Hey folks, Stupid Mix trick = a mix technique or other tool that is completely useless and will sound horrid except for in 1/10,000 mixes. However, for that one mix, the trick was perfect, and the most devastatingly important decision in the mix process. I thought it might be fun if we shared...

Hello all, I'm working on a history paper and was wondering if anyone here knew the specifics of how, exactly, Les Paul's modified Ampex 200 worked. Did the additional record head allow for recording parallel tracks, or was one take placed onto the other, with the absence of an erase head. If...

A few weeks ago several of use were discussing the Auto Delay Compensation available in HD, not available in LE, and if it made a difference. ( I still hold fast that yes it does) Yet for those who care, I found this plug in... http://www.mellowmuse.com/ATA.html An automatic time adjuster...

I was wondering what ways there are to check and confirm if a dither plugin was working as it should be. I'm using waveburner loaded with 24/44.1 files and the waves IDR dither on the master plugins plane. I've got a demo pf spectrafoo for the next few days but unfortunately there is not an OSX...

Has anyone here ever run an HD rig for live recording? What issues have you had? Do you find it stable enough for one shot concerts with a track count of 32 or higher? What was your back up and how did you implement the system?

Hi All, I've got to give a presentation about a strange or unusual application for a DAW. I have ProTools so I started this thread here, however, the project is not limited to PT. I am looking for suggestions. Maybe you ran across something in your own projects that is cool and unusual that you...

I was wondering if anyone here could recommend an external hard drive for use with cross platform pro tools systems. I mean, I will be going back and forth between Mac based HD and LE systems (the office) and windows M-powered systems (home). I'm sure ill have to use MAC DRIVE and format HSF, I...

Hey folks, I'm about to make a live recording of a musical and at the same time will be mixing live. I'm using a Yamaha LS9-32 outfitted with 2 MY16AT expansion cards adding 32 channels of I/O. I will patch the additional outputs to the direct outputs of each channel thus outputting the...

Hey guys. I just got in some used spirit absolute 2 passives. (98bucks on ebay) I gotta say I dig them. Fairly solid lows (I can feel the kick) and the highs arnt harsh. I could listen to these for a long time without much pain. The box is well built. I have not heard the ysm1p's but im betting...

Does anyone know what alot, dare i say most, monitors are 2 way vs say 3way or even 4? The reason I bring this up is that i have been in that monitor vertigo for some time now. Price vs quality ect.ect.ect. And while looking for the perfect monitors I end up mixing on some Yamaha NS 60something...
