Re: Digidesign engineering\'s response to the HD "bass-lite" criticism is ....

I know I have nothing to add to this conversation but I'd just like to make 3 points:

1. Mixerman's original point can't be contested--he heard a difference. Nor has it yet been confirmed by...

Quicktime 5 kills OMS? (PTLE 5.0.1)

I've got a pretty stable setup on my G4 (OS 9.1) with PTLE 5.0.1 and Quicktime 4.1.2. Problem is, I can't open .mpeg files encoded with recent codecs. So I installed Quicktime 5.0. Sure enough,...

Re: Opinion On my Mixes

I second the comment about the guitars & bass masking the drums. Solo the drums and play around with compression & eq until you get a good thump from the kick and snap from the snare. Then add the...

Re: Help! recording vocals with 001

What's wrong with your vocals now? If you can tell us that, you're halfway there, and someone can point you in the right direction.

Re: setting record levels into ProTools with the intent of mixing in ProTools

To me, the question is, which is more noticeable, the noise introduced by the calculations taking place when the faders are lowered, or the noise floor of the original A/D conversion?

Re: DeEssing basics....someone please help me!!!!!

Basically, a de-esser uses a narrow frequency band (the band where the ess sound is loudest) to trigger a compressor.

To learn how to use it, maybe the easiest way is to play with an EQ plugin...

Re: Can I do this?

Should work fine, as long as you remember to start up the mac with pc exchange control panel and extensions on. It will mount on the mac as a PC drive.

Re: audioble clicks and ticks all the time !! SOS !!

Jaleo is right. By the same token, if you must make the edit at a specific point (regardless of the zero-crossings), you can fade each end of the section to zero. Make the fade very short.

Re: Vocal Distortion

the key to metallic, sharp distortion is the odd harmonics. Even harmonics give a more fat/smooth sound. (Clarinet: lots of even harmonics; trumpet: lots of odd harmonics.)

Usually a "metal"...

Re: Mini disc recorders for field recordings

Re: Fastest G4 a 733Mhz?

Even with a conservative estimate, the dual 533 will be as fast as the single 733 for many tasks under OS X. It might be a better idea down the road to get a dual, assuming Digi will support OS X.

Re: Mini disc recorders for field recordings

Re: no more inarticulate bass

From my (limited) experience, when boosting the mids on a bass track, you have to duck other things out of the way (prob. the guitars will need a mid cut). If there's not enough high end on the...

Re: 16 bit or 24 bit Recording?

24-bit sounds much better. It doesn't really make sense to talk about headroom in digital - 0 db is always 0 db. What you get is a better signal to noise ratio (floor room?) and a finer...
