Any ideas on what kind/brand of ribbon mic is a good investment?

I think the TDM package has the RTAS option for PC. Cloneboy had mentioned that as being the case - but don't quote me. Its the more expensive version compared to AC for LE.

How sweet. Hey - you mentioned the unlinked mode of PSP Warmer - does that simulate the multi mono mode???

I have been using PSP Vintage warmer in ProTools LE - and as an RTAS effect it doesn't seem to do multi-mono like the AC Channel. But, as an effect over all, its pretty cool for "warming" up the mix. You can kind of use it as tube and tape with the presets as a good starting point. But I...

Short of foaming the walls - what is the best condition for at home mixing?

Any tips for processing drum machine tracks? I am not after total realism - but are there things to keep in mind?

It's probably the room - and my own ineptitude. I went back and listened to the mix, and it kind of sucked. I guess I was thinking it was better than it was. I will have to train myself for the room some more. But all the issues everyone has stated are applicable. The main issue is that I...

Well - I bounce down to 24 bit then I open that up in a seperate 24 bit session. I was trying to output it from there using various dither setups like a Waves Ultramaximizer - but that did drive the volume up quite a bit. What do you use as a "mastering" chain?

Yeah - its more of about the quality of the mix then the sheer volume. It probably has more to do with environments too.

I have asked this of everyone before but here it goes again. I have a good mix in ProTools LE. I am happy, it sounds full, nice, whatever. I bounce it to 16 bit stereo for a CD and it sounds so thin...weak...aenimic. What am I doing wrong? In other words - why does God hate me??? People...

Plugz make the sound in the DAW - I have found to create the slightest illusion of "naturalism" with sound requires some plug in power. Needless effects are another story - I am talking about sound shaping.

Agreed. Life before Genelec.

Yeah, that is lame. When I recorded at a pro studio - the engineer would listen to the guitar parts through a shit speaker in the Studer reel to reel. It was weird, but he swore by it. It sounded like a transistor radio.

On the Mbox - there is a button that says mono. I am not sure what the fuck it does do - cause it makes no difference to push it. Yeah - I meant to check, not mix entirely.

I have been told its good to mix through a variety of speakers - I was wondering if mixing through small computer speakers is a good alternative to my pro monitors? Any thoughts? Plus - This is retarded - but what's the best way to hook up a mono source - what to use?

So they can phase out the source? Another question - I used some tape and tube saturation plugins on my drums (its a drum machine - I am going for a more retro sound) and they are good but a little "thick" for lack of a better word. Is this because I have warmed/compressed them too much...

I think the content outweighs the stylization. True about the video editing filters - overkill. My first week on the Avid got that out of my system.

Um.....radical. Can we start an unsolicited advice thread now?

Damn, you are pretty when you are giving good advice. Actually, I arrived at this truth after making some mistakes. I am Mr. Stems now - you are right, nothing is ever final and that was a big concern. When you deactivate the track and its plugz - it doesn't draw any CPU, right? What about...

How did I know Eventide was going to enter into this? Yeah - is Soundtoys going to convert their shit into RTAS for fucking PC? WTF? Thanks dudes.
