uh-oh. What about SF's built-in Dynamics processor? Does that do limiting? Y'know, I have this stuff at home, but I'm NEVER there... Daf (off to school now, home about mdnight:( )

Okay, but what happens when you use A8 direct to the PC? Do you get hiss then? Sorry I wasn't clear. Daf

Have you tried the no-amp/cab setting direct? Any noise? When you run through the amp, are you maxing your early signal, or making it up with the master volume? Does frontloading your level help with hiss reduction? I'm finding my J-Station to be problematically noisy - probably having to do...

An effective way to get loudness without it all turning to mush is to do more limiting and less compression. If you boost 12 db and limit at -1db, then everything that was between -13db and 0db will now be -1db, but you'll still have your full dynamic range (but 12db louder) for levels below...

I use my 5b's as realtime monitors for my keyboard - thus helping avoid audio and VSTi latency issues when tracking. They're also (1) backups for my passive Monitor-Ones, and (2) my keyboard "stand" - I balance the keys on top of the 5bs, giving me a space on the desk underneath for my cpu...

I grew up with some guys who did much the same thing with a Teac A-3340 - except that they only had ONE machine, and did the bouncing internally. They got an excellent sound! It had a lot to do with understanding how a track would sound two generations later, so they rolled off a lot of bass...

Has anyone tried this? Take a direct recording of a guitar and apply a mic modeler after the fact? I had an arpeggiated guitar track (from a loop disk) that was pretty colorless, and I got appropriately chided in the clinic for using it. A few of the reviewers said it sounded like it had been...

Here's the final version of rats' verses (we did this offlist): Red Paula the bloody was sexy for sure And in my goth band she would gyrate and sing And I made her my own starlet for ever more That night that I earned me my scarlet red wings! Sing ho!, for the hoor and take comfort, poor john...

s'aight, ms - jes playin. But now that the topic's on the table, know where I can score me some nubile dancing girls in skimpy veils (virginity optional)? :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Daf (true nubility is so hard to find anymore)

I think he's using the other meaning of track - like CD track #7 follows CD track #6. He shore does talk purty, don't he...:D Daf (a recorded track is like eating a bowl of cornflakes with skim milk, but a MIXED track is like eating a bowl of corn flakes with cream, brown sugar, and raisins...

Rats, check your email!!! Anyone else suddenly jealous of rats' rock star life??? ;) Daf

mmm... Julie... :D I was hoping to maintain the ABAB rhyme scheme, but 'tis but a small point. Th'insipration's the thing!!! Daf

That was fun - tried it on one of the QS-8's better (clean) guitar patches last night - 8-bar solo, sounded better live than on the track, though. Not sure if I'll keep it, but the guitarists who are SUPPOSED to cut the solo keep flaking out on me...:( Daf ("Slaps" no more)

Good luck...

Keyboard mag has a review of one of em this month (the other was reviewed in June '02). I forget which was which. Reviewer found some weirdness in the envelopes a few octaves up (read the review for exact info) but said it wouldn't deter him from using this ALL THE TIME. I'm happy enough with...

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

What Al said. Love his stuff, but he added no more to the genre than, say, Robin Trower. Daf

Here's a more or less final take - names modified slightly to avoid slander suits, a few word swaps, one line change. Ratso said he might offer up a verse, too: Sing ho!, for the hoor and take comfort, poor john, Soon her looks and her money and pimp will be gone. Sweet Mandy had hair of a...

No fair, you peeked...

I'll let a B3 enthiusiast answer the first ones for you, but basically they're saying that the design imperfections are part of the character of the sound, and they've gotten those as well as the "perfect" Hammond sound earlier emulators got - listen to the diff between, say, Wham's "Wake Me Up"...
