In there, you have access to four different compressors, simple channel strip EQ, enhanced multi-band EQ, multi-band dynamic compressor, crossfades/track-marking, limiter, two different reverb modules, meta data/ISRC code input by...

    vocal compression using 2 compressors - can a single compressor do the same thing?

    Yes, you can use two compressors. And depending on where you put the second compressor in your chain (you may have other processes going on before and/or after the first compressor), will yield varying impacts on your final sound. You can have two or more of anything in your chain really...

    Micing Rototoms, take a look and weigh in...

    Hey guys, I have drums to record today with Rototoms on the kit. I've never recorded rotos before so here's what I came up with and thought I'd put it to the group for consideration/advice. Picture below of what I came up with. I have two constraints: low ceiling and only two inputs left after...

    S/PDIF, why?

    I did a search on HR and some Googling, but I still cannot figure why I could/should utilize S/PDIF on my interface for home recording. Not sure it matters, but I run Studio One for my DAW and I interface through a PreSonus 1818VSL. Anyway, I use USB for "real" audio and MIDI for, well, MIDI...

    Archiving Finished Projects

    I just finished another album (“finished” as in it has gone off to be turned into tapes/CDs and it is up on Amazon/iTunes/Spotify…) and so today I finally moved the sessions off of my main hard drive to my archive this morning. This time around I saved all the DAW session, everything, the stems...

    iZOTOPE Nectar Elements Flash-deal

    I have this. It's good for what it is. Don't believe the hype that it's all presets that can't be manipulated. The software is in fact designed around presets (dozens and dozens of them, grouped by musical styles/genres), each of which is very customizable. Some of the things you can change for...

    How to get more volume?

    Having trouble attaching this but here's another go at it. Anyway, not really sure what all there is to argue so much about here. Dude asked how to make it louder and I suggested a way to do so, which works (yes there are other ways to achieve the effect). But I mean if you want to argue...

    Audio Bussing Question - Signal Loss/Degradation

    Hey guys, I've noticed that if I have a huge audio bus, >10 channels, the volume of everything in that bus plummets WRT the overall mix. For instance, if I bus all eight of my drums tracks (k-s-lo-ro-hh-rd-rt-ft) to a drum bus for comp/EQ it's fine - no affect on volume in the mix; but, I've...

    DIY Studio Rack Project

    I just picked up the raw materials. I decided to go ahead and double the cabinet height from the original sketch. I figure I could store cables in the bottom or at least have room for future expansion. Current project cost: $43 I'm most intimidated by my plan to do an angled top where the...

    DIY Studio Rack Project

    Hey guys, I do most of my work "in the box" these days, and so I don't have a ton of outboard gear, but I decided to build a rack/cabinet for the few things I have just sitting around to get organized (but mainly just because I like having projects to do and building stuff). My initial design...

    GLS Audio ES-57 vs. Shure SM57 (on Guitar) Mic A/B Test - Video and WAV pics

    Hey guys - I often see the GLS Audio ES-57 cited as a "perfect SM57 clone" or cheaper alternative. I have been watching prices for a while and saw the ES-57 dip back down to $29.99 so I decided to pick one up to experiment with. First order of business was to A/B test the ES-57 against a...
