I used to find that the actual time taken for tracking was inversely proportional to how quick the band were convinced it would be beforehand, doubly so if a manager was involved in the time calculations. In fact I don't ever think I saw a session come in on time once the itinerary had been announce...

I have attended many mastering sessions with the main man at one of the UK's best known mastering houses and his eyes rarely stray from the DN60. That's not to say his ears don't get used, but the visual referencing is at least half of the job. Spectral analysis on indivudual tracks is getting prett...

Intern is cheaper and more entertaining.

I know not everyone has computers or DAWs, but most do or have easy access to such. This is fixed in two clicks.

Keep the phasing in as a boutique analogue process! I'm only half joking as I think you might be scraping the bottom of the barrel with this one. I defy you to make a qualitative judgement on multi-tracking to tape-vs-dumping your digital master to tape a couple of times. Since DAWs first emerged I ...

What encoder are you currently using? Have you tried the various combinations of bitrate settings? Logic does have an internal mp3 bounce function but you can always bounce to wav or aiff and then encode that file using whatever external app you prefer. The LAME encoders are a good place to start yo...

I am a registered NS10 hater. Have worked with them for fifteen years and nearly always prefer any other monitor for all the usual reasons - boxy, no bass, very tiring and prone to blowing tweeters. That said there will always be mix perverts who like them (but you can learn to mix on any bad set of...

If you are in DAW, precisely cutting the plosives out and pasting onto an adjacent track with hpf is probably the easiest and most accurate, then bounce.

In fairness to the OP, the question wasn't whether or not it's appropriate to record this stuff at higher sample rates. He simply wants to know why his converter, which has 96k capabilities, isn't working at 96k with his software, which also has 96k capabilities. And, so far, he's gotten some poten...

With respect to upping the bit depth and sample rate, somewhere there is a point of diminishing, and then ultimately no returns . If recording at 24 bit is no problem then stick with it, I wager it would have more of a return than then difference between 48k and 96k. If we are getting into theory, t...

2) SOUND EXAMPLES? Anyone who has done this: can you post audio samples with and without the badassed transformers in the path? It'd be helpful, not only to help me determine if it's REALLY worth my effort to try this, but also if it is, what the best transformers would be to seek out initially. +1...

Good work, and running at 48k does not mean half the quality of 96k in this situation, the difference will remain purely theoretical. Remember that every CD on the planet is a 44.1k format, and its debatable if your tape sources can match the fidelity offered at these settings. 48k is fine, 44.1k is...

Never do free, it undermines your entire mission. You can help all your pals out for next to nothing, but even if its 10% of list price, there is a huge psychological difference between free and very cheap.

Lets start with the kit you already own. What you got ?

Great stuff. Most of the things I get from torrents are vintage oddities like this, and there's been several occasions when I suspected they might be elaborate pranks masquerading as old records, but so far they all check out. History was stranger than we thought.
