Re: Import AAF from Final Cut via Logic or Resolve?

I work with an who uses Final Cut. We’ve tried just about everything. There’s an app called X2Pro that will take the Final Cut xml file & create a proper AAF. It was the only option we found that...

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...

I do like the PA plugins. The ones I find on all my mixes are:

Lindell 50 (API channel strip)
SPL Iron
SPL Passeq
Mäag EQ4
Purple Audio MC77

I also really like McDSP’s 6060. I use that on a...

Re: Optimal Sample Rate?

I always track at the final sample rate (44.1kHz for CD projects, 48kHz for broadcast projects, and have once even been asked to do 96kHz for a DVD only release), but always at 24-bits. SRCs have...

Re: Recording mandolin...

I once got a great sound on a mandolin using an AT4050. It was back about a foot or so and a bit higher than the mando aimed slightly down (just a bit). It was a soft and melodic part behind acoustic...

Re: eeking extra CPU (OSX)

You can also "renice" protools to take priority over all other processes. ProTools must be running for this to work & it is necessry to do these each time you launch protools.

You need to get the...

Re: Let me hear what you think.

I like to use 2 mics up close on the amp. I tend to use a SM57 and a KM184. I put them on the same stand with the capsules aligned. That way I get the traditional dynamic "57" sound and can mix in...

Re: CPU Issues w/ PowerBook G4 & ProTools Digi 002r

What kind of external drive? Is it 7200 RPM? Does it use the Oxford 911 bridge/chipset? The unfortunate truth is that FireWire taxes the CPU more than other device protocols (e.q. ATA/IDE, SCSI)....

Re: Internal PB drive too slow

In general all laptop (2.5") drives are being made in only the slower speeds (4200 & 5400 RPM), so a new internal may help a bit, but isn't your answer. If you are willing to spend money on anew...

Re: ? mark at start up with G3 and AMIII

If this began happening just after installing the AMIII card, then you have your answer - remove the card & see if it will boot.

If that's not it, There could simply be directory damage to the...

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: Placing dialog far off in distance

Keep in mind that we percieve distance through high-end content. The farther away a sound is, the less high-end actually gets to us. So, while you will want a realistic ambience, you will need to...

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.

Re: which eq plugs are you using during tracking?

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...

Re: OT Compression

A compressor works at a ratio to lower the output of a sound source above a certain threshold. Once the threshold is reached the ratio is engaged. So, a...

Re: which eq plugs are you using during tracking?

I'll use the EQ & comp on my mic preamps quite frequently while tracking, but never the plugs. I find it helps later when mixing. The EQ plugs are usbale for fixing problems, but certainly don't...

Re: Best version of PT to run with an 001?

I have PT 6.4 with OS 10.3.3 running on my QS867 with the 001. Very nice - no problems at all. I finally have forgotten about OS9/PT5.

I had some stability issues with 6.0 & 6.1 - but have been...

Re: 002R preamps, Rode NTK, Event Monitors?

The 002r is better than the 001 by a fair amount. Don't fret the obsolescence thing. Even the 828s will be obsolete in a few years. Get what you need to do the job. I set up a studio for a friend...

Re: Adding gear to the 001: external clock or DAC?

The Rosetta 800 is 8 in 8 out.

The 002r is only a bit better than the 001. The Apogee stuff is (as I said) equal to the sonics of an HD system. That is much better than the 002r. It's not even...
