Right, but the output from the DAW into the Virtual track won't be balanced the way it was during tracking, because those faders were set in UAD Console, but were tracked to your DAW pre-fader, so they're full volume at playback. I assume the way this works with tape is that you have the same...

Hey all, I've recently started using a UA Apollo interface with the Console software at a friend's studio and it's brought up some questions about tracking/playback that I realized I had about recording to tape that I never answered. I was hoping someone could help me work this out. If you're...

JBL LSR305 5" Active Studio Monitor | Sweetwater.com Can anyone recommend these JBL monitors, they are currently buy one get one half off? Would they be a step up or about the same as my M-Audios? Also, I'm hesitant to get the 8" because my room is already a bit bass-y so I'm worried 8" will...

Hey all. One of my trusty M-Audio BX5a's has started to crap out on me. I replaced them for the time being with a pair of BX5s, but I thought maybe I should upgrade. Is there anything that's a reasonable step up that I might be able to acquire for under 800/pair? Or should I stick with the BX5s...

I was watching this video a friend posted of a band I had never heard of and then all the sudden it hit me. The best kick sound I've ever heard! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-LurPNxdZE Around 1:23, there's a solo kick that just rattles my brain in the best way possible. It's so deep. It's...

Thanks guys, I might just create a new thread about my room for help treatment. The reason I asked this question here and didn't start with a thread originally, is because people tend to go very overboard on room treatment threads (this is a home recording forum, right?). I have a pretty bad...

Ah yes, I realized what he was saying, putting corner mount panels in the intersection of the walls and ceiling. Not sure if I want to go this far or how much of it I would cover, that seems like a ton of work, and a lot of space to cover. Also, it's not like adding panels at the wall/ceiling...

Could you elaborate a little more about the corner coverage on wall/ceiling saving space? I bow to your treatment knowledge GIK!

Thanks for this comment, about to build some corner mounted bass traps, so I might use this design! Thanks a ton rock for the pics!

I was planning on building them. Not sure what a super chunk is, but I love that band! My space is already pretty skewed because I had to put my desk against the long wall, and i'm sure there's way more work to be done than bass traps, but I wanted to cover the corners that I'm near and are...

I am about to put bass traps in the two corners of my room that don't either have a door or window in them. One of them has a couch in the corner, so I will only be able to fit one trap on the wall, but my question is for the other corner, should I stack two traps or will one be enough? If only...

This is pretty good man. I always kind of put my music in a similar category, although it sounds quite a bit different. Our Alarm Clock

Funny, it sounds perfect to me. I use a Beta52 and I always feel like it's too boomy and I never have enough click/thud. I also don't have a sound port on my kick so that's probably a big part of the issue.

Awesome man, great set up. Jealous of your pedal board, as I'm building one up for ambient/drone as well. Where are you located?

Thanks mate. I agree with both of those issues, but were kind of inevitable due to the quick recording, skills I was lacking at the time, and shoddy playing by the drummer. I was considering fixing some of the drum timing, but didn't make it a priority. I might go back and fix those. I agree...

Haha for sure. One day I will get out of the box for real! Been eyeing that new Midas console, I think I'll be saving up for that in the next year.

Well said. This particular use was a recording from a few years back, when I still had a lot to learn (or at least more than I do now!) and the recording wasn't incredible, and the performance wasn't exceptional due to the lack of time (track, mix, and duplicate in 4 days!). So a lot of what I...

I'm simultaneously happy to have them here, and angry that I don't (and won't be able to afford to) own them. The Neumann sounds amazing, obviously. I use it through the ISA on a cello track Tuesday and it was so smooth. I initially set up the C414 thinking it would be better for the instrument...

I recorded this track by an artist named Kelly Ruth a few years back as a wedding present for another friend of ours. The whole thing was done in 4 days: recording, mixing, and duplicating a 4-track EP to give away at the wedding as a party favour. I never really felt these songs got the...

Thought I would post a pic of the new (borrowed) additions! These three pieces of gear are worth more than everything else I've accumulated so far combined!
