    24 tracks at 96k live recording: will this setup keep up?

    Oh, i hear what you're saying. This is very true. But none the less, even with poor pre's and converters, 96k would have some benefit, especially when editing will be involved. I wish there was a bigger budget for better pre's and converters... maybe in the future (this first run is a trial...

    24 tracks at 96k live recording: will this setup keep up?

    Bluray and HD-DVD both use 96k so I was aiming for those goal, can always bring it down. I'm not sure the client will require 96k yet, but I was just looking into it. I plan on running 2 firewire 400 drives for audio only (each sharing half of the load). I could go dual internal but my G5...

    Surround mics in medium auditorium...?

    Anyone have advice on how to mic a medium auditorium for surround sound? Recording about 24 tracks of a band consisting of drums, perc, keys, bass, nylon string guitar and an occasional vocal. It will be aired on an HD satellite station and sent to DVD. I'm thinking just a pair of rear room...

    Tiny bedroom or Bare garage?

    So I could turn the same traps on the side and do a ceiling to wall "corner" rather than floor to ceiling corner and have the same effect? What about not putting them across the corners at all? Would 4 traps put right near the corner but not across it (perhaps two against the garage door and...

    Tiny bedroom or Bare garage?

    So my garage studio setup is moving along... I'm working on getting some bass traps and other treatment up in my room but I'm having some problems. I wanted to put up 2' x 8' x 2" 703 bass traps but my corners are very odd. The front two have a garage door about 15" from them and the garage...

    Tiny bedroom or Bare garage?

    Update: I've got some pictures linked in this post (ignore the pretty little dressers! They are from my girlfriends daycare... temp while I wait for my monitor stands). And here are a few questions: What's the easiest way to cover up and soundproof around the watermeter (you can really hear...

    Tiny bedroom or Bare garage?

    And yeah, the floor is that cheap. Gonna make 4 8x8' squares with ikea laminate floor and lay them in a square pattern to create a wood floor in the middle of the concrete. I also have 4 2x4' auralex clouds built on 2x2's and I was gonna add 703 behind then hang them over the workstation...

    Tiny bedroom or Bare garage?

    I didn't really want the wood to solve any sonic issues. Just seemed better than the concrete astetically and I don't want carpetting that is just gonna suck the highs out of the room. I already plan on getting a few bundles of oc703 and making 8 ft tall bas traps for the corners... plus a...

    Tiny bedroom or Bare garage?

    Also, can someone confirm my belief that my desk should go either by the garage door or by the house door? I'm assuming having a higher ceiling above one monitor as opposed to the other would be a problem...?

    Tiny bedroom or Bare garage?

    Yeah, I wanted to avoid the small room cause of some of those issues. But as for the floor, I was trying to avoid rugs just cause I'd rather not suck all the high end out of the room and it might end up doubling as a living room/chill area (being that I'm gonna have a big LCD tv for my monitor...

    Tiny bedroom or Bare garage?

    Ok, I want to set my studio up in the garage (2-car) but I have limited dampening material and the garage is basically an echo chamber. Concrete floor, all sheetrock not to mention 2 ceiling heights... First, I was thinking of putting 7mm Laminate wood, from ikea, over the concrete...

    wet/dry verb

    This is gonna be long and possibly confusing but I hope it helps... Well, first off, unless for a desired effect, running a reverb send prefader is not common practice. One reason being that, if you ride your vocal level using automation, the reverb send will not follow the up and down levels...

    How do you prevent sibilous vocals?

    First off, yes, it is sort of an annuciation thing. A properly trained vocalist SHOULD be able to sing with softer sibilance. But knowing that is not always an option try this (another option to avoid a de-esser hitting an ENTIRE vocal track): Set the high band of your vocal eq to the...

    Tips for overdriven guitar tone

    One other thing to note for those of you that don't realize... distortion is basically massive compression which is why your track looks solid; much like a commercial, hardcore-mastered final track... It's normal for a heavy guitar sound like that. And one more vote for "don't pay attention...

    Pre with "sweepable"/adjustable input impedance

    Yeah, I said the line input is fixed, but it is 1M ohms like I said. That straight from the manufacturer. Anyway, 10x output impedance..I'll give it a try. Thanks

    Pre with "sweepable"/adjustable input impedance

    Yeah, you're right. The front input is always equal to or greater than 1M Ohm, but I still have line level signals coming in the back cause that's the input I have on my patch bay...maybe I need to work around that. Anyway, still..with mics... Is there a danger of damage due to wrong input...

    Pre with "sweepable"/adjustable input impedance

    I'm looking for information on adjusting the input impedance on my new ART DPS II. I was thinking I'd just adjust it to match the output impedance of any particular mic I was using, but the manual makes it sound like I can use other impedances other than the mics output impedance to change the...
