Re: Mono Auratone - who knew??

Yep, it's actually a very old studio trick going back to the heady days of Radio dominance, the 1970s. I still have a pair here somewhere, but am not sure if they work anymore. I am enjoying my CLA-10a's too much to go looking for the Auratones LOL.

Re: Logic Pro 11 announced - Free upgrade for current users

There seems to be no date set, and I already have the "latest" version they have, which is 10.8.1. Gotta love Apple's mysterious ways... But wait! I found the press release: May 13th is the release date. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2024/05/logic-pro-takes-music-making-to-the-next-level-with-new-a...

Re: Signals confusion

Hello everyone, If an active instrument outputs a line level signal, wouldn’t this be compromised going into the front of an amp as the amp is expecting to see an instrument level? And if not, then plugging a synth or a mixing board straight would be acceptable? Isn’t re-amping necessary to convert...

Re: LDC issue in Fig.8 & Omni (but fine in Cardioid)

It's one of two issues:

1. There is a bad capacitor in the circuit section regarding the backplane diaphragm.

2. The backplane diaphragm has gone bad.

Either way, I recommend you have it serviced by the company.

Re: Channel Strip Plugins

Are most of you using these channel strips towards the "beginning" of your plug in chains or afterwards? When recording, I've been using the Lindell 50 (Neve 1073) strip. On the 32 input busses, so their processing gets recorded. Nuendo has this cool feature where it has input busses where you can ...

Re: The Pro Jr.

I'm a big fan of leaving things alone. That said, questions: What is it that you don't like about the Pro Jr., that cannot be sorted out by another amplifier you already own? Is there something definitely missing from it's sound? And can you definitely make that aspect better by modding? I have a go...

Re: I'm not a piano technician

So I've always heard about the idea of "stretch tuning," which I understand to be something along the line of, "once you make it out of the middle, ignore the tuner and train/ trust your ears, as harmonic truth and perfect equal temperament are both false trails." True? Or have I misunderstood? htt...

Re: Mixing with Hardware - Hybrid

For me, if a multi track is too clean sounding, I'll end up mixing OTB / ITB. I recently got a second Focusrite Rednet2, so I can now put all 32 channels of my Allen & Heath GL2800 used in mixing. I used to have to make stems in the DAW down to 16 channels, which worked fine, now for most stuff I wi...

Re: Tracking bands without a console is a PITA!

Oh that’s interesting. I was reading that going Ethernet into the PC and having to the virtual sound card negates some of the benefits of Dante as opppses to using a PCIe card. So that hasn’t been your experience? I can get 4 mS roundtrip latency, of course without putting any plugins in the signal...

Re: Tracking bands without a console is a PITA!

Are you using PCIe cards with your Rednet, I assume? With my Mac that’s not currently option. Although there is an RME Dante that is USB apparently. Nope, just ethernet. I do have a switch, a Netgear ProSAFE G5116E which is a 1GB switch. Everything goes through that seamlessly. It was one of Audina...

Re: 1073's... Real deal or one of the many clones?

If you are going for the sound of records made when the 1073 etc. were NEW, then get NEW 1073s.

If you are going to wax nostalgic about "vintage" stuff, then get a vintage one.

Re: Tracking bands without a console is a PITA!

So I probably just need a better interface. I recommend anything with DANTE protocol. Not exactly cheap, but really great, and you can connect it to nearly anything as long as it has an ethernet port. I absolutely love my Focusrite RedNet 2s (I just bought a second one). 32 channels of input and ou...
