Re: Best mics/mic-ing approaches for sax?
I've been an alto player since I was 10. I love recording saxophone because it's one of the easiest instruments to get sounding right. M160 is okay, sm57 gets away with more in that spot than it does most anywhere else, but nothing's ever beat out the SM7b for me. Point it just above the bell a foot...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
I just ordered a Sequential Take Five polyphonic synth.
I've been hankering for one for ages. I've become something of a gear camel in middle age: 1-2 new pieces a year at most, so when I actually buy it's really exciting. Can't wait to explore the voices and textures.

Re: write this song
It could be a good topical folk song with irony, unreliable narrator. The verses are just rhyming details of legal woes and the chorus just refrains "I'm an innocent man."

Re: is there delay plugin like a delta lab effectron?
Everyone covered the factual stuff I was going to say. So I'll simply add that I love that box. When I was working with a songwriter on his mostly straight forward Americana album he kept wanting to push some parts into weirder sonic territory. Everything I came up with that he loved had the effectr...

I need to listen to that Blakey Quintet at Birdland record!

Live Room Measurements
Hey gang. I'm gearing up for the next round of improvement cycle at my place. Last summer's journey of control room measurement/treatment was difficult but fruitful. Has me thinking about my live room. I know the goals aren't exactly the same but I assume you can find and should treat major anomalie...

Re: Underwhelmed by ATMOS music (So far)
I can't say that I've given it a proper test drive like you, but starting with surround I've been skeptical at multispeaker innovations in music. Mostly because it's not analogous to live music. I don't want the drums in front of me and the guitar solo to come in behind me. I think the sales guy's f...

Re: Bass and octaves and low end
Apologies, this is a potentially annoying non-answer..... But what if the answer is leaving a hole? Last year I got into an album by The Casual Dots (ex Bikini Kill), a trio with two guitars and no bass. It's a cool sounding record and the hole in the lows is part of the sound. Kind of like the earl...

Re: anyone working at 96k?
24-bit and 48k for years.
There are a lot of ways I can still improve my mixes. Sample rate isn't one of them.

Re: Please recommend some small but mighty speakers
I wound up going with the KRK 5 inch dealios for about $300. They just sound super solid to me, for their size. They have crazy dsp on the back, I think, to dial in their sound. Maybe I'm just used to KRK's? I'd have recommended these for this need. Those KRKs are like the sm57 of monitors. Useful,...

Re: let's talk monitoring / accurate sound reproduction for mixing
Have you used the room eq wizard to measure your current setup? It might be interesting to compare the two pairs of monitors also.

I just got Soundtoys, like all of 'em. Black Friday sale of $230 was too good to pass up.
