I was streaming music on Spotify and did the following to use an EQ: 1. Set up an aggregate device consisting of Soundflower and my Focusrite interface. 2. Set the Focusrite as the master clock, and checked "drift" for Soundflower. 3. Used this aggregate as the output for Spotify. 4. Set up Pro Tool...

Any particular suggestions for darkening and fattening?

I've been playing with the Metric Halo character demo. I've found that having multiple instances of the plugin just shy of where it starts breaking up can help tubify things nicely, but not in a way that hits you over the head. Was doing this in the "Soft Sat" mode. Anyone else doing this with satur...

Thanks for the great tip Dave! I'd imagine this would work best with linear phase filtering. Any recommendations in the plugin world? Now that I think about it, I could try what you're describing with the WaveArts Multidynamics plugin. This could work by having a duplicate plugin for each of the two...

I was thinking earlier about the idea of using a saturation effect only on specific frequency ranges, and was wondering how to go about applying this. For instance, if I like what an overdriven tube sound is doing to the lower frequencies, can I have it affect only those frequencies and not the rest...

Curious to hear what users think about the Metric Halo Character plugin. The price has been reduced to $75. I was thinking about purchasing the Waves REDD for preamp coloration, but MH Character has a huge variety of emulations, so I'm thinking of trying this first. Any ideas what hardware devices C...

Hello All. I'm wondering if there are any audio post mixers out there who have experience with Izotope RX 5 advanced, and could comment on how frequently they use the additional advanced features. I'm debating about which version to purchase. I primarily work on short-form advertising pieces, 3-5 mi...

Hello, I'm running Pro Tools 10 on OS 10.7.5, and am looking into buying an affordable used control surface such as a Mackie Hui. (Even a Baby Hui would suffice, although it seems that this doesn't have the ability to select a track, which is frustrating.) Does anyone have experience with a HUI on O...

Hello All, I am looking to hook up my iPhone 6 to my stereo system. After looking to see what's out there, I found some LOD cables (such as the FiiO L3) that are compatible with older iPhones, but nothing that supports the lightning connection. Further research reveals that quality might not be comp...

Hello All, I'm mixing some 45-minute podcasts for a nonprofit on a low budget. The interviews take place out in the field, and there is a lav mic on both the interviewer and interviewee. For optimum fidelity, I'm reducing the volume of the interviewer by about 10 db while the interviewee is speaking...

So after all these years, My Bloody Valentine's Loveless has been remastered. Most of us never thought this would see the light of day, as rumor had it that this would happen years ago. It was released as a two disk set, with one disk being a remaster from the 1/2" mixdown, and the other being essen...

I was wondering if anyone knows (or has experience) with mono USB headsets in regard to whether or not the L and R signals get summed, or whether it is only the L signal that passes to the earpiece. I don't know if all manufacturers handle this in the same way or not. Any info would be appreciated. ...

I am interested in hiring a developer to build a basic audio routing utility. It will have two inputs (1 mono and 1 stereo), each of which will be routed to the same mono output. The utility will work in conjunction with Soundflower (unless there is a better way of doing it, which I am certainly ope...

Sorry for the off topic post. Does anyone know of a good forum for phone / VOIP service? I am trying to set up a service with a toll free number that forwards to my cell phone, and have some specific requirements. Thanks.

Thanks! Another I/O question for you all... 1. I create a Pro Tools session called "Session MBox" with Current Engine set to MBox. 2. I then create another session called "Session Focusrite" with Current Engine set to a Focusrite interface. 3. I open up "Session MBox," but since the last opened sess...
