Allen & Heath analog desk with DAW integration
If I were in the market for a new, affordable recording console, I would definitely consider this: http://www.allen-heath.com/UK/DisplayProduct.asp?pview=115 http://www.allen-heath.com/AHImages/GS-R24.jpg Designer's Notes The original concept for the GS-R24 was for a larger version of the ZED-R16 wi...

In my opinion, a good upright (not console) will sound much better recorded than a baby grand. Personally, I would never buy a baby grand. It might "look" like a grand, but it won't sound like one. Go to a reputable piano store and try every single piano that you can afford. Even brand-new pianos of...

Or an M-Audio ProFire Lightbridge connected to a PreSonus Digimax FS will give you 8 channels of preamps plus 24 leftover channels of ADAT. $1000 total for new units. Plus, it's Pro Tools compatible if you ever want to go that route. Will the Lightbridge be stable with the MacBook Pro? Don't know my...

Personally, I'd recommend that you get an audio interface that uses ExpressCard instead of FireWire. (Read the Gear Geeking column in the Mar/Apr issue of Tape Op about FireWire.) For example, the RME HDSPe ExpressCard w/ Multiface II bundle goes for about $1200 street: http://www.rme-audio.de/en_pr...

Yeah, but then take that printed reverb track, duplicate it, and pitch shift the copy back down an octave... or even two octaves.. and mix together. Or better yet.... Was this mockery? Why? As others have mentioned, I'm not one for mockery, but I am one for taking a great idea and springboarding of...

Or for you tape folks using a (Real) room verb... Run your source sound in at double speed, mic the room. Then slow tape back down and VOILA you have lengthened your rooms decay. My "echo chamber" sounds a bit like a well, but hey, it was fun! Johnny7 ps. This is a fun thread I do this with springs...

Best way to set phase (once everything is positioned correctly) is to create an overlap between the subwoofer pass band and the main monitor passband. Then output a sine wave within the shared pass band (so that both the sub and the mains are outputting the sine wave). Vary the phase until you have ...

Sorry for not being clear!!! Let me clarify. I agree that it's extremely important to be geeky about subwoofer configuration. In fact, I would argue that before you even decide what crossover frequency to utilize, you must spend some time measuring for room modes and then deciding not only crossover...

Yeah, but then take that printed reverb track, duplicate it, and pitch shift the copy back down an octave... or even two octaves.. and mix together. Or better yet, time reverse the dry track to which you want to add the reverb. Then do all this. Then re-reverse the dry and wet tracks. And you will g...

I've bought about thirty IEC power cables of various lengths under 3 ft from You-do-it . But always by walking into the store. It might be worth calling them to see if they'll ship to you. Much cheaper than the Hosa IEC cables you find at your big-box music store. You can also get short cables from ...
