    Listen to my mix and rip me apart. This means you Ed. (or anyone)

    Everybody pretty much hit it on the head what needs to be done on the mix. You, however have a good idea how your piece should sound like, being from that particular genre. But I would like to comment on the band though. Pretty tight and good memory on the movements. Good job!

    I will finally share some secrets about mixing!

    This thread is a good illustration that knowledge does not equal good writing.

    Looking For Warmth

    I hate to loose Chessrock's input in these boards. He has and had a lot of knowledge to offer. He sets his standards high though, judging from the equipment he picks for his studio. He just gets abrasive sometimes. But don't let it bother you, it doesn't bother him. He can handle it. And...

    Looking For Warmth

    Some people get off by showing how smart(or not) they are by nit-picking peoples post. They behave like they have no clue to your question, kinda like a computer - dead accurate, but no common sense. They believe, posting a response, for whatever reason, must be good. At least it increases...

    Effect Boxes Noise

    Thanks for that insight on DAW. I thought it was effects heaven being with built-in effects, guess not. My cables are 3' only in length and are, of course shielded. I have come to the conclusion that whatever noise I have per unit, the next unit 'amplifies' it and to the next, up until they...

    Effect Boxes Noise

    The signal to noise ratio of each of these boxes are great from 80db to 90db (way back when, pre-digital days, these are unheard of and available only on very, and I mean VERY expensive units). But when these efx boxes are hooked up in serial, I get a hum or noise. Any ideas? I have tried and...

    Virtualizer Pro Or Mpx 100?

    With an effects box line up like that, I believe no one could call Sir Dingo a Behringer basher or even doubt his sincerity about his observations. I guess Virtual Pro is good for some things. But really, other than, "It should not sound, 'thin, thinny, harsh, metallic', and it should sound...

    Fostex FD 8 Digital Multitracker

    MENU TO MENU I thought I was the only one who hated those menus. Yup, they do umpteen things but to get them to work is not intuitive at all. And oh, I am not a dummy, I am a programmer, but when I record music, I have more things in my mind than the operating systems of complicated units...

    is a neumann u87 worth it

    How important is it? I guess what the question really is asking for is how IMPORTANT will your recording be that requires a great mic at whatever expense. Consider for a moment that your band is finishing up an album and all the backing tracks are complete except the vocal track since all you...

    Virtualizer Pro Or Mpx 100?

    I know this might have been compared before, but I can't find it. But for a small home studio within their price range, which one would you pick and why? I understand that Behringer has its detractors and Lexicon has many aficionados, the reasons which are clear to us. But I need real honest...

    Mixer & Recorder Mismatch

    Great idea Now that front end idea would definitely work! I have always toy'd with the idea of everthing through the other mixer. Splitting the functions is a great idea - thanks!. Only one problem, the mic pre on Fostex 450 sucks (Curious, because the Fostex 820 I had before had excellent...

    Edirol Monitors

    Loudness Doubling Thanks ooheadsoo! Learn something everyday, I guess. So I guess the edirol monitors (being marketed by Musiciansfriend as a studio monitor) is worth investigating. But isn't it that sound or loudness/volume doubles every 3db, like 91db is twice as loud as 88 db, right? I...

    Edirol Monitors

    Genelec Monitors A few Genelec near-field monitors start at 25W, would 5W really make that much of a difference? Well, all things being equal, which we know isn't.

    Mixer & Recorder Mismatch

    TASCAM 520 From the way you explained in your answer, I know that you really do know your mixers. you are right, there are different buss outs/aux outs with this mixer. I have 4 aux outs, one effects outs, etc. The board is a 20X4X2X1 (TASCAM 520). I also have a FOSTEX 450 (16x4), I could...

    Edirol Monitors

    Has anyone seen or tried these $119 to $139 self powered digital/analog monitors (with digital and analog inputs - 10W to 20w) and evaluated them for use as near-field monitors? Are they flat enough for near-field use or just as reference monitors. Their size and price sure deserve an...

    Mixer & Recorder Mismatch

    Help! How would one hook up a 16 track simultaneous recording HDR to a mixer with 20 ins but only 4 program outs? The ins have MIC/LINE/DIRECT OUT/INSERT ports. You see, most mixers out there within my budget at the most are 8 outs, still 8 short of what I need? How would one hook a system up...

    Neumann Pronunciation

    Neuman u87 is it "noy-man You 87" or "noy-man micro 87" since that "u" is a symbol for "micro" as in "microfarad"?

    Frequency of cymbal/drum flams

    why not just use a compressor? it will definitely dampen the loud and hard spikes. If that wouldn't work, try using a parametric eq and experiment.
