    Help me choose a computer

    You could get an excellent Desktop for under $400 at Amazon - 32 gb ram and 2 tb harddrive. Dell Optiplex 5060 Desktop Computer - although the silent mode is hard to get in your budget.

    The gsp2101

    I know but you said 'From the UMC1820 I connect 2 in/outputs to the send/return of the 2101.’ - it sounded like you were sending a stereo signal into a mono input. What’s the I/O app? Is this a product of your X32 Control Surface in Logic? I don’t mean to be so dumb - but this doesn’t make...

    First drum recording

    Pretty Good Stuff - aside from the snare mic it’s a variation on the Glyn Johns setup. Could you get anymore gain on the mics?

    mk-219 mod

    Return them - at least I would - I have zero tolerance for clutter of any kind.

    The gsp2101

    The GSP2101 has a mono FX out - are you using a splitter cable or something? The Cab simulator on the GSP2101 doesn’t sound good? I’m not following - the noise gate should effect both the dry and effects signal. Do you run the additional preamp through the same Torpedo - obviously then you...

    Unusual recording sessions

    I've recorded (a while back) some Indian instruments - the weirdest one was the Sarangi -The Sarangi is two feet long,- made of a single piece of red cedar wood, and has three resonance chambers with three or four main gut strings and between 11 and 37 sympathetic metal strings - it has a voice...

    Budget Stereo Compressor recommendation ?

    I had a 166 , 166a and 166xl - IRRC when using a high amount of compression- the 166 sounded full and more trans`parent - the XL sounded duller and kind of choked - the 166A was similar to the 166 - all dBX units sounded duller the more you compressed BTW - these days the 166 are often...

    Using two compressors, yes or no

    The vocal is very crispy and hot - which is a sound - were you trying for that? Were the vocals on the same vocal chain? the mix is quite different.[/MEDIA][/LIST]

    Using two compressors, yes or no

    You are running a Mic PreAmp into a Compressor into a 2i2 Mic Preamp? Would you post a clip of this signal chain in action?

    Mixers and Home Recording

    My crowd talks about the Plates and Chambers - the Studio Acoustics - the Mics - Compressors - in context - they captured the sound - but it was the engineers who shined with techniques - there wasn’t a lot of dodads to get noises - they had to be very creative - and simple things made a...

    Using two compressors, yes or no

    I use two Logic compressor - The Studio Fet @ 1.4/1 and the Vintage Opto also @ 1.4/1 - The Studio Fet is an emulation of a Urei 1176LN Blackface while the Vintage Opto is based on the Teletronix LA-2A - they are really neat and musical in combination - and barely touching the signal - but it...

    Be careful with resource-heavy plugins while tracking

    All the time - I did it on the my latest Dear John release - I had a ton of things going on - now on my older Intel MacBook Pro - I had to freeze tracks and use Low Latency mode all the time - not on my Silicon MacBook Pro.
