    MPX 500 or Reverb plug in

    As Chessrock said you need to make 'wet only' copies of the tracks you want to process and then import them back into your mulitrack and name them appropriately.. ie.. Vox 1 verb Solo acoustic verb Snare verb etc.. You then just bring those verb track volumes up or down as if they are...

    Laptop 'headphone-out' connected to a monitor amp: any potential problems?

    The impedance of the amplifiers line input will be much higher than a pair of headphones so damaging the laptop output, or the amp input itself, shouldn't be a problem if you're sensible. Of course the level provided by the laptops headphone output should give you more than enough signal! Just...

    MPX 500 or Reverb plug in

    Unfortunately I didn't like the 'rooms'! ;) What I didn't like with Trueverb was it always seemed to suffer from the same type of resonant coloration no matter how the parameters were set. Granted it tended to have that 'room' kind of sound but the hall and cathedral settings just sounded...

    MPX 500 or Reverb plug in

    I recently purchased a TC Electronic M-One XL after comparisons with an MPX-500. The MPX-500 was okay but the M-One XL was far better IMO. Having spdif I/O will let you print the effect to your DAW if you want. If you want a Lexicon either get a PCM91 or better. I don't think the MPX stuff...

    I'd be careful asking questions like that around here if I were you! ;)

    What if you were me - Mic Pres

    Not at all. My IC'itis comment was not directed at anything posted here. I fact I used a Sytek about six months back and really liked it. In hindsight I should have made that clear at the start of my post. It was more of a general observation regarding comments people often make with regards...

    What if you were me - Mic Pres

    I think too many have got IC'itis! It's sooo trendy to say.. "If it's got an integrated circuit anywhere in it then it must sound like crap." I once had a hi-fi salesman tell me that the preamp I built was crap because it had 5534's in it. He was trying to sell me some $2000 esoteric pre that...

    a human head?

    They wouldn't be piezo elements... they'd most likely be small high quality electret capsules implanted in the side of the dummy head. A number of companies produce binuaral dummy heads. A well made binuaral recording played back through a good set of headphones can give you the impression of...

    A preamp word game

    Hmmm.... mine kinda sounds like Nelson's willy... sort of aged, soft and wrinkly... definately not hard! ;)

    RNC ideal for running through guitar during recording?

    Is it an acoustic or an electric guitar? If it's an acoustic with the standard G - G# resonant soundhole 'woof', then taming the peak with a good parametric eq will allow you to use less compression. Most acoustics have a signature 'boom' somewhere around this area... unless you have an...

    I did some research on the Mackie/Behringer lawsuit

    Re: What is sacred? For those who doubt Behringers BLATANT plagiarism.... Swizz Army Cable Tester Behringer CT100 Cable Tester The funniest part has to be the "Designed and conceived in Germany" printed on the side of the Behringer. "But I swear it came to me in a dream... I've never, ever...

    Neumann KM184 or Rode NTK

    First up I would suggest that multi-micing in the way you described can lead to pretty major phase problems if you're not careful... so I'm going to suggest an alternative way of stereo recording which won't suffer from phase problems. Have you heard of MS (mid-side) recording? As for the...

    Beezo took the wind out of my sails

    It's the same story as the C1 versus the C3. Both the B1 and C1 being substantially cheaper than their multipattern counterparts are, due to that very fact, going to get more press in the 'bang for buck' department. I haven't made a direct comparison between the B1 and B3, but inspite of the...

    Neumann KM184 or Rode NTK

    Yes the KM184 was the replacement for the KM84. It's the old story... the trend these days is for brighter and brighter mics so that's what we are generally winding up with. The 184's, while not totally disimiliar to an AKG 451 are IMO a bit classier sounding than the AKG. The 84's, on the...

    The worst mic and cable EVER?

    Radio Shack PZM But then again, the original Radio Shack PZM (the square one) was one of the bargains of the century! Just cut off the unbalanced 1/4' and fit an XLR and BINGO... it's now balanced! Replace the 1.5volt battery with a nine volter and BINGO again... you've got more headroom. ;)

    my c3000b sounds like crap

    Harvey, It wasn't supposed to be serious. It's just a bit of a loose reference to a couple of previous threads... My C-1's sound awful & Studio Projects Thought Police If you get my drift. ;) Cheers

    Neumann KM184 or Rode NTK

    The KM184 being a small diaphragm condenser is more suitable for acoustic. It will have a better transient response and less off axis coloration than the NTK. The NTK, being a LD condenser is really more suitable for vocals, and although it will work on acoustic, it would not be my first choice...
