As far as preferring analog pedals over digital, for me, it's mostly to do with noise. Every cheap digital pedal I've ever purchased has hissed like a snake. So I can get a quality $150-$200 analog pedal, or I can get a $300-$500 digital pedal with quality converters. The only way to make...

+9000 on the Decimator

I have had the same problem during bouncing with pro tools 6 when I had a very large session and had lots of plugins that I then removed and tracks that I deleted. I don't know for sure, but I think that the tracks and plugins removed are still kept in cache and loaded up every time. Also...

1024 is the highest setting, not the lowest. Try lowering to 512. Also, you can look in your task manager to see what other tasks are running. Maybe there's some stuff running in the background that you can disable. For example, you are supposed to turn off the antivirus virus software when...

My experience is that one trick ponies always do the best tricks. When people try to cram a lot of stuff into one unit, compromises inevitably get made. There is also the factor of avoiding putting all of your eggs in one basket. If you have one unit that does everything, then when it...

Well, I think you probably have a more straightforward case where you might be able to get away with filing just one registration for the album, for sound recording, music, and lyrics. I don't know whether it is customary to list the master as an author under the work made for hire option, with...

Why didn't I think of that? This new fangled Internet thing sure is handy! So is this video basically it, or should I browse some more? YouTube - How to make a Bass Trap Acoustic Panel (Tutorial) Oh, I like this video too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX0ultNDx6E&NR=1&feature=fvwp

One concern I know some IP attorneys have, especially because of the recent case law, is that registrations on compilations might not extend to the individual works, especially if there are any differences at all in authorship between works. So if you register your album, and everyone listed as...

Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but I think I have almost all of the information I need now to treat my studio, thanks to you guys. The only additional thing I'd like is to see how some panels are covered in the fabric, and get an idea for how to cut the fabric so it goes on easily and gets...

I'm an Intellectual Property attorney who got the highest grade in my copyright law class years ago, and the nuts and bolts of copyrighting stuff are not something I would try to do myself at this point. The web forms and instructions at the LoC website are really confusing, and there has been...

Ty, ty, ty!

Thanks for the calrifications. I got 6K from figuring up the 30% surface area that "realtraps" recommends, and counting on paying the $200 per 4 ft by 2 ft piece of real trap. I noticed that GKI traps are more like $110 each, and that if I buy owens corning 703 and use the superchuink method...

I'm still suffering from stickershock at the prospect of spending 6K on traps to treat a 10x13x8 foot room, and I'm wondering if it might be feasible to just eliminate the room with two or three iso booths (especially since a space that size is never going to sound actually good). So I was...

tracking is hard

Well, all I can say is that when I record bass direct from the amp into protools and throw a compression plugin on it with a hard knee, I get what I'm looking for. Not so much with a soft knee. Do you think maybe what I'm doing is an approximation of a speaker sym? Anyway, I won a bid on a...

Breedlove? I mean, maybe the tone is up there, but I just haven't ever tried one that wasn't an impossible chore to play. Beyond my hand strength, anyway. I prefer the action on a Taylor above all other acoustics, and I'll pay for it.

Were they maybe using a compression pedal out front?

From MM's link: "Low end first. Always, ALWAYS the low end first. Broadband absorption. Rigid fiber / rock / mineral wool. All four corners, floor-to-ceiling if at all possible. High-side corners (where the ceiling meets the walls) in line with the mix position is a safe bet also. " Can someone...

The transients aren't a big deal as long as I limit them out in the box. I'm just trying to get a bass rig setup that I can record with AND play live, so I don't want to rely on effects in the box to get the punchy tone I'm looking for in my bass rig. There's this one guy at Talkbass that...

I went ahead and got a used DBX 166XL off ebay. People seem to think it makes a decent limiter, and I'll be able to compare the VCA compression function of the 166XL to the VLA and learn a little, maybe.
