OOOh! Yes! I like it! This could be the one! I only 'need' 2 aux outs, 4 would be nice, but I can live. Other than that I think it hits everything on my list. Thanks!

We have a Tascam DP24 already (is that what you're referring to?). It has only 1 main out and no AUX out. Plus (and I was not clear about this in my original post), it has only 8 inputs. It can record up to 24 channels, but not simultaneously. We need at least 11 inputs (I'd prefer 16). I did...

I'm looking for recommendations for a new console. My band would like to spend less than $1K, but I assume we're heading closer to $2K. Needs: Onboard multi-track recording, preferably to an SD card. We practice and record in this space, but I edit/mix/master at another location. I'd rather not...

That helped, Chili, thank you. I'm getting more comfortable with the idea of releasing singles for download, but I'm confused as to how you finish the product. An album has cover art, liner notes, packaging, etc. How do you package a single? Is cover art a thing anymore? Where do you put...

In this day and age, is the studio album what it once was? My band has been together for 8 years. We have over 40 fairly-awesome, original tunes. We have our own "recording studio", nothing fancy but definitely effective. We play out, but due to our schedules, etc. we don't play out often...

I may take that advice for our next project. This is a big year for us. We're self-releasing a live album now, but also putting 2 studio albums together. I'll need someone to master the studio albums for me

Oh, the rabbit holes... So, DDP. I've been reading up on it. Are open source DDP creators worth-while or is it type of thing that you get what you pay for? What's worse, open source or skipping the step? Thanks!!

Thanks Massive, that was an incredibly concise and helpful response! That explains a lot. Now I have a few more questions: 1. Why 16-bit? Is more bit not better? 2. What shape dithering do you recommend? 3. We are going to CD with the Atomic Eco-Pack. However, We're also offering a download. I...

We're preparing to self-release our 1st official album. I feel like I'm missing a step. I'm trying to create the final files to send off for reproduction and download. I've exported my session to stereo 44100 24 .wav files. I then used mp3Tag to fill in all the details/metadata including Artist...

This isn't one of those vague "what monitors do you recommend?" threads, this is a "What is the absolute cheapest monitor worth buying?" thread? Obviously, the sky is the limit with monitors, but we don't have the budget for sky. We mix through an old school Sony receiver right now, then...

A little of both. Functional is the priority, but this is our practice space and studio. We spend a lot of time in there and aesthetics do matter.

Ok, I didn't get a change to test it, but I can believe bypassing the plugin may not be enough, maybe removing it would solve the problem. That does not explain why this "anomaly" only occurred on the FF-L, not 2 other limiters. Why would FabFilter-L accentuate this issue and not 2 other...

Boulder, I read your edit. Can you explain? By "stereo generation tool", do you mean my Channel Tools Increasded Width plugin, or am I generating stereo elsewhere? I bypassed the plugin but with no change in the result. Is the FF-L generating stereo? Why is this only happening with the FF-L...

Thanks for the quick reply, Boulder. I'm unclear what you're suggesting, nothing is panned. Everything is dead center.

I hope this isn't a dumb question. Sorry. I have a live session mixed. Everything is dead center, except a guitar stereo bus using a Channel Tools Increased Width plugin. I put the FabFilter-L on the stereo bus. As I boosted the gain, I'd get a proportional stereo spread (maybe phase shift?)...

You guys rock. That's what I was looking for! Thanks!

Small studio. Angled roof. We built a small wall of owens-corning 703 around the drum kit. Now I don't have room for the overhead mic stand. I have 2 small diaphragm mics in an X/Y on a stereo bar. I have just enough room for a mic stand in front of the kick, however when the mics are in the...

Thank you for your input, I probably was not very clear in my question, that's not quite what i was asking. Although I do agree with you completely. What I'm asking is, from a Cakewalk point of view, what is the correct way to go from session to album? I'm looking at a live session right now...

I'm ashamed to ask this. My band has been recording for several years, but we have not yet produced a finished product.... until now. How do you go from a session, or multiple tracks, to an album. Do you just save each tune individually and manage the organization during reproduction? Is there a...

Thanks DM60, this is the unit I was considering. It looks great. Has anyone used one?
