You could try taking the plugins you have to extreme lengths. There's actually a surprising amount of weird shit you can do with compressors, gates, high pass filters, etc. I almost never use chorus or delay or things of the like. The closest I come is tremolo (as long as it's arhythmic!). If...

i like the 609 and an off-axis i5. love the combination of the two. easy but effective. very full sounding but not necessarily an ambient feel. throw the fathead and/or 4047 in there for the fuck of it. you can always get rid of the track. have fun!

EQ and Compression Techniques Pt.2: Drums - Audiofanzine this is a pretty good article

So I have a question that sort of goes along with the theme of this thread. I record on Reaper and whenever i mix stuff down i have to put a compressor and a limiter on the master track to make it an audible volume. I'd rather not spend money at all on mastering. So I had the idea of importing...

AGREEAGREEAGREEAGREE though blending a 609 with an audix i5 is nice btw my vote is for audix i5

I'm happy with mine. I recommend 'em for the price. Combined with Reaper, I think I'm set for a little while at least. I haven't had a reason/chance to use the USB hub in the back but I like that it's there! The VU meters on the interface are virtually useless though. Trust the ones on yr...

that's fair

yep this was a ridiculous idea. don't know why i did it but i can't take it back and i wouldn't want to anyway. and i don't have a problem with any of you or the responses i've gotten. though there is a certain tone that i find unsavory sometimes on this board. guess i just tried to expose it...

Just wanted to see how yinz felt about the resident alternative curmudgeon that we all love to hate to love.

everyone's just so quick to correct it seems. i sometimes EQ my voice to give it a different timbre or accentuate, in extremes sometimes, a certain aspect of my voice. it's fun for me. and i like noise, though it's never really been a problem when i've done this. and even if it was i sure as...

glad i could get you guys all worked up about such an arbitrary topic. keep spewing.

Okay so a while ago I tried to get a vocal tone that sounds like Ash Bowie of Polvo and I stumbled upon a mixing technique that I really like (at least for my vocals): Boosting around 50Hz and 5kHz about 8dB and attenuating around 200 and 2kHz about the same. Maybe a even a little more. Like...

HUP... figured it out... staring me right in the fucking face the whole time in preferences... OUTPUTS: 2!! of course!! i knew it'd be simple. i feel like an idiot. i don't care. fuck you guys. (kidding. i do appreciate it)

I am going thru a headphone amp connected with a balanced 1/4". And I know it's not the headphones. They're fine. I did a google search and this happens all the time apparently. Some people have been able to figure it out--which is encouraging. Something about the routing matrix? I don't know...

yeah the meter is switching to the right channel but it's still not working. i saw something about a routing matrix on another thread that i'm gonna try messing with. I'm too angry at this right now.

Headphones. I don't have speakers yet. I was just messing with it for a while and I don't know what the problem is. Plugged headphones into the computer and it's the same deal, no panning. I'm trying to see if there's anything in preferences that can help but I really don't know. Doesn't look...

"Anything" refers to instruments. whether it's guitar, drums, vocals etc. It's mono input to a mono track. There is a mono/stereo switch on the AKAI but that's only for the monitor when recording so yr voice or what have you isn't only in yr left ear. There is a very good chance that I'm just...

This is my first time posting on this board. Please be kind.. I downloaded reaper about a month ago--still getting used to it--going thru an AKAI EIE pro, overall a very modest recording situation. For some reason when I try to pan anything hard right it completely cuts out. This is very...
