    KRK 7000B for sale at harmoney central

    The 7000B's are some of the best nearfields Ive ever heard and someone is selling them for $475. They typically go for around $1k. Theyre passive. They have an enourmous and detailed soundstage, a very neutral and up close presentation and they dont have the flaws of most other KRK speakers...

    Roland TMC6 signal--> MIDI converter

    Aaaaaahhhhhh. The whole thing about triggering is timing...when you play drums and are rolling, shuffling, doing quick ghost notes on dif drums many times a second, latency becomes a huge issue which is why electronic drums are still not as widely used as acoustic, especially by serious...

    Rode NT2 Vs NT1000

    I have both mics. The NT2 has more of a sheen and a narrower presence peak. It can be nasally (or complimentary) on voices with a peaky upper midrange. I think it sounds great on voices that dont have alot of upper mid as it kind of gives the vocal a sweet musical presence that it doesnt have...

    Roland TMC6 signal--> MIDI converter

    Are rolls the same as with the TD-8/10? What hardware/software are you triggering?

    Roland TMC6 signal--> MIDI converter

    Has anybody used this? Whats the latency situation? Did it make you sell your overpriced TD-8/10?

    Is this latency? Help!

    Thats not latency. Youre having dropouts. That has to do with the overall capability of your computer and is related to how fast your hard drive can stream audio (faster harddrives = faster streaming), how much pocessing power you have, and a host of other issues as far as your OS and how well...

    What do you think is the biggest buzzworthy product?

    One channel for just $975. Gideeup. I guess M-audio's tampa pre got lost in the shuffle too. Its been out for a little while and I havent heard a peep. Along with drawmers new channel strip. A year ago there were only a couple of decent options at mid price points and now there seem to be...

    Whats the last REALLY good recording youve heard lately?

    Re: blindside I just got into blindside last week after hearing pitiful. I would love to know what the signal chain on the vocals is. Then again his voice cuts through anything. Good songwriting too. Just when you thought melodies revolving around 5th note movements was beyond old. They do it...

    Whats the last REALLY good recording youve heard lately?

    Their sound does not come off as rigorous as many like to think. Listen to any 20 century piece of serious classical music and youll hear the real deal. Minimalism works IMO when it experiments with phrasing and time. Godspeed doesnt do that too much. Timewise their melodies all lay on the beat...

    Whats the last REALLY good recording youve heard lately?

    Beth Orton's new CD "daybreaker" is a real piece of art in both of production and songwriting. Shes got all these textural, dynamic electro-acoustic sounds going on which gives her open acoustic sound a complexity and musicality that allows you to listen again and again and again after youve...

    Prof studio advise

    Clearly, this is your first time out. There is no such thing as mixing a song in 45 minutes. I would put the chances of you being happy with the results at .05%. Itll be a learning experience. Next time youll have a better idea of whats involved.

    Religious experience with waves linear phase EQ

    Interesting. Nothing audible so far though the song Ive used it on has a pretty open feel as far as the vocals go. How many ms are we talking here?

    Looking for feedback..... 1st demo

    "You say" is very good. The vocals are a little oversmoothed but very well sung. The melody is interesting, expressive and not too derivative. The guitar sounds a little standard but theres worse out there. The solo is cool, I like it but I would bet a label would yank it. The acoustic has a...

    Dead Sunday

    Very, very nice. I wonder what it would sound like at higher bitrate or as a wav file.

    Religious experience with waves linear phase EQ

    Just thought Id share. I had a song with 4 vocal tracks, a couple of renEQs and ultrafunk EQs on them. Things were pretty cool although there was a slight fog and lack of definition in the low mids (somewhere around 400-800 or so). To make a long story short, I recently had credit at a store...

    Worst commercial mix you've ever heard? MIX CRIMES

    How true. None of queensryche's records have bottom. In fact most of prog rock/metal doesnt have much going on bet 170 and 350Hz. The emphasis is on detail, technique and transparency which means theres alot going on bet 1k and 10k. For better or worse.

    For those of you who long to be a "pro" engineer...

    I think the most incriminating evidence that the Lance diary is not Lance is the constant commenting on the way the drummers look. MM went on and on about fingaz and his parka and its very obvious theres a generation gap between MM and the band and people in their 20s. Which as it happens, is...

    Near-Field Monitors not needed.

    Re: Re: Near-Field Monitors not needed. Too funny. :D Frank, Your ears need to grow. Theres a very gradual learning curve when it comes to monitors. You need to start honing in on the particulars of the frequency spectrum. Try using a para EQ setting one band to +6dB or +9dB and move it...

    Can't Get the Mix Right

    4 had the most body (low mids) but lacked top end. Of the 5, thats the one I would work with if I had to but I would retrack the drums. There is no bass drum in any of them, the snare is cardboard sounding and the mid midrange on the whole mix (700-1.5k) is set back on all of them. Try doubling...
