I'm starting to use the Waves WLM Plus as the last plugin on the master buss in Reaper. I'm using the EUB -R 128 LUFS 18 preset. getting several overs on the short term portion but no overs on the long term readings. I understand why this is happening but I'm wondering how big a deal it is if...

Thoughts on the Art PRO MPA, not the digital one the 299.00 preamp and if I go from there into my Tascam 16x08 interface am I defeating the purpose of the preamp. I know dumb question but I want to be sure I'm gaining something before I buy the preamp . My main vocal mics are the AKG C214 and...

Would like to know peoples thoughts on using wind screens as well as pop filters on larger condenser mics. I have a sibilance problem especially s's and though I'm trying to be careful when I sing I'm also looking at other options. I've tried the proximity thing, I do not have a treated vocal...

Looking for a good and moderately priced headphone amp. Just enough to drive one or two sets. I do like it clear and loud. By the time I set my Tascam 16x08 USB interface to the proper recording levels I just don't get the monitoring I like. Maybe I'm missing something here. I can get the play...

I am finding the whole mixing and mastering subject quite confusing. In the professional world I think practices, methods and procedures are pretty well defined based on the client and style of music. But in the hobbyist, amateur, and prosumer areas things don't seem to be as clear cut even...

Anyone here using the Yamaha HS8's, Opinions vs others in that price range.

I have noticed a latency issue with my Tascam USB 16x08 interface. When I record in Reaper with direct monitoring everything monitors fine but on playback the vocal is not synced with the original tracks. I seem to not have this problem if I power up the Tascam before Iboot the computer or...

Is one better than the other or are they just different. Each works better in different situations etc?

Some thoughts and things I have noticed while recording vocals in my non-acoustical treated space. My room is finished livable space with rugs covering most of the floor, ceiling tile, drywall walls. I have found some interesting things mostly by accident, through headaches and problem...
