Re: Any "affordable" monitors with good low end?
thanks for the replies everyone. i worked on the mackies once and wasn't too psyched about them, but maybe i'll give them another listen. the NHTs look interesting as well. you guys who said a sub is more trouble than it's worth, i think i agree. mainly because i'm too lazy and/or clueless to set it...

Re: Any "affordable" monitors with good low end?
jeff- yeah the tuned reference Events looked interesting, they're pretty low dough aren't they? 500 bucks or something? i think the 20/20s are fine for the price, i'm just really burnt out on them. they sound ok at low volumes, but the high end gets painful when i have it loud. did you find the TR8 ...

Any "affordable" monitors with good low end?
Hi y'all, So i've been mixing on event 20/20s for a couple years now. i certainly don't love them, but i'm used to them and can deal. except for the low end. i feel like i constantly get burnt on the 40-60hz region, even though i know to be conservative with that area. it's like a couple db too much...

Re: Loveless is quiet...and loud
jason, hey, you're talkin about me! i'd be interested to see how it looks on the computer. i betcha it's only peaking at like -3...-4 or so. if you have time to check it out that'd be cool. i don't know anything about the mastering, although it's always seemed to me like it was a pretty quickie mast...

Re: Strangest Studio Techniques U Ever Used?
worth mentioning also, is how LOUD that record is. dave and relative volume-wise, loveless and at action park are amongst the quietest cds i own. actually all the shellac records are quiet. and they sound so good when you crank 'em. would be nice if having the quietest record became the new cool th...

well put.soundguy wrote:I think in the big picture, to make a record like loveless, you more or less have to be born with the intention of doing so, I dont think people learn to have style like that.

Re: AKG mics
Even the C12VR, yuck, what a boxy sounding mic. dave well now, dave, you shouldn't expect so much from a $5,000 mic :P i got to check one out and was really disappointed. it was all low mid "flubba". i didn't like the new 414uls either. i do, however, swear by my c33e for overheads. anybody know th...

Re: Huge, incredible sounding records.
'sweet tea' is filthy ! i had the same response as you. i don't think there's a mic within a couple feet of anything on that record... i didn't even know tchad blake did a sheryl crow record :shock: but all the soul coughing stuff he did is pretty huge sounding IMO. especially the last one, el oso. ...

Re: wicked farleys' "sentinel and enterprise"
yer not kidding! i'm still not sure how the drummer DOES that...wheaties maybe? -paul m. i play with him in The Ivory Coast (our singer, jay, was the one who told you "they're REALLY STONED"...). he's a badass. there's been plenty of times at practice when he'll just do something and i'll be lookin...

Re: Strangest Studio Techniques U Ever Used?
markpar, thanks! somebody else mentioned the Sundays thing too. i don't really know them so i'll take yr word for it :D there's no backwards stuff on that song. it's the snare track thru an old mxr limiter pedal. that's all it does, but it does that well! should be a review in the next issue. anyway...

Re: Strangest Studio Techniques U Ever Used?
Hi y'all, i'm killing time at the day job, so please excuse my long-windedness. I was helping my friends the Common Cold with the recording of their latest, "Bleep Bleep Bloop". I had them all go out in the room and make something up while i started and stopped the 16 track at random. I would record...

Re: wicked farleys' "sentinel and enterprise"
mr ark, a great record! i THINK, but could be 100% wrong, that it was tracked to tape and then dumped to protools and mixed there. certainly it was tracked to tape, it's the protools part i'm unsure about, but i seem to remember talk of that. not that that has anything to do with the unique drum sou...
