Amp Sims can be good, depending on what you are trying to do and which ones you choose. If you are just trying to disort a vocal, does it really matter if you run it through a fender twin or a mesa boogie dual rectifier? About any Amp Sim would mess up the vocal to an acceptable degree. With...

I used to run electronic drums through speakers to capture the room and some 'air' around it. Also normal reamping guitar and bass di signals and vocals throu all sorts of things to get a sound. Once Amp and cabinet simulators got good enough, I just started using those instead of setting up...

Back in the old days, when people had 15 full stacks behind them, you would plug into one Amp and take the preamp out and split it to the other amps to get sound out of all of it.

To answer the original question, normalizing finds the biggest peak and brings that to a certain level. If there is one peak in the entire song that is way louder than the rest, it will stop the volume of the sound from getting any louder. If there was an app that did get it louder, it had to...

It's two separate effects loops that can be turned on and off separately with the footswitch. The insert loop, iirc is between the preamp and power Amp. This is where you can chain amps.

First, you don't want the monitors against the wall, it will exaggerate the bass response. An extention cord is used to extend the power cable that comes with the speaker. It is a power cable with a male wall plug on ones side and a female wall socket on the other.

What is the cassette 4 track for? If that is what you are recording to, what is the apogee for? The power lead length doesn't matter (it will be a 3' universal power cable, like computers) you can just use an extension cord. The input doesn't matter, you just need to get the right cable to go...

With the way you recorded it, center everything and add reverb. In the future, you might want to do a kick mic and two overheads. Place 1 overhead above the floor tom and the other between the hi hat and 1st tom. Make sure both mic are about the same distance from the snare. The you pit the...

The sound coming out of the pa is going through the eq, any compression and the crossover. You are taking the signal before that. If the pa is set up like we used to, the pa is bottom heavy, so you have more headroom on the board. That will make anything recorded from the board sound thinner...

That's when you plug into the insert jack half way to get the direct out without interrupting the signal to the channel strip of the mixer. Essentially, he is recording a live concert off the soundboard. He needs to know how to make the signal from the pickup sound listenable. That is hard...

I've recorded drummers with a similar setup. You can do two things: 1. Record the stereo image as it naturally is (listeners won't care) 2. Close mic the hat and the ride separately and pan the ride to the other side. You will probably have to pay with it to get it to sit right in the mix, but...

All daws that I know of have keyboard shortcuts for everything, so you don't have to actually see the buttons to hit them with a mouse.

I used a wireless keyboard and mouse. I use two 32 in tvs for monitors, so I could see just fine.

If the 44.1k track plays back at the same speed as the rest of the tracks, one of two things is happening automatically. 1. the 44.1k track was automatically upsampled when you imported it. 2. the 44.1k track is upsampled on the fly during playback and mixing. Either way, the DAW is taking...

If they are all set to zero, only the first one will see the original signal. So, if you have a delay with the mix set to zero, then a reverb plugin, the reverb will only see the delay, so there won't be any reverb on the dry signal, just the delay. Then, if the reverb mix is set at zero, and...

Right. Pro level,the level that the preamp is probably kicking out, is +4 with a maximum level of +20. Those inputs are consumer level. Either way, nominal level on the preamp only gives you 4db of headroom on that input. (Thus the clipping)

Usually, the samples are already compressed and eqed. What you may be missing is bus compression. Send the output of addictive drums to a bus and put a compressor on the bus. If addictive drums allows you multiple outputs, you can send each drum to a separate channel where you can process each...

He is using an sm7, no phantom power needed.

Since you aren't working in a daw, I am assuming you don't have a mastering limiter. Using a standard compressor at a high ratio is technically limiting, however your experience will be quite different than someone using a lightning fast mastering limiter plugin. Mastering limiters are an...

I was taking it to the ridiculous other conclusion to make the point. The point being: if there are too many peaks, it will take forever to grab them and turn them all down.
