    Using compression as a send

    You'll have to copy the tracks you're going to do with parallel compression and nudge them ahead a sample or two to allow for the processing delay of the plug in to not cause phasing issues with the original [dry] signal... then just set up an "aux" send in the mixer of the program to feed a...

    Best sounding album you have ever heard?

    The Radiant Monkeys!!! It won't be released before September but when it comes out you kinda owe it to yourself to pick up a copy and check it out!!

    Online reamp services?

    I guess I should clarify... its "per instrument per song"... so if you had 4 guitar tracks that would be considered 4 instruments... add a bass, 5 instruments. Once the mix [rough balance] is going and the tracks are routed to the lines to the amplifier it takes the same amount of time to do...

    Radio Noise is driving me mad!

    From your description it sounds like there is something wrong with the TG-2. Call the rental company. Radio Frequency Interferance is some spooky shit at the best of times... it could be something as easy as a cold solder joint in the unit [which is often caused in rental gear by all the...

    Reamp: DI Box or DI in Mic Pre?

    With a sound to be "re-amped" later you're going to want to lay down as clear a "dry guitar" sound as possible... this is really where the rubber meets the road as all your "tone" will have to be created by your hands on the way to storage. I generally like to get the amp setup as it will be...

    Online reamp services?

    We've been doing that sort of thing at Mercenary for a while now... we have a monster amp collection and damn near every mic that is worth a shit. The way it works is you send us the track [or tracks] you want re-amped along with a copy of the song and we get the sound that will smoke for your...

    condenser for vocals?...not necessarily!!

    If you don't have a Shure SM-7b do a Google or Froogle search and get one. Get two. A Sennheiser MD-441 is another mic that is often great for vocals... certainly better than 99.98572% of the "Banjo Mart Chinese Specials" that are sold as "better than a Neumann for $0.10 on the dollar". As...

    Post your favorite tricks for audio mangling

    Thermionic Culture "Culture Vulture"!!!!!! Then there is taking MXR "Phaser/Flangers" and running them into reverb before hitting Mr. "Culture Vulture"... running the output through an SPL Transient Designer and folding it into whatever sound you're trying to 'F-up'... I mean really, the only...

    Fletcher- Iz Technologies Radar Digital Multitrack

    Well it won't let you down... and FWIW its about time for me to flip my unit for a new one [I do that about every 6 months]... its a RADAR V "Nyquist" with an AES I/O board [which can be easily removed though I have found it to be exceptionally useful]. It will include fresh drives [the ones...

    Little Feat production and engineering

    From a pure audio perspective... "Waiting For Columbus" is one of the best sounding albums I have ever experienced... it captured the essence of an amazing band live. George Massenburg produced the album... and it is a solid, sonic masterpiece with some incredible performances and a vibe that...

    Fletcher- Iz Technologies Radar Digital Multitrack

    I don't get out as often as I should these days... been busy as a mofo [you'll see why on or about 15 April]... at any rate, the RADAR converters and storage sound extraordinary. There is math involved with the storage process... so even when using the RADAR converters in front of Alsihad [its...

    Vocal recording techinques?

    Try a Shure SM-7b and a really good mic pre, and a really musical compressor and [if necessary] a high quality equalizer and you'll get something that gets closer to "professional" results. Best of luck with it.

    Getting 'clicky' toms?

    Pussy. :D Real men record drums. The "metal click" thing is a combination of several things. Fresh heads make a huge difference, tuning the top head a little loose and getting the note from the bottom head is key... adding a little 5-8kHz to the track helps with the "smack" but you'll need...

    Hypothetical Ooopsy

    Sure they will if you're going into an unbalanced input [or output]... if you're going into a balanced input then it will depend on how the input stage was designed. Many are designed to its OK to short the low side of the signal to the ground... in which case it is perfectly acceptable to use...

    Hypothetical Ooopsy

    Its "duct"... as in "heating and air conditioning duct"... not "duck". The only time I could think anyone would want to put tape on a semi-aquatic animal is if you thought it might rip apart when you fuck it... hence the phrase: "go fuck a duck". ... and now back to our regularly scheduled...

    Hypothetical Ooopsy

    Just change the end of the wire that goes from the patchbay to each unit and you're all set. If it takes more than 1/2 an hour to accomplish then you needed the soldering practice anyway. Peace.

    Hypothetical Ooopsy

    The ART most likely has a cute little IC op-amp working as a differential amplifier for the output on that thing... chances are better than even that when the phantom power hit that op-amp it took it out. Units that have output transformers wouldn't have been bothered by the phantom power thing...
