    Alternative to UAD Plugins?

    Hello all, Hopefully this isn't such an abstract question, but I was wondering if anyone knows a company that makes plugins similar to that of UAD (especially the 1176, LA-2A, API-2500, 560 EQ, 550 EQ, SSL G Bus Compressor)? I have been using UAD and bought their OCTO satellite to run these...

    Unfortunately that is something I would have to purchase to test out myself. Don't really know anyone who makes music or owns such gear.

    Oh shoot....I should have added. All vocals I sent in post #14 were boosted by 8dB or so after recording to level match and make them louder. Male Vox was boosted by 10 dB or so after recording.

    After rigorous testing and busting my lungs belting notes I can't hit, I came to certain conclusions. Issue is not with WA73. In fact, the mic distorted VERY QUICKLY with plenty of headroom when using the Twin X's preamps. WA73 at 35 gain knob setting had 0 distortion. However, at the 45 gain...

    Well I don't think it's that "dead" but the reverb times according to REW are well below 200 ms from 20 KHz to like 185 Hz. I don't think it sounds odd. I will be running some experiments with my vocals today to see. I recorded a male client yesterday and it was horrendous at the settings I had...

    Thank you for this. I will start running a bunch of tests starting from the bare minimum. This is a long story but since you asked haha, I'll try to keep it short. Over the years I always sort out "professional" sounding vocals. I would have artist come to my studio, they'd pay me to record...

    I am trying some more things tomorrow when I have time to see if it's really all said and done with my current mic. I just thought that with all the thousands I spent in acoustic treatment + studio gear, I could finally just record vocals and not have to deal with distorted/resonant mess. I...

    Thank you all for your detailed responses. I will try playing with the different patterns. Unfortunately I cannot return the mic since I damaged the packaging it came with. This means I have to purchase a new one or possibly send this one back but get a lower amount that I purchased it for...

    Hello all, Hope you are all well. Hopefully I am posting this in the right section. So I have a home studio constructed in a basement with 4inch acoustic panels covering a good amount of the space. There are about 41 panels in total. I was trying to create as much trapping as possible. I have a...

    Audio Clipping/Meter in Cubase

    Hello guys, i have always had this problem in Cubase with the meter. When i add an instrument track, doesn't matter which one, they always come off too loud for cubase. They sound fine to me (no distortion) but the meter in cubase keeps hitting red. Although compared to other tracks (ex. midi...

    Autotune 6 and Cubase 6.5

    For some reason, I can insert autotune as a track insert but It does not show up as a plug in when I try to apply it to a specific location of the audio file. It is not in he list of available plugins but shows up as one when I want to insert a track effect.

    Buzz/Hum/Beep Sound from Mackie MR5

    Recently, i turned on my Mackie MR5s, the right one was working perfectly while the left one had a noise to it. When i played music, i could barely hear anything out of the left speakers. I just keep hearing this buzz/hum/beep sound, kinda like static noise. Sometimes i try turning it off and...

    Un-balanced output Setup

    Hey guys, i have been wondering if this is a usual problem or am i missing in a step in my setup. Every time i add an instrument track on Cubase 6, it appears to be too loud (the output monitor hits the red bar but i don't hear any distortion). The volume of the track is not reduced or turned up...
