living in NJ right now, i have heard about the jobless meth using indie treenage crisis in portland. not sure how bad it really is, but i just loved the city when i was there and met so many nice people. if its not portland its omaha, which offers none of the beauty the nortwest has, but it also see...

Hey guys, been awhile since I've been on here but I thought this was a good place to ask some recording and music related questions. I post this in people skills because it has a lot of questions related to me..and people. Going to be moving out to either Omaha or Portland in the very near future, h...

just got these stems, what is going on with this drum track? is that some kind of compression thats widening the stereo image of the hihat on every first beat? also sounds like a weird slapbackish type echo on the first rimshot of almost every measure but not the second two. also kind of cool you ca...

while all this gadget talk is going on, lets play name that sample--from the video from the link in the first post... im going to play too, is that nina simone?? its starting to bug me because i feel like ive heard her say that ("who am I") in a song but I dont know which one.

thats the one ive got... im in love with some of the songs/parts, and some things im not too thrilled about either. i feel like some of the parts would make really cool samples

anybody listen to him on here?

interesting
i also see a 57 in this wilco video from the loft (not to mention an sm7 in the very beginning).. dont know if the 57 is just up for show for this live video but i would love to know more about those sky blue sky drum sounds.. maybe a 57 OH has something to do with it?

hm, even at the "+4" mark its still 5 db quieter but oh well. it just seemed from my recollection that every post i read about these things everyone was saying they ran the ADA turned down all the way when using external pres to avoid as much coloration as possible from the ADA pres. looking at the...

I just double checked the specs on this thing and I am even more confused.. apparently the line inputs are 20db quieter than the mic inputs...first of all why? you mean to tell me that everyone using this thing with external pres hasn't noticed this or is just somehow dealing with it? ive been resea...

haha! well it was either the new aphex 142, the alesis AI3, or the ADA. I could only find 1 person who's tried the new aphex unit, and so my decision was between a BLA modded AI3/ADA. the ADA worked out to be cheaper for apparently the same converters and the same analog stage upgrade, or at least a...

Been shifting around different XLR>TRS cables and tried two different lightpipe cables and that doesn't seem to be the fix. If gain adjustment is the solution, how do I go about doing this? I don't see anything about it in the manual.

First, the ADA8000 has CALIBRATABLE inputs and outputs. Have you calibrated it yet? You'll need a good quality small flat screwdriver for this task. And the manual, which will tell you the details on how to go about this. Use a 1kHz sine tone. Cheers I have not, I searched for that section of the m...

just picked up an ada8000, got it hooked up, but when plugging my great river and sytek preamps into this thing going XLR>TRS with the ada preamps at 0, there is a huge level drop compared to just plugging them into my 002r. my GR and syteks are peaking before the level is even remotely hot going th...
