Just a quick one, I will reply as soon as I can but could you please be kind to share exactly how you do your sample delay in logic to phase align your drum tracks to the OH's? Currently I am moving the tracks by sight but I would like to move onto using the sample delay plugin for easy A/B comparisons. I noticed in protools warren will just highlight 0point from 0point between 2 waveforms but up top it tells you how many frames/or milliseconds (i forget) how far out they are then just puts a plugin on the early track to delay. But In logic I am unsure how to do this?
Also, I was wondering if you could tell me what compressor side chain detection algorithm you normally use. I personally almost "always" set mine to Peak, and not RMS when using platinum compressor, when using the famous compressor styled compressor models (studio fet, opto etc.) I leave it as is and trust it is similar to the real hardware units. I felt like I have infinitely more control setting to peak, and I think once I tried out RMS and heard a weird pumping side effect once. Oh... the amount of times I have forgotten to switch over to peak detection tho! Or auto gain arrg... Blows your ears out if not careful.
I also use highpass sidechain within compressor on sources with lots of low end content so my low end does not get sucked out, otherwise you always have to keep compensating with EQ after compression. Very overlooked feature of a compressor I think!!!
Will soon be setting up with new mic combo you told me about. Test ribbon out some more see if recording at low gain levels becomes a problem (i suspect not) I just feel weird recording at such a low level. Will try art tube MP out anyways just because I don't use it for much else other than Bass and am trying to look for reasons to use it more.
Don't feel obliged to get back to me right away, I am sure I am taking up your valuable time a bit and don't want to become a nuisance.
Cheers man
