Re: SATA drives- which one?

Agreed......my final solution ended up being the purchase of a Caviar black drive. Works like a dream in comparison.

Re: Problem with stereo guitar part?

This has happened to me too and couldn't figure it out.

It got to the point where I had to re-record the guitars.

Re: Parallel Compression Routing and advice

You can also strip the low end and boost the high, then compress like crazy to add a long shimmer after each cymbal hit. Mix to taste.

Re: Parallel Compression Routing and advice

I route all my drums tracks to a 'Clean' or unprocessed Drum buss.

I also have a send on each drum channel going to a Aux channel with compression running.

Then mixing the two together to...

Re: What is a Pre-Amp

I agree with this totally. I thought my profire had good preamps, and they do for starting out. But once I forked out some cash....as already mentioned, around the 1K mark I noticed a significant...

Re: Need Nomad Free Bundle

From my experience....pretty much any other plugin will sound better than the Nomad stuff.

But then again I guess I haven't really spent much time in trying to get the sound I wanted.

Re: Slate Trigger sample explanation please!

From my reckoning I think these only have compression and eq processing done to them only. I can't hear any reverb. Generally speaking mixing in the room mics used to record each sample adds a bit...

Re: Assuring your drum mics are in phase?

What do you mean by phase align them as opposed to ensuring they are in phase? Sorry if thats a dumb question.....but you never know if you don't ask.

Assuring your drum mics are in phase?

So....how do you do it?

Generally speaking I leave my mics on top of drums in the positive phase, and anything underneath or behind the drum is in negative so I flip it. This would mean that the...

Re: What is the best backing track worklfow?

I have an Axiom Pro49 which I try and do this for. But I end up spending more time fixing my mistakes than doing anything else.

Re: Snare micing....How do you do it?

I often find mucking around with the phase non different things helps a lot. Quite often my tom mics in relation to my overheads determines what phase my overheads are at.

Re: slate digital drum replacement

Toms work well. I often find myself replacing toms entirely if there is too much bleed etc. Never done overheads, and not sure I would. To me the life of live drums comes from your overheads.

Re: Fast Track to Profire.....upgrade?

You can use the profire mixer/router, by changing your input channel to "mixer out" to have zero latency. You then mute your record enable tracks in PT.

Re: slate digital drum replacement

I use it, and it works very well. I previously used drumagogg, but found the slate stuff to be better in terms of phase alignment and features.
