Hi there, Where mah Windows and Pro Tools guys at?!?! lol HELP!... I have had and used successfully 2 BCF2000 units for the last 6-7 years on my mid-2011 Apple imac. They worked great in getting me 16 channels of control faders (each unit was plugged into it's own USB port) in Pro Tools 9, 10...

Hi there, I am on PT 11 (trying to switch over from PT10), on a 2011 imac w/ Mountain Lion and an Echo Audiofire12 firewire interface. It works fine in PT10, but in PT11, I can't choose from my i/o menu to, say, use a piece of outboard gear as an insert like I would use a plugin. The i/o...

I have constructed x8 ceiling clouds for my new studio and they are all 2" OC703 2x4 panels inside wood frames, wrapped in burlap. I have purchased some eyebolts to screw into the back of the frame at all four corners. I was going to buy some j-hooks and put them in the ceiling (using anchors or...

I am redesigning my entire studio from the ground up maybe you saw that thread. Anywho, I will now be putting some 5-U desktop racks on my desk which will double as a place to put my monitors on top of. Now...I will be using Auralex Mopads which can either have your monitors sitting, angled...

I have been looking into getting a 40" LED 1080p HDTV as main monitor (mounted on wall) and using my 27" iMac as my sidecar smaller monitor. But I would use it as an extension (not screen share where it's the exact same thing). So in PT (I'm on 10/11 now), I'd typically have the mix window on...

Just thought this was worth a chuckle and wanted to share the laughter. You may enjoy, especially the last three pics on this page! Ethan and Glen, looks like you guys are in for some pretty tight competition with these folks. Carry-on Vocal Booth Pro Images If you didn't find this comical...

Hey all, Sorry if I should be posting this in my own studio build thread, but I thought it may be of value to have it as a unique thread so that others can benefit if they are having the same issues as I am... After I finish painting the studio, I will start installing my corner superchunks (4...

Power conditioners into a "Home Theatre Surge Protector" into single wall outlet? Sup holmies. Silly question for the day. While I may have taught myself how to solder a mic cable, I'm not the guru on electrical currents and the like (my dad came by and helped re-wire all the outlets in my new...

My question basically stems from the whole 44.1k vs 96k debate. Theory #1 (which i am cool with and wish to adhere to): Some people say the difference between a raw 44.1k recorded track vs the same raw 96k recorded track is negligible and would require superhuman hearing to tell the difference...

Just curious what everyone else does to prepare your room for recording guitar amps? Everyone has different ways of doing things (myself included), so I wanted to hear your methods. To keep it generic, let's say we are close mic'ing and maybe also an occasional distant mic (additonal) for a rock...

Hey hey e'rybahday I have a few different outboard tube rack units I like to use while mixing in real time (and tracking). On my interface/patchbay system, I just patch it in during a mix (like a plugin insert on a track or bus) and mix in real time with them. I've always heard that tube gear...

Hi there, Soundtoys has released a "Primal Tap" delay plugin based on a retro 70's d delay. It's really cool and pretty down and dirty sounding and well, with RETRO vibe! To get it FREE, follow the instructions in my link and use my code that is automatically entered at the bottom...

If doing triangular superchunks in the 4 vertical corners of a room, what material do you think would be more suitable and why? Roxul R14 Comforbatt Roxul | Roxul Comfortbatt R14 For 2x4 Studs 16 In. On Centre | Home Depot Canada OR Roxul Safe n' Sound Roxul | Roxul Safe'n'Sound For Wood...

When I was in this cover band back in about 2006, we wanted some originals too as we were making a demo when I used to live with my parents. I had already recorded the drums and guitars before the band got together so I was like "record a guitar solo, bass track and vocal track and here's a...

As you may have seen on here (sorry if I am getting annoying popping up here and there), I am rebuilding a new studio. I am contemplating doing superchunks or just keeping the 4" thick basstrap coner panels I have made. However, for the price, buying some pink fluffy to make super chunks out of...

Hello all, since I love and learn a lot from all the studio build posts I see online, i thought I might as well share my experiences as well. I recently moved from my old house where I had a separate control on an upper floor and a couple tracking rooms on the lower floor (one super dead, one...

I am completely baffled at the lack of any info I have found on the subject anywhere online. All;s I can find is people getting waaaayyyyy too over-complicated and talking about dimmers and transformers and circuits and blah, blah, blah. I am the average layman when it comes to lighting so I...

Hi there. I was going to pick up a Yamaha SPX90 used for a pretty good price since I've heard some cool uses/stories about it from some pros. I checked it out and it looks like there is only one input on the back, and then a pair of stereo outputs. So what I am wondering is, how you'd send...

Hi all, More often than not, when i am mixing a rock tune (or other genres) I always end up mixing in triggered samples for the individual drums (mostly just kick and snare), mixed in with the live drums, and sometimes, 100% replacement if it calls for it. I use Steven Slate Trigger EX and...

Hi there, As a secondary pair of reference monitors that have a stronger midrange and attenuated lows,which sort of are supposed to play the same role as NS10's would, I am currently using a pair of the original silver Japan-made Realistic Minimus 7 bookshelf speakers. I am powering them with a...
