    another PT freezing problem...

    So things are still weird. I did a full reinstall and it seems to have gotten better on some sessions, but still just as bad on others. I even made a new session for one of the songs in case something was funky about the session--no go. Fresh reinstall, fresh session, maybe 12 tracks, no plugins...

    Alt rock song-lend thy ears please

    A tune from my brother's band Beeftone. We're getting close to a full CD release and I'd like to get some input on what could be improved. So aside from the amateur high school musicianship;), rip away on the criticism... lo: http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=7537567&q=lo hi...

    another PT freezing problem...

    So my finger is pointing towards the stock D verb plugin...Things are ok without it, I put 1 reverb on an aux channel, and it locks up a few minutes into playback (regardless of the # of other plugins). I'll sometimes be able to very slowly remove the D Verb as it gets weird, and it'll go back...

    another PT freezing problem...

    sometimes it gives me the "remove some RTAS plugs" message, but most of the times it locks up the whole system so bad it can't even pop up an error message. I'll take out a bunch of plugs, to where I'm only running like 5 or 6 EQs, but it still has a weird sudden-death...

    another PT freezing problem...

    I'm about to put a hatchet through the (*&^* thing. So I'm running an 002R LE 6.7 thru a Dell laptop. Decent amount of plugins. I always watch the little CPU meter and stop with the plugs at about the halfway point. Things cruise fine for a while, it doesn't feel like it's bogging down at all...

    Victim of the loudness war?

    Yeah, this whole war is really pissing me off. Just got some new CDs that I'm really into as of late, and tried listening to them through headphones the other night. I didn't make it through half of one of them. Back when I was a pink floyd nut, I'd spend night after night 'exploring' dark side...

    Preferred brand of cables?

    I'm building a collection of mogamis, but only because my friend works at geetar center and gets 'em at cost:D. The build quality on the ends are incredible and they've got the whole lifetime warranty thing. I'm still probably pissing my money away though. Awesome link BTW;)

    Am I crazy? Leaving "the box"

    I mean upgrade my 002, plus add an extra 8 channels via ADAT (for instance an ai3, or something a little better).

    Am I crazy? Leaving "the box"

    Wow, thanks for all the great replies! I figured one of the biggest setbacks would be AD conversion. In that regard I've been kicking around the idea of sending in my 002r to Black Lion Audio...seems like everyone is happy with it. Would that plus a better adat eliminate the conversion...

    Am I crazy? Leaving "the box"

    So I've been farting around with Pro Tools and my digi 002r for 3 or 4 years now and I'm done with mixing with a mouse. I feel like I'm trying to paint a beautiful piece of art in MS Paint. It's becoming quite the buzz kill. I need knobs and sliders! I've always been an old-school freak and I'm...

    Beatles cover.

    That sounds pretty badass. Some pretty crazy compression on stuff, but it totally makes the whole ratty saturated vintage vibe. The guitar that comes in on the right is pretty sweet. Funny how the unwanted degradation and limits of analog is so cool sounding sometimes.

    What do you guys think?

    Intro is a little long, they have shortened it since we recorded that. I will definitely balance out the panning and settle the vocals down. I really love hard pans for some reason but I think I went overboard. I think there's something wrong with my right monitor. It seems to be quieter than...

    What do you guys think?

    So this is my first post in the mp3 forum. I've been stumbling through recording for 3 or 4 years now and I feel like my stuff is finally to the point where I could use some personal feedback on what I could improve. So this is my brother's band that I recorded a few months ago...

    Sm57 Poll

    I like the 57 on snare, but really can't get a good sound with it on an amp. The lack of really high frequencies makes it sound really boxy and muddy to me. I guess it adds nice meat if you have a condenser on the source as well. I was at a piano concert and was wondering why the PA sounded...

    Audix live vocal mics

    I've got an OM3 and an OM5 and I love them with all of my heart. The OM6 looks like a nice mic. Haven't used the OM6, but I definitely prefer the OM5 to the beta 58/57. The Audixes tend to be a lot more crisp sounding in comparison to shures. the betas are better than the regular 58's, but they...

    Funky problem I've been experiencing lately...

    Erm:o.... pardon me for sounding like a moron, but how would one do that? I guess I'm not that savvy with computers... this might be related, but last time I booted it up it ran through a bunch of DOS code stuff and I recall seeing something about CHKDSK (??)....

    Funky problem I've been experiencing lately...

    Pro tools LE 6.7 or something, Dell inspiron laptop... With the past few sessions I've done, I've had this problem. I close down the session after tracking, open it up the next day, and it informs me that half the audio files are missing. When I create the session I usually create a source...

    all that white space at the end...

    erm...well if you're bouncing an extra 40 secs it sounds like you haven't selected the region you want to bounce...i'm not looking at the screen right now, but you basically click and drag up in the gray bar with the blue 'play' arrow. you can 'highlight' a section to play and that'll be what...

    MacBook Pro 2.2Ghz: topping out at or before 32 tracks :(

    I've got an 002r into a dell laptop and protools likes to slap me around a bit now and then...originally i was recording straight onto an external 500 GB hard drive, but after about 5 or 6 months it decided it didn't like the external HD anymore. I kept getting the "turn buffer up" "turn buffer...
