    spectral analyzer

    Hi, I know this has been covered before a while back but are spectral analyzer's imperative for mixing (especially for home recordists without a refined ear and excellent monitors (to be able to actually visualise those hard to hear low bass frequencies rather than missing them)? I mean to...

    global phantom power

    Cheers mate; it seemed like there would be some obvious explanation as many mixers state global phantom power and many people record with condensors and dynamics together.

    global phantom power

    Hi, Quick question regarding phantom power on preamps. If a mixer has global phantom power does that mean that the phantom power is either on all channels and when it's off not on any? That is how I've understood it. The problem being using say two condensor mics and two shure sm-57's for...

    Preamp quality of the Soundcraft notepad

    Hi, For anyone who owns or has used the Soundcraft folio notepad what are the preamps like? It says they are studio qualtiy and clean but it would say that wouldn't it. I have a KORG D16 and need really to have the trim levels of the D16 as low as possible as they are noisey when up; I am...

    My preamp dilema

    Hi, I am looking for a preamp for recording a multiple of sources. I am leaning towards the Mindprint Envoice, Joe Meek VC-1Q or the DBX 386 (not 376). First things first; I have not tried any out yet (I ill of course before commiting) so I am going purely on what I've read so far. The...

    What is the Shimmer Treatment on U2's guitar sound?

    Join the Yahoo U2 sound site discussion at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/u2sound/ I'm a member and get daily e-mails, part of an email that came today: I think the general consensus is that it is an orchestral- pitch shifted sound, aided by the ever present modulated delay. I won't go any...

    what to price a cd?

    Well regarding the price first. There are a few variables really but mainly what I would want to know is, are the songs good enough to warrant my spending $8 and the other part is the quality of the recordings. Was the album recorded at a studio, with a producer/engineer/arranger, with hi tech...

I have an a snare (8 inch), hit hat (which is semi-movable 6 inch), floor tom (10 inch), 5 toms (all 8 inch), and the best part, 3 fully movable cymbals, ride and two crashes. Off course I can...

    Songwriting & Money: What's Fair?

    Oh yeah,; with regard to the split-it has to be 50/50 really. Even though one of you has done the majority of the work, he came to you with the basis of the song and the original idea of the lyrics (even if not kept) and you reworked it/embellished it. The only way you could really argue it...

    Songwriting & Money: What's Fair?

    But if it's too much hassle, fuck the song and write another one. When all's said and done blues songs are that difficult to come up with; it's all been done before (well just about anyway). I try not to get others involved in my songwriting until the later stages. It's where all this music...

    How Many Guitars do you own

    H2H; have you hit some hard times or just being realistic (knowing you can only play one guitar at once (or is that two))? I kinda' know how it feels (music as an occupation as opposed to a hobby). I had to sell one also this week (Casino (yeah and the casino too (and the yacht and golf...
