This trick is oftentimes referred to as "poor man's (scene) automation." I do it sometimes using my TASCAM MX-2424 recorder. The cool thing about the MX-2424 is that it can play back all 24 tracks (with edits, fades, overlapping audio... which means the drive can access up to 72 tracks worth of play...

I have a rack full of Distressors and FATSOs, and I also have two LA-3A reissues. These get used on every tracking session, and I pretty much consider them "standard." My not so "standard" compressors are: API 2500 buss compressor. Holy schmoly, this thing sounds sick! And you don't have to set it a...

I don't know what its called but they make stuff to isolate boat engine noise that might work..I know people use that stuff and its cheaper..or something I can't remember exactly what the deal is with that stuff.. In clear? I seriously doubt it. Here's a manu of (opaque) material for damping engine...

Before Al Gore invented the internet, they had this invention called the phone. I hear that if you can find one of these ancient devices somewhere, you can actually use it to contact AEA, and that they'll even let you buy one of those mysterious mic positioners right there over the phone! Seriously ...

I use a Toshiba R100 laptop. It's literally HALF the weight of the lightest Mac... and even when I attach the 7-hour battery to it, it's still almost two pounds lighter than the lightest Mac. It's the lightest laptop you can buy with a full-size keyboard (and the keyboard actually feels good). And f...

If you use a properly wired cable, the M160, like most modern ribbon mics, will not be damaged by phantom power.

At 44.1 kHz Fs, 1 sample = .00002676 sec = 0.02676 ms. I think Jeff is recommending that you vary your delay by 1 sample at a time (at 44.1 kHz). Plenty of delays (software and hardware) allow you to delay by 1 sample at a time.

the Mackie's have something similar, i.e. a switch for "whole space" "half space" and "quarter space", depending on where they're set relative to the back and sides of the listening space. That's a woofer level control to compensate for open, against-wall, and corner placement, and it doesn't affec...

Anyway, after working on the V88's at Studio G and getting over the ridiculously aggresive top end, I found a pair for sale in Philly last weekend and now they're trying to push the mackies off the console... So the story ends well. There's a big fat clue right there. Placing nearfields on top of a...
