Just thought I'd give the one or two other people who uses that combo, and hey, maybe it'll change a few minds :confused:

Currently I've been using an analyzer to work with the mixes, and get everything pretty balanced out. I'm talking about on the 33x band Spectrum analyser, not that Gnomemeter or whatever that makes cool shapes with my songs. Is this a wise idea? I understand the concept behind do what sounds...

Him (Trent Reznor) released the master tracks for free (after stems and stuff, can't have everything) for two songs, The Hand That Feeds and Only. I use logic, so I could import the The Hand That Feeds. I spent about 6-7 hours on it, an I'm amazed. It sounds NOTHING like Nails, but almost...

I don't know if anyone has one, but what are the purpose of the two screws and why are you supposed to remove them on the sides before use? I tested it with them in, I didn't even notice the little tiny warning labels on them. I can't even comprehend why BLUE would have them there, unless it's...

Ok, here's the deal. I did this song in Logic Pro on a Macbook with a Firebox as an interface, as a temp solution. Link is www.homepage.mac.com/ordinarytrauma , and it's Episode Page One. I brought it over to my PC DAW for "mastering", and I personally thought I did a good job. Now, the...

Just wanna see if anyone else is doing the RIT program or has in the past. I'm doing it for connections, as I'm already confident in my mixing/recording/cooking skills. And yes, I know, I'm not going to get any real connections out there, I just wanna pretend, like I'm a famous rock star or...

I don't know if anyone else who uses Logic knows it, but the Apple Logic forum is amazing. I know we're not supposed to spam shit here, but Logic is so esoteric in the home recording world I don't think anyone will mind. And if you do, fuck off :D I had a Q that was pretty much ruining my...

V4 doesn't need the iLok, but 5.x does, minus a few plugs or seomthing? I know a few of you use waves, and I'm moving up to a v5 bundle cos the older stuff just doesnt sound as good. I got the iLok anyways, but I'm a little confused by th way it works. Must be those upgrated tubes in my...

I sure as hell aint sarmt anymore. www.homepage.mac.com/ordinarytrauma Note: I am drunk.

Hey all, I finally decided to add a mac system running Logic (I got Pro, with edu. discount it was only 500) to my current DAW, which is a WinXP PC running 32 channels into Nuendo. As I'm new to the whole Mac thing, anyone have any suggestions for getting things to run smoothly? I'm so used to...

Hey all! Leaving The Oasis This is a repost of a song some people critiqued a long time ago, and I finally fixed the things that were wrong (I hope!). I'm posting this again because I feel my mixing has greatly improved over the past 6 months and would like to hear where I can improve. For...

I tooled around with the Variax in my studio last night and came up with this. It's your typical 70's acoustic "variax demo". Not a complete song by any means, but it shows off what the variax can do. SONG IS HERE: Variax01 I've never found something as easy to record as this. This would...

I went to Guitar Center (shudder) today, traded in a synthesizer, and picked up a black Variax 300 Electric. I was sort of skeptical, having played the 500 and thinking it was kind of a novelty. Now that I've used it in my studio, I have to say it's AMAZING! It's not that often that I have fun...

Hi all! I've spent some time lurking, but never posted because I didn't have any finished mixes. I finally got one one of my band, and would be interested to hear what others have to say. I tried to get as balanced a level as I could, and spent a fair amount of time using a spectrum...

Every day, I visit this site. And every day, I see 800 new posts where people have money to spend and want to know what to get next. And then another 800 posts on which cheap gear is good. Well, I'm going to explain all the things I know about these two topics, so hopefully people will stop...

For the last few years, I've been using a pretty poor set of monitor speakers. All of my other equipment is pretty good (RME 9652, Soundcraft Digital 328 mixer, good PC, tons of guitars, etc.), so it's been the only thing that's been holding back my mixes. I can't really describe how...

I see this topic come up every once in a while, and since I just got a new set for christmas, I'll indulge you on getting a good sound out of them. Now, the most IMPORTANT thing is that the performer knows how to play. I've seen so many people just hit the drums with their hands, fingers...

Let me start this off with a statement: I hate tracking. Hate it with a passion. I can get the sounds I want, but to be honest, there are people who are much more dedicated than I to setting up mics, plugging things in, and pressing the red button. I do it all the time, but I don't think...

This is my first post here, so I might as well introduce myself. My name is Ben, and I own a small small studio. I've been into the world of recording since I was 14 (I'm older now, I guarantee), and I've been visiting this board for a few years. Now, onto business. I am using a Soundcraft...
