Hi guys, I am mixing an ep and most of the tracks were recorded with the same drum bass and guitar setup. Is there a way I can transfer my eq, dynamics and plugins from one song to the next, or do I just get pen and paper and copy settings across, or bring the other wavs into the project...

Hey guys, I am fairly new to the idea of working in the box so my question relates to the limitations of the magical machine! I have a really good drum track and a pretty good bass track.... I didn;t use a click, so the song will be speeding up and slowing down all the time (unnoticable). The...

Hey guys, do differnet programs sound different? or is that entirely up to your soundcard. That is; if I use the same soundcard to record the same noise on Nero Wave Editor and then Cubase or Pro Tools, will they sound the same?

I'm a little giddy about writing this, but were looking at hiring some high end pres for a tracking sessionwe have coming up. There is not too much out there in Melbourne and my options are pretty much limited to GML 4 x Pre Neotek (only two channel) API x 4 I am after four channels, and the...

All of a sudden I find myself in a position where I am staring down the barrell of a 57 at rehearsals and no longer sitting behind the drum kit... This does wonders for my ego, but being made frontman (i won;t say singer) has a down side for me.... I tend to pretty much yell, which was fine...

Does anyone know of a comprehensivee list of singers and whish mics they use? I found one in "Audio Technology Magazine" (Australian) by Joe Chiccarelli, which was quite insightful but somewhat short; perhaps you can add too the list. I know its a little difficult as most singers would...

A mate of mine bought an ES137 copy purely on playabilty (it plays really well). Unfortunatly the pickups leave a lot to be desired. They are fairly dull sounding, cheap, fluffy pickups. He asked for some advice on versatile pickups to suit the beast. any ideas?

well it looks like I'm about to embark on the egomaniacal journey that is being a front man. While I'm not huge on lots of reverb and delay (a little bit of plate would be fine), I do have the occasional need for a distorted vocal. In the studio we had really good success with a boss bass...

This is a case of wanting my cake and eating it too. I plan on recording my drums with a mono overhead, purely because I love the way the overhead sounds through my Mono TLA Fatman Channel strip. I tried recording with dual overheads, but not going through the Fatty just didn't cut it for the...

Hey guys, not the best clip, I know, but I feel like I'm getting closer to "my sound". Its a little bit dirty in the top end (intentional) a little "over" compressed (intentional) and its got a bloody guitarist strumming along ;), has plenty of room sound. It's probably not hi-fi enough for...

I was just wondering if anyone knew the differences between the 163 and 163x. I know the "X" has an out put gain knob and Hi-z input. the 163 was US made and the 163x Chinese and HongKong, but are there any significant sonic differences?

i'm after a some stand alone mastering software. i really like the way the t-racks interface is set up, and the sound can be cool for some stuff, but i want something a little (lot) less coloured. soundforge looks cool but i think i'm going to be paying for bells and whistles i won't be...

my guitarist want to switch between his jcm800 and mosfet100 during songs, this is simple enoug with the use of an a/b box... question is his cab has only one input, can we just use a Y connector here and have both amps running through the cabinet without blowing each other up??? the speakers...

just thought i'd share this cool pic of my live room... the wood panneling on the backand side wall are zig zagged about 10deg. the go betweens are about 3/4" ply (heavy). the red and tie dyed sheets partition the area from the other 2/3 of the building, and probably don't do much...

Last nite my bass player and i spent a little time tuning my toms to notes in the key of the song we were playing, it was only about a tone away from being in key already. The drums sat very well in the mix. I would always tune my kit to itself with good results, but it definatly pays to tune...

i want to chain some compressors for a vocal track, since i find myself compressing on the way to tape and during mix down. the vocalist uses a 57 and has a very dynamic rock voice (like hetfield with a little less "hetfield") with some rasp and heaps of charachter. the comps i would consider...

Something that strikes me as being odd is the a-d converters in a lot of "prosumer" gear. Lets take the m-audio tampa for instance, one would imagine the converters would be somewhat similar to those in m-audio soundcards, so if you had both, aside froma short cable run what's the big deal...

i don't mean "do you sit in your underwear with a schultz helmet on", i mean do you do all your mixing on computer? flying fader on digital mixers? set all your faders to the right spot on an analog console and dump it onto something? let your little fingers dance across the faders and be the...

hey guys, i'm looking at getting a new channel strip, something with a pre and a compressor (eq would be excellent)... i can't justify spending a hell of a lot of money, and i could go for something neutral or coloured, as long as it doesn't sound like crap. mostly be recording garage/stoner...
