    I am about to buy the recording setup of my dreams......last minute sanity check that there is not a better option out there for me.

    Well there you go! That’s good to know. I know with FireWire, even at the lowest buffer settings, I had trouble tracking bass. So when I saw that complaint come up repeatedly in reviews I decided to look elsewhere. Pretty sure the audient is usb 4 but I only use input monitoring for logic...

    I am about to buy the recording setup of my dreams......last minute sanity check that there is not a better option out there for me.

    One thing to consider since I haven’t seen it mentioned yet, is that the presonus you’re looking at doesn’t have direct monitoring. I was giving it a serious look last year and that was the biggest complaint that I noticed. Basically, you would have set up all cue mixes using input monitoring in...

    Mono, Stereo, or Double?

    I didn’t get scientific with it. It was just where it sounded good. Too close, and like Rob said, the side mic is pointed at the nut. Also, based on previous experiments, a fraction off center and you get a weird issue between the side mics. So placement in this case was done with the front and...

    Mono, Stereo, or Double?

    No need to give up. The question asked was what choice would you make, in what situation and why. I think you have provided a detailed and knowledgeable answer and I, for one, have learned a great deal. To clarify, although I used an acoustic guitar from a specific song as an example, the...

    Mono, Stereo, or Double?

    So I’m finishing up the mix of a song I’ve been playing acoustically for years (actually, I should just put it down and walk away because at this point I can only jack it up) and it got me curious. I tracked the acoustic with a m/s configuration. I did this because I wanted it to anchor the...

    Mac users: Logic Pro or Reaper?

    So first up, if all you want to do is set up mics and DI boxes and record instruments and vocals and then mix them, then reaper is an excellent platform. Like it’s seriously good. Great editing capabilities, more than capable fx, super flexible routing, etc. If you are looking to produce your...

    What DAW are you using?

    When I first got the Studio Live I would use Capture to record shows. I tried mixing them in in studio one but never really liked it which prompted me to get logic

    What DAW are you using?

    I started with traction and hated it. Not having a “mixer” was more than I could handle. Saw a screenshot of reaper w/ the stealth theme and thought it looked cool. Checked it out and really found it easy to work with. I still miss how easy certain things were. A program at the VA supplied me...

    M/S processing vs. M/S recording

    What everyone else said. I’m just finishing a song where the acoustic guitar is serving as the anchor chord element and it’s recorded in m/s with a 57 and a fathead( the only mics I currently have.) One thing I would add for m/s recording is mono compatibility. Because the right and left are...

    So I just bought this Blue Yeti mic.....

    Are you exclusively doing voice over work and are you the producer or strictly the talent? If your intention is solely spoken word and especially if you’re just recording your voice, making edits and sending it off then the yeti should be just fine. I’ve never used that specific mic but I got...

    New Members: Introduce Yourself Here!

    Hey all, I’m Lance. Getting back in the game after having to sell off all my gear, twice! On the other hand, I’ve done more in the last month than I have in the last eight years so maybe I just had too many options. Anyway, I’m back in it with a new perspective on what is actually important...
