    Minimum Wage v2

    Hey everyone. I'm posting my first song ever with me actually singing lead. I've gone about as far as I can with what I have to work with, so I'm just looking for tweak ideas.....because I am so ready to move on but don't want to wipe this off the board until it's finished. The drums are...

    Where do I reach for the last compression I need.

    Tomorrow is the day for mixing and I'm hoping to have something up for listening within 48hrs. Here's my 1 quandary without going into too many details. I don't use computers. Board and hardware fx for me. If I need to reach down and get a last channel or 2 of compression from my available...

    Please help me understand the routing of the group section on my Topaz.....please

    Don't get me wrong y'all, I know the board pretty well at this point but I've never understood the 'fx 1 return can be sent to groups 1&2 with the push of a button'. What am I missing? There are no controls for it. Just send to the group? What would be a practical application for this...

    Tascam DA-88 Inputs. Unbalanced vs Balanced

    I have a board with unbalanced tape outs that I send to DA-88s. I use a D-sub snake to send signals. The D-Sub is a balanced input. There are also RCA inputs on the 88s which I'm guessing are unbalanced. Would I be better off going into the RCAs and skipping a conversion process...

    Anyone in the Long Island/NYC/Southern New England area to hire for MOD To Topaz???

    I know this is a long-shot, but it's worth a try. I'd love to upgrade my ol' Sountracs Topaz 24 before I get deep into much mixing in the next few months. Specifically the -10/+4 upgrade and I'd love to make AUX1 a post fade send. ANYONE?? I pay cash. I will deliver and pick-up. LI, CT...

    Lexicon PCM90 or TC M2000 for rock vocals?

    I have a chance to pick up either of these today for basically the same price. Both will be un upgrade for me, but I haven't used either. Is there a prevailing opinion on whether or not one of these is better for male rock vocals? Essentially, I'm looking to get myself a dedicated vocal...

    Seating and processing of harmony and gang vocals behind main during chorus parts....

    How does everyone approach this subject? I have a song that a couple members have been discussing with me before I do a complete re-mix and this is an area I feel I could improve. In the chorus there is the main vocal, a harmony vocal, and a gang vocal on a 3rd track. I'd like to get that...

    The electronic drums conundrum

    Hey everyone. My first batch of original music is ready to see the light of day, but I'm having a hard time reconciling one problem.......... the drums are electronic, but the performance is so solid I don't want to replace them. Everything else is done. I sent one song out to master with the...

    FOR TRADE: Steinberg UR824 MOTU 2408mkII TC Helicon Voiceworks

    Hello everyone. I am new here, though I have been lurking and reading the plethora of threads for years now. I have a few pieces of gear I'd like to trade simply because I've found I enjoy my Sountracs Topaz more than working in the box. I guess I'm just more of a touch the knobs kind of...
