PT LE 7.4 Instrument Track Routing Bonehead Question

on the hand erase tip, and sorta piggybacking on the 'rookie mistakes you did' thread - when i was starting out and first got my 16tk, i was spot erasing out the clicks on the head of the song. marked the downbeat of the song w/the grease pencil - then cleaned them out. played back and i cut off the...

Good grief!!! Triggers?!!?!? Hours and hours of editing?!? Just use a compressor. This situation is sort of exactly what they're commonly used for! The OP was on the right track to begin with. You don't have to go layering in samples or micro editing. Just dig in and learn how to use compressors. B...

also, don't confuse your reference levels (+6, +3, etc. which as tony mentioned are clearer to talk about in terms of nwb/m) with a reading on your VU meter while tracking. once set up, you still look at your meters the same. hard transients like percussion (generally) keep at a sane level (i hover ...

Re: hey
Why did you record the vocals through? Did you use any compression? They sound like they're singing 5 feet from the mike. Maybe it's what you were going for but even for indie stuff I like a more in-your-face vocal sound. i agree - there's a really good sense of space in there, but i find it distra...

Re: let's talk spring reverbs
So-ooo, I've got an old Fender tank reverb unit that I love the sound of.... So, how would you plumb it? Re-amp, right?? when mixing from a console: line out of console (I use an aux send) -> reamp in reamp spits out instrument level signal to Fender input Fender out -> any kind of preamp with a Hi...

let's talk spring reverbs
hey all- considering adding a real hardware spring reverb unit. i've got a couple patches on various multi-effects boxes, but something makes me think i could do better with the real deal. i did one session where a guitar player brought in a fender that sounded amazing - i put everything through it ...

i think i'm too late, but tell us about recording bastro - sing the troubled beast. how did you record the stuff at first congressional church on that session? how was the location recording done? i'm guessing you didn't move a 2" over there... was that sort of an afterthought to the main track, or ...

+1 on Siel. I have a Siel/Sequential Prelude which is pretty great sounding - though is having some drifting tuning problems now. I also have a Roland SH-101 which is super fun to dick with and create sounds, but no real recall ability. Sounds great though. Or the also not super sexy, but digitally ...

+1 for paul, he recently did a great sounding cut for me too. but i will say in your original MEs possible defense - there is some truth to there being a relationship between high end/level/distortion/radius on the cut. there will be more distortion on cymbals as you get closer to the center of the ...
