No i've got dbx gate, it's when i'm playing the hissing is audible - i have to keep my amp down low sometimes when i record due to certain intolerant people. I don't want to eq, gate or record directly.

Yeah i'm recording via pc, my mesa amp and effects chain are noisey & i would just like to try something different to get rid of the noise. I've got gates etc. It's just to keep me occupied.

Hello everyone, i've been searching for ages for a noise reduction project. I can't seem to find any. I don't mean a noise gate, i have one of those. I'm looking for a project like an old DBX or dolby noise reduction schematic to get rid of hissing and other annoyances in realtime. The simpler...

Given the omnipresence of compression on today's recordings, particularly in grunge rock, it's perhaps surprising to find he doesn't actually like compression very much. "I'm not a fan of the sound of compression and I try to avoid it. I've used stereo buss compression on one of the hundreds of...

Think what you will, just because some engineers end up using too much compression (which is easy to do, it can be quite addictive). Doesn't mean it's a bad thing. I hate in your face harsh sounding records, I know how to use a hardware compressor correctly because i have been taught how to and...

Nah, i'd go for the boss compression sustainer!! :D

Come on, it was the first site i came to, ahem...DBX compressors available at all major music retailers. The classic 160 (i'll stop) :D

Hardware vs. Software Compressors "Most modern sequencers have software compressors these days. These come in many diffterent styles and types and many of them sound quite good. However, these are mainly for post-recording. You apply them to an audio track or soft synth as a plugin, after the...

Excellent, shopping time!! Again :(

The Birds & The Bees Sorry, your not getting it A Outbourd compressor is used by all pro engineers and amature engineers that know what they're doing. You use it to OPTIMISE a signal being sent to whatever is recording the signal. The compressor acts like an automatic fader turning down the...

Hello, i just bought a tascam portastudio for ideas etc, it has no balanced i/p's. I just want to connect a SM57 to a mono jack i/p. How do i wire this. I've looked on the net but it's just filled my head with jargon - i just need to know which pins to use and if i have to join 2 xlr pins or...

definatley along with the tele & lespaul I think the tele is a lot phater than the strat and the phased sound inbetween the pickups is more pronounced. The strat is more jangley, i love them both to be honest. (before another argument breaks out and people start crying this is my opinion :D...

Jesus Christ Monkey Balls!! You can't compare SS & TT (total tubeness). I was lucky enough to be given a fender twin silverface by my uncle yeeears ago when he retired from gigging. I used it extensively - it was my first amp. I then bought a SS and the difference in sound was amazing - the twin...

No actually not as simple as that - eg bass; Bass pickups Bass Tonality BASS PLAYER Bass amp These all effect the signal level - so what if you've got a bass player who likes to pop and slap - you are saying the gain should be turned right down to stop clipping? That's madness, you then have...

Yeah i know what it's used for, i just have been unable to use it to create a natural sounding large room. With me, when pre-delay is silent it sounds relativley good, when i start messing about with it i get annoyed and end up hating everything reverb like. Mabye it's because i havent got the...

Can you get realtime software compressors that inhibit incoming signals from clipping therefore optimising the recorded signal? You don't need an amazing outboard compressor if all you're using it for is to limit the signal to stop it clipping (as long as it's fairly transparent). You can then...

The PX1000 also has an extra mode "it improves flexableness" (Quoted from the behringer website) Sorry, joke :D Your better with the PX1000 (Patchbays - the only behringer products that wont smoke as they are passive)

Here's a great guide for any doubts you may have about SH http://www.prepal.com/data/Fostex.htm

Pre-delay is something that confuses me to be quite honest, i've not always been subtle in my use of effects - but i've never been able to use pre-delay as an additive to natural sounding reverb. It's probably down to my incompatance but that is one reverb attribute i can only use for...

I use reverb more as an effect, i like huge ambient soundscapes - The Jesus and Mary Chain - Just Like Honey. I hate boundaries. I like musical sounds. I like music. :D
