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...
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 :)
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...
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...
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?
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...
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...
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
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...
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...
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.
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.
