    Hardware Question For Tracking Vocals... Compressor/limiter/preamp??

    Tomcat...(or anyone...)... Sorry to respond to such an old (but great, nonetheless) thread...but...using the RNC as a brick wall (which I need to do for my very next recording session) w/ those settings...w/ a fast attack time...doesn't a fast attack produce a flatter peak? So...(if that's...

    New Studio (Rehabed Garage)...a few quick questions

    you know...??? some of you guys were right...I hadn't done my homework. (Well...at least I'm humble enough to admit it, for once). So here's what I should have made more clear...what I need as outputs. Didn't realize this 'till I was looking at the Mackie 2480 & the 24-4...whereby the major...

    Sibilance & Plosives...Tips or Informationals ???

    wow... thanks...!!! Forgot to come back (& when I did...I found these wonderful solutions). Yes...I did use a pop filter...a pretty sophisticated one to boot (2 nylon layers)...on my most recent location recording gig...in front of an AT 4050. AND...this particular vocalist (who hissed the...

    Sibilance & Plosives...Tips or Informationals ???

    Hello again... I know it's part of the job (on a primary mix), but I really get tired of dipping the T's & P's & S's out of a track by drawing variations on automation envelopes. & sometimes you hit the nail on the head; & sometimes you don't, which sometimes requires sliding the nodes to &...

    New Studio (Rehabed Garage)...a few quick questions

    Tell me where I ever said that, Dani. I mentioned that I felt it made musicians perhaps feel like they’re getting their money’s worth. Besides...if you do want to talk quality vis-a-vis size...look at all the famous studios from the 60's...they're all huge. Ray Charles jumped Atlantic & went...

    New Studio (Rehabed Garage)...a few quick questions

    MessianicDreams... Thanks very much for all that...very informative & very much appreciated. To tell the truth...I had some semblance of an idea as to what the wall quilts would trap...along w/ the aesthetic consideration; & perhaps corner traps for bass. But you're right...it should be...

    New Studio (Rehabed Garage)...a few quick questions

    Live Please do not condescend toward me...my first (research) step is to come here & tap into the practical experience of the members. I've given everything anyone needs to go on...audio interface quality...DAW integration type...maximum # of channels needed...size of room...the fact that I'm...

    New Studio (Rehabed Garage)...a few quick questions

    Hello again... I'm finally there...& now plan on creating a Recording Studio by increasing the size of my garage (presently 14' X 22'')...knocking down one wall & opening it up into a 25' X 22' space [primarily because I would be embarrassed asking clients to record in a 14' X 22' room...don't...

    Slow Audio Playback...Entire System

    thanks freud... Forgot all about the Echo Console (to be honest...I actually lent my Layla 24/96 to my lead guitarist, for his project studio...& this is all happening on his machine.) I'll let him know...thanks again. MF

    Slow Audio Playback...Entire System

    Hello... All of a sudden all of the audio applications on my PC (SONAR, WaveLab, Windows Media Player...everything) are playing files at a very slow speed (sounds like they're playing at approximately 1/2 the normal speed.) I understand this is probably a sample rate thing, but does anyone...

    Layla 24/96 Question...32-Bit Input ???

    I'm not confusing anything w/ anything, Freudian. There is no such thing as bit depth as it relates to the drivers...except in the sense that the driver command codes are structured to accept a DAW ouput of a given resolution. My question was asking if the Layla 24/96 accepted 32-Bit at the...

    Layla 24/96 Question...32-Bit Input ???

    Hello... My old (not really old, but older) Layla 24/96 is being used in a secondary workstation for mastering, primarily to recapture stereo mixes from my primary workstation, post processing. My primary workstation is set up with a Lynx Aurora 8 / AES16 combo...which I recently learned has...

    uh...fellas...help?...LYNX/SONAR Woes !

    Lynx users (anybody)... Getting ready to record my second album; & SONAR & Lynx don't seem to want to play nice together anymore. Doesn't matter if I'm running v2XL or SONAR5...it's dropping out...really quickly...in some cases with only four (4) 16-Bit audio tracks running !!! (Something...

    Transfer Expansion Curves Between Multibands ???

    What's stumping me is...&...I certainly do not mean to challenge your expertise in any way (as you're already 3, 4 light years ahead of me anyway)...but why would you continue to assume that because the curve has two slopes, one means compression & one means expansion ??? Curves always have (at...

    Transfer Expansion Curves Between Multibands ???

    Hello again, all... SouthSide... Just to get back to original question for a moment (& at least hopefully solve that side of the thread)...a friend of mine from Recording Institute of Detroit tells me that it's a 1:1.21 ratio, -16.6dB threshold expander. He agreed w/me that ratio is basically...

    Transfer Expansion Curves Between Multibands ???

    well... This may prove to be a fruitless venture anyway. I took the numbers from my favorite 4 band settings on the MultiComp...figured out my thresholds & ratios [based on my above logic...(if you could call it that)]...plugged them into the Precision Multiband; & A/B'd them on one of the...

    Transfer Expansion Curves Between Multibands ???

    [posted prior to my reading your update...but still on the beam, I think]: no...because all numbers here are in the negative; & these are all truly expansion curves. Look at the scales. The input scale runs 0 to -90, right to left. The output scale runs 0 to -90, bottom to top. Just like I...

    Transfer Expansion Curves Between Multibands ???

    wait a minute... looking again at the display...the input value (-16.6dB) & output value (-1.2dB) are unified at the node (breakpoint.) In other words...-16.6dB input is at the exact same location on the display as -1.2dB output. Yet your saying that this breakpoint IS the threshold. I can't...
