Thanks for the info guys. As it turns out I just found a new place that is finished with drywall and in an industrial area. It is two offices connected to a large warehouse. It totals 1310sf and was only 100$ more. So, we got out of the first one and are moving into this. Thank god we hadn't...

Due to some unfortunate flooding, my friends and I are building a new studio. We found a pretty cool space. It is a 15x12' office attached to a 15x20' storage unit. We don't have to worry seriously about the noise because we will only be in there recording bands after normal business hours. That...

That guy is pretty hilarious. He doesn't help his cause by having a Jersey Shore voice. I will fully admit to being somewhat glamored by the big names behind the UAD stuff. I guess what got me was that it wasn't one guy, it was basically the whole lot of guys who had put out some of my favorite...

Okay, last post on this and I will be done. I apologize for rubbing folks on here the wrong way. I am honestly a pretty positive guy and I like to hear everyone's opinion whether I agree with it or not. Beck, has been good to "dolts":D on this board in helping to answer questions about decks...

Fair enough. I suppose anyone should use what they are comfortable with. There are lots of things that simply can't be done on an abacus.

Do you use a tuner pedal? Why not tune off of a tuning key or a pitch pipe? I'm sorry I don't agree with the "Jesus" of this board. I had no idea how many followers he had.

You're stretching a bit with this one, buddy.

Wow guy! Really? You're one of those message board elitists types. Good for you. You can "win" if that's what you need but this whole thing is laughable. Nice story about your "girlfriend from Niagara Falls who we wouldn't know". That's just hilarious. "Oh, I wouldn't dare divulge her name and...

The differences in the Pultec are obvious with or without the gain. Just by turning the plugin on you get a little bump of air. I've not used the fairchild. I am fully on board with the deception caused by pumping the volume in their demos but that is something every plugin company does. Let's...

C'mon man... If I told you that by clicking a button you could have the same thing that you have now and you'd never had to own a tape, demagnetize a head, replace a belt, replace a motor, find an out of stock part, etc... You would. Anyone would. Now, at some point I'd like to put up some a/b...

Oh, sorry, I think I missed your question in this. I use them to supplement other tracks. I usually record the drums and bass to tape and do everything else digital and then use the Studer and the Fatso to warm up guitar/key/vocal tracks before bussing it all to the Ampex. So, I don't use the...

See, I'm good with all that. I totally noticed the gain pumping in their Studer demo as well. The Ampex demo is better because they a/b a song with no increase in gain and you get a better idea. I like the Studer plugin but I like the Ampex one much more. I have the Fatso and the Fatso Sr. part...

You guys are way too funny and serious about this. All tools have some value. Yes, these do sound like tape more so than any other plugin I've used. Yes, I have recorded plenty to tape. Yes, I have owned lots of tape machines (4 currently) and used lots that I didn't own. Yes, I would rather get...

Hey thanks again everyone for the help. In the end it was mostly eq that fixed it. I also ran the track back into the Ampeg plugin to simulate a DI and that worked pretty well. I was able to take the same wav file and get a really tight string heavy sound and mix that in really low. It worked...

I think maybe I phrased that question wrong. I've recorded lots of bass. Usually with a 421 or an RE20 and a DI. I would say that is the "standard" as far as that goes. The tracks really aren't the problem as they both sound really good individually. In the mix they some how swell wildly in the...
