Can I use new speaker cable on my vintage amp + speakers?

Hi there! I’m looking to extend how far away I can place my two Pioneer speakers from my TransAudio amp. I understand that the cords to the left and right speaker need to be equidistant regardless of the spacing of the speakers to avoid any sound delay.

My main question is, can I use this modern generic speaker cord or do I need something more specific? If this cord is okay, I imagine I’ll have to also buy some sort of “head” to connect the cord to the devices?

Thank you in advance for any help!!

There's nothing to go off besides, the brand and the cable, i know very little about speakers and was wondering if these are passive or active or other, and would like to know if I need an amp or something to plug into my pc

How to clean up MP3 file for a client

0 Upvotes

I work with a client who has severe traumatic brain injury. He can no longer sing or swallow, but was a musician before his injury. He has a 20+ old MP3 file of terrible quality that he wants to publish. I found a few apps that will clean up some of the noise, but they don’t appear to be worth the cost. Does anyone have any suggestions? He doesn’t have the money to get the assistance of a sound engineer or anything, we just want the quality to be better enough for him to publish. This is also the only audio recording of his voice. I appreciate your suggestions!

Why are my DynAudio monitors making this noise?

For the last two months, my DynAudio monitors have been making this static/crackling noise.

This started happening after I moved into my new apartment. I switched around the XLR cables, updated my focusrite audio drivers and plugged my monitors in different outlets and nothing changed.

The only thing I can think of is that during transport, they may have been exposed to heat from direct sunlight at certain points while they were in the truck in transportation, as I didn’t the original box or a box big enough to pack it in. I packed it in a plastic container. Anyways, does anyone know the cause and is this repairable? What should I do? Thank you!

interview of two people

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I´m new into audio. I always just recorded one person so I had no problems. Now I have two persons in a dialogue with two mics.

I will have two audio tracks but the two microphones pick up what the other person says too. For example Person A talks and in the mic from the Person B you can hear Person A but 20-40% less dominant. I dont have a boom operator or can always turn down the other person. Do I need to cut out then the Person B mic ? My other following question is how do I do that if they interrupt themselves or talking both at the same time / laughing etc. Then I think its very hard to cut in between and turn off the other mic ?

Will this cause "long editing" for my understanding its like I cut a very long video twice. One time where I edit, cut etc. and the other time where I try to turn on and off the two mics ?

I would appreciate any help and answers.
