    Work on your attitude towards jobs and university and do a reality check on being homeless. Seriously. I'm not being sarcastic, I mean it.

    Another Mixing Contest: Back By Popular Demand

    Hey Simman, nice work there! I like how the banjo sits in your mix. I didn't feel like putting it to the front, felt the track needed more of the accoustic guitars, but it sounds good in your mix. Oh, and is that a PT9 built in reverb? I think it sounds real good! Maybe just a tiny little bit...

    Another Mixing Contest: Back By Popular Demand

    Hey Kev, thanks for the compliments. I always like to do a second mix or an updated mix on the second day, so here it goes: Two Young Lads v2 I start to notice things I overheard at the end of the previous day,when I have slept over it. So now I adjusted the accoustic guitars, spoken words...

    New mix contest (rock)

    I'm in, too. I don't have Cubase but if WhiteStrat could break it down into the raw tracks without any additional cleaning, I'd definitely give it a shot. There's a 5GB limit with the free accounts on box.net so we could share it with 4 to 5 accounts. I'd donate 4 gig of my account. Kind of...

    Are Virtual Instruments too good?

    I can only speak of my experience with AddictiveDrums where you really need to be careful with the preset kits and inbuilt effects just as kcearl pointed out. They mostly sound great when soloed but might not fit your song. Always use the clean kits and learn to mix the separate channels (bass...

    Portable Recording Rig - 16 channels - What am I missing?

    Yep, saw it! Crazy design, looks like a radioactive time capsule from the future! Not really my cup of tea but I'm always slow with new things ;)

    Tascam 58--no playback from Sync on 1 track

    Let's not go down that path again.

    Pro tools 9!!!!!!

    Yes there is one universal PT9 but the improved feature set that you can use with any interface applies to the MBoxes, too. That's how I understood the website. To get more features you can buy the toolkit on top of it. So there is no version like LE or M-Powered anymore and the interfaces you...

    Portable Recording Rig - 16 channels - What am I missing?

    MXLs are kind of hard to come by here in Germany. Tube LDC? Don't know, I just thought a good LDC should be part of any mic collection and I figured the Baby Bottle to be a good one according to the reviews I read. I've heard a Rode NT1-A which I didn't find too bad. Regarding tube LDCs, i'm...

    Portable Recording Rig - 16 channels - What am I missing?

    Click track should be no problem, I could even record a shaker for example and loop it to provide a more organic click track. Other than that I could use about any sound from Addictive Drums. I think I can find something for everyone's taste ;) I've thought about room size and bleed, too and I...

    Portable Recording Rig - 16 channels - What am I missing?

    Yeah, I know, definitely a broad question, so I'll try and answer yours first ;) Own FOH or monitor sound techs? I don't think so. I'd think, if they already have their own techs, they'd more likely go to a studio with some track record (pun intended) and not go the rehearsal / mobile rig route...

    Portable Recording Rig - 16 channels - What am I missing?

    I agree, that would be a challenge. Good advice with the mic splitter; I might be able to return the vocals at line level from the interface into their mixer but that would alter their rehearsal setup. I think it's good to have several options of how to record. That would largely depend on what...

    Portable Recording Rig - 16 channels - What am I missing?

    Hey there, I'm planning to build a basement studio in the long run, but since I won't have a basement for the next 1.5 years, there's no way I will be able to track a band. There may be some mixing contests coming along here at HR but I can improve in mixing only, and still won't have any...

    Returning Mic a Healthcode Violation??????!

    Well, jumping in and out of threads while commuting between Leipzig and Berlin here in Germany. Two and a half hours to kill every day... Other than that I've begun to assemble a little "semi"-live rig which should be up and running in January. I don't have a room to record in, so I plan on...

    I'd say, keep em both! Can't do wrong, owning two really good mics... Cheers Tim

    Is IT worth buying a proper CD recorder

    This is simple. Use the best A/D converter that you have. Avoid as much A/D and D/A conversion steps as you can. If you have a good firewire/usb interface, use it just like Miroslav to push it into PT. It's digital then, so just burn it. I'd even master it to PT to avoid the old DAT A/D...

    http://shop.avid.com/store/product.do?product=324639693075136 $249.00 it is, at least from where I access the site. It's a so called "crossgrade", maybe there was some confusion about updates/crossgrades. The version including the Instrument Extension Pack is more expensive of course. Cheers Tim
