That's the problem with the music biz...there's no accountability or certifications when it comes to recording, mixing, mastering, etc. I've been let down so many times by engineers I can't count on both hands. This is the only reason I started involving myself in the recording...

It's an obvious answer...you don't pay someone to setup your guitar and they completely F it up. In fact, you might have the technician fix their screw up at no charge then take it somewhere else. I don't see any difference in this case. No payment and take it somewhere else.

I've decided on the LA-610 Signature Edition with the NOS tubes and Cinemag transformers. I have a deposit on the only new one I could find in North America, just waiting on my tax refund to come in to pay the balance...can't wait!

Yeah, the freeze is awesome! I can unfreeze to re-edit my drum tracks and re-freeze to drop in some NY compression...wonderful!

Also wanted too mention...I can't stand recording or mixing. It's a frustrating and very time consuming process. It would be fantastic if I had the money to pay someone to do it for me. I'm a songwriter and want to get my songs out there but don't have the money to head to my local studio...

I'm looking for a popular consensus. You're right, I do ask these questions quite often and I've gained a fair amount of valuable suggestions. Let's be honest, I'm recording demos, I want something quick and successful. If 8 out of 10 people agree on something...I'm gonna try it.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check those out.

No I don't. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check those out.

Does it really matter which comp I use for NY Compression since I'm just squashing the track anyway? On the way in I'm using an LA-610 with the optical comp on soft. If the comp does matter, what plug-in would you recommend? Thanks,

Anyone?

I'm using a Taylor GS7 also with elixirs run thru an AKG C414XLII and a UA710 pre. I'll mess around with mic position a little more. The problem is I don't really know what I want until it's in the entire mix. I usually record my guitars first to a click, then drums, then bass, then vocals...

Thanks for all the great suggestions. There are numerous points here that I will try.

Thanks. I've seen a lot of recommendations for the TLM103 with the LA610 but haven't heard anything about the C414 with it.

Unfortunately I can only afford one. I'm pretty much decided on the LA610 for its lineage.

I had a Rode NT1A which I wasn't a fan of...not enough sparkle. I then had it modded by Oktavamod and still found it lacking. So I sold it and purchased an AKG C414XLII. while its a fair amount more than the Spark, it's the least expensive for a truly pro mic that is used in many studios. If...

Thanks all. Snowflake option works great!

Hi All, I currently own the AKG C414 XLII and am considering purchasing an LA-610 Signature Edition with the NOS tubes and Cinemag transformers. Anyone tried this pair? Do you think they would match well? Thanks,

Hi All, The title says it all...do u think this preset is good for NY compression? Thanks,

Hey Don, Thanks for your in depth response...it is greatly appreciated. I also would love to have both but can't afford both :( UA's response is that the Apollo will not sound like the 610 which I figured. But the downside is that there are no plug-ins to emulate the 610 either. I've found...

I should add that I'll be using it solely for vocals, acoustic guitar and electric guitar.
