Like, if I want my guitar to feedback at a given volume, I'll crank the "gain" and lower the master volume as my first step. Then I'll start placing myself inappropriately close to my amp, introduce a distortion pedal, etc., etc. whoa, wait, a mic preamp is nothing like a high gain guitar preamp! g...

If you're working live in a club sending monitors from the FOH consolse, you have one input gain that better be loud enough for both the monitor send and the main mix. once it's set after check you can't touch it. there are a lot of choices you just don't have in a live situation. damn the distortio...

never heard that, but no. here is what you should worry about... spend a lot of time learning to recognize ringing frequencies, and dont eq out more than you need. a parametric on a digital board will get you closer than a 31-band graphic. keep stage volume at a decent level. MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT S...

man, are we still allowed to discuss audio engineering in depth on here anymore without someone calling for a thread to be locked? i really dont see what's so wrong with this discussion.

why are we here if not to engage other posters in conversation??

...a recording engineer isn't who you are. No matter how much of your life you've put into it. You're a person and engineering is just something you do. Just like I'm a person and writing is just something I do. I'm not a writer. You're not an engineer. that's weird, it certainly feels like i "am" ...

haha.. i wrote "di-rectally."

as some religious folk would say, "god answers every prayer. but often the answer is 'no'." just because he got different advice than he was expecting, along with some directally addressing his questions, doesn't mean he was told there was no answer. and, i think it's true that some people on here t...

i need to get to a doctor who can accurately assess where my dip is, but yeah... left ear is missing a good bit of 3k or so from my hi hat.

i definitely made some stupid mistakes before i realized that, though! "hm, that's weird, stereo image seems skewed.. let me just pan this over a hair.."

well, look, everyone in the world who makes music should have some way of getting sketches down, and the ability to overdub at least a couple other ideas as a way of writing harmonies, etc... you need to make demos. to make a good demo in a normal person's living space (not a designed studio), put a...

i only called you a name after a particularly defensive and obnoxious post that you've since edited because you obviously knew it was out of line. it's captured in my quote of your original post.

i apologize for letting things get so hot, but i remain unswayed by any of your reasoning.

oh man, this is so much fun! nice

perry, we know what you're saying, but did you read the whole thread? specifically, joel's long post on page 3?

i thought the technique normally referred to as Blumlein was two figure 8 s in X-Y.
