Compression BEFORE or AFTER ???

I am somewhat new to recording and in particular about compression and how to use it properly to get the sounds I want. My question is. What is the difference if I do not print compression on a drum or bass track as opposed to doing that later when I could use someone elses higher end compressor and...

Please explain. Icould play the beat on a counter top correctly and that will trigger the snare hits so t...

Re: Recommend some mics for recording Acoustic guitar...

Neumann KM-84 (first introduced in 1966) I know they reissued them as the KM-184 and I do not know how they compare to the KM-84. I have a matched pair of KM-84's and they are GREAT on acoustic guitar (they seem to get EVERYTHING) from hi's to low's and everything in-between. You can put it up in fr...

Drum Fix PROGRAM - Protools??

I know I just saw a post on this the last week or so but as many have mentioned before the search engine on this site does not really let you narrow things down, so I could not find it again. Anyway..... I am not the best drummer and I am tracking a song that has long drum roll parts and I can't kee...

Re: ad/da converters (8)

Thanks for the other options. Here is another question for you guys. Digi 001 has 8 converters and I need to get 8 more. Assuming the new 8 I get are better than the converters in Digi 001.... Will I hear a difference between the 8 tracks going trough Digi and the 8 that will go through a better box...

Re: ad/da converters (8)

This might be a dumb question but......... Will I really hear a difference if I pay $1000 for "better" ad/da converters ??? I just don't really get how one box can sound that much better when we are talking ad/da converters . But like I said before I don't know anything about them. i don't know what...

Re: ad/da converters (8)

That is a good question. I am also looking for the same thing and have come across a Behringer ADA8000 (as reviewed in the newest TapeOp mag). It is about $200 and will work with your digi 001. Now as far as how good it sounds - I have no idea. I did not get one yet but I am thinking about it. I don...

CEILING TREATMENT IDEA

I have been reading a lot about small rooms and how to "treat" them. And I have an idea I want to try out on the small box-like room I will be tracking drums in but I do not want to go through all the trouble if my idea will do nothing in making the room sound better (whatever that really means).......

Re: Clearchannel drops Stern

Hey Dave.

Do you have satellite radio?

I got it (in my car) and I love it and I couldn't agree with you more that it will be the way most people listen to radio in the future. But maybe that should be a new thread.
