Yes I agree about compressing on the way in. I have been using my distressor for 20+ years and never had somone tell me there was too much compression on the vocals. However before the distressor I used a dbx 161 and I had to be more carful with it.

Ok thanks I will try this today. Glenn

This is it.

It is an older m300?

Hey gents, I got a Lexicon M300 a few days ago. It has the 1.2 software which is an early version. It sounds pretty good on vocals,drums so far. Does anyone know how I could reset this unit back to the factory settings? It has some funny named patches like " salad plate, Thin plate which I think...

That,s a pretty nice machine. I have owned ATR 2 , 16 and 24 track. The 2 and 16 where atr the 24 track maybe was the model up. That machine is more solid than a tascam trs8 or a fostex 8 track. If the caps are starting to go bad in the channels and else where it gets very expensive. It,s always...

Yes I am using a digi 192.

Hey gents, I should know better, but don,t. Being in my late 50,s My reflexes are still pretty good when the doc hits me with his little hammer. But Playing Bass I always play on the back side and usually like it better after nudging about 20-50 ms to the left. I have an old version of pro tools...

It,s all how you handle having someone over. If they are there and sign off on it then yes it,s only half your fault if you are running the mixes? It,s all his fault if he is the dominate one there. If a client was having me put too much reverb on the vocals or anything I did not like I would...

The question is a bit general? Which Lexicon box? I will tell you my thoughts. I have been using pro tools since 2000 and have used d verb and Eventide reverb once in a while. Usually mix with a pcm 70 hooked to my mixes. Once in a while I will use a pcm 80 or 90 or a Roland 880, v verb,roland...

I must be getting old. I got one for $20 used. It sounds fat to me. I have recorded about 130 albums using a U87 but recently I have been having a good time buying all kinds of cheap stuff. Most all of it sounds good. I think I am loosing it.

I like the 3630 compressor it has that suckey type sound I like on some things. Some people love the Drawmer 1960 compressor. Some think it sounds like running your sound through a sponge.

One trick is to put on some good headphones and move the mic around listening thru the headphones for the sweet spots. I like using my 414 for acc. Usually between the whole and neck 3-5" away. However aiming the 414 down and put it right over the acc 1-3". It would be about right under the...

I used a DBX 161 and a Orban 424 in the 80,s thru 95. Got a Distressor and use it 4:1 a= 4 r=4 last about 3-8 db of compressing while tracking and using a focusrite red plug in 4:1 about 1-6 dbs during mix if needed. If a word or section is low or high I will shade the track in pro tools and...

You are right. 15 years ago I had a gml 8200 and a vari mu and learned it was all about getting it right during the mix. I do have ok plug ins,but limit their use do to my theory of fixing most everything in the mix. Today I am semi retired do to health issues and don,t have budgets to get to...

I saw your web site. Wow! Also it looks like you have done a lot of good work with some artist,s I have been listening to the last few years. GT

I have heard it would cost too much to design a new recorder. Just like the recording and music industry there was a point in time when studios did ok and rock stars got rich. The machines,tape,money,are all going away.

What do you really think? Tell it to us straight. Please don,t hold back. What,s the word on the street? Maybe it,s not the worst compressor ever,but you are such great engineer with good ears that it,s not good enough for you. I am serious I love it,but I am not on your level.:eek::eek::eek:

So there are few new hardware boxes to mix to. Instead people are using good convertors and using plug ins later.

I wonder if you would get the same fat sound by using one of those mic surrounds. Don,t know what you call them ,but they just fit on a stand and kill out the sound of any room.
