Topic: De-esser recommendations?
Replies: 7
Views: 3827

dbx 902 is/was an industry standard. I must say though, as far as plugins go, any digital de-esser seems to work way better than those analog outboard counter-parts. Same holds true for noise gates. I have to respectfully disagree on the De-Essers. Gates, I am with you since we can do look-ahead, b...

Well, maybe I am an idiot then! I could have sworn that the tape ins had polarity reversal on them, but it appears not. As Chris states, I tend to take care of polarity issues at the tracking stage either with a polarity flip (180 degrees) or with IBPs for things in-between. I really can't check rig...

Tape ins for mixing. That is what they were designed for. You can use the "flip" button to get access to the faders and expanded EQ section (and yes, the phase button).

Pretty simple really, and it works perfectly.

Well, I am very shocked at the replies here. I have had a system in operation here for several years, and it gets a *LOT* of use. I have had *ZERO* problems with the mixers (I have 5) but did have a problem with the hub right after I bought it. I called in, spoke with the developer, and had a new hu...

$1,200 does seem a bit on the high side...

I agree that you don't always need to use a condenser mic on acoustics, and as has been mentioned already, the MD441 is a great mic for almost anything! For vocals however, even though you can get a good sound on a dynamic, I still prefer the sound of a good LDC on most voices/styles. I have never h...

Yep... as mentioned, sending it to Sennheiser will take forever and cost a small fortune. I sent in two of my favs a few years ago, and was shocked at the cost and lead times, but I do have to admit that they did an amazing job, and these are my 2 favorite MD421s now. So at least you know that they ...

I recently had an Hammond digital (?) organ in here that was run through a Leslie... AMAZING! Even though I have the B4 and the B4II, this combo really took it to the next level. Of course, as mentioned, he was a great player and that makes all the difference in the world. I am thinking that a setup...

I just bought Samplitude using the limited-time Cubase-toSamplitude upgrade price of US$399. Normally, the upgrade is $599, and the full version is $999.

Great deal, and I couldn't pass it up. Should be here within the week.

Don't you just love Steinberg??? Lately, Steinberg's policies have left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths with some their current policies and actions (early release of a buggy Cubase 4, dropping of DX support without previous notification, cancellation of the promised SX3 update, dropping of ...

I'd say "bite the bullet" and transfer the licenses to you. It avoids all sorts of issues down the road. You've already got a great deal, now make it *yours*!

Good luck, and congratulations!

Ihave done the single MD421 between and over the 2 toms, and to be honest, I've got some pretty decent results that way in a pinch. I prefer the dedicated mic when possible but this technique works pretty well in a pinch.

This item is now sold.

Thanks to those who were interested. It seemed like I got several folks interested at the same time, but in fairness, it went to the first bidder.

Thanks again!
