Does anyone know roughly how much it costs to use a recording studio?

Author: admin Category: Home Studio Soundproofing

i dont really want to make one at home because it seems like that would be more expensive. Like i would have to buy a new computer, a mike, get stuff to soundproof the walls, download software. etc etc.
$50 an hour is a good guess. I would not record things at home unless you had [...]

What comes at the expense of increased noise reduction (for luminance and color) in Lightroom 2?

Author: admin Category: Noise Reduction

a rock concert varies from 110 to 140 dB, and sounds louder than 80 decibels are considered potentially dangerous.
so 12 dB reduction reduces that 110 to 140 to 98 to 128, [...]
