You guys are awesome. Let me get some sleep and I will respond (and try to clarify a bit). I still advise against normalizing. As to MS technique I use it frequently. My concern comes from the device's MS encoder/decoder. Ignorance pleaded here as I am not familiar with that device. I suggest...

Welcome! This is a great forum. I have been eyeing a H2n for a while so I really can't give advice about that units setup. However I bet when using the MSED you could end up with some strange 2 track stuff when you mix (if you could call 2 track processing a mix). Someone else is sure to chime...

A little late but +1 for the DSL. Underrated but very good. Ac 30, tasty too.

Sorry for the re-post. Preemptive response to my thread, I have read 100's of items about monitors "which is better etc... " until my eyes began to bleed. For years. Since 2004. Done. I would like to get a response about the current items available that sound "accurate" and do the job well. Is...

I have used wharfies for 5 or so years. I now hate them. Boxy and annoying but... I am used to them and the mixes translate well. It's kinda like the old Ns-10 days. Recommendations in the 1000.00 range. I have had some recent requests for mixing some tunes and they have come out fine. The...

Engineers are there to get the sound "right" using tech skills and exp. I am in the camp of "I really do not care what type of music you want to record/reproduce" I am there to make sure it is done correctly and accurately conveys the artist's/producers intent within the medium. I do not care...

"True...especially as we haven't specified WHICH industry yet!" So funny. My setup is pretty modest compared to some forum members. The comment about a trained/pro on cheap gear is so true. Not claiming anything but an amateur (god bless em, been one too) with hi end gear has nothing on a pro...

My exp is that Reaper does not play well with other audio drivers active. I have disabled windows drivers, sounds on board sound card etc. (def "sounds" as you can get nasty surprises with monitors turned up). I use Win 7 and have my RME drivers as sole source. Post your results of cleaning and...

Did someone say Emery Amps! Have had one for a few years yippy! I began to believe I am the only owner on the planet. The superbaby is still pretty damn loud. Good friend of mine uses a Palmer (which model I can't remember )with a Plexi clone and a JSX and has been pretty happy with it but now...

+1 on "movers blankets" You should check out Ethan Winers web site. He contributes here often. Great information and a very knowledgeable guy. Ghetto stuff works. I use heavy blankets on a clothing rack all the time since I cannot modify the room perm. It truly is a dramatic change when I dampen...

Good thread. Distance is tough to achieve sometimes. One techniques already mentioned is dulling the high end, that is effective as high freq material in nature (real acoustic space) carries less energy then low freq info. Try a mono reverb return with low pass filter panned in the same space as...

oops Double post, I forgot to answer one of the Op's questions. Not exp with the NT2a but I have used the At series of mics and have had good results. The 4050 is really good but way over your budget. check out the Mic forum Harvey Gerst has some great suggestions, his sticky is required...

Treating your room is your best option. Not too expensive. The reflection filter things are "cool" but will not address the real problems. (room nodes and reflections) save your $ or pounds to treat the room. BTW keep coming back to this forum there is lots of good information and friendly...

Pig sloppers too! No joke I know plumbers who make a fortune. Hard work but $$. (not calling plumbers pig sloppers btw) I meant real pig sloppers. They don't have a union. No dues and pigs are always hungry.

Ableton live might fit the bill. I would not characterize Reaper as a "beat making" program even though you can use it for that, it is a fully functioning workstation for music production. (recording, editing and mixing). Ableton is geared toward live performance and pretty cool. I have demoed...

A good education (that means you try hard) in an area other than "audio" will take you farther along the path to doing what you love. Not bashing audio programs out there, many are quite good but the market has changed so dramatically that the "studio gig" really does not exist anymore. Think...

I have to chime in on this. Get a degree from a good institution (University) in a field such as E.E or Accounting. If you want to put food on the plate don't get an "audio" degree. With a proper marketable education you can make $$ and then squander it on audio related things. This advice comes...

I must agree with Master Shoot for -12 or -16 dbfs. It may "look" small and trick you. I do a bit of mixing these days and I Hate clipped tracks. I come from an analog tracking background where hot levels where the norm I want to push levels out of habit. However, in todays 24 bit world one has...

Disable internal soundcard (ocnor good call!). Likely a conflict. Why bother with internal soundcard when you have external? My Win 7 machine will sometimes boot with the internal activated and it causes problems with my external. (RME). Also (as mentioned already) check your buffer settings...

Farview has it right. Please note that extreme and immediate panning can sound a bit confusing to the listener. You may end up with a "ping pong" effect that is unintended. As noted in part three of Farview's post the double tracking effect can add a nice thickening effect when panned. You will...
