FOA, Sonic thanks again for the LXP-15 advice. Man, it is DEEP in tone, beautiful in sound. Been ab'ing against the Quadraverb. No comparison. Quad is not terrible imho, but nowhere near the Lexi in depth, and that is the best my ears can put it into words without the fancy, experienced-ear...

Ghost, if you are, and all of the other valuable inputers that helped me understand and talked me through my first 'final' mix on 'Wild-Eyed Jim's' last year, I have a question...put it up in The Rack, but wanting other opinions. My budget is $200 ish, looking for a better reverb quality/tone...

I use Alesis Midiverb IV currently, but need a second and preferrably better unit to replace as primary reverb. I don't like having a thousand adjustment parameters and don't use them, just the very basic mix, input and output for the effect. Are MPX 110s as bad of a quality as the reviews...

Looking at JM C2 and MC2. The manuals say the Fletcher corporation moved between producing these two models. Input gain knob is bigger on MC2. Was the mailing address just changed or were these produced in different factories? Anyone here a/b'd them or have opinions on sound from one to the...

A while back I was considering the VLA or the RNC. Since I bought the VLA, I use it to polish before going into the mastering deck and think it sounds absolutely wonderful, IMHO. It helps the sound come alive, as well as toning down some of those harsh peaks. I am not in the big league, mind...

help a brotha out Wild-Eyed Jim's version 1, which got re-mixed yesterday into version 2, and after comments and much tweaking, now we have version 3. Everyone here has been most helpful, but I need a little more. Version 3 should capture the essence of the first, but hopefully the drum...

Yeah I know, generic title...but true. I have two versions now of my first posted tune. The first had some panning problems. I took all of your advice and tried to incorporate the best I could. If you could compare just 30 seconds or so of each and give me advice, I would really appreciate...

I already received a few comments from the guys at tascamforums, and am looking to get a few more. I believe I may have screwed up the stereo image a bit by using the "stereo" effect on my Ultrafex, but it can be easily fixed. Any tips on levels, recording techniques in need of improvement...

I have a DM Pro kit I use for tracking drums to my 8-track analog. I set the speed very sensitive to get the best acoustic imitation I can and getting a basic rock acoustic sound is the goal (I know, nothing will beat the real thing), but this obviously increases the signal's dynamic range. I...

I have a DM Pro kit I use for tracking drums to my 8-track analog. I set the speed very sensitive to get the best acoustic imitation I can, but this obviously increases the signal's dynamic range. I run my outs on the DM Pro to a Joe Meek MQ3 for a little compression (but namely for the color...

I have a Joe Meek MQ3 preamp/compressor/EQ that I use as a front end to a JM47 for most of my tracking. Thus far I like the sound. Question is, am I sending my signal through two preamps by doing this? Seems like I would be, and I will feel quite humiliated if that is what I have been doing...

I've been in analog for a few years now and am considering taking the digital step. Have a PC. I hate the thought of having to click and drag one fader at a time during final mix. I want to be able to have physical control from outboard faders but use my computer hard drive to record the...

This has been coming up on HC lately. I would use this to soften the overall highs where the signal is peaking my CDRW700 from tape. I will be using it on the entire mix but only to (hopefully) softly even out the signal. I don't consider coloration necessarily a bad thing, so that is not an...
