    New Interface vs. mic pre

    This is correct. If you were to get a pre-amp that had digital ADAT out on it, and run it into the 1814, you would essentially be using the 1814 as a firewire connection. Also, I think that's hogwash what the guy said, he's probably just trying to move some TC Konnects. A step up in the pre is...

    Problem with automation

    I'd like to start getting into doing more automation, like riding the fader on vocals and what not, but I tend not to use it because it makes it much more difficult to change the overall volume of the track if I find it to be sitting improperly in the mix. Also, before mastering, I like to make...

    Micing an accordion

    I mic'd one for a recording once just using XY with my NT1a mics. Sounded pretty good to me!

    Overheads are too busy

    Thanks guys, I'm not really sure how I did it, but I got everything sounding pretty great actually. I put a dip in the EQs on both overheads of -4.5db at 240 and then also added a low shelf, and but then put +4 and +3 at 2450 and 10000 respectively. I guess this boosted the important frequencies...

    Overheads are too busy

    I have this old mix that I'm trying to play around with, since I've learned quite a lot since the first time I mixed it. I went to go take a listen to the drums, and apparently I had no idea what I was doing because they sound awful. I still tried to work with that I have and started mixing...

    The best 8-track home recording?

    I've always been a fan of the Boss BR series. I learned to record (for the most part) on a BR-1180CD, which had pretty decent sounding pre's and loads and loads of functionality, with a much more intuitive interface than the other studio-in-a-box units I've used. Only downside was it only had 2...

    Arg! Tracked all stereo tracks by mistake! Should I convert them to mono?

    I'd imagine you'd have to otherwise everything will be coming out of your left speaker.

    Could you take a look at this diagram I made for a live sound setup?

    Forgot to ask, what's the wattage on those amps?

    Could you take a look at this diagram I made for a live sound setup?

    It's a classic setup, can't go wrong.

    Cheap/free sequencer wanted

    There are a bunch of free ones for Windows that do this (strictly MIDI), just do a google search for "free midi recorder" or "free midi program", most of them have the ability to display sheet music of the midi programming. It's weird that Garageband doesn't do it.

    Non apple mac?!

    Glad this got bumped. I posted a thread about this about a week ago and the people who responsed seemed to have no idea you could even run osx on non-mac hardware!! Technically, OSX's EULA violates anti-trust laws by bundling their hardware and software together, so hopefully pystar has a good...

    Alesis IO|26 or Presonus Firepod (both $400)

    Haha, yeah. Did they switch the FP-10 to using DICE II or is it just all the FireStudio products?

    Trying/Renting Mics

    Ok, I thought I had posted this already, but I couldn't find it when I went back to check on replies. We've all seen the million and one threads in this forums asking "which mic is better" or "which mic should I use for this". While we have a large group of contributors to attest to a mic's...

    Alesis IO|26 or Presonus Firepod (both $400)

    Also a happy firepod owner, but that IO|26 looks pretty nice! Can anyone compare the pre's and conversion? I'm sure they're both garbage in comparison to the big picture, but I'd also imagine one sounds better than the other.

    Do you listen to learn?

    Haha, when I owned a car, i used to find myself driving while leaning to the right to get a proper spacial representation of the mix. It probably wasn't too safe, but I heard a lot of good ideas/techniques that way!

    Smoothing out bass guitar

    Yeah I thought so too. I think maybe he means riding the faders vs. clicking dots with the mouse.

    Logic Pro 8 vs. Logic 8 Studio

    Yeah, you can't buy pro without studio, it's a whole package. As far as I know. Mine was only $150 from my school =D

    Mac OSX on a PC for recording

    I can't afford to buy a used one right now. I'm running it fine on my macbook, this was just more of an experimentation thing and I posted to see if anyone else had done it. Maybe I'll be the pioneer!! Also, I have a spare PC to do it with, I just need to upgrade the mobo and processor, which is...

    Mac OSX on a PC for recording

    Actually, you were right when you said CPU instructions, while x86 is the instruction set, it has to have SSE3 extension to the instruction set in order to run OSx well (and SSE2 to run it at all). I think the liscensing for OSX says to only run it on their hardware, but a) that violates...

    Mac OSX on a PC for recording

    Yeah, I actually have that bookmarked already :) I'm just curious if anyone else had built a hackintosh and is using it for recording or knows a good reason why it won't work very well.
