It's one thing Cubase excels at (and the reason I started using it). It pings your hardware, and adjusts latency accordingly. Otherwsise, the D/A/D conversion will add a fair amount of delay - usually just a millisecond or two, but enough that it can cause issues...

Exactly !

I always mix thru a buss comp. (well, almost always) Seen several fairly well known engineers mix, they ALL mix thru buss compressors. It's why SSL became so ubiquitous.....

You mean when mixing ITB w/ Outboard gear, or actual mixing out of the box? Analog has no latency.

My experience as well. The better the drummer is at keeping tempo, the more likely the will want a click. The ones that are all over the map swear the don't need one. This really goes for all musicians though. Any good musician will be able to play to a click effortlessly.....

OK, even if a track is recorded with the "appropriate" amounts of 100-200 hz content, wouldn't cutting that content be noticeable - or even obvious? The singer sang up close on the mic, and has a pretty deep/loud voice. I can't imagine too many singers having more natural low frequency...

Whether or not it NEEDED a low cut is sorda irrelevant. The only way it wouldn't matter is if I recoded it with a hi-pass filter, and there was no content below a set level. This is NOT the case. It was recorded on a UM92.1 full range, and pretty heavily compressed with a MC77.

Sm7 :d

Get all the individual instrument tracks - not a two track mixdown.

OK - Just for shits and giggles, I took a pretty sparse chorus section from a song I mixed awhile back. The mix is kinda screwy since my outboard is no longer set up for this song, but that won't really matter for this - although without much bass guitar, the vocals should be even more...

All of them of course.

Simple answer - yes.

Only had 30 minutes to mix, but here goes - http://www.lightningmp3.com/upload/promises16bit.mp3 I'll add some comments later. I welcome all comments on the mix! :D

The NTK is slightly hyped in the 3k range IIRC. I'd go with an SM7.

Not gonna happen. You can do the classic eventide effect, and in small doses will not be too noticeable. If overdone (especially to the levels on the H&O track), it becomes very fake and modulated sounding. If you try and hard pan the original, and the delayed track, the modulation will be...

Absolutely - it's called a phaser...... It's a WHOLE lot easier to double track stuff. No plugin can duplicate it.

That's why God created Eventide... :D

It's two separate tracks. Listen to it. The enunciation is slightly different, and the timing is not the same on every word. BTW - that "character" is EXACTLY what you get from double-taking tracks. Works great with guitars as well. I do this exact thing ALL the time. So do most major...

Oh, and that Hall and Oates tune is two completely different tracks. The timing is inconsistent between the two tracks.

edit - I see that you are adding a delay to the one side. that is the cause of your flanging.
