    S/PDIF recording vs. WAV exporting

    You lucky b******! ;) I have long wished the VS1680 could do that. I think what you want to do depends on how critical the project is, certainly exporting a wav file is bit-for-bit an exact copy, whereas recording via the SPDIF into the PC's soundcard can introduce things such as jitter...

    Nice Vocals On This One...

    Cool tune. I also would like to hear a little more bass in the mix (my personal taste). The high hat track seemed like it could stand to be pushed back a tad or a bit more reverb applied. The constant 16th note pattern is a little fatiging, perhaps some slight variations, but that's personal...

    Brand new tune! This should rock you proper!

    Thanks very much guys! You made my day! I am definitely planning to write and record some more with Dave. I love his vocal style, we just have to find some time between our schedules. Silverhammer - will let you know as soon as we have some more recordings! Thanks. MAC2 - Yes I agree that the...

    Brand new tune! This should rock you proper!

    Thank you all for your insight and comments, guys. I am relieved to hear that the bass response translates well across different monitoring situations, and will definitely take everyone's comments into account when remixing, especially regarding the lead vocal. I'm trying to get it to sit just...

    First attempt at rec--critiques and feedback requested. Thanks!

    Nice tune/song. Regarding your SB Live!, I used to use SB, have you set the sample rate conversion quality to the Best setting? It might help a little bit. Control Panel/Multimedia/Audio tab/Recording/Advanced Properties. Definitely get a SM57 or perhaps one of the budget large diaphram...

    Brand new tune! This should rock you proper!

    Thank you too, theron! Thanks much, you're right, we were all feeling mixed up here lately, and we wanted to write about the 9/11 events, but without being blatent about it. We did seem to let off a little steam during the session. Writing music like this is a release valve for me. After the...

    Brand new tune! This should rock you proper!

    Much thanks Bassman! I'm glad you listened on different speakers too. I monitor on Event Tria and sometimes it seems a little difficult to get accurate low freq response, probably due to my room. My mixes often turn out bass heavy, probably because I like that sound, but when not careful it can...

    Brand new tune! This should rock you proper!

    Hi fellow diehard home recordist! I've been back down in my studio writing and recording and recently (Monday) got together with some friends of mine and recorded this - BLACK CLOUD I'll leave it up to you guys to figure out the lyrical content, if you're into lyrics. It does have a double...

    New mix of song, would appreciate review and thoughts on the lead vocal

    Jake, I have been thinking along similar lines. I felt like the mids made it not sit well. I really appreciate you taking the time to analyze it. I have been EQ the lead vocals on some later tracks and think I'm getting closer to the sound I want. I will also play around with the predelay on...

    New mix of song, would appreciate review and thoughts on the lead vocal

    Thanks, Shana. The delayed vocal was done by copying the track to a spare track and editing the phrase into the proper time positioning. I was more concerned with how the vocal sits in the mix. To me it seemed sort of mid-rangey sounding, and didn't sit quite right. I have thoughts of remixing...

    New mix of song, would appreciate review and thoughts on the lead vocal

    Well, considering all we kept were the drum tracks and backing vocals from the BBR seesion, and retracked everything else on a VS1680, I'd say it was a home recording. Besides, does it matter whether the SSL is in a suite or in a basement? If I had the SSL here in my house would that qualify...

    New mix of song, would appreciate review and thoughts on the lead vocal

    Hi, the song is called "Tell You Again (2001)" and is a new mix of an older song. I like the mix so far, except for maybe the lead vocal. I have second thoughts about the EQ and how it sits in the mix. I am awaiting my TC-Helicon VoicePrism to arrive. I plan on remixing some other tracks with...

    Recording stereo guitar tracks in ADAT studio. What's the quickest way?

    Thanks again for the replies. The studio we're going into is where Meatloaf did post-production for his Storytellers CD, so I trust these guys. They're very, very straightforward. They offer both 32 track ADAT and 24 track analog. We are fortunate that the band has an investor that is fronting...

    Recording stereo guitar tracks in ADAT studio. What's the quickest way?

    Thanks! Well, after weeks of rehearsing the parts (not to mention they have already been recorded several times), I can assure you I have the parts down. I would love the luxury of being able to double track the parts - but time will not allow. I had not considered the double mic'ing...

    Making an MP3 with the VS1680EX ??

    Transfer to PC to create mp3 file You cannot transfer audio from the 1680 to your PC via SCSI (this is a highly sought after feature a lot of 1680 users want!), however if you have a soundcard of decent quality and it has S/PDIF ins/outs, you can record a stereo wav file of your finished song...

    Recording stereo guitar tracks in ADAT studio. What's the quickest way?

    My band will be going into a studio equipped with 32 tracks of ADAT and we'll be mixing on an SSL 6056 E/G (!). We'll be re-recording 4-5 songs, but our current budget will require us to work expeditiously. I want to record all the rhythm guitar tracks in stereo, without having to record each...

    Beware of Behringer

    No need for the lawyer, you've already hurt Behringer more than you know. I've always heard stories about them, but this one is for keeps. I for one will never buy a Behringer product, simply because of their customer support. The internet goes a long way, and companies should be wise to this...
