    Is a Mac that much better then a PC?

    That MAY have been true a few years back, but I think the distinction has blurred quite a bit now.... I'm in the same position myself at the moment - I'm considering which platform to go with for strict use as a studio DAW. My leaning is toward Mac, but.... I could be swayed either way if the...

    What is the decent DI box?

    Waitaminut..... ...A DI box is a DI box, a mic pre is NOT a DI box. A DI box is used to take guitar/bass (or any high-impedance signal) and run it into the console (or a mic pre!) directly. No effects/amps are involved at all - it's simply an impedance-matching device between the guitar's...

    Vocals & Background, Record in Mono or Stereo?

    That's pretty typical - lead vocal is a mono track panned dead centre 99% of the time. Backgrounds are 2 or more mono tracks panned (and effect'd) to produce a 2-channel stereo spread. However in the case of a choir or chorus, you may well record it as a stereo track. On the other hand, there...

    Low End Monitors

    Whatever monitors you end up with - you DON'T want to mix until you've learned what your monitors REALLY sound like (and how to translate a mix on them). The way to do that, of course is simply LISTEN - - to as much well-recorded music that you can thru the monitors, making mental notes on...

    CDR media....

    I've gone thru a batch of at least a hundred Maxell CD-Rs and not one coaster caused by media failure (bad mixes - sure! bad media, not so far!!!) ;) Bruce

    Applying Mastering EQ

    Hi Rusty, That article does contain common sense stuff, but you'd be surprised at how many people don't have any!! ;) I'm the wrong person to ask regarding Mastering s/w - I'm a hardware guy. But Ed (sonusman) may know......... Bruce

    Is a Mac that much better then a PC?

    *slaps forehead really hard 'cos he can't believe the blindness* Hey PG... I've used both in great detail across many versions of OS's - I know the pros and cons of both platforms - and the Mac still wins 99% of the time... ;) Bruce

    Brad's Up

    I've managed to get a clean tone, but I must admit, I like the clean tones from a mic'd amp better. Much as I like the POD Pro, I don't think clean sounds are its best feature. Bruce

    Mixing Vocals With Music

    Re: studio mic No... not necessarily - some vocalists sound killer thru an SM57 - different mics for different applications, different mics for different vocalists too... Bruce Blue Bear Sound

    Question about monitoring/mixingdown

    Agreed... BUT... threads like that tend to start "religious wars" (not by me!!!) resulting in posts that have nothing to do with recording at all - which is the REAL reason we're all here in the first place. If you want to talk about Mustangs, you take it to a forum designated for that.... if I...

    Is a Mac that much better then a PC?

    Sorry Camn, that's completely untrue - I worked with the insides of Macs for years, and they make so much sense it's not funny. What's really funny is how popular the PC is, yet its guts make no sense whatsoever! No religious wars here (I've worked extensively with both types of machines), but...
