    Why Is Digital Recording So Complicated?

    "I didn't know a damn thing about computers and when I bought Pro Tools LE, I was rolling in a hour or so... very simple... " After numerous computer conversations with Vox I can attest for his computer illiteracy... ;) Sorry Joeyboy...couldn't resist. :D Just keep all levels below digital 0...

    Monitor placement relative to ear level..

    "You may end up with a comb filtering effect with the monitors on their sides, and the stereo image may suffer." There are different schools of thought on this but I did want to add some clarity. Comb filtering effect could only be increased with side orientation IF they are sitting on a hard...

    Monitor Headphones???

    Uhhhhh.... "For those who say "don't use them" and offer no more advice, well they ARE right, but until they mail you a check for that first month's rent in your new HOUSE, check out the cans mentioned and take your pick. " I believe we did! I will say this one more time. YOU DON'T HAVE TO MIX...

    Man oh man... I was really in the OZONE after I ate those big T-RACKS of BBQ ribs.... Back to reality... One method I use to keep from drastic volume changes is to use Multiband compression on a "softer" song then use the Multiband plus a limiter on harder ones in the arrangement. That way...

    Monitor Headphones???

    Robert... The best advice anyone here will give is to go listen to them yourself. Keep a few things in mind. True reference monitors have a flat frequency response by design...they will sound different than what you are used to. THERE IS AN ADJUSTMENT PERIOD with whatever you buy. Listen to a...

    To anyone waiting on Logic 5 Platinum...

    To anyone waiting on Logic 5 Platinum...

    Start lickin' yer chops baybee!! I just got mine today. The new mastering plugs were worth the upgrade cost alone. The Multipressor is outstanding. The Stereo Spread and AD Limiter kick ass as well. I can WAIT to do an entire mix with it. I was just playing around with a mix and the new...

    Monitor Headphones???

    I agree... Other than maybe checking panning... The so called "magic level" for mixing is about 80 to 85dB or so. This is not as loud as you think but remember - even 85dB can damage hearing over extended periods. Some of the best in the biz... (Massenburg for one) mixes at 50 to 60dB for...

    Good quiet hard drive?

    I've got 2 Maxtor 7200RPM ATA133 Diamondplus HD's in my machine. The two of them are quieter than my 1 old quantum... The Diamond Maxtors are super reliable and great for audio. I got a 40 and 60 gig plus a full version of XP home (OEM) delivered to my door for about $320 US... If you're...

    Another "inthebox" drawback... Even if the EQ "inthebox" was good you only have a few truely parametric frequencies to work with. When "mastering" I rarely only have 2 or 3 frequencies to tweak... In Logic (or soundforge / or wavelab) you can stack 2 or 3 or more nice EQ's AND you can use...
