    Budget Compressor

    I just got a 3632 and I'm messing around with it. It does not sound good at extreme settings - that is, a lot of gain reduction - but it does do the EDM 'pumping' thing pretty well. I don't like the limiter and I have not yet looked at the expander / gate. That said - I would also look to...

    the cleanest preamp of all...

    There is a model with trim pots for the inputs, but I don't have that one. I always thought of that model being intended for hotter-than-line-level inputs, but maybe it goes both ways. Anyway, academic question for me :)

    the cleanest preamp of all...

    Btyre - that is the unprocessed track - I'm happy you don't hear much noise (it's hiss). I'll post the noise reduced track when I get a chance. Mixsit - the microphones are two AKG C414B-ULS with the low cut engaged at 75 hz. They are in X-Y and were pointing approximately at the 14th fret of...

    the cleanest preamp of all...

    What do you think of this acoustic guitar recording? (I tried to upload a wav file, but I guess it was too big) I ran my microphones straight into my converter with no preamp at all. I had to use an inline phantom power making thing. And then in my DAW, I added 42 dB of gain - I think this...

    replacement transformers for ACMP units

    Bump.... did anyone replace transformers on the ACMP 81? I still use mine frequently these days. It seems like I'm getting some distortion when I crank them (well of course I am) and I wonder if I could improve that sound with different transformers. Btw I use one of my 73s as a guitar...

    btyre2013, pretty pictures!! I have some elysia plugins, but I have never even seen the hardware. gecko zzed - I love how the interface is upside down - what kind of monitor is that? And what kind of monitor stand is that?

    Let's see your equipment Racks...Post pictures - Front and Back!

    OK - here are the ones I have been using: mostly for mixing, sometimes tracking - a channel strip, compressor, eq, and some preamp/eqs (from the group buy here) currently wired up mostly to be loops from the converter below for mixing and tracking some stuff in my mixing room - a preamp and...

    Urei (Universal Audio) items for sale

    Wow those are great - I guess that's a rev H 1176? Do you use the EQ much? Looks very cool.

    Stereo preamp for active monitors

    I have a couple of those ATTYs -- I used one of them for monitor control for a while. It worked great.

    DIY variable link for mono->stereo compression

    I have been using a stereo compressor that has the option for a variable link between the two channels so that the one currently exerting the most compression only forces the other one to compress, say, 70 or 80% as much. I like this feature, especially for stem/bus compression. I also have two...

    The New Tone Thread

    Nice, tadpui! - I have never had a good fender amp (just a blues jr) but I kinda want one now. Word. I use one of those TnC ACMP73 preamps from the group buy here a few years ago through a 50 watt class A EL-34 based power amp into a 4x12 and it sounds great

    Guts - 1971 Marshall JMP Lead

    hmm - maybe so - you know the circuit much better than I do. On my 2204, I pulled the bright cap myself about 10 years ago - much prefer it that way.

    Do any of you record bass/guitar with a Direct Box?

    When I play acoustic with a pickup live, I try to use a Radial JDI. I have a J48, but it seems a little noisy, and I usually don't pack it for gigs because I don't feel confident that there will be phantom power for it - I guess I only tried it once or twice - I should revisit it. I think the...

    Guts - 1971 Marshall JMP Lead

    thanks guys! Yeah minerman, there's something to be said for a well built reproduction with everything being new and strong and stable - and it seems like they kinda *do* build them like they used to at least recently. I've heard Gerg's and yours on here, and I think they're both more stable...

    Do any of you record bass/guitar with a Direct Box?

    For clean electric sounds I've been getting into using the instrument input on my preamp and then not even using an amp model - just some compression and eq maybe. And I pretty much always record bass that way.

    How do you remember your riffs when song writing?

    I'm pretty sure I just forget most of them There have been a couple of times where I woke up from a dream and recorded the music I was dreaming about. Then I find the recording some time later and it sounds like ass.
