PT 9.0.5 and higher will work on Lion / Mountain Lion. Of course, you'd need native and not MP since you have a non-Avid interface. +1 on Logic Pro, though it works on AU plugins (vs RTAS on PT). Anymore, most plugin packages include both versions, but check to make sure your plugins are...

1. Yes, if the electrical wiring in her house is not grounded properly, has nearby interference (power lines overhead/nearby), or has outlets within the room on dimmers or on different circuits, these could all cause hum problems. Remember that in this case, your guitar or bass is essentially a...

As long as you are using a quality shielded cable, the increase in length shouldn't cause an issue. If the cable run was exponentially longer (e.g. 50ft or more) then it could be a different story. Have you thought about wiring your own cables? You can pick up cable components from...

A firewire cable is a firewire cable. Heavier will stand up to abuse on your desk, but the data transfer is likely to be the same regardless of the price. You are correct in that you need a 400/800 adapter wire. Belkin has a good reputation for durability, and it was on your list. I had a FW...

Beta 58's or SM's?

The upgrade is, to the best of my knowledge, no longer available. You used to be able to move from Express to Studio/Pro for $299, but now that Apple has moved Logic to the app store, you can buy the whole thing for $199. So you're not "penalized" per se, but the upgrade path is gone. You do...

Absolutely love mine, though my previous Mini - with Snow Leopard - was much more stable. Currently running ProTools 9 and Logic 9 on a Mac Mini i5, 2.5 GHtz, 8GB RAM, dual 500 GB HDD's (one internal, one external), OSX 10.7.5. Be careful about Mountain Lion if you're planning on running PT...

Thanks for posting this, Keith. It was certainly an entertaining read! A couple of thoughts that came to mind: The first was the aforementioned Neve console from Sound City. If anyone on this board hasn't checked out the Dave Grohl film about Sound City, I highly recommend it. The star of...

You don't necessarily have to pan the drums or piano in stereo. I'm advocating using a stereo mic setup to capture the balance of the kit and again for the piano. Where you pan these in the mix could be completely different.

Dan, First off... when we're done posting, your noob prerequisite is to come on down to Overland Park and help me install some dB-3 in the walls of the new tracking room. :listeningmusic: :laughings: Glad to see others from Kansas City on the board! Actually, when the new space is finished...

+1 on John's comments. (And he knows his stuff) On the track print, should you find that your CPU overloads due to a large number of tracks, soft-synths, or plugins, you can always print your effected vocal to a new track, then freeze the original. This allows you to listen to your "draft"...

Whatever the advice you get here, for a recording like this, I think you need to experiment with what you have and let your ears decide. Without seeing or hearing your room or instruments, it's difficult to provide specifics. A couple thoughts on your starting points: The sound of the room...

Drum Tracks: I've been known to collaborate with others via Logic & PT to record drum tracks, mostly just for fun... If it's for a commercial venture, then we'd need to talk. Otherwise, feel free to reach out and send me some stuff that you need drum tracks for.

New Beats: sold Quick Beats: sold Just have the 18" AA Mini Bell and a 20" Zildjian Medium Ride left!

+1 on Waves. I actually like a lot of the stock plugins in Logic Pro. I use the stock eq's a lot, as well as the compressors, SilverVerb, and PlatinumVerb. I do prefer the SlimSlowSlider sidechain compressor for ducking audio beds under voiceovers. I also use Nomad's BBE D82 Sonic Maximizer...

It sounds like your tracks are set as audio tracks, not as software instrument tracks. ProTools automatically configures the plugin options based on the type of track you're working in.

DeJohnette ride: Sold

AAX Sizzle Crash: Sold.

As I recall, SABIAN is a compilation of Bob's kids' names: Sally, Billy, and Andy. He renamed his company (ZilCo cymbals of Canada) after a bit of a disagreement with his brother, Armand, in the early 80's. I was very sad to hear of Bob's passing. I had the pleasure of meeting him many years...

Depends on the trade... would certainly trade for Franklin's, Grant's, Jackson's, etc. :laughings: Just not for more cymbals; trying to clear out the old ones. A few pics are attached and a couple videos of the hats and ride:
