The best mixing engineer I know personally mixes all the time -- live and studio albums, almost constantly. He'll go do sound and/or recording for a festival and then mix 30 live albums in 3 weeks. One day he's mixing fusion, the next folk-rock, the next hip hop. He started off just doing a single l...

I'll echo the idea that you'll need two channels. I wouldn't even consider a scope w/out them, b/c some of the most basic tests you'll be doing are input output comparisons to look for gain, clipping, biasing, etc.

What is the benefit of using a hardware decoder over mixing in the box? Do transformers give any beneficial coloration? What is the benefit of using Jensen trannies over the cheap ones at mouser? Yeah I suppose you would get some nice coloration from the Jensens, although I'm not familiar with thos...

For the record it took less then 2 weeks to get pricing info back from DG, no complaints from me -- if they're busy they're busy. But the quality vs. price is great.

One mod I believe I'll be making (haven't got all the parts in) is adding a third position to the Limit/Compress switch for 'Preamp' which will bypass some of the resistor network to give the La2a improved performance as a preamp. You can already pretty much use it as a medium gain tube preamp, this...

Is there any reason why you would want to or have to use polyester caps? Is there any difference between polyester caps and polypropylene caps? I'm building an LA2A and I have run into the same questions (along with metal film vs. carbon comp resistors, etc. etc.). People are fanatical about their ...

I know this thread is old, but I sent an email almost a week ago, followed by another email. both to David Geren and no response. Their xfo's have a stellar rep though and I really want something domestic so I don't get nailed on shipping and conversion rates... I'm building a P2P LA2A and the stand...

Can't we just set some arbitrary measurements people. Like: -No information above 10k or below 175hz -Dynamic range lower of less than 16db -Recorded on 4track or less -Someone?s roommate walks into the garage and starts the dryer during a vocal take, and you use that take. -At least one speaker is...

I've read an article about this effect that people get from having electronics devices in their pockets, where they believe they are feeling the device vibrate or tingle even though the device isn't moving. Sometimes people feel the sensation when they don't even have the device in their pocket. It'...

Yeah, I'm with millzners. A good example are the artists that Mitchell Froom produces. While he can produce a typical studio album, the groups he works with where he's more "in" with the band have a very unique sound. I'm thinking of the first Soul Coughing album, as well as the two Latin Playboys ...

Filters are fun to build and interesting to study. I would recommend doing the legwork to learn about how they work and why they do what they do -- because you're building something that's not just a toy but a critical tool. You should not only know that you want a Butterworth filter http://en.wikip...
