Dear Joni, Answers within your text Joni: > So here's a question about using Audacity. On my CD, I used ... PROF: I'm sure Jim W would say something like, "It...
Hey Jonji, Well, the Professor is right about me saying, "it doesn't matter how", unless you want to do it again sometime... then it matters:). Once you have...
I just finished reading Ed Fagen's book on steam whistles (The Engines Moan). It seems a lot of whistles were used at factories and anyplace else for low water...
Hey David, Very cool:)... One can never have enough whistles and bells. Context is so important. I am working on several factory scenes (at the same time:),...
Thanks for the memories David. I remember the old factory whistles well. One of them taught me the reality of the speed of sound; we lived in the country ...
Hey Bob, One of the best things about factory whistles is that they are prototypically a prominent aural feature, and really should be heard from other scenes,...
Couldn't you play it at a lower volume out of secondary speakers? Use the control of the the primary track to trigger a second channel. Just my guess. Jim...
Really...not being facetious here but.... how about simply turning up the delay/echo on your effects processor? (and,of course, keeping the volume of the...
Good question Jim, In HO I suspect the speed of sound would be ~ 25 feet per second. That means on my layout there would be ½ second between the original at...
