I hear ya... I think you're right, we're kinda on the same wavelength, just looking at different angles. You brought up the point of compressing peaks - it's possible, but given the trend to overusing compression, I doubt that this is the case in this particluar example. But anyways, the main...

Hey TJ.... We're thinking the CJ is either a young'un, or his first language is not english... or both! (Ed thinks CJ is from out of North America, and I think he's a 10-year-old with a dream of doing sound engineering - or is that "deam of doing sound..."?!!?!?) :D Peace... :) Bruce PS -...

Well, for one thing - I'll bet if you normalize the entire CD as a single entity, you'll find that there really isn't 2.5 db to pull up in the first place. The meters are NOT foolproof - they don't give you the whole picture by a long shot, so you can't simply say "well - the meters show that...

Oh come on... Does that REALLY NEED an explanation???? :eek: CJ obviously meant "dream setup". *SHEESH* Bruce

You're confusing "relative loudness" with "meter levels." In the end, it's your ears that you "master" for - your meters don't do your hearing for you! Bruce Valeriani Blue Bear Sound

Yeah... like me for example! ;) Bruce :D :D :D

Sure Frank... OS = operating system

Now that you mention it... ...that's a good point!

Agreed, the PZM is THE exception (but only if modified to run on a higher voltage). The pair of mics I was talking about had a Realistic/Shure nameplate........... yuck... Bruce

Actually, I was going thru some old boxes and came across a pair of Radio Shack mics I bought back in my sound-on-sound recording days (you know, cassette-deck to cassette-deck, 1 track at a time!). Hell, that's almost 20 year ago now!!!!!!!!!! Anyways, just for fun I plugged 'em into the...

Yeah... that's makes sense.... stuff on the radio sounds like crap, and since *MACS* are used in most major studios, the *MACS* are the reason behind it.... it doesn't happen to have anything to do with no-talent "artists" or the marketing-oriented music production practices (money over...

Lexicon PCM-91: $3000 US list (reverb only) Lexicon PCM-81: $3000 US list (delay and multi-effects) Lexicon MPX-1: $1300 US list I don't beleive you can do much better than Lexicon for reverb...... Bruce

Sorry Camn - the majority of downtown studios use Mac-based digital-processing - hardly "toys." Bruce

Because those aren't really mics they're selling! (just glorified Wal-Mart video cam mic rejects, repackaged to look like the real thing) Bruce Blue Bear Sound

Just an FYI - some manufacturers specifically say NOT to place the monitors horizontally, due to the phase alignment and dispersion of the tweeters. I've tried both positions on my PS6 (they don't recommend horizontal positioning for these ones) because I was curious as to there being a...

Hmmm... a newbie with attitude... HEADLINE: NEWBIE BATTLES FORCE OF NATURE, GETS RAINED ON ...News at 11:00pm

Hmmm just came across something... an FYI for ya.... Lexicon makes 2 guitar preamps/processors - the Signature 284 tube preamp (lists around $1100.00us) and the MPX G2 preamp/processor which includes multi-effects and distortions, etc... (lists around $1500.00us) I couldn't tell you what they...

Hah! Mine too... but she STILL wants to marry me, the poor girl! ;) Bruce [Edited by bvaleria on 01-20-2001 at 06:12]

Actually, we were using a true kick mic (can't remember if it was an AKG or Sennheiser), but you can try it with a 57 and see.... Bruce

At the very least - for quality reverb - I'd go with the Lexicon MPX-500, even better - if you have the money the MPX-1. Cheap reverb generally sounds... well, cheap! Bruce Valeriani Blue Bear Sound
