    Mackie Cont. Universal

    well yeah the beringher sucks shit i'm talking about a decent console, that seems implied to me but then again i'm dealing with home-recorders. Mixing in the box is bullshit. It's pretty common knowledge that most professionals prefer to mix analog when using a DAW. But then again what the...

    What's the last mic you had in your hands?

    I can't remember but I had this weird snake in my hands today. It was weird 'cause everytime I petted it it spit in my eye.

    would you......hey? fire!

    dude you can buy a brand new compressor that sounds just as good for about the same amount of money and you won't have to have it recapped. It's not like equipment designers completely forgot how to design decent equipment after 1972. I call bullshit on the vintage gear craze. TLA, thee...

    most of the hendrix albums I can recall listening too are engineered rather poorly.

    I'm confused about Direct Outs...

    I didn't say the optimum gain for the a channel is zero, I told him to hit the ADATs below zero since we know we can't hit ADAT's at zero due to digital clipping, i.e. 0dbfs. I told him to set the channel so its level is unity gain (0) but I did forget the bit about the pfl. Hit your PFL or...

    I'm confused about Direct Outs...

    what type of mixer do you have? level setting basics: all faders at unity gain. Turn up gain until peaks reach zero. If your recording device and console meters are calibrated correctly each will be at optimum level. As far as mackies go I believe the direct outs are post fader. If i...

    issues with a patch bay

    half-normaled and normaled will work. I'm assuming you want to normal the Delta's inputs to the mixer outputs? In this configuration the console's channel outputs will feed the Delta's inputs with no patching required. First double and triple check to see you have the patchbay modules flipped...

    Blue Kickball?

    I guess y'all are too stupid to see the wisdom in my statement based on the slew of neg. rep points I've received on this one. I consider my negative rep a badge of honor, the price of telling truth that hurts. Here it is in plain english dimwits: BLUE is constantly coming out with a new...

    Blue Kickball?

    I just signed up for the BLUE microphone of the week club. They send you a new microphone every week for a year for three easy payments of 29.99! It's amazing they come up with such relevent new designs. I mean how could we have possibly made records all these years without BLUE and their new...

    Is it better to use 1/4 to XLR or 1/4 to 1/4 in a patch bay?

    The ones I prefer are 1/4" front panels with solder points in the back. The plastic pcb wingdings are a drag. They wear out quickly for one thing and the 1/4" jacks in the back suck. They come loose plus you have to pay for a jack for each connection on the back side. (48x a coupla bucks)...

    General Guide lines as to where everything should sit in the mix??

    My general approach nowadays is I'm more of a "center" man/woman myself. I try to avoid drastic panning such as hard-panning drum overheads, panning dual guitars wide, etc. although there are definitely exceptions. It does make it a little more difficult to separate instruments but I prefer...

    Sell my Soundcraft Ghost for Otari Concept?

    Oh yeah my mistake on the Helios, I actually meant Harrison good 'ol nubs was confused by the H's. My reading of his posting was he was going to sell his ghost for 8 grand and it also implied he had about 8 grand to spend, at least that's what it sounds like to me. Of course you can't get a...
