I think that very fairly sums up the sE Project Reflection filter :thumbs up: Saying that, with the mic bundle we first got for work it worked about less than 50% of the price, and when i bought mine for home i bought a lot of gear from one place at the same time and they very kindly knocked...

lol, dude ask as many questions as you want, everyone's here to help :) Even this comes down to personal preference really. As Steen said earlier, if the acoustic guitar is the main focus of the song then stereo micing would help you fill the mix up nicely. If it's part of a denser mix than...

You make it sound like a bad thing :p As i said, i personally think the Presonus' pre's are fine (tbf they're exactly the same pre's they use in their studiolive desks and their price tag is significantly higher), plus not having to worry about buying preamps can help you spend your money on...

Wow, i don't know how i missed this the first time round. Anyway, my experiences seem vastly different to the majority it would seem. When i started out recording i had a Maudio PCI thing (24/96 possibly) which, after much trying, discussion with people who seemed to know what they were doing...

Hey man, welcome to the boards :) I've not done any extensive testing on this but my suspicions would be that the the preamps in the budget mixes vs budget interfaces would be relatively comparable. However, you do have to remember that it's not just the preamps that will effect the sound of...

For simple ease of use and for clean, solid recordings, yes, just plug the mic straight into the built in mic preamps on the presonus and go for it! The Xmax pre's in the presonus stuff are surprisingly good; clean, quiet, they do what they need do to. In the future you may find your self...

I always forget to mention this. Yeah, i've not used the reflection filter and mic on the same stand since the first week of owning it. The early sE version clamp mechanisms were god awful, tilted everything to one side, and with a heavy mic the whole thing just fell over! They have made some...

I wasn't whole heartily convinced at first but we picked one up for work as it was part of a bundle with the sE Titan we got. In our well treated life room it make a surprising amount of difference, taking the vocals from "clean and clear with some ambience" to "clean, clear and completely...

It's strange that i don't think i personally have a distinctive "sound" as it were, yet when i hear mixes from my friends or a couple of local studios i can tell very quickly who mixed the tracks even if i wasn't told. I think a large part of it is down to simply hearing songs from these people...

This was the very same question i asked myself when i was last buying monitors. I have a smallish room (about 14' x 10') and was torn between some 8's and 6's. In the end i went for 6's for pretty much the reason RawDepth suggests; the vast majority of the time i'm the only one in the room...

Tbf i'd never even thought of it until i heard the "Bruce Swedien on ribbon microphones" clip on the royer website and instantly youtubed "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" and was blown away by 1) how much percussion was on the track and 2) how flippin' awesome it sounded! I did the song as a...

I normally record tambourine with an LDC at about 4 or 5 foot back. I move around from side to side a bit to try and help tame some of the "chink" until i find a sweetish spot and go for it. Space between the mic and tambourine really do make a big difference. Saying that i've always had...

Welcome to world of buying audio equipment! :D Tbf, buying monitors and audio interfaces have been the hardest things i've ever had to purchase, mainly because of weighing up all the available choices! Mics were less of an issue as when i've bought mics i've had a very solid idea of the kind of...

Lol, yep that sounds familiar :) I have a couple of mates who bought MPB's with the intention of recording everywhere and then found they only used them in the living room and their bedrooms. One replaced his with a mac mini and the other still has his (mainly because he likes sitting on his...

Hey man, i just wanted to double check something. You already have the gear listed above and have £2000 to spend on extra gear OR that's what you're thinking spending £2000 on? I'd guess the first as you said about selling the MBP but just wanted to check (it's happened before) I currently run...

Oddly enough, i'd also be tempted to try a transient designer. As Seidy said, you do need to find the balance between taming the attack on the cymbals without killing everything. The Stillwell Transient Monster is free to try for an unlimited period and then very cheap should you wish to buy it.

I always forget about the Rode NTK. Not because it's bad, on the contrary, it's just that i use it so often i've just gotten used to it as a vocal mic. The one thing i will say about the Avantone stuff is that is does have a distinctive character which you will either love or loath, whereas the...

To swell in? Although i'm sure there's easier ways, the way i usually do it is copy the phrase i want to reverse (usually the start of a verse or section) onto a separate track, put a reverb with a "reverse reverb" setting on the copied track with the mix set to 100% wet and dry to 0%, and move...

I love it when people find the smileys and use them out of any kind of context. They make what would otherwise be just boring words look prettier.

Cool, just wanted to check that you weren't confusing audio interface and preamp (it happens alot. When you said you'd been looking at the presonus firestudio as a "preamp" i just had to check). The Maudio looks cool and pluggin external preamps into the line in's on the back would avoid some of...
