Sorry, can't help but kick this horse. I read this and thought, "is this guy taking the piss?". LOL Cheers :)

Wavelab is killer, of course. I swear it will play a JPEG if you ask it to. No complaints here. Cheers :)

Late to the party but I don't worry about "phase aligning" the overheads too much. I usually use LDCs so it becomes a little difficult to get them close enough for X/Y. Sometimes instead of putting them above the kit I'll set them up in front of the kit aiming down at around a 45 degree angle...

:thumbs up:

Ha ha, nice try in catching me out but you missed my point. Maybe it was my phrasing. To clarify, I was saying (or was trying to say) that in a holistic (general) sense, mixing starts in tracking if you have a vision for the outcome. ;) Another thing is that you can't really move on to mixing...

I'm sort of along the same lines as miroslav. I assume, as well, that you're talking about mixing "your own stuff"? Because if you mix someone else's stuff, often it's a totally different approach particularly from a session/project admin POV. If you receive a project to mix and it has 100+...

Do you or your neighbors have an electric fence? (Hey, it's a common thing here) Cheers :)

I own Harrison Mixbus, which is basically Ardour with a Harrison console emulation. I've also used Ardour in Ubuntu Studio 12.04 and while it's a pretty full featured DAW, it's not my favourite. I find it clunky and difficult to navigate. That may just be me, though. I also found the plugins...

Yeah, don't make such a jump from Lion to Mavericks. You'll be in compatibility hell, I'd wager. Cheers :)

Yeah, a dead room will sound terrible amplified. If you have a good sounding bright room with a natural decay, the parallel compression thing might work. But I'm with witzendoz, keep it simple and follow his micing instructions. Cheers :) EDIT: By the way, the AKG c418 or c518 (the newer...

Thanks for the reply, Guillermo. Like I said, on my own systems it's been working fine and there haven't been any major hiccups yet. I also have the 32-bit version of Cubase installed and often find that it's enough since I try to manage my projects to the point that I'm not going overboard on...

I got rid of the Soundtracs because it needed a bit work, which I didn't have time for, and I wanted to make my rig easier to transport. It was quite large for a 24 channel console. I've got two vintage Chilton consoles now - a CM2 and a QM1. I use them for the front end and then I use a...

Tim is actually really cool. He'll offer you help up until a point but I think he charges 25 Pounds a year for full tech support, etc. Cheers :)

No, if you clock the ADA8000 from the Saffire. You would set the ADA8000 to receive clock from the ADAT input. If you're wanting to mix on the console from the 56 and the ADA8000 you'll connect the outputs of both units to the tape returns. I would use the console as intended so stick to...

While I love Cubase, I am quite disappointed at Steinberg's stance on VSTBridge as a "transitional aid". I realise there has been a lot of debate around this on the interwebs but I would just like to voice my opinion because it seems to be broken based on the experiences of many users out...

That is essentially what I was trying to get across. It just irks me a little when people talk about "digital clipping". It's just not as big a deal to me as distorting an ugly sounding analogue end due to clipping. Mastering engineers have been intentionally clipping their masters for...

May be an Essential thing. Full versions should give any problems. Cheers :)

First off, why would you want to monitor from the built-in sound card (which I assume you're talking about) when you have a UR 22? Why not use the headphone output of your UR22? However, if you want to hear playback from your MacBook you need to set up an aggregate audio device in the...

I think your use of reverb is based on the environment you work in. If you work in a big studio with a big live room, you may not need to use artificial reverb at all if you use room mics. Smaller home and project studio owners I would think rely heavily on artificial reverb. I like to...

A "high" mic will get you a bright sound, and a "low" mic will get you a bassy sound. lol (Sorry, couldn't resist) Cheers :D
