I use a scarlette with dynamics and generally i have to crank the gain near 100%. What gen is the FR? I think the newer ones have more gain (65 where as the old ones were like 57 db). Also check your FR software to make sure the gain in there is correct. It shouldn't be as low as yours, but...
Does anyone else have opinions on the 500 series stuff vs big transformer stuff? Is it true the 500 stuff lacks them? If not, how does one go about finding what transformer is in them, etc? Will that be listed under specs for each unit? Is there a well known list of units that use transformers...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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.
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.
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!
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.
