The HD24 does not have virtual tracks.
But it could be solved anyway with a little creativity. Just record a mono guide track with the basic element of the song + click that people can follow. Copy and paste that track into as many new songs as you need, use it instead of click, and hit the...
Yes, sure it can be done... with a reasonable good parametric. But some cheaper parametrics down the line can't, while all 15+ band graphic can regardless of quality, which is why I went for the IMO careful "can't be easily done" phrase. Maybe I should have written "can't be easily done by all...
As long as you can get a sound out of the disc, you can capture it with another device. If it's got an unbreakable code, just use a good-old cable between the players outputs and a recorders input. No ordinary man will ever hear the extra generation D/A-A/D. In fact, the avarage consumer can't...
Graphic EQ's don't see much use in the studio (as Bruce said), but they are good when it comes to narrowing down frequencies that won't get heard. Examples would be sidechain EQ'ing a compressor for de-essing, and EQ'ing drum mics that are going to be used for triggering sound modules. In other...
I would define 70% of the walls as more than "some" treatment. Walk through the rooms and clap your hands, or better yet, put in the snare or the whole kit and try it. I really is impossible to say, depends on the measurements of the room, the drums and most important, what sound you're after to...
I agree that the C414 is more versatile due to its polar patterns and highpass etc, but saying the TLM103 isn't seen in pro studios i just wrong. It can be found in just about any pro studio mic list, regardless of how many U87/U67/U47 they have. The TLM103 is a fantastic mic, and so is the...
If you know what youre doing, theres no reason not to compress as you lay the tracks down. I usually compress gently (a few dB) at tracking when theres need to even out dynamics in a voice or uneven instrument. Vocals and bass guitar usually are the ones who get this treatment.
When it comes to...
My first guitar was actually a bass guitar, a Duke. It sucked, and I sold it. Still have the amp though that I bought at the same time. Weird german amp with a built-in analog synth.
