I start mixes as often as possible on a mono auratone. By starting I mean getting the faders up and setting the relative levels. I don't get into EQ or any of the fine details but as i do much of the broad strokes as possible on the auratone. Which begs the question, did you do the tracking on more...

Starting mixing on a mono auratone changed my mixing life. I work so much faster and better because of it. Do you guys start the mix on the auratones? So far I’ve just been popping in and out to check things but the next track I do from scratch o think I’m gonna start there as an experiment and jus...

Thanks for all the great info everybody. I'm mainly looking for clean headroom and decent bass response without the amp or speaker getting farty sounding in the lows. I'm going to live with it stock for now but it sounds like swapping tubes and maybe the speaker may be all that's needed (if anything...

The "bottom of the snare" thread inflamed my gear lust and after playing a back line pro jr at a gig yesterday I went out and got my own today. Some questions for all you Pro Jr people - What changed in the different models? Mine is a 3. I believe the new ones are 4. There was some talk in the other...

I did a session a bunch of years ago where the singer used the TC Helicon for "backing vocal" parts. I couldn't convince him to just sing the harmony or he couldn't, I don't know. Anyway, in the end I rigged up a second mic to feed the pedal so I could have the clean vocal and harmony on their own c...

I reca roscoenyc as a long-time proponent of The Pro,Jr., using them ( a pair, I think?) on stage with Earle. I think his might have been goosed, as, I believe, were Jeff Beck's. Lovely amp, awesome pedal platform but good sounding on it's own when ya want that just-at-breakup sound, it's perhaps l...

I remember Chris Shaw mentioning a plugin that allows you to check to see if tracks are really stereo. You might search for that. Any phase meter plug will show you. I use stereo tool when I get a mix that's all stereo tracks. Sometimes looking at the waveform makes it obvious sometimes not. That's...

A really short stereo delay can help (along the lines of the ableton haas delays you mentioned). I generally use different times on each side and usually set the ms rate in the teens or twenties. A good small room reverb can also be a big help. I have a few roll your own IRs that I use on acoustic i...

Picked up a line 6 DL4 and a Maestro Discover Delay for use with my ambient improv band. Both are tons of fun. The Maestro in particular sounds dirty and fantastic.

Thanks all! I had briefly debated trying to rig something with an altec 1588 octal mic preamp can. It seems like a lot of work though. I am running a jam man at the end of my chain. Thanks for reminding me that it has mic in! I would like to have access to all the pedals before it with a mic though....

I've started performing live drone and loop based ambient music. I'm playing guitar through a bunch of pedals and loopers (including a uher report L running tape loops) and want to add the option using my voice in the same chain. I'm trying to track down a mic pre in a pedal format that will run off...

If you have the option to leave things set up then doing full songs from start to finish is a great way to work but setting up and tearing down each session is a real time suck.
If "someone else's space" means your paying a day rate or rental then it's also going to eat up budget.

McCurdy ever time. Ward Beck is a close second.

yeah, I'm afraid my cheap "universal wireless mic clip" does the job and is not $50. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MY110--on-stage-stands-my110-unbreakable-dynamic-wireless-mic-clip Whomever I bought a couple ATM-25s from decided to remove the assembly that attaches to the mic stand, so I...
