Re: Track Fader Position and Coloration
In the days of analogue, faders had the best SNR at unity. But that is hardly relevant in a DAW.
The other aspect is that faders are logarithmic, which means they have finer control closer to...

Re: Let me hear what you think.

Re: Internal PB drive too slow

Re: another classical guitar recording question
yes, a pair of 4023s would be the same (the 4023, 4021 are the miniature versions of the 4011). In any event those are wondeful mics for classical guitar. Just be sure to leave some room for the...

Re: which eq plugs are you using during tracking?
I'm talking about EQs on outboard pres (I thought I made that pretty clear). As I've said, the plugs just don't sound good for that kind of work, at least to my ears.

Sometimes you can't avoid EQing during tracking..usually to roll off low end to minimize room noise or boominess et al (like when a singer just can't stop eating the ^&#$@*! mic). Sometimes to boost...

The Rosetta 800 is 8 in 8 out.
