Anyone know of a transparent, high-slope, variable, 2-channel high-pass filter.... especially for infra/subsonic filtering? Bruce

I guess it was only a matter of time, but I just saw the mother of all inane covers and videos.... I thought the Alan Jackson butchering David Lindley's "Mercury Blues" was bad enough, but NOW.... some banjo-playing, country & western-style country band actually did a cover of Pink Floyd's...

I'm about 3/4 of the way through Phillip Newell's "Professional Approach to Project Studios", and I gotta tell ya - you read this one and it will up your audio standards a notch or two (while at the same time cringe if you ever reach for another piece of Hosa cable!) It demonstrates excellent...

For those of you who book clients into your studios, where do you draw the line in terms of client production. Plenty of times, I will do overtime (especially mixing/post-production) on the cuff simply because I'm being anal about some aspect of the sound. I don't charge it back to the client...

What is it with this DIY mastering thing that everybody seems to want to do???????????????? They all say "I know it doesn't compare to real mastering houses, but how do I do it anyway???" If you already know you can't that polished, mastered sound, what is it that is missing out of your mixes...

Any downside to using digital patchbays to simplify my increasingly complex routing of digital I/O across my digital gear --- ADATs, Masterlink, DAT, MAudio SAM, CO3 converter (between DAT/Masterlink for compatibility) I was specifically looking at the M-Audio DigiPatch 12x6...... I was...

I'm looking for outboard meters, but have not heard of any manufacturers.... Anyone? Bruce

Thought compiling a list of these would be useful, especially for the novices.... IMO - in my opinion... IMHO - in my humble opinion... WTF - what the fuck??? BTW - by the way... YMMV - your mileage may vary ROFL - rolling on floor laughing ROFLMAO - rolling on floor laughing my ass off Add...

As a spin-off from the tube/POD thread I recently posted.... A few people made some varying comments on what they consider good tone or not... I think there can be a distinction between the tone used on a recording and live sound. I find Lee Ritenour has inherent TONE in his playing and live...

An excellent article for those new to mixing/mastering.... http://www.prorec.com/prorec/articles.nsf/articles/5C8127B86D60C1B9862566B9001EF763

...this one seems as good as any.... Anyways - I need to do maintenance on my Mackie's 8-buss meter bridge.... and Mackie tech support is closed on the weekend.... How the FUCK do you get the front faceplate out??? The channel/tape monitor switch is in the way, and the metal shell is fully...

I owe sonusman and ametth an apology... well... sorta... While I have always contended that a POD (or the Pro version) never gave me a decent clean sound, I didn't quite believe the difference between a mic'd tube amp and the sound of a POD would be as dramatic as they made it out to be. Yes...

I've always been outright replacing the wheels as part of normal maintenance on my XT20s, but someone mentioned that they could also be cleaned rather than replaced. How can you tell if you simply need to clean the idler vs. having to replace it completely? Thanks... Bruce

To keep up my chops in between clients, I started doing "tracking and mixing exercises" where I select a song, try to mimic a majority of the production elements and essentially sharpen up production techniques by figuring out what they did and then emulating it... mind you, I'm not trying to...

On a 24/96 track, I enabled the compressor, a single EQ adjustment, and I wanted to experiment with the limiter. When I tried to engage it, the unit displayed "DSP memory full" and wouldn't allow me to continue. Now I understand what the message means but what I don't understand is why I'm...

Just for shits 'n giggles - and 'cos I wanted to document the differences I noticed, I've done a mic comparison of a 20 second guitar clip, recorded using a variety of mics. I've made a ZIP file available (MP3s) at http://www.echoices.com/webFTP.nsf?opendatabase. The only downside is that I am...

I've just updated my studio site's gear list page to include links a related website for each piece of gear in my inventory. It may be a useful reference to some of you! Bruce

Well ok... maybe my second... Funny I hadn't noticed so far, BUT my Masterlink has some serious output level... so much so that test tones (ProSonus Studio Reference Disc) recorded at 0db show up as +3db on the board - VERY HOT... So I'm thinking, no problem, just go behind the rack and...

Is there a box out there that will let me pass at least 2 channels of digital I/O from AES/EBU or S/PDIF to the lightpipe and back?? I know of 1 such box - Midiman SAM (I think that's the name), but are there others? (I want to do digital transfers between the Masterlink and one of my ADATs -...

Found this on RAP and found it clear and concise - thought I'd share! Bruce
