    Gobos with 6" thick of acoustic foam...deaden highs too much?

    Thanks again! And we shall see mixsit! The more research I did, the more I realized that it just is what it is. Gobos for isolating and drying out a certyain source are going to be absorptive and there's no way around it. The thicker, the better so these should be ok! :D Here they are...

    Gobos with 6" thick of acoustic foam...deaden highs too much?

    Thanks for the input, fellas. I ended up just making them the way I described, mostly out of impulse to get them done! Here is a picture of one completed. I was thinking of putting some wheels but then that would make them higher off the ground and more of an open gap across bottom edge. Great...

    Gobos with 6" thick of acoustic foam...deaden highs too much?

    Hey all! I have some old acoustic foam sheets that are 3" thick and each 2'x4'. They are useless as I now have all broadband and bass traps using OC703. They are the old school king with the pill shapes on it. It looks like this but is yellowed...

    Sound Morphing Plugins?

    Hi there, Just wondering if anyone uses or has any suggestions for "sound morphing" plugins. What I mean by that, is a plugin/effect that can be applied to a waveform as an insert (no, not a midi/instrument track) and morph the life out of it until it is completely unrecognizable. An example of...

    Stereo Widener on Reverb Bus

    Hey there. I tried something new recently and just thought I'd share it in case you haven't tried it yet yourself. Here's what I did, and the "why" explanation, which comes first. I'm only posting this as I could not find any other talk on this online. I recently tracked a couple cover tunes in...

    8-Channel Mic Pre w/o AD conversion (but has direct outs)

    Can anyone suggest an 8-Channel Mic Pre w/o AD conversion, but has direct outs? Oh and to top it all off, for under $1000! I already have an echo audiofire12 to handle all my AD conversion going into PT via Firewire. So I am just looking for an upgrade to using a Mackie mixerboard w/ direct...

    "Trenchfoot Shuffle" featuring Bill Murray

    Sorry, I accidentally converted this to the lower res mp3, not 320. My mistake, but at work and can't change it right now. Here's a newish mix I completed a couple months ago. Still unmastered so it's quiet, mind you. Bill Murray is featured on this track. Written by my bassist. His vox are on...

    What speed do YOU burn your Audio CD's at, and with what software?

    Hi there, My band is has self-produced our entire upcoming ep. All recorded, mixed, and yes, sigh, "mastered" in my home studio by yours truly. While we DO have our 44.1 kb/s 16 bit wav audio files and high res art work sent off for printing and duplication professionally, we'd like to make some...

    PT "Mastering" session: tracks varying between 48k and 96k...

    Hi there, I am "mastering" 5 tracks for my band's next demo...hence the reason why we don't have the budget for actual mastering on this project. It's just an EP and everything is done on our own for this one -right down to the graphic design and cd pressing, etc. The 3 earlier-recorded tracks...

    How long are YOUR patch cables behind your rack(s)?

    Hi there, I currently have a standalone rack setup. It's like a side car that sits next to my desk. I have 8 different items in it at the moment and room for a couple more. Thing is, the units on the bottom (and frankly even halfway down) and hard to see from my chair. So when tracking and...

    Presonus Firestudio Mobile as Aggregate Device in PT9?

    Hi there, I am currently using a Tascam US-1800 as my main interface/converter. I want better AD conversion and more line level inputs so I can use more analog outboard preamps so I am getting the Presonus Firestudio Mobile as it's specs and reviews seem quite favorable for improved AD and...

    Recording vocals in car?

    Well if this guy did it, I'm sure it'll sound stellar! I assume this guyin the pic is big shit and better than Jay Z, so chances are the OP will also be better than Jay Z. Ask a "producah" and they will tell you.

    How to judge A/D conversion quality. What specs?

    Hi there, I currently have a Tascam US-1800 USB 2.0 interface. It has 4 line level jacks on the back (w/ no preamps), 8 XLR inputs with digital pres and 2 Di inputs. I usually use my outboard pre's to feed to the line level jacks, and then use the left over xlr's for the rest of my mics when...

    Mackie CR 1604 Mixer Preamps good for recording?

    Hi there, I saw a Mackie CR 1604 mixer for sale online for $150. In hopes that I could get it for $100-$125, and that it is in good working condition, I was wondering if it would serve me well to use the pres on this instead of my stock digital pres (which I'm not a fan of) on my Tascam US-1800...

    Sidechain Gate in Reverse!

    Hi there, Here's what I am trying to do... I did a recent hard rockin' session and, although the snare I tracked sounded great in the top/bottom mics, oh's and room mics, it still didn't cut the mustard. So I'm using a few layers of Slate Trigger samples that I meticulously put together to...

    Alesis LX-20 Adat WhiteFace for my A/D conversion?

    Hi there, you can see my setup outlined in my signature, but just for the record, I use a Tascam US-1800 as my audio interface. I mostly use outboard preamps and feed them to my Tascam's line level inputs (which do not have built preamps). Thing is, there are only 4 of those inputs, so if I am...

    towels on toms?

    Well this dude used 'em. You can really hear it on some stuff (doesn't sound like just dead drums with tape). These pics look like they were from some of the later shots of the Beatles when they were nearing breakup (68-70?), seeing as his kit got bigger around that time with an added crash and...
