    Show me your parallel drum compression?

    Actually I want to hear it. I'm curious about how different people approach this, and in particular just how far people typically go. Maybe if people could post just some short clips with like the dry bus, then the compressed bus, then the mix of the two. But really, just the smashed clip...

    Unconventional, Unattractive, but Easy and Effective

    I've been mixing in this living room for a few years now. Even without treatment, it has always sounded pretty good. It's about 12 x 21 x 8.5, so almost big enough for decent near field monitoring, and it kind of opens to the rest of the house behind this and like half the walls are just...

    Show me your pedalboard!

    OK fine, I'll play. You folks could probably use a laugh anyway. This is what I've been dealing with for a while now All the way to the left on the bottom is a true-bypass loop with variable feedback. It also has filtered power distribution for up to about a Watt, but unfortunately these...

    Headphone band as blindfold - Listen!

    I've been doing more recordings of bands other than my own lately. Whole bands playing together with acoustic drums and amps and microphones and all that happy crap. While I like to stay pretty hands-off as far as production goes - shooting for more of a document of the live sound rather than...

    What about DIY pedals? Any "trusted" resources for kits?

    What we call audio signal is almost always measured in Voltage. Higher voltage (actually, wider swings) is what we call "higher level", or more volume. For the most part we never really need to worry about current, it just kind of falls where it must. Everything we do is to manipulate...

    MIDI newbie question-EZD2 and MX49 to write drums

    Plug a MIDI cable from the OUT of the keyboard to the IN on the interface. In Reaper, go to Options|Preferences|MIDI|Devices, find whatever your interface calls its MIDI connection in the list and make sure it is enabled. Insert EZD on a track. Enable the track for recording. Enable the...

    Infernal Diseased Dire Rat - JSFX plugin

    Long story short, a few years ago I built a DIY modded version of a Proco Rat, and now I've built a digital emulation of it. You can read all about it on the Reaper Forum, and download it from the Reaper Stash. LMK what you think.

    What I Think I Am

    Some of the songs are eighteen years old. Some of the tracking was done eight years ago. These are the songs that we've played at every "big show" for the last three years because when I'm up on the stage with all lights on me and I'm really freaking loud, it's about the only thing I really...

    How should I EQ my pseudo "NS10" amp?

    Did anybody read the OP? Maybe bsg... He wants the speakers he has to sound like NS10s. Assuming that they don't to begin with, how does leaving the EQ flat help? We can argue the wisdom of the request, I suppose. RM - Have you looked for frequency response curves for the two sets of...

    Free or super cheap video editing software?

    I didn't actually UTFSF, but I looked back four pages on this board and saw nothing. I'm looking for a video editing/compositing/mixing program that's maybe a step or two up from what I'm using. The best I've found so far for what I'm trying to do is NCH Prism. It does what Windows...

    -click the picture, it's a link, and only $13! Mine's called a Boombox, but is exactly as pictured. My gadget-happy mother gave it to me. I was like "WTF do I need this for?", and the it hit me!
