I was wondering how easy it is to transfer 24 bit .wav files via USB from the Tascam 2488 to a file folder on my computer? Do you just hook up a USB cable and your computer will recognize the 2488 as a device that you can open and move the files from there or what. I bought my 2488 when they...

How about the ART pro Channel

Any thoughts on this unit, will it warm up a large condenser mic and I've heard they are noisy, Is this true? ART Tube MP Studio V3 Also looking at PreSonus TubePre V2. Thoughts

Great responses, to expand a bit further on my original post, I still am wondering how close most of the plugins are in performance to the original hardware. I imagine there is no one answer and some are probably better than others. I'm 61 and have started what I am calling my "better late than...

Everyone,, I just thought I would toss this out there and see what peoples opinions are on the whole craze of modeling plugins after vintage consoles and outboard gear. I have purchased more than a few mostly from Waves on sale, and I'm curious what the "real engineers" that do studio work for a...

Multiband compressors have their uses. For simple brightening of a mix it's a bit of an overkill tool, like trimming your toenails with a demo saw. I think yes and no, If all you need is a little top end then yes, if what is needed is several small adjustments to several frequencies the the...

I try to get my mixes as close as I can and when I think they sound dull or lifeless I grab a Waves Mulit-band compressor. Either the C4, C6 or C3-16. All have several mastering presets and you usually can find one that will get you at least close to what you want. Then you tweak the bands from...

That depends, I use the Waves C4, C6, C3 Mulitmaximizer and the L3-16, Not all at once of course. These compressors have some pretty good presets. I usually find a preset that gets me close and tweak from there. One of my issues has been to get the low end of my mixes to transfer well to all or...

I am using the Waves L3-16 on my master mix buss and again on the master buss of the CD project. If I have done my mixing properly all I should really have to do in the final mastering stage is adjust the volume levels of each song a bit and maybe just tweak the overall tone a touch so each song...

Any suggestion on the sites. I have seen some with some breakdowns but not full. Some of the tracks a great. some average, some sound like Karaoke. [ Not good]

I know I am going to get slammed here by some but the approach I am taking more and more is to get the mix as close as I can to how I want it to sound, then apply a mastering compressor on the main buss and tweak from there. That way by the time I get to the final mastering stage that will get...

With the Wave L series I would just jump to the L3-16 right from the start. I think you get the entire L series if you buy the L3-16 and I noticed a big difference right away over the other L's. It can be complicated so you need to be careful or you can screw things up real quick but I think...

Just curious how many people insert a channel strip or some other bare bones FX like a comp. or eq with input controls as the first part of their FX chain. I had a situation were I needed to do this as my basic input level was over driving my Waves CAL3 Bluey even with that input level turned...

I really appreciate all of the input and information. It is very helpful. I have not decided what I am going to do yet except you all helped me decide to wait, do a little more research and see if I can at least A/B my C3000b against some of these others at Guitar Center. 1100.00 For a a...

Sounds good , I agree about creating a separate folder before importing to your computer. I learned that the hard way years ago. Same goes for export/import from my 2488 except I have to do the transfer via cd.

And I was looking for clarification as I don't mind throwing a hundred bucks away taking a chance, at 400.00 I need to be a little more sure what I'm getting into. That is all. I guess what it all boils down to with mics and so many things in music. Each individual has to find what works for...

I have not been able to find one in decent shape anywhere close to a hundred bucks, That is for the SM7b. Retail is 399.00 They must be a good mic because the used ones go for a lot. Not always but one way to spot junk in anything is if the resale value is very low. People usually really want...

WOW I have a Peavey Cirrus bass, Bubinga/Walnut 5 string,[ not the inexpensive ones, the real deal ] It has active pups , 2 9v batteries. When I've used it in pro studios the engineers have told me it is one of the best sounding basses and easiest to record they have come across. The few times I...

Do you mean the SM57, I was talking the SM7b, runs around 399.00 I think. I own a couple of SM57's use on snare drums.

Looking at the Focusrite Scarlett version 2, is there a quality difference in the USB powered unit vs the 12v powered units.
