ART multiverb
This is a late post to the ART thread. I just got a multiverb II off ebay and am hoping that someone has a pdf manual, or at least post a quick setup tutorial so that I can maybe get this thing going. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
So I'm new to this thread and am just starting the recording stuff, although I've been playing for years. I'm interested in hearing what other people think so this is my setup.
LIVE RIG:
phonic 2443 16-track mixer
phonic pcl3200 dual compressor
art quadra/fx
digitech quad v2
RECORDER:
1.5 gig win2k box w/512mb and a removeable SATA hard drive rack
two terratec phase 88 cards M/S for 16 tracks in 96k x 32-bit
ProTracks 2.2 and Adobe Audition 1.5 (and I prefer Audition probably because I know how to use it better).
I made a short snake to take the channel inserts to
my phase 88 cards and this seems to work really well and leaves my tracks pre-fade. I'm thinking of making up a set that can go from the direct outs so I can choose post-fade if I want.
My last session was with a 3-piece blues/rock band, bass in direct, guitar amp was tight-mic'd, vocals through a typical shure sm56 (tried my studio condensor, but bleed was horrid). Nady sp3's on the snare and toms and bass, two nady cm88's and two of the band's akg condensors on the cymbals. I had a lot of trouble with bleed into the drum overheads and bleed from the drum kit into the other mic's so we partitioned the drummer behind a bunch of blankets on mic stands and this helped some. Short of building isolation booths, I'd love to hear other peoples solutions to this problem. After looking at my cm88's, I think I can make a little baffle from a pvc connector and a bit of felt that should screen of the side bleed but haven't had time yet. Anyway the tracks still came in very nice and I'm looking at a month or so of mixing.
Hope to hear back from some people and any help on the multiverb would be greatly appreciated.
