I appreciate your reply and..... I dont' want to be a smart-ass but here was my question. what do you love about it? How are your recording different from before you had a masterlink? Do you love it because of the ease of use or does it smooth out the transient spikes? Or does it make your...

what do you love about it? How are your recording different from before you had a masterlink? Do you love it because of the ease of use or does it smooth out the transient spikes? Or does it make your mixes sound more consistent from one system to the next?

Seems like a pretty spirited debate about the Masterlink. My studio is not computer based and I'm thinking it would be nice if the Masterlink was the piece of equipment it was advertsised as. I'm more musician than engineer and when it comes to making copies of my recordings, that is when I...

don't you mean an r? C'mon, I knew that!

well, any tips? use buss outputs? turn off eq when recording? I'm not at home now, but i've got to look at my settings again.I've got something turned on/off that I shouldn't have.

I didn't know any better. I do use the buss outputs. My former board was a Tascam 2516. the post from the user of the HD24 leads me to believe I am doing something wrong, it's not the difference between digital and analog. Maybe I just need to relook at what I'm doing. Any more...

I had a TSR-8, half inch tape. I did hit the levels pretty hard but I know not to with digital. I'm just barely hitting the warning zone. Tried different angles, made a tent with a moving blanket. tried different guitars. I've recorded this amp over and over routinely with an SM 57...

It's an Alesis HD 24. 24 bit. Sounds fine thru the monitors before recording.

I am just getting around to using my new hard disc recorder and Mackie board and I've noticed my Sm57s sound different with digital, no umph, very thin sounding, especially when recording an amplified guitar. I used to have half inch analog machine and even tho a 57 did change the sound a...

3630 I have a 10 year old 3630 and I can't hear any difference between it and my Aphex Expressor. Or any of my other compressors. A DBX version of the 3630 and the Alesis Clx-440. I would like to play with a top of the line compressor to get some kind of reference.

which brings up my observation that albums/cd's (ie whatever you want to call a bands record) aren't as ecclectic or varied in styles as they used to be. Which is probably due to the same corporate mentallity that says radio stations should play the same 25 songs over and over (cause their...

Thanks cool. I might have settle for that as well.

It's all about a the few making a lot of money for not a lot. Kind of like the situation the Beatles helped undo in the early 60's. A Fabian or a Frankie Avalon were the Backstreet Boys or Britney Spears of that time. For a short while, they were considered the thing to listen to. And...

I've recently gave up using a drum machine and am attempting recording drums. I have several consumer compressors with gates or expanders and I'm not having a whole lot of success getting the mics placed and/or the gates adjusted properly. I'm trying to gate the snare, bass, and 3 toms but...

oh well then. There you have it. some one pointed out the ovbious answer to my stupid question. Thanks dude! I should have spent more time rephrasing my question. To get my point across, without using a lot of asides, I exaggerated. I can be subjective at the end of a project, just...

I guess no go on the use of exciters. What are the alternatives to mastering professionallly? Any products designed for home mastering that do a good job? The reviews I've read about the Alesis Masterlink seem to be mixed, but overall, it's just a good CD duplicator. I don't use a PC in...

I was listening to a mix on a boombox and although the balances were good, it needed a little sparkle. I compress my mixes just a little bit and that compression takes some brightness out. I was considering adding the high end back with an exciter, as opposed to an equalizer. Good...

Anyone use one on the entire mix? what's your favorite?

I've heard two different projects before and after mastering and my reaction was "wow, they really added a lot of high end". Sounded real harsh. I once read that Elvis got upset about his recordings getting too much EQ when mastered. Indeed, most professional efforts, sound much brighter to...

anyone have any tidbits of knowledge about how the bass on Beatle recordings was done after 1966? I was listening to Abbey Road last night in my studio and it still sounds great. Maybe because I just listened to something of mine, but I'm referring to specifically the mix. The bass is so...
