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...

Logic Pro X comes with Delay Designer. It can do all that and more. https://support.apple.com/guide/logicpro/delay-designer-overview-lgcef18b8dc5/mac Holy shit, thank you for this! I thought I had gone through all the Apple standard plugins but I totally missed this one. Playing around with it now,...

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...

Re: How Do I Test A D.I. Box?
Does it pass any signal normally?
If it does not, can you send a 1kHz sine wave through it, via your DAW?
A multimeter will not tell you much if you don't open the DI box up, and start tracing the signal path.

Re: Tracking bands without a console is a PITA!
If you are willing to risk it, you can build a decent Digidesign Pro Tools TDM Accel system for about a grand to 2 grand, depending on how much hardware you want to get. You can get them for a song these days. If they are in good shape, you can keep them running for years more. The Digidesign 192s w...

Re: Tracking bands without a console is a PITA!
I still have my console LOL. That said, I use Focusrite RedNet 2 interfaces, which have a roundtrip latency to / from my laptop of only 4 mS. Good enough for most musicians. If that is too much latency, I still have my Digidesign Pro Tools HD10 with those 192 interfaces, which gets me sub 1mS laten...

Re: Saturation Tools and Tricks
For some mono sources, I still like to use guitar pedals like a Boss Blues Driver. As to plug ins for saturation, well, TOMB saying "it all depends." I've been using the Plugin Alliance's Neve channel strip as a "front end" of sorts for Nuendo. Where you can have plugins affect the incoming signal o...
