I only just clued in to the same thing!
Tape Op is my last connection to studio in my life as daddy+work, and I just realised i re-subscribed on November 2012 and my most recent copy is still issue 90.
Sad Chris.

no worries MSE. you keep summing everything at the master output, and i'll keep bussing everything out to an external mixer in stems. it sure seems to me that i get better stereo imaging, more coherent reverb tails and more punch out of the overall mix when i minimise the amount of summing that has ...

if you're stuck in the box, without a chance to sum through hardware, then definately play with the Massey tape plug in. it's fake tape, but it's a good sound. also remember to sum signals through busses - don't just dump 20 tracks straight to the master output, as the maths gets too much for the so...

i class it as inspirational. certainly Stav gives the impression of being a bit obsessive-compulsive, but all us studio hacks? (pull on the white gloves before moving the ribbon mic) seriously, what i take away from the book each time i refer to it is not formula, but concepts and ideas. hey - he's ...

i regularly use the 'comments' field in protools to keep track of signal chains etc. what we really need is the ability to link a digital image to the comments field, so you can take a photo of the settings, and store it in the session file itself. but that just perpetuates our reliance on protools,...

absolutely. but i'm such a small fish that folks can come to me for a particular sound. not that i can't do a wide range of work, but i'm just not interested in comping hip-hop from 23 milliion takes!!! if they don't like the vibe / ethic behind my joint, then make your choice by going somewhere els...

ooh ooh ooh i forgt to mention the speaka-mic. that's so much fun. i use the 6.5" speaker in a combo amp for a tighter sound, or a flappy old 12" for a sub-sonic impact. but not as often as i'd like, because ijust don't have the space once the guitar amps, bass, keys or whatever else come trooping i...

Lo-Fi (Low Fidelity) : disregarding and often flagrantly violating the established conventions of sound-quality, Lo-Fi often sounds unclean, containing natural noises such as natural reverb and echoes, distortion, tape-hiss and/or feedback, and various sonic artifacts, lack of sound-picture clarity...

i've been reading through all this with great interest. here's a shot from end of last year - a wee punk band called shipspiano. http://photos-g.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-snc1/v274/65/29/649759041/n649759041_936030_1823.jpg console = TAC 16/8/2 (the old one - transformer isolated mic inputs) recordi...

yeah totally - ITB automation is going to screw wth your hardware compression settings, but it's just a choice you have to make. Some might say that what you're achieving through fader-riding prior to compression is actually going to minimise excessive compression and associated artifacts by keeping...

it's not just a problem of burn-speed with cd's not recognising in cheap players - its also about reflectivity of the data surface not being enough for the poor underpowered cheap-o laser to make sense of. commercially pressed discsuse a more reflective data layer. combine that with using cheap cd-r...
