Ahhh, thanks! I didn't notice anything on the 24 bit WAV mixdown, and he's only heard the MP3, and even though I do use variable, I forgot how much information is taken out of the song. I usually use LAME with VBR, with 112k-192k variable, and I don't mess with the quality setting. Should I...

Mucho thanks for the deep explination. I'll be moving back and forth between the two at school, so thanks for the heads up on the differences. At Berklee, their studios were pretty tight. SSL 9000's in like every room GML EQ's out the ass, more U87s than you could shake a stick at. And maybe...

Ahh, sorry bout that. That makes more sense then, as it's physical components that make the EQ, not software representations. OH GOD!! EPIPHANY!!! The software emulates the resistors and whatever else, and that's why it's so desired! Thanks for tipping me off to the answer, I was dumb and...

You have to give it to them, they make great plugins. But thanks to piracy, they overreact with this bullshit authorization crap, and more people turn to piracy. I'd like if it was linked to the Motherboard instead of a dongle, so if you need to upgrade your machine, you'd shoot off an email...

But as the color is an artificially added thing, can't it be achieved by using pretty much any EQ and just fucking with it? I'm waiting for the TC Powercore Firewire in the mail, so maybe I'll answer my own question. I've only ever used Waves, the EQs in logic, and the EQs on my Soundcraft...

You know, I'm not sure Cubase has a replacer function like PT, but if it does, that's an awesome technique, and thanks for sharing. I may sample my kit and try something similar. Along those lines, the plug BFD allows you to edit each drum, the tuning, the room mics, the PZM mics, the overhead...

I'm gonna be a complete asshole and bounce this to the top, because I know at least one of you mofo's can answer this. Please don't neg me for this, I just want an answer, not a critique. That's why it's here, not in the MP3 clinic. And my happy pills haven't kicked in yet. EDIT: And I jsut...

heheh. Props for that, Massive Master. I've always wondered, since I've never had "big" studio experience, what's so special about the whole SSL master strip EQ-whatever? I know my shit on the home side, but some of these pro things confuse me. Is it just a extremely precise and good...

I forgot to ask, are you setting up the drum tracks as drum tracks, or scores? There is an option on the left pane in the arrange window when you select a midi track, and you can change it to #drums, which is the GM MIDI window setup for drums. It has everything labeled, so no guessing.

This is usually where a compromise comes in. Groove Agent has great sounds, but the preset patterns kinda suck. So, you find a temp pattern that kinda works, jam to it, and then make the drums. I always try every different kit and pattern, no matter the style, cos some of the beats sound good...

well, here's an idea. Jam to groove agent, write the riffs and shit, and then, when you've composed the rest of the song, THEN go in and do the dirty work. It's more fun that way. EDIT: The MIDI window works GREAT for fills. Set quantize at like 1/32, and for a normal drum fill at the end...

OMG NIPPLES! Now that is an amazing Gibson. Pray tell, does it sound as sexy as it looks?

I've become the master of programming drum tracks, but it takes HOURS per song. To figure out what note is what sound, in the MIDI editor there most likely is a keyboard set up vertically on the left side. Click on those, and you'll hear. Kick drum is C1 I believe, but that might be snare...

Ok, here's the deal. I did this song in Logic Pro on a Macbook with a Firebox as an interface, as a temp solution. Link is www.homepage.mac.com/ordinarytrauma , and it's Episode Page One. I brought it over to my PC DAW for "mastering", and I personally thought I did a good job. Now, the...

Hehee, I love posting 80000 times in a row. But I did resolve my Waves problem, and can now only knock the stupidity of the registration. Apparently, the plugs don't work on Intel Macs yet. I have an Intel Mac. I didn't know this at point-of-purchase, so I'm dumb. But Universal versions are...

Anyone try these yet? They look awesome, but do they sound awesome? The price looks good, but I'm one of those people that will buy 800 plugins, hoard them away, and never use any of them (Except autotune 4 times on every track)

I found something in an old jacket once, but it didn't feel like $20 and it tried to bite me.

WAIT, dID SoMEOnE saYT ACIIIID!!!LDSF><SDMF

You know, if those were "pleasure enhancers" instead of guitar necks, and the preamp controlled vibration, I might buy one

Just wanna see if anyone else is doing the RIT program or has in the past. I'm doing it for connections, as I'm already confident in my mixing/recording/cooking skills. And yes, I know, I'm not going to get any real connections out there, I just wanna pretend, like I'm a famous rock star or...
