Hmmm... I was trying to remember where I saw prices... ..when I replied to this thread, but it isn't coming back to me.... oh wait... maybe it was the latest issue of EQ or Mix - I thought I saw the advert in there... (not very helpful... I know...) :( Bruce

If by "down to zero" you mean center-position, no boost or cut applied, then yes... that's a good technique. The point is to get the sound to tape right the first time, without resorting to EQ, which especially when boosting, can add unwanted phase anomalies which will muck up your sound. When...

Off-hand it sounds like you're not recording your levels hot enough to get them away from the high noise floor inherent in low-speed tape formats. Without more info, it's hard to pin-point exactly where the problem is occurring - can you provide more details on your gear? Bruce Valeriani Blue...

Hey Axis.... It's me ears that do the listening, not me eyes (on the gear's label!) ;) Bruce (But it IS hard to do, especially with the Behringer stuff!!!) :D

AND SO IT SHOULD BE.......... Radio Shack "gear" - YIKES!!!!!! :D BTW, I like the NT2 very much - very smooth, but is a bright mic, not appropriate if you like a darker sound. Bruce

No need to, MQQ - you're doing just fine without me!!! ;) Hmmm.......... yikes! :) But hey, next time I'm gear shopping, I'll borrow one from the dealer and do an A/B/C between the RNC, DBX, and (choke!) Behringer and post the results.... Bruce

Hmmm... as far as "Ibanez sucking" and the fact that Satriani and Vai both use them. You can bet that neither are using the $200 models... if you're paying $3000++ for a guitar, regardless of the manufacturer, the guitar just ISN'T going to "suck"........... Kinda silly to make a blanket...

Hmmm... I hadn't powered up my DA-40 in quite a few months, until I read this thread. The Masterlink kinda made it less necessary! Anyways - no problems at all with it - works great. There's no inherent reason for the unit not to work after a long squat, but if it was always plugged into an...

Well... there are no rules - as PD said........ BUT there are guidelines... and some darn good reasons behind following them. Snare/Kick/bass/Lead vocals are generally panned dead-centre (snare sometimes slightly off-centre). The remaining drums are panned in a stereo spread, and guitars/other...

In addition... ... the fact is, all things being equal (ie, great room, transparent gear, great mic), you will never hear back what your ear hears because a microphone doesn't pick up sound the way our ears do! You hear with more than just your ears - the brain interpolates sounds that it...

:D

Nice going Twist... ... just go ahead and give out ALL the answers! That's the trouble with these kids today.... they don't think for themselves anymore!!!!!!! :D :D :D Bruce

Hey Dan... First off - there are 2 "types" of parametric EQs. A "Full Parametric" (or simply "parametric") EQ found on the better consoles and on outboard units has 3 areas of control per each band (usually 3-4): sweepable frequency, "Q", boost/cut levels. The sweepable frequency pot allows...

The RNC is a $2000 compressor at a $200 price. (Seriously - not hype!) The problem with the 3630 (and many others at lower price points) are the audible artifacts that occur in operation. I haven't used the Joe Meek unit, but if it's like their other products, it imparts it own "sound" to a...

Hey Emeric... how's things in the 'burbs? Yup... you're right... but when I typed it that way originally I thought it looked even more complicated, so I wrote it "full-hand"! Bruce

Just a point... the MPX-100 is "down-there" compared to the MPX-1, but given a choice between a Behringer and a even a low-end Lexicon, I think the decision is an easy one! Bruce

Resistance in series: R = R1 + R2 + R3 Resistance in parallel: 1 / R = (1 / R1) + (1 / R2) + (1 / R3) Use these formulae to determine a speaker connection combination that yields the total load you require. Bruce Valeriani Blue Bear Sound

Big Yikes!!!!!!! Bruce

Wish I could help ya with some hands-on experience, but I don't use computers (and s/w) for recording. BUT - if it's got the Lexicon name on it, I would imagine it's ok... however, you really do need to ask someone more experienced with plug-ins than I am! Sorry... Bruce

That's all you need to do... ...Push the button! (It works SO well, you have to be extreme in your settings to tell it's even on!) Bruce
