ABX High Fidelity Test a la Tidal

I usually buss the vocal to reverb, then add eq (to reverb buss) if needed, pull the fader up till I start to hear it, then back it down a db or 2, till it's really hard to hear, I'll also automate the volume, or reverb tails if needed, to shorten or lengthen if needed. I like to compress...

did the 2408 come with the soundcard ? You'd need the PCIe 424 soundcard and drivers for the motu 2408. Hook up your mics into the tascam board, then use insert cables into the insert jack. that gives you preamp I/0. Hook the insert cables to the motu 2408. just pick a pair of in and outs on...

Matched pairs of Schoeps CMC6u condenser microphone w/MK2s capsule, get a lot of love at my favorite Recital hall. For classical guitarist, those and DPA are used there.

what kind of budget? Gefells get a lot of love for acoustic guitars. My favorite was just a U87 14" off the guitar around the 13-14 fret (neck joint area). That said for detail and clarity the 4015 DPA pair was stunning. Expensive though, but no more than Royer's , ok maybe a bit more...

Check out the sE Electronics V drum series mics. I haven't used them in the studio but, I heard a live band using these and they sounded fantastic. They were also using the V7 vocal mic which I also thought sounded very good. I talked my sweetwater rep about them, he praised the heck out of the...

Are you able to send the festival, or sound company a stage plot. with all I/O needed ? That's usually the way to make sure the sound company is prepared up front. Send them a current stage plot. Most pro sound companies can accommodate your needs, if given advance notice.

my bad, I was looking up Phantom powersupplies, This one popped up, ad misquote said 48v. Honestly the only ones I've seen are Coil Audio's, in a studio, other than that it was console, or interface.

how about a used Shure PS1A, power supply?

Do you have phantom power on for the microphone. It requires Phantom power either from the Audio interface, or a separate phantom power supply. Also make sure the DAW in preferences, or wherever you need to look , make sure the UX2 is chosen for the input and output. When you bring up an audio...

I use to have that. The street right outside my house was a 4 lane busy city street.. I had an issue here at my new place. Periodic noise, even though I turn the HVAC off, and the computer is in a soundproof ISO box. I had forgotten about my refrigerator. It was two rooms over but, when it...

I did the Microphone parts mod to the MXL990, the MXL was giving to me. The MP mod is really just using the body of the MXL, capsule, board and all components are replaced, except for the XLR plug. New basket, too. It made the mic very usable for my vocals now. I like it better on my vocals...

how does it sound? Was it a noticeable improvement?

deep punchy low end? Get close to the mic, soft knee compression 6:1 or so, kind of heavy handed a bit with the threshold, and then limiter to even it out overall. Don't use any eq/filters, until you have the track to mix, so you can make the adjustments.

Waves has an affordable Autotune live. It works real time. Not extremely expensive either.

I’ve used Motu 2408 mkIIIs, Motu HD192s, Avid, and even a Behringer UMC204 without any problems.

A lot of the movie composers that use midi orchestra VSTIs, use Digital Performer, it’s got a bit of a learning curve. It’s sequence, and chunk systems, and excellent scoring ability, make it ideal for composers doing big movie scores. Usually they’ll write and arrange in DIgital Performer...

The Focusrite, interface is fine. get a 2 or 4 mic pre interface. Mics, Just starting out look at the sE electronics sE7 (good SDC and won't break the bank). Along the same line, if you don't have a treated room, the SE Electronics V7 sounds real good for the price. I'd use the sE7 on the...

I usually use mine at around 35-40 with my condenser mics, and 50 or 45-50 with the dynamic mics. I was just curious because I kept hearing about how sweet the coloring effect of a 73 is on rock vocals when you push them hard. Yet I've never seen one video with anyone pushing them way up...
