Alright fine then! No one wants to answer, eh? :mad: :p Yeah, I figured, you wouldn't. My post was too long for what i was asking and people's eyes are lazy when they see tons of text. Anyways, if there's anyone out there who appreciates posts like the one I am about to post and/or is bored...

Hey everyone, just looking for your opinions on a few things for an upcoming drum session happening this Saturday starring yours truly. A little background on the project...It has been years since my dad and I jammed - back when i lived at home we'd jam all the time since I was a little kid. Him...

Hey acoustics guys! This goes out to anyone with good knowledge and experience with acoustics. I myself have learned a lot over the past couple years about acoustics and am very well aware of how important bass trapping is for not only your Control Room, but the Room you Record in. I have taken...

I just left a full-width rack space for it in between two other pieces of rack gear. So it just rests below my rack-mounted interface and atop a dual pre i have. To make them not be resting metal on metal, I just put some little round felt pieces on the bottom of the pre 73 and slid it in (the...

Since there are so many options of either hardware or software emulations of eq's, I'm just wondering what all your favorite eq types are for each given application and why. Unless you're using all just one type for everything which is what I did, until i recently bought a pretty decent pack of...

I forgot about this thread! As a follow up, I ended up just getting another used BCF2000. To my delight, it's actually a hell of a lot smoother than the original I had. The original one's sliders are way noisier, especially when playing back slower automation moves. And when i turn it on, the...

This is ridiculous. Was working on a project a few minutes ago and everything was FINE. I just re-opened it and now it won't play from where I select. It only wants to play about 30 seconds earlier from no matter where I selected. If I fast forward to a part, once I let go of FFW, it'll jump to...

Hi there, Maybe because I'm not at my DAW right now and/or because I'm just not thinking of it simply enough, but how can I send only one side of a stereo buss out,one at a time. To elaborate... I have great multi-track mix going. To the common practice in order to make the mix a little...

I currently have the attached signal path, except for the blue splitter cable you see in the diagram as well as the XLR to XLR Patchbay. So currently the a few channel from my snake plug straight into the back of a few different external pre-amps I have. The problem is (and hence the reason I...

I use a spaced pair (and carefully make sure they're equidistant from snare, ensure they're in phase with snare, etc) because of my kit's layout and my preference. I don't place them too wide. If I use my snare and kick as a center line, I place each overhead on each side, right in the middle...

Hey there! Just wondering why I hear people talk about mono room mics on drums...Every single time I try to use a mono drum room mic track with the rest of the drums closed mic'ed and stereo overheads, when i blend in the room mic panned in the center, it smears the stereo image quite vastly...

I have some left over OC705 scraps (6 lb/cubic foot fiberglass insulation), from making some tri-corner traps a while ago, since I had to really knife them up to get them into a triangle shape and bevel the inside edge so it fits neatly in the upper corner of wall/ceiling...Some pieces are maybe...

Surprise, surprise, another question from RecordingMaster! My tagline under my name, for those who haven't caught on, is to suggest calling myself a Master is sarcastic! ;) I've always had a CAD drum mic kit and never had much of a reason to change it, other than to get an SM57 for the snare...

Here's the DI box I currently have, until I can invest in a superior one. It's a Yorkville YDI-1P Passive DI Box with a jack to receive signal from the guitar, a jack to send the signal to the guitar amplifier, and an XLR jack to send the signal to the board. I have two scenarios and I want...

Hi there, Eventually, I plan on getting some NS-10's or their active brother, the HS series. In the meantime, Here's what I am thinking of having for a "C" speaker set... I just ordered a Mackie Big Knob and I'm pretty pumped about it. Anyways, there is a way to connect RCA to this thing as...

Hi there, I was just wondering which magic button I need to push in order to get the lead vocal sound on the Beatles' "All You Need is Love"? :p But really, I know any specific sound that has been produced is not just easily emulated with some itb plugin. I am aware that a certain sound...

First, instrument-wise, I'd have to say the drum kit I had custom made for me. I sponsor Fat Cat Custom Drums. He's based out of Sarnia, Ontario, Canada and I had him make me a beautiful looking/sounding maple kit with Keller VSS shells, offset chrome tube lugs, natural maple wood hoops and a...

Just wondered how you're all mixing? Mixing in the box with a mouse? Mixing in the box with your hands on a midi control surface with total recall motorized faders? Mixing out of the box on a board? I know a lot of guys will wire up their big boards to be fully midi compatable with their DAW...

Hey guys n' gals, Was watching a video today of a band that my band will playing with next weekend, and noticed the video is compiled of different shots from the recording sessions for this song at a local studio here in my city. Anyhow, was just wondering what you thought about this spaced...

Hello to all, Just wanted to share a short and funny true story from a conversation my wife and I had last night... While I was sitting there mixing a project for a new local band yesterday after they had gone home for the day, my wife came in to have a chat, just 'cause. They were a younger...
