At 24ms you're outside the parameters of Haas... the portion of the Haas effect to which you're referring is: "a reflection that arrives at the listener in under 19ms is perceived as part of the original signal"... in other words, at 24ms your brain has percieved this signal as a distinct...

Running a mix through one? If it's like the EQ on the ATC-2 then I probably wouldn't. Don't get me wrong, I really love the EQ on the ATC-2, it's just that it's more of a "production" tool than a "post production" [mastering] tool. I would say that the Speck ASC-T is a much better tool in...

The DAC-1 does have a volume pot for the headphone out... as for the "ATTY" we have one on the 'shop stereo'... the taper of the pot is all wrong for use in a studio. The first 3rd of the pot's throw nets little result, the subsequent 1/2" of throw will take you from 40-100 in a heartbeat...

You're experiencing a problem that a lot of folk that are new to the craft experience... you're trying to "get" the sound rather than "capture" the sound. What I mean by this is that you haven't really said boo-peep-"word one" about the tuning and sound of the drum itself. Now there are a...

Yes... I have used a Drawmer 1960... had to use [or was instructed to use, and the producer thought I was using] a 1960 for much of an album... which led directly to the invention of the Drawmer 1969. I found that the 1960 was like trying to pull my audio through a sponge. Very washed out...

Paranoid... I think you may be screwed. My, albeit limited, experience with the DMP-3 didn't show it to have the resolution I would want from an amplifier on my overheads... and Teacher, can you clarify "sounds like shit when it's overdriven". One person's "sounds like shit when it's...

It really depends on what you want built... tube, solid state, compressor, mic-pre, guitar amp, monitor switcher... yeah, there are lots of guys that do "custom work"... but you have to pick the right guy for the job.

First you'll need to tune the drums as was tuned during that era... no bottom heads on the toms, no front kik head and a fairly dead but not muffled snare drum. Once you do that, then it's just like recording any other drums.

The thing about 2 buss compression is that it can do more harm than good if you use an inappropriate unit, or misuse a good one. The idea with buss compression is to: 1) get the mix a little louder while maintaining the integrity of the mix; A) get the mix to "gel" a bit better without...

Similarity is in the hands of the beholder... depending on your critical levels of "similar" an API can sound "similar" to a Neve. The bottom line is whether the thing sounds good to you for your applications, not whether it sounds "like a Neve".

The resoulution and stereo field of a better D/A converter will give you a better idea of what has been recorded. It's part of the monitoring chain. A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link... so, in other words, you can have the greatest monitors in the world, but if the signal you're...

Most of what a "pop filter" is for is to keep spit out of the microphones transduction element... whenever you sing moisture comes out of your mouth, it's best to keep that moisture away from the microphone's transduction element or the quality of the tone will degrade more rapidly than desired...

It really depends on the stuff you're trying to accomplish. If you're just doing writing demos, then the least expensive stuff possible for you to get a sketch of your ideas is all you need... if you're trying to "make a record" then you best be robbing some liquor stores and getting a whole...

Just curious... that I have my professional affiliation in my signature file... is that a problem? At R/E/P [where I'm a moderator] we prefer it if those who post have their professional affiliation in their signature file so we can have basis for evaluating the validity [or lack of] the...

Here's a novel idea... how about you ignore all the meters [except when the peak meters turn red... then pay lots of attention to them and make sure they're not red anymore]. Try recording everything at a level where all your faders go across in a straight line and you pretty much have a mix of...

Dude... rob a couple of extra liquor stores or gas stations and score a Toft ATC-2... they're two channels, a thousand bucks, and sound $4,000 better than any of the other crap mentioned in this thread so far!!!

First off, it's not an expensive mic. Second, unless you're near a train line, heavy trucking, or have a floor that isn't solid [as in it moves when you dance on it] a shock mount is basically only for cosmetic purposes. So... if you really do need to isolate your microphone from coupling with...

The kids that come out of the U-Mass / Lowell program seem to really have their shit together. In addition to 'how to operate a studio' they seem to be given a good bit of studio theory and MUSIC theory. Any moron can learn how to use an SSL, it takes someone with a damn good grasp of theory...

I know you guys have seen a bazillion photographs of lg. diaphragm FET [and tube] condenser mics being used in overhead applications... but to be quite honest with you, a Shure SM-57 [or pair of Shure SM-57's] will work quite nicely. In fact, if the drummer is using some kinda brash sounding...

No need... the Royer R-121 was one of the mics that was used heavily in the proto-type listening to the MP-2NV / ME-1NV... they work very nicely together.... and yeah, the 'holiday special' on the 'Speck 5.0' is a pretty cool thing... it was great of Vince to lower the price for the holidays...
