I read in that Bob Katz TC manual that 3 clipped samples of percussion are usually inaudible. Look at the picture attached. Could it be that after limiting of the mix and done, some Mastering Engineers purposely raise the gain of the mix, say, 2db which would clip the wave? They're squeezing...

What do you guys think about having a mastering contest? Please, not the same song in the mix contest thread. I'm gonna go crazy if I hear that song one more time! :)

are the 58 and 57 the same, just with different windscreens?

Enlighten me.

Okay, this may be a difficult question to answer, i'm not sure. Here's my question: I've read several places (other recording forums, the rnp website) that people will activate a pad for the sole purpose that they can "drive the mic preamp hotter". What is the point, disadvantages, and...

I know this is debatable. Most people will claim burning at 1x will give you the least errors. Here's what a local mastering engineer in my area has to say about this: ______________ Since I burn CD-R's all day long for a living, and have to teach about them too, I'm fairly up to date with...

http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/23/ultimate_fakebook.html The vocals on all 3 songs use the same mic. Can you guess it? Hint: it's not a Neumann, much cheaper.

My new drums! I built them.

I hear on these boards that 5.1 is the shit and 5.1 is the next big thing and some people are even mixing in 5.1 here. So my question is, why are some people hesitant to make their stereo mix huge and wide...in other words, "if it sounds good in mono, it will sound good stereo" kind of...

does anyone have any mp3 samples of the RNP?

So I got an Audix D6 today. I have had many live and recording with the competition--the AKG D112 and the Shure Beta 52 and I must say the Audix D6 blows them away. You guys gotta see the frequency curve on this bad boy. There's about a 10 db cut in the lower mid range. I applied almost no...

Build a neve 1272 copy with a kit: http://www.seventhcirclestudios.com/SCA/SCA.htm Any thoughts as to how hard this would be?

does anyone have experience with the sytek 4 channel preamp?

does anyone have experience with this unit? My main concern is this: Will it be better than the preamps on a Mackie?

I record in protools. When I bounce to disk (mix down to wav file) it gives me the one of two options: convert during bounce and convert after bounce. Is this dithering? I have a waves L2 limiter on the master fader. Should I not dither there since the bouncing may be dithering? Or should I...

I know why it does this. But how can I master and not have the guitars get so loud in the mix. In other words, how can I master and not change the mix. I'm using the waves mastering bundle with the renaissance compressor.

I recorded this rough pre-production demo for my band and I need some feedback about the recording or anything else you wanna cut me up on (just realize that EVERYTHING was first take!) http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=1743&alid=-1 I also wanna add that this was my first time...

I have a question for people that know about wavelab. when compressing the mix, is it best to compress left and right channel separately or compress them at the same time?

I'm really worried lately. My knee has just started hurting reallly bad, but only when I play drums. It's the knee on my kick leg that hurts. I play single pedal dw 5000 dual chain accelerator. I have my throne set so that my lower leg bone and my upper leg bones are at perfect right...
