Was looking at this package: Waves Musicians Bundle 2 (Native) | Sweetwater.com I know Waves has a pretty good reputation. Don't know about these plugs in particular though.

Hey there friends. I'm looking to purchase some inexpensive plug-ins to bring my mixing forward a little bit. I'm currently using all in the box Logic plugins and I find them to be a little lacking. I just need simple stuff, Compressor, EQ, Reverb mainly. I'd like to keep cost under $99 a piece...

I used them in this recording: http://soundcloud.com/thebyways/rumble-and-roar I like them ok, but they definitely don't sound phenomenal (obviously for 130/pair). They're bright and tight, good for more rock stuff than picking up the nuances of a drum kit. I use my NT1as when I want a more...

Thanks again! Unfortunately it was recorded that way so I would have to re-record it to get it sounding good. I could maybe EQ it a little though, bring the high-mids down. It does have an octave pedal in the first half of the solo, so maybe that's what you're hearing that you're not liking. Not...

Listening to it again, I might bring up the volume on the right guitar channel. It does seem a little leaning to the left, but I might like it. I'll check it out in a few days :)

Cool man, thanks for the feedback! There's actually barely any reverb on the drums, but we recorded them in a pretty small room with plenty of reflection, so that could be part of it. The left and right guitar are actually the same ones, I think the left is a close mic Audix i5 and the right...

Haha, when it started I was like "wait a second... I know this song." I actually remember hearing this song back in 2004 and got really pissed it wasn't on their first record. Anyways, the mix is pretty decent for a first pass. I would say bring the bottom mic on the snare down a bit, if there...

Hey guys. I just wrapped up a session with my band, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. It's actually my first full band recording session in over two years, as I was taking a break from recording to work on my own music. Also the first full band recording at my new place. We are...

So I know this is about three months later, but I've actually learned a bit since I moved into the space! For one, the isolation isn't a problem at all. It's a little loud down stairs but not nearly as much of an issue as I thought it was going to be. So that's good news. I might still look into...

Great feedback guys! I don't need to soundproof, just dampen the drums so they don't sound obnoxiously loud from downstairs. I also figured filling in the hollow frame with some sort of insulation (rock wool?) would help stuff from traveling downstairs as much. DukeCC, I really appreciate your...

Haha, I appreciate the support. I'm leaning towards naming the album "This Must Be The Place", in case anyone was wondering which song :) UPDATE: Although it looks like there's a Sean Penn moving coming out with the same name this year! RUH ROH! DOUBLE UPDATE: AND DAVID BYRNE PLAYS HIMSELF IN...

Thanks so much Glenn for your post! I'm so thankful I have a community here that will waste their valuable time entertaining my studio questions. Unfortunately, due to space constraints and living with women, the studio space kind of became the "music/hang out room". In addition to the drums...

I know I just posted about this yesterday, but I didn't get anything back (usually you guys are quick to reply, so maybe it was TL;DR) and also I realized that my original question is a little moot because there's really only one way to arrange the room if I want the drum kit in there, so now I...

Hey friends! I just bought a house and I move in a week, so I was hoping to get some advice for setting up the "studio room". It's fairly small, but should be usable. It's on the second floor of a Philadelphia row home. I really like the aesthetics (an exposed brick wall and hardwood floors) so...

In fact, it looks like it already does that, except when I plug cables into the output jacks on the top, it disables the input jack on the top. If I could figure out a way to keep that from disabling, I could plug a talk-back mic into that top input jack and it will combine that signal with the...

Think of it like this ART passive mixer, except instead of the mixing/splitting going across horizontally, each channel just passes through the feed vertically, with a talkback mic getting mixed into all 4 channels.

Thanks Minion. I haven't found anything I can buy that provides what I'm looking for (basically mixing a talk-back mic into 4 stereo channels, think of it like 4 two channel mixers in one box, with a volume pot on just one of those stereo channels) and anything that gets close is VERY expensive...

This was the best form I could figure to put this question in, but I'm considering naming my upcoming album after a Talking Heads song I really love. After reading this article I'm a little paranoid to do this, so I wanted to ask if anyone knew if it's something I need permission for or is...

Aw man, I'm so close to knowing what that means, but I'm just not confident in my knowledge of electronics. Would you mind drawing me up a diagram or something? I can't really read schematics either, so it'd have to be well labeled. Thanks so much.

Hey Ranjam. Thanks for the reply. I actually have owned an S-Amp before and own two Rolls headphone amps similar to that one, but that's not what I'm going for here. It's not a headphone amp in the sense that it's taking one signal and distributing the same signal to multiple outputs. It has 4...
