From what I understand, this guy created WinAmp. I'm watching this one closely.

Check out Aphex 107. It's a 2 channel sort of "tube" pre. Tubeessence they call it. Can be had on e-bay for around $100. The 207 is the newer model, which I haven't used, but seem to be nice too.

I own a ATM 25, pro25, and B 52. I often go for the B52 on less aggressive stuff, placed just inside the head for a nice pillowy sound. Putting the B-52 anywhere closer to the head just dosen't work for me, it gets that clicky sound, but not with the right punch. The ATM25 I love for more...

Sound "bleeding" into the drum mics from other drums are a given. You can minimise this with mic placement, but in the end it's still going to be there. The trick is managing to get the sounds bleeding over to work for you and be part of the kits sound. I will often use a gate or an expander on...

The MOTU adat outputs don't mirror the inputs. It's a pain in the ass, but what you have to do is use the MOTU Cuemix DSP to assign the ins to the outputs in a rather non intutive way. hopefully you are a little familiar with the cue mix functions. example. in mix 1 of cuemix you solo 2 of the...

I have the old Alesis version of this mic. the AM-11. I love it on my voice. (see ardy77's post above - that's pretty much my voice) I like it on Guitar Cabs and it's my go to snare mic. Seriously, it's rediculously good on snare. I'm not sure what differnces there are between to 2 version, but...

Try AT pro25 for the floor tom. They are discontinued now but here's a super deal on them. http://www.8thstreet.com/product.asp?ProductCode=4016&Category=Microphones nice on floor toms, not so hot on the rack toms. Kind of a "rubbery" sound. So now you have $90 left. I'd get some cheapo...

Didn't your mother ever tell you to not go spending all the money she gave you in one place? :D Just get a few things, work with them, learn them, then ramp up to all that gear. Cut it down to the essentials. monitors. You have the budget now, so get some good ones. spend a grand or 2...

Holy crap warpfield. Man you dug up an old one! :eek: ;)

It's possible to reamp from a mixer. I'm sure the results are better from a dedicated box designed to match impedence. But this shouldn't stop you from experimenting! When sending a signal from a mixer to a amp or effect, just watch your level coming from the mixer. Keep the level going out low...

I use a 496 On my home Machine still. (Windows 2000) Mostly just playback. The GL's sound great though. Much Better than anything in that range at the time. I now use a MOTU 828MKII. The MOTU is a great sounding unit, clean and detailed. I think the GL has a distinct sound - for one It's a...

I said map not tap. And I also said "The tempo in the properties just basically refers to where the bars would be on the grid if you op to have the time and grid be displayed in bars and beats. " so yes it controls grid markers. Sorry I forgot to mention the metronome. In version 5 they never...

To do what you want you need to have an event on the timeline selected (highlighted)to record into. You can just make an empty event that covers your range. Or usually what I do Is stop after the first take, listen to make sure I like the sound. Highlight what i just recorded, set up the loop...

crappy = not good. harsh = not warm warm = not crappy :cool:

I would start of with 4 mics for the drums. A pair of overheads (MXL 603's here) a kick mic (Beta 52) and snare (SM 57) Your could get these 4 new (depending) for about $500. There are other options (some metioned in earlier post) that would also come in at about $500 for 4 mics. The bass and...

engineer: "hmm.. were having a problem with getting a good guitar sound. I suggest you take off your pants" musician: "umm... ok. How does this effect your hourly rate?" :p

I used to try and gate out unwanted snare rattle and stuff - but that was back when I submixed it all down to 1 track going to my cassette 4 track. defintly do it after.

I was getting frustrated hearing my clothing brushing up against the acoustic guitar. I came up with a simple solution. Singing lovesongs, you know, might as well go with the moment. :eek:

I would say first off, it's mostly the guitar itself that's going to give you that tone. ie for "Meaty" you really want something like a Martin as opposed to a Takamine. Also really think about how you are striking the strings - if using a pick, the gauge of the pick can change the sound...
