What is a "2 bus"? Is that a term or just a regular stereo bus? So you basically have two drum busses. 1 that's not processed and the other crushed?

In your Mix View pictures is VTM the Slate Virtual Tape Machine and VMR the Slate Virtual Mix Rack? I just did a search on VTM and VMR plugin and that's what came up. The VTM is just one plugin, but the VMR is a giant bundle. Are you using one particular compressor from the VMR bundle? Is it...

Pro Tools w/ the Apollo Duo interface. Was the guy from the video I watched correct about the FMP (not FPM like I wrote earlier) being the only way to keep a track's pan value when sending it to a bus (which would mean that sending tracks to a bus, via the output drop menu, doesn't carry the pan...

I've recently been experimenting with making a separate bus for the OH pair and then sending that to the main drum bus. I'm now sending all the drum tracks to the drum bus via the main output. The reason why I like using the send bus along with the main out's is cuz of the FPM feature (or...

When setting up the drum bus do you just change the track output to the bus being used or do you also enter the that bus as a send too?

I posted these pictures on another forum and everyone there said it was insulation, with absolutley no absorbtion qualities. They said blakets would be more effective. I guess the only way to find out is to hang it up and listen. Hopefully it's not a total wash and end up in the trash.

I lucked out big time the other night and found a decent amount of what seems to be acoustical treatment material. I took a couple pictures of the stuff in hopes that someone might recognize what it is and what it's used for. You can't really tell by the photo, but the inside is a hot pink...

What's the difference between the Grid and Nudge? Does it make a difference when selecting the note types from either of these?

In Pro Tools you can select the note type in the "Grid" and "Nudge" (to the left of the Time Code display) drop down menu. I've been using the "Grid" drop down menu to select the note type...just because that's what the guy in the video I mentioned above used. I have no idea what the difference...

I've been messing around with replacing kick recording with kick samples from the XPand 2 plugin in Pro Tools. I've noticed that you can choose between 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, etc. notes when adding the sample. What's the difference between these note types (I don't have much music theory)? I've been...

Definitely. When we do the actual recording all mics will be using XLR to XLR cables. We're going to rent a RE20 for the kick and bass amp (gonna DI the bass during the live recording and then overdub another bass track with the RE20 on the amp). Gonna try it on vocals too, A/B it against one of...

I've been messing around with tracking/mixing the drums. I'm curious how you guys setup your Drum Bus when mixing. At first I was sending the Main Outputs of all the drum tracks to a Stereo Aux. However, I've recently been sending all the drum tracks to the Stereo Aux track via the...

Huh...I didn't think plugging a mic directly into a line input worked; I'll have to experiment with this. I'm gonna need all of the Apollo's 8 inputs to record my friend's band (only 4 channels have mic pres). I was under the assumption that to use mic's on the Line Inputs I'd need the preamps...

Don't you need a mic pre for a microphone?

I finally got it to work; the problem was simple...in the Console app I had the track set to Mic instead of Line. I needed to use the preamp on the Mackie cuz the only remaining mic cable I had was a XLR to 1/4". You can only use a XLR connector with the Apollo preamp connectors. The only way I...

For the last hour I've been trying to record through with my Mackie 1202 - VLZ PRO Mixer's Preamp into my UA Apollo Interface. I have the Mic hooked up to a Mic Pre on the Mackie, then hooked up a cable from the Channel Insert to a Line input on my Apollo. The Mic is registering on the Mackie...

I never planned on buying any Auralex products. I just noticed that they offered free advice on where to place materials in my room. I read a cool article about the Glyn Johns Drum Mic Technique: The Glyn Johns Drum Recording Method - The Recording RevolutionThe Recording Revolution. There are...

Definitely. That's what I'm looking for.. what the cheapest materials are that will work. I have access to the tools needed to DIY it. All I'm trying to do is the bare essentials. Something so I can hear all the frequencies when mixing and some basic stuff for tracking. My room dimensions are...

I have some nice recording hardware/software, but no acoustical treatment for my room. I just can't afford to buy any professional material. This obviously hurts both tracking and mixing aspects. I'm writing this post to see if there are any cheap alternatives to the expensive pro stuff. Even if...

Are the wedges you guys r referring to monitors? If so, i dont have the cash for those. Thanks again for the help.
