    Is there a "circular" preset on a rack unit?

    I have a song, and in one section the words say "round and round inside the tunnel, one comes quick as I descend". Yeah, cheesey as it may sound, I was looking for a preset to give a 'circular' effect to at least the vocals, maybe more tracks, at this point. Haven't started tracking it yet...

    #3 or #6 density fiberglass from SPI?

    SPI on their "order" form has 'fiberglass board' listed by a choice of 4 manufacturers, in #3 or #6 density. I wish they just listed 705 rigid fiberglass, but I didn't see that option. Anyway, I'm assuming #6 would be more dense, so I asked for a quote on that. It is $173 for 210 sf of 2" and...

    I owe a few of you some pics, don't I?

    Well, the batteries are charging as I type. I may get flamed and that's alright, but you've got to try different approaches if you want to learn. I have taken a Cliff notes version of what I have read and learned and applied these theories in a way that fit my schedule, budget, and belief...

    All this talk about reverb...what about flange?

    What would you say are some good rack units that produce quality flange, phase, other pyschedelic effects? Past or present. I kind of like the old school vibe in equipment, so I guess I should direct it toward the "classics". Which one or ones would in your experience best produce these effects?

    Going door shopping...solid core wood, right?

    Solid core wood is what I've read. Would metal doors work with treatment, or they still resonate? It seems because of the density of metal they would be good for transmission loss, anyone know? Anyway, wood is what I'm after up to this point, I just like the security of metal so I'm asking...

    Hmm...Owens-Corning Sono-batts, Acousti-batts Any thoughts?

    While checking out the R values for 703, I came across some other products in the 700 series product line. Sono-batts and Acousti-batts. Any experience with these or are they rigid fiberglass basically with a higher price tag because of the specific application name?

    Does anyone know about the "sound dampening" panels at Home Depot?

    Shopping for roofing materials last weekend, browsing insulation just in hopes they may have some 703, and saw these 4x8 sheets of "sound dampening"(or something to that effect) sheets. I'm still trying to get more transmission loss ideas for my roof. If this absorbs the sound, I'm wondering...

    Anyone used both PCM70 and PCM91?

    I'm curious about the sonic differences from someone who's heard or worked with them both. I've read that the 70 is more dense, I've read that the 91 instills a subtle magic to everything it is used on and nothing in the Lexi family except the 300, 960, etc. can touch it. Obviously a lot of...

    Exterior leaf on its way...ideas for interior leaf?

    I'll post a recent photo in a bit. Several of you have been helping me on this and it is much appreciated. I have an exterior CBS leaf, 4" detached (not coupled to the exterior leaf) concrete floor slab (rough finish) with an average of 6-12" of space between the slab edges and the CBS walls...

    PCM 90 or 91...do I need it at this point?

    Just been doing a little research on the PCM series. I'm in the process of building what would best be described as a "recording room"...I'm basically, with good advice on the Studio forum, building a small control room that I plan to track in as well. My personal stuff, my personal use. So I...

    Old School Joemeek...VC1Q and VC1Qcs preamps

    So on ebay this post says how the VC1Q is better than the VC1 (don't know if that included the Brick or the later incarnation rack mount version) and better than the VC1Qcs, pointing out the latter had inferior preamp components. I know they dropped the transformer with the cs version, but is...

    What to use for my room surfaces

    First off, I need to contain the sound from leaking out to the neighbors' houses as best I can. So right now, I plan on putting in a concrete sub-base poured in place slab, with wood floor joists and wood flooring on top for the floor. Walls, well the structure is made out of concrete block...

    Need your guys' honest advice...

    Well, of course these subjective things always answer a question with 'well, what do you want your sound to be', and 'how important is analog sound to you', etc. I'm now using an HD24 for my tracking machine, going through a joemeek VC1Qcs on most stuff but not all to start, then input into a...

    Bought my 3rd piece of joemeek gear tonight

    I bought an MC-2. Won't have it for a week or so (ebay), but did some research on them and seems to be a good buy. Yeah, C-2s were first, but I dig my other joemeek stuff and needed to have this. Why? I have a DM PRO kit, broken down to output 6 channels into the board from the rear of the...

    ZZ TOP....One Foot In The Blues album

    Yeah I know it is a cheap comglomeration of their classics, but that's what I have to listen to (my friend's older brother back circa 1980 or so had a killer Panasonic all -in-one system with the 12" three-way speakers, and we used to listen to the classic ZZ Top releases on 8-track). Man they...

    buying extra IDE drives for HD24...help

    Help me understand please. IDE...is this the pin format for connecting? I know I need IDE drives and they need to run at least 5400 rpm, which I will end up buying 7200 rpm, but on newegg.com I find Seagate IDE drives that have all kinds of other lettering in with the IDE like ATA100 etc. Any...

    The little things sometimes we catch

    I think it was Sunday morning.... anyway, watching the news and they are playing a recording of commentary given by George W. with a still picture of him in the background, with subtitles, AND big ol honkin' reels spinning in the background. Anyhow, thought you all may enjoy that :) :) :)

    No particular topic, just want to say hi

    Haven't posted here in a month or two. No, it is not because of the HD24. Haven't posted period....bought a swingset for the kids and still working on digging out 6" down so I can put in wood chips around it. A lot of work. This is pretty much the only forum I still read though, this and the...
