[I don't understand that last post] Whuh? [/I don't understand that last post]

As long as both inputs are going to the BK, just hitting the 'MONO" button will take care of the mono sum. If you're only sending to 1 MixCube, you're fine. If you're sending to both of your normal monitors (assuming that you have a pair of monitors in there somewhere) you're also fine.

Mostly just "+1-ing" BSG. Maul-the-band compression is usually a band-aid for a broken leg. Aux sends to effects are almost a must... Rule of thumb would be only to insert when you're trying to *change* something (EQ, compression / expansion, etc.). Aux sends when you're *adding*...

I think if you pack the walls, it's a benefit. Safe 'N Sound of something. I'd go with the "coffin" and fill that space with rigid fiberglass or rockwool. That's going to make a fairly dead space, so you can always add some reflective surfaces later. It'll also be a giant broadband trap...

If we're talking broadband panels and 703/705 (or some sort) bass traps, most likely yes. If we're talking foam sheets and foam triangles, most likely [just cancel the order].

This isn't a tutorial - It's an advertisement.

Yeah.... I don't want 16-bit. And I tend to work in - well, "unlimited" resolution (analog) much of the time. But upsampling is pretty common to get rid of aliasing that can happen along the way and many plugs that don't upsample natively just tend to sound a bit (nicer?) at multiples. And...

24-bit at the project's sample rate or a multiple. Some "natural" headroom (non-limited), really any amount. Non-dithered for the most part. Nothing really wrong with anything you said...

The difference is (forgive me) massive. That's a nasty ring you had in there... Two of them actually, pretty close to one another. I'm actually shocked you got that kind of horsepower out of 6 panels.

Measuring in an untreated space is like trying to fix a leak in a room that's filled with water. A measurement will show that the room is in need of broadband trapping (as basically every room of typical construction is). We already know that. So putting in a "base coat" of broadband trapping...

Assuming the speakers will be near the desk, the starting point is fairly universal. The exception in this case being the closet door in the lower corner. He'll hear a much bigger difference if he can get the high sides at some point also. Even shooting the room - I wouldn't even bother...

Floor to ceiling upper left and upper right with the 50's, lower right with the 100's. When you get more (100's), the high-side where the wall meets the ceiling in front of the desk and over the door to the rear. Then, get more.

And is this happening to *that* file or *all* files?

The Haas effect is one of the most dangerous things ever named by Haas. That said - Back in the day, I was kind of a big fan of getting that ultra-wide kit sound -- I'd delay one of the mics maybe 7 or 11ms and the other by 13, 17 or 19ms (notice the prime numbers in there...?) to get that...

Everyone says there are "no rules" in recording - but there are 2. 1. You will only ever hear as accurately and consistently as your monitoring chain allows you to hear. You could have a zillion dollars in gear, the best mics, the best preamps, the best outboard, the best plugs on the...

This was actually interesting. Just tossed in rough estimate numbers - Thought I had more in speakers / treatment.

This is sort of an unfair comparison... The first mix is easily the -- least distracting (for lack of a better term). More open, more airy, more clarity, more definition -- But it's also the obvious source that would lend itself to be that way. There are barely ever two things happening at...

For years, I was using portable Zoom recorders (H4Ns, H4N Pros) with external mics for archival classical recordings. I thought they were reasonable at best, noisy, somewhat glitchy, but they got the job done-ish. One day, an orch director ask me to set something up so he can record a...

Bringing up the "two rules" -- (1) You will only ever hear as accurately and consistently as your monitors allow you to hear and (2) your monitors will only ever be as accurate and consistent as the space they're in allows. I can tell you with some certainty that the space you're in is an...

I think you should use your meters to calibrate your system and then do everything you can to ignore them. Except your final peak level I suppose... Do everything you can to stay away from -0.0dBFS. The discrepancy is probably the peak vs. RMS of your kick. The compressor may be pulling...
