Now that makes sense. If the reference is not necessarily zero, then plus or minus have different meanings. So how does one go about determining this for a particular piece of equipment. But just to be certain, now you are saying that a setting of, for instance, -10 would be 10 decibles less...

I have one of the aphex exciters with the "big bottom" that I bought after reading a strong review. the purpose was to be for the additiona of bottom end in certain types of music, some sort of expansion. In any event, I rarely use the device. Ultimately, I just don't like adding it into the...

Having said all that ai realized that the rest of the confusion is becuase the threshold is the point where the compression starts so that compression is everything above the threshold. the negative numbers almost make sense to me now.

Okay, but why then would the setting of -4 not effect the top twelve or the equivalent of +4 to get to zero and then the +8 on top of that? I think som eof the confusion comes from defining what is "above" the threshold and what is "below" the threshold. For instance, if we say that everything...

That sounds awfully cheap for that sdt up. Is this for real or what. What is the e-mail addressa and what does he want to trade, another console, other gear?

the threshold control has 0 to -20 to the right and 0 to +20 to the left. What does this mean? Which way rasies the threshold and which way lowers the threshold and what does raising and lowering the threshold actually mean? I am familiar with compression and know how to use the device however...

The example of the stage set-up is flawed logic. Though you may see the bass on one side of the stage, bass sound is non-directional. You do not HEAR it from one side but from everywhere, sort of. Bass is an omnipresent sound particularly in modern popular music forms. That is why there is...

Just an observatin but Blue bear wrote "you have no idea who your dealing with" or something like that anyway. Okay, so...who are we dealing with. What kind of thing is that to say and, by the way, what does it mean. Does this mean that if Blue Bear does not like what you have to say he'll look...

Recently came across n article comparing Brauner mic with this Lawson mic. The article admitted that it was an unfair comparison for the most part however there were points of similarity and the Lawson was said to have some of the more appealing characteristics of the Braunder. Main point was...

How about... There is a new APHEX pre that is similar to its top of the line model. The new model is a 207 or something like that. the top of the line is, I believe an 1100. Whatever the model numbers, the reviews have basicalsy deemd it exeptional. Whereas the the 1100 is over 2k, this new...

I cn't believe it I am surprised nobody has mentioned the Waldorf Attack module. I have the plug in version of this instrument and the sunds are great. For me, my only complaint is that becuase hte plug-in is VST and I have MAS it does not work without a VST "Wrapper". One could use the VST...

No BEhringer or Mackie for some strange reason, everyone here thinks Mackies are "built like tanks". I sppose that if you are going to war and need to use your mixer as a shield, that might be good. However, I have mackie mixer and I wo uld not buy another mackie product at this point. Oh yes...

But what about assumptions This thread is based upon the assumption -actually propositions I suppose - that "pro" recordings are inherently, in and of themselves, as a whole, entirely without execption, better than home recordings. Well, is this actually true? Are there home recordings that are...

Having trouble with internet connection. Posts are not registering. Sorry for the multiple posts. Tried to delete but cannot do so under circumstances. This is the second attempt at posting apology but so far it does not appear the first went through.

Many pre-amps now feature a High-Z input and/or Line input for instruments. the question is, how do they compare to dedicated direct boxes. Ultimately, can a good pre-amp with High-Z and Line Inputs eliminate the need for a direct box in a small studio?

What about XLRs I have just added a new pre-amp to my home studio. I tis racked with other gear including two 48 point patch bays. That is on one side of the mixer and there is another rack on the other side. Becuase the back of the racks is not easily accesible, what shall I do so I can plug...

Well, actually, it is I supppose "illegal". But the problem is that the term "illegal" has various connotations. I imagine that when used in the context above wherein the writer stated that the practice of switching musicians without placing the public on notice and, in fact, misleading the...
