One question -- I thought it was advantageous to mix the thicknesses of the wallboard so that they would resonate at different frequencies? (as opposed to always using 5/8) -------------------------- Ahhh, yes.... you've observed some of the literature correctly. I've never seen any good data...

ROD REPLIES> HOWEVER - there is no STC advantage of 24" over 16". -------------------------------- Before you read the following... I'd like to know what you think of a product known as "Quiet Rock" ever use it? Just wondering if this is BS* hype... Here is a web link to the company...

Alright I'll throw my hat into the ring.... I'm not supposed to link directly to the file (BBS rules)... but if you just go to this web page you can click on the 3 song samples yourself... Vocals are missing on purpose, although there is some subtle vocoding in the background. Lemme know...

I just listened to "WASTELAND" (and all the others actually)... I'd like to offer more detailed opinion on other songs in the future.... but lemme just say this: I'm not sure what your perception is of yourself, especially if you've been riped on before by others.... It would take me awhile to...

Theres one thing they forgot to leave out of the article. INSULATION. and another thing: DOUBLE FRAMED WALLS (preferably metal studding) Plenty of talk about Sheetrock/drywall... and soundboard (which I assume they mean Homasote... )... but to forget to tell people about insulation is a...

Chess> And did I mention they usually just sound like ass? ---------------------- :-) yes they can.... but.... if anyone wants to try running Phill Collins, "In the Air Tonight" through one...... oooohh.. If that low end-eeriness doesn't raise a few goosebumps... then I'll admit I'm wrong and...

MUSTAFA> So what's your point? No one is downing the use of Mx'mzr's just the unnecessary need to use it on every track! --------------------- It was just a general response I was making which was not specific to this thread. I've seen multiple message threads on homerecording.com and other...

BLUE BEAR> The ones I used added noticable artifacts to the signal, especially in conjunction with the gate (little clicks & pops as the gate engaged/disengaged)... ---------------- Ah yes, the ol' gate clicking.... The Alesis CLX-440 also does the clicking.... but only on the attack (never...

Alright, this whole..... anti-enhancer backlash phenomenon is a very interesting sociological observation.... it stems in part from the "record it right in the first place" philosophy.... which I tend to agree with myself. However, theres a time and place for every piece of gear in the rack...

I sing praises to my Alesis ION. I do the engineering work for an "industrial music" band, and so I'm the guy who has to explain all the technical nuances of equipment to the guys who use it... and having gone through all the features of the ION, I'm very impressed.... For the money... we just...

Thought I'd rehash the usual 3630 thread... because I know that there are some people who just desperate need their daily/weekly "fix". They can't go a week without saying what a great paperweight it makes.... So, consider this your weekly therapy, if thats you. Anyway, my question is more...

QUOTE> Alright dudettes, maybe its not WARMNESS, but the tone of tubeness is definately different, regardless what dipshits and assholes on the internet want to name it. ---------------------- Apparently, the term "warmth" has even more meanings that I thought it did... I've always...

Industrial - good post. So would you reccomend sampling at the highest rate I can? Do you have any experience of the dithering problems some people have said they've noticed? I wasn't suggesting recording at 44.1/16, just pondering why Teacher reckoned increasing the sample rate improved his...

I try not to play favourites with brand names... I don't give preference to big names..... but I have several "sound enhancer" models and the Behringer SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!! And I don't say that because I dislike Behringer or because they are not a "premium brand name". It just sucks. I have the...

Stupid counter-question to your question..... but uhhh... isn't that what the "MIX" knob does?? ... controls the ratio of wet to dry effect? If the knob is turned fully clockwise, it should be maybe almost 100 percent wet (as a guess... probably not... but maybe close). Why bypass then?

quote> that's weird though because there's some scientist's Law that says you need to sample at twice the highest frequency. we can't hear higher than 22kHz so 44.1 should be fine (which is I guess why it was chosen for Red Book CD). ------------------------ Putting the marketing "hype"...

There are all kinds of home remedies, as well as newer and more advanced methods of eliminating various odors.... I'm no authority on these new techniques... I've only read about them from time to time...... however, I merely offer the suggestion that you using non-dilluted BLEACH to solve your...

I highly reccomend the Alesis CLX-440, which has 4 channels (2 dual stero linked channels))... Current price as of posting is $200. If your on a modest budget, not only will you get more channels for the money than most other decent units out there (like the dBx)... but I suggest you make good...

Goto the APHEX web site... and download the user manual for the Aphex 204..... for some unknown (yet very thoughtful) reason they included several pages in the manual on how to wire cables in all different ways to help resist noise. Diagrams are included. This will only take 2 minutes.... go...

Well, price, as you might guess, doesn't always correlate with quality.... I've actually been impressed with some of the Behringer stuff [which I've personally tested against better models in my studio].... but if your looking to go with a bigger name brand, as opposed to the more generic stuff...
