    How did you get into mastering ?

    OK, I am on acronym overload now. What do LAX and ORD stand for? IME, LAX = Los Angeles International Airport, and ORD = Office of Research and Development :confused: OTOH at the rate you use those disclaimers, maybe you should just put them in your sig, just to be on the safe side ;) :D

    HD-Recording Question, Mixing-Desk or MOTU 24 I/O?

    I'd say if you're using a digital mixer, you might as well ditch it and go for complete ITB setup, as long as you get an audio interface with AD converters that will match the digital mixer. MOTU is good. Also, if you have the budget, keep in mind you can use more than one RME Fireface 800 to...

    What if your vocals suck

    Yes. Do what I do. Don't sing. Recite. Or, if you insist on singing, afterwards, load it up in a sampler, and completely fuck it up with LFOs modulating pitch every which way, granular processing, etc. In other words, make it sound like anything but singing. If you insist on your vocals having...

    is this interface good?

    Also, there is no such thing as "zero latency" unless you mean latency free monitoring, which bypasses the whole AD stage, and sends the input to the soundcard directly to the monitor outs. With digital, there is always latency. The question is, how much can you lower it before your computer...

    OC703 vs OC705 in bass traps

    Which brings up a question for me. Is this calculated from the actual wall? What if you have a full wall covered with acoustic treatment, absorbers, diffusers, etc? Do you still calculate the distance from the actual wall?

    OC703 vs OC705 in bass traps

    Yeah for the panels 4" is pretty much all most of us can do. I was more referring to corner "superchunk" type stuff, where you get a lot more thickness in the center section. Although, it seems no one really knows what the hell is going on in the corners, and I haven't been able to find test...

    Indeed. Thanks CIRO!

    OC703 vs OC705 in bass traps

    Check the link in this thread. As well as CIRO's comments and the link he provided in there. From what I've been gathering, for thicker panels, less dense material has better performance in LF.

    Cpu

    You are right. While Core i7 is a beast of a processor, and you will definitely see an increase in performance, in that you'll find yourself pushing things further before you start to need to increase your buffer size (and thus latency) to keep your DAW happy, the design and drivers of your...

    Cpu

    Simply put, more cores = better performance (i.e. faster). But only if you use software written to take advantage of multiple cores.

    Great! This thread is full of win! First someone brings up race, then we get Hitler into the mix... So friggin unbelievably predictable. :rolleyes:

    Comparing: Roxul RHT 60 vs. OC 703

    Thanks for the link, CIRO. It was an interesting read. So, from the sounds of it, a less dense material, such as maybe Roxul RHT 40 would be a better choice for Superchunks, as they are thicker than 6"?

    Hey WhiteStrat, What kind of material do you use for the desk/console? Hardwood plywood of some sort?

    ITB Mixing, how good can you get it? (CLA content)

    Yeah, I just didn't want to confuse the issue more, but yes, first EQ to take out stuff that's offensive or you don't want affecting the compressor, second EQ to fine-tune and shape.

    i3, i5 or i7 for Logic Pro 9

    With computers: Get the fastest processor you can afford to get, as it will be the slowest within a year. Get the most memory your system/OS will take. With hard drives... personally, I prefer to have multiple smallish-medium capacity drives (nowdays that meanst 250-500GB) than one or two...

    Universal Audio's UAD-2 cards?

    I got the original UAD card back when it was still branded/marketed by Mackie. I'd love to upgrade to the new UAD-2. I tend to use the 1176 compressor a lot, and sometimes run out of processing power on my card. I'd also like to get my hands on the new UAD-2 only plugs. But, I am in the...
