Re: RIP Steve Albini

I just saw this on Reddit. Wow, he was too young to die of a heart attack. I did not expect to see this today.

He did a bunch of the Louisville bands, notably Slint and Crain. He claimed to not impart a sound but from the first snare hit you knew immediately if he recorded it.

Re: Mono Auratone - who knew??

Yep, it's actually a very old studio trick going back to the heady days of Radio dominance, the 1970s. I still have a pair here somewhere, but am not sure if they work anymore. I am enjoying my CLA-10a's too much to go looking for the Auratones LOL. I had looked at those pretty seriously, I’ve neve...

Re: New Pro Tools, who dis? "FREEZE"

I usually set Preferences/Display to Tracks and MIDI Devices and Track Color then I can group drums as one color, guitars another, bass another, etc. It really helps when you are looking at a bunch of track and trying to find somethings... I don't think there is any standard though so I just have m...

Re: New Pro Tools, who dis? "FREEZE"

the solo button is greyed out and when I solo I get nothing. I THINK the group track is an Aux track? It shows as a bus in the output of my snare track. for some stupid reason that is the default now when you create a new AUX track. Avid calls it "solo safe" (look it up). I always just "ctrl+click"...

Re: New DAW?

I feel your pain. I'm doing a mix in Pro Tools right now and its goes great for a while, then I hit something stupid, google, find the answer and move on. So yeah, a little painful to go slow but I see an upside if I can get through it.

Re: Mono Auratone - who knew??

Starting mixing on a mono auratone changed my mixing life. I work so much faster and better because of it. Do you guys start the mix on the auratones? So far I’ve just been popping in and out to check things but the next track I do from scratch o think I’m gonna start there as an experiment and jus...

Re: New DAW?

Yeah man, if you are open to learn then maybe give reaper another shot and just follow along with some tutorials. I used Logic for a long time before I finally buckled down and started to make my life easier by actually learning it. Now I am basically just taking all the shortcuts I loved in Logic a...

I really need to lose the buss numbers and go into the I/O set up and just give the buss routing "names" so it's easier to organize.
Dude that is awesome, thank you for the screenshots!

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....

I don't know if plugins count as "new gear" but I gotta say that the Kazrog True Iron and True Dynamics plugs are fucking tasty. I've still not messed with "HEAT" but i've been throwing True Iron on individual tracks as well as busses, and really like the subtleness. I've also been stacking instanc...

Re: New Pro Tools, who dis? "FREEZE"

I love logic and it's definitely better at some things for sure, but the buss situation ain't one of them. I finally built myself a nice mixing template to use as a starting point and that was when I really figured out how like you just can't do certain things once you've committed. Hey on that, I h...

Re: Mono Auratone - who knew??

I had a pair of the Avantone "auratones" and just couldn't get them to work for me. I do much better using my old boombox with a line in for "real world" or "crappy speaker" test. I"m sure they could have been "broken in" more, for they just seemed "stiff" and shitty. A single mono one makes more s...

Re: New Pro Tools, who dis? "FREEZE"

Yeah, I don't do subscription anything, so I am not sure if I'll end up doping a perpetual license or what. What is the cost of the support thing for a year? Honestly, other than some just plain stupid stuff, like not being able to arrow up and down between tracks and having to create a group every ...

Re: New Pro Tools, who dis? "FREEZE"

So I dove into the monthly subscription for now and I am really digging it. The playlist comping is unbelievably easy, especially for drums. Anyway to your post I went through all the Avid plugins and found a few that were pretty great. The Mooger Fooger, Real Tape effects, the Studio Reverb actuall...
