I have zero idea what was edited at this point, but to refer to clubbing baby seals and to think this adds credence to someone's point of view is a pathetic cry for attention. It's always amazed me at the bombastic and egotistical rants that someone ensconced in their safe haven thousands of...

Here's an answer........The manufacturers build stuff to satisfy a market demand. Some of them care about their bottom lines so much that their products, while meeting a performance level technically, might not actually perform up to these levels in real life. Cheap parts, cheap labor, a shiny...

I owned a Ghost up until about 5 years ago. It had the Jim Williams mods on the master section and a couple of channels done also. It was a lot better sounding than a stock one.

The LAST thing I want is the ghost coming through from someones headphones and being out of time . Thats the kind of smear that screws things up, even noisy ballistic dirty rockin musak. If I want dirt, I can get that from some of the more 'modern' plugins that actually have a noise knob...

Now now, some do.....That doesn't mean they aren't "enhanced" eventually.

I do. When I'm almost done with editing tracks my OCD kicks in bigtime and I cut all sections of all tracks with large silences. Every cut gets a crossfade and then I save and render the tracks. This way if you are sharing the sessions to another computer or DAW, the chances of the saved...

Very interesting. I already have the Max and I don't really do any mastering here on the ranch. But I do love these plugins. I recommend them and the reverbs are really good.

Ab-so-damn-lute-ly! Use T-racks a lot. Love the Neve T-Racks stuff.

This would be something kind of along the lines of it coming from PMI....

I think the code writers for the plug-ins are first, concerned that the emulations of their classic and vintage reproductions don't vary much as to the controls associated with those pieces. And then they go after the sound. Realize that they are probably modeling a piece of hardware that...

"Real Engineers" use whatever is necessary to get the job done. But to your question..... This "craze" you speak of is certainly NOT a 'craze'. It is the evolution of the recording arts gear-wise. Years ago when I first started, you could not afford to equip a small multi-track studio...

I see "those" as a specialty tool. They aren't made to be full range and they aren't made to sound "good". They are a tool to use when needed. For example....If you have a bunch of guitars with mid and upper mid frequencies "ringing" or sounding "harsh"........LOL! My point about "budget"...

Exactly how these are designed to be used. They would NEVER pass for a complete monitor system. That's why I only had one and used it in mono to check mids. I kinda wish I had it back sometimes. I don't know what kind of monitors you're using now or if you even have a budget for them. The...

Yes. Those. Although these newer version aren't nearly as brutal as the original ones.

I cannot disagree with this in any way. There have been sets of monitors used throughout the growth of "guitar driven music" that have been instrumental in getting the distortion to sit and behave in a mix. Auratones. Yamaha NS-10's. Celestion Model 3's. JBL L100's. These are the ones I have...

There is so much more information you will need that isn't listed in the "specs". Speaker manufacturers do NOT want you know what the boxes they are trying sell actually do. It's counter to their bottom line. Speaker size has something to do with speaker response as long as it is coupled...

It's too bad you couldn't find a way around the noise problems with the Toft. For what it's worth, the preamps are a LOT better sounding in general than the Tascam's, both of which I have owned..... Your work flow you described is sort of a hybrid and as you described it you want a summing...

Yeah to this. I HPF the guitars going in and it's a very rare occasion that any of them, even in a dense mix will ever see an EQ again. And this is both with live amps and in-the-box guitar noises. Your amp choices all are of that nature of having some serious upper mid bumps going on as is...

So. Are we talking 4 NT1's? Are we talking a room with the sound controlled at all? Are we talking a basic 4 piece kit? Are we talking yards and yards of brass? Placement is relative to the conditions present. Of course the mic's sensitivity and polar pattern will have an effect on what...

The 57 has a bit more midrange than the Sennheiser. The Sennheiser is very convenient and will take just about any level you can turn up to.... The ONLY reason I like the Sennheiser is even when its on a stand the cable end doesnt stick out and get knocked around. I like the sound of the 57...
