    Desktop vs Rack Gear

    So there is hope? Anyone think the lunchbox style are worth it over emulations? I know it's extremely marginal stuff, but I'm an egghead so...

    Desktop vs Rack Gear

    oh man that is a bummer. i guess there is no way around it. i either go rack or mix in the box. the rack quality gains seem marginal but they are there, so we'll see. if i had a bigger home this would be a no brainer. grrr.

    Desktop vs Rack Gear

    This looks like a potential compromise. The dimensions appear small enough to fit on my desktop. Any opinions? https://rupertneve.com/products/r6

    Mix Help

    Thanks. Is there a way to keep high reverb yet remove the wooliness of it? That must be what I'm hearing. But, our band likes a ton of reverb just an a stylistic effect so we'd like to keep it. Would sending the vocal reverb to a bus that has an EQ curve cutting the highs and lows/low mids be...

    Desktop vs Rack Gear

    Where did you buy that shallow rack? Awesome. Is that Prism Atlas the competitor to this unit? Are both complete audio interfaces ready to use right out of the box? Great leads thanks. Edit: Both look too big at around 17" and 19" of width. If I'm putting these on the desk, I need like 12" of...

    SM4 from Shure anyone excited?

    Not really. I highly suggest reading the book "Poorly Made in China"...it would probably quell any excitement about anything coming out of there.

    Desktop vs Rack Gear

    I finally bought a home 5 years ago, and I'm thinking of upgrading my desktop units (from when I was in an apartment) to a rack. But, my music room is still pretty small. I can fit something with like 12" depth before it would pop into the room too much. Do you think that's deep enough to...

    Getting Multiple Tracks to be the Same Volume

    Does anyone use CD anymore? If not, can we go back to quieter, better sounding mixes if we just want to upload to streaming sites? I know those sites do something to audio, but in general, it sounds pretty decent to my ear if i upload a wav file.

    Gibson is not a good company.

    Do they still make good guitars? I feel like they haven't for like 30 years, but I'm not sure. I'm more of a full scale Fender guy.

    AEA R44C

    Per AEA. So it does sound like it changed a bit. We are continuously making improvements over time. The basic overall sound though has not been changed. Same transformer, same design. Things that have changed: Logo badge Gold plating to some parts internally Plating is now nickel instead of...

    AEA R44C

    Is there any difference between the new ones and the ones made 20 years ago? I found a used one for $2400 from 2005 that's in EX condition. Any differences? Thanks.

    Getting Multiple Tracks to be the Same Volume

    Do you guys think wavelab pro is a good buy to do this type of work? How are the built in mastering plugins? I qualify for the student pricing at $250 fwiw.

    Getting Multiple Tracks to be the Same Volume

    Do they add some type of normalization if you don’t mix to a specific volume, and if so, will that change the sound of the mix? What mastering limiter plugins do you think are great? Thanks!

    Getting Multiple Tracks to be the Same Volume

    Is it me or does music sound better with a quieter mix and turning up the volume on your interface/amp? Even when I crank the master fader it doesn't sound as good as just leaving it quiet and turning up the volume.

    Getting Multiple Tracks to be the Same Volume

    I mean completed songs and distinctly different recordings, not tracks within the song. This is all good info. Thanks. If mastering in a daw, is there a meter reading I should shoot for on each track? I am using RMS and aiming for -16 to -12, but that's just based on something I saw on YT. I...

    Getting Multiple Tracks to be the Same Volume

    Thanks. In the mastering phase where that's corrected, is it via adding gain or volume? Isn't gain bad to add because it distorts the mix? Is it better to just push up the master volume fader?

    Getting Multiple Tracks to be the Same Volume

    How do you do this if recording an album at home? It seems like every track I have is at a different volume. I guess this is what mastering does, so do I need mastering software to do this correctly?
