    Using iPad as a control surface

    Does anybody here have experience of using an iPad as a control surface, particularly with Pro Tools? I'm thinking of buying an iPad for the house, but I'm wondering if I could also use it in my home studio setup, thus allowing me to sell off my Command|8. Thanks in advance! Mark

    Mixing snare drums

    A lot of the tracks that I have been mixing tend to have both top and bottom snare mic tracks. Currently, the way I have managed my workflow is to just send both tracks to the drum buss, and then applying eq / compression etc to the individual snare tracks. This feels like a bit of a bind, for...

    Low pass / Hi pass filters - Comp vs EQ

    Say I'm applying a hi-pass filter to a track, and I'm also applying compression, is it better to use an EQ plugin to provide the hi-pass filter, or does using the sidechain hi-pass filter on the compression plug-in achieve the same effect? Obviously this way I only have to use one plug-in...

    Expanding my mic collection - what to invest in?

    Hi, I'm relatively new to home recording, and my plan is to build up my equipment over time. Currently the only mic I have is a Sure SM58, and so I'm looking to invest in some more mics. My plan was to invest in a pair of stereo matched small condensers, and a single LDC. The LDC would act as...
