I didn't know that!! I just checked it and you are right, thanks. Ok so if i understand this correctly it means analog/digital input can clip, digital/analog output can clip...but any digital-only processing within my DAW won't clip?

Actually i work with 24 bit audio..... ?

Don't know if it's been discussed but mono mixes can be a creative choice. I knew a few guys who would only mix their songs in mono, because of how it sounds. Well, obviously it's very rare nowadays, but mono has it's fans.

I think it's a matter of taste, both do the same thing in the end i think?

Actually i only use a gain plugin at the end of the signal chain for each track. So the faders stay at unity and then i can build upon that. What i meant is, between each plugin within a track, i use a metering plugin to check the levels and tweak the plugin output accordingly so i maintain the...

Indeed i like the result, but maybe there's a better mix to make, at least in the technical sense? Regarding "Bad frequencies" i meant unused freq like some low-end and even high end. I removed a few overtones here and there that i was not fond of but i did that lightly. In general when it comes...

13 tracks. Yes i could use the faders but then if i lower them too much it's less precise to handle IMO. Ok i get it, all these db cumulates....does it mean it's normal and i'm making up problems that aren't there? The mix sounds fine tonmy ears, it's just the metering that makes me doubt about...

Well, the compression seems ok, nothing that peaks too much. Actually i didn't use a limiter, i'd rather leave that for the mastering stage. But i've put a bit of compression on the main bus, slightly. Well it sounds ok to my ear, if i had to judge without looking at all the waves and meters and...

Well it sounds normal to my ears at least. I understand that the frequencies will be cumulative but i didn't expect it to clip so easily with 6db of headroom on each track. I knew i would have to i remove a few dB here and there, but 8/10db on each track sounds like a lot, so maybe i messes up...

I'm trying proper gain staging to mixed result...i'll explain : i was careful that each track in my DAW would not reach past -6dbfs for true peaks (and around -20/-18dbs RMS). I did this before and after each plugin added to a track (comp, EQ, reverb, tape emulator etc...). Having managed that i...

Was it the sonic character of the revox you didnt like? Too lo-fi? Or just that it didnt add anything special to your recording (but hiss!)? Just asking coz we all have different views on sound coloration. For info i have made a whole album on a tascam cassette recorder, a few years ago. And i...

Hi guys, first of all, happy new year! After years of mixing in the box i thought it would be nice to equip my modest homestudio with some analog hardware. Nothing too expensive since i just can't afford high end gear, everything i buy have to be 400/500euros maximum (second hand price) and most...

Thanks! For info, what is usually the range of a brand new mid-priced drum kit (not second hand)?

Friend of a friend...i never met the guy haha. And i appreciate getting feedback from people all around this crazy world on this kind of forums and have a chat...oh nerdy me ;-)

Ok, thanks for the correction. If it brings latency then it doesnt sound very workable....in your case it was both playing and recording tracks, on 2 apps, right? Do you think "only" recording via one app would bring latency too?

First of all i'm not a drummer, not really, i own a small place where i have all my musical gear and some friend of a friend left a whole drum set (mapex v series) here 5 years ago ...so basically i've been playing a bit of drums these past years, mainly goofing around, occasionally recording...

Thanks! Another poster told me it puts too much strain on the mac cpu -because it has to manage 2 devices at once- can you confirm that? Or do you have a more positive experience?

ah ok thanks, i see...too much strain on the CPU. so it might not be a good idea after all... Did anyone else try it and have the same problems?

What do you mean by "has some overhead"? Sorry, english is not my 1st language. You mean it's expensive? Why would it be?

thanks for your reply! ok so everything should work fine haha. As for the 2nd SSL2 it's just that i could get it real real cheap (around 100/140euros). But yes i'm still hesitating and I understand your point of view! But this aggregate stuff is intriguing, i'd really like to know how it works...
