Yo, gc, how's that Rural Exciter treating you? Tipping cows has never been so much fun, eh?

Peaks and valleys make for a good ride I tracked some nasty-ass guitar feedback for one of my band's noise pieces. I pulled it up on the spectral analyzer after mixdown just cause I was still learning how to use WaveLab. When that feedback guitar kicked in, peaks rose out of that graph like...

Aw nuts Wish I'd seen this post yesterday. My Altec 1567a's up on eBay at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7399621620 .

Sorry, I need a quick buck so I put it on eBay. Would greatly prefer a member of this community, though. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7399621620

Hey, not trying to hi-jack the thread, this is along the same lines... Do most people EQ when bouncing? If so, is it just a little high-shelving or maybe some presence boost, too?

Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows All the sound fx are little clippings of tape joined to make a loop. It would pretty much be half a song without those fx.

Wow, and yet no one's said anything about this one: http://www.audiomasterclass.com/index.cfm "Study at home from anywhere in the world and achieve an accredited and recognized Sound Engineering qualification." Except for the word "accredited," I think that's what I'm doing. And who hear...

We had this same problem... ...with a slightly better shaped room, but it was a concrete basement, and it was alive as shit. We found that as soon as all everything was facing the same way (except the PA), it rocked much harder. Set up like you're on stage playing to the other half of the...

I wouldn't want to be mixing through a Crate and trying to figure out what's going on with my tracks. I'd get some nearfields.

I bet Franz Ferdinand (so-called "Saviors of Rock") left you the negative feedback. I'm with a lot of you guys. I'm 21 and I'll blast Motown before I have some modern rock on as background music. Part of it is definitely the slew-of-bands mentality that the record companies use and another...

This is exactly what my band does and we have no real bleed issues. We've got a main room in the guitarist's mountain house (you know houses in the Poconos start at like 75K?) We're all in the main room with the drums set up in the corner. Around a corner, there's a bathroom. We stick the...

I've got an M-208, I think it's the shit. Course, I'm still using 8-track reel-to-reel. The only problem I've had with the 208 is that the busses don't have enough headroom to hit the tape hard enough with really dynamic material. We had a stereo mix of drums going to tape and whenever the...

Once in a life time When I first read about what sidechaining is, there was an example of letting the kick determine how much compression to apply to the bass guitar, the result being (after hours of tweaking attack/release times, I guess) the kick attack getting through right before the note...

I voted for AC/DC but if Tom Verlaine in Television was an option I would've had some thinking to do. Then again the drum sound sucks on most Television stuff so that makes the guitar sound good just in comparison.

Synth-bass high pass I use a Nord MicroModular for bass sounds (rock and roll music with FM and subtractive basses). I then use the MicroModular as an insert signal processor on the bass track and most of the time I find myself (gently, 6 or 12 db/oct) rolling off everything below 80 or 85 Hz...
