts, anything over 80 is considered "loud" and anything o

The previous owners of my house built a large (think small office size) closet into the corner of the basement. The two exterior walls are underground and the two walls/door that they framed to make the closet are unfinished studs with wood paneling on the outside. So if I remove the paneling I'll be starting with bare framed walls.

I don't need studio level "soundproofing" but what could I do relatively cheaply ($1000 or less) to make that room suitable for playing acoustic drums? Insulate and double drywall? I play jazz, country, pop, moderate rock. No metal, no double bass, small 4 piece kit, I'm a light hitter.

How likely is it that one could get a job editing in a foreign country? Preferably in Canada or Europe, but anywhere would be fine.

I recently bought a bass guitar. I've always played guitar but I wanted a bass for writing/recording demos. I was messing around last night learning some scales and I realized I had kind of forgotten just how hard drumming is, like really playing not just bashing out a beat. I mean, I was sitting there with my legs crossed, relaxed, not sweating, and I was making music with just my fingers! I wasn't worried about limb independence, finger control, tuning 4 different instruments (4 piece kit), bothering the neighbors, etc.

I love drumming. I'm a drummer. I'm not saying bass or guitar are "easy" but it's amazing (and I don't think many non drummers realize) just much time, money, and concentr

I play a 20/12/14 kit. I usually use coated 2 ply heads, like Evans G2 and I can get the sound I want. The 12x8 tom sounds great. The 14x14 floor tom sounds great too BUT the sustain is unrelenting, which I know can be an issue with 14x14s. That thing sings like a gong. Tuning hasn't solved the problem. Moon gels help but it reaches a point where it sounds dead. I'm thinking about trying an Evans HD Genera or HD Dry (both of which are typically snare heads) combined with a coated resonant. Not having matching heads on the toms will drive me crazy, but if it sounds better I can live with it.

Anyone else experienced this or tried different heads on different toms?

Anyone checked out Dave Weckl's new online school? It looks great, really comprehensive but $30/month seems steep to me. Am I just being cheap?

For years my 2 crashes have been 18" and 20" A Customs. Lately I've started to find the 18" a bit too splashy and high pitched and it seems to decay too fast. I love the 20". It's surprisingly versatile for an A Custom. Sounds good at all volume levels. I'm considering replacing the 18" with a 21" Sweet Ride to be used as a crash. Do you guys think that would pair well with the 20" A Custom?

I've always felt that it is very inefficient to have floor toms on the floor and off to the side. With a 1 up 1 down set up it's a long way to go from rack tom to floor tom. Obviously thousands of drummers don't have an issue with this but I find it bothersome. I've always wondered what it would be like to put my floor tom in front of me (raised a bit) and immediately to the right of my rack tom and move the bass drum off to the right and play it with the left pedal of a double bass pedal. I've never wanted to drop the cash on a double pedal just to try this. Maybe I should borrow one.

I want to put together a cheap "beater" kit for local gigs. Something I can toss in my car set up on stage and not have to worry about sweat/beer/rain etc. I'm tired of stressing about my nice kit getting damaged and/or me forgetting pieces at the end of the night instead of just playing and having fun.

So for this beater kit to still sound as good as reasonably possible would you guys recommend something new and cheap like a used Gretsch Catalina or getting some cheap vintage drums, maybe some that have a little ply separation or something that can be easily fixed?

I've joined my first cover band after over 10 years of playing originals with various bands. Those of you that play in cover bands do you learn every fill and pattern as it's played on the recordings or do you just learn the arrangement and feel out the fills and transitions as you're playing?

The fills and transitions on the records are so good I want to play them note for note but I feel like I'm wasting a lot of time on 2-3 seconds of each song when I have 30+ songs to learn.
