When I downsized and got rid of my ghost, I bought a used D box. Honestly I wasn’t that impressed with it. It was a BIG jump going from the console to summing my 4 stereo busses etc so I may have been biased. But personally I didn’t get enough mojo out of it to justify not just going all the way in ...

I use my console for summing and an analog mix bus chain. For years it was a Drawmer 1969, which I still think is a great compressor, it's got switched attack and release times. If I keep the threshold and makeup at 0, I could easily make a note in PT for the attack and release for easy recall. A f...

That's funny I was reading about the KTs earlier today looking at some cheaper Pultec options (opinions weren't great on them). I am eyeing the AML Pultec Kits, which are hella cheap to build considering the quality and options as well as the DIYRE Pultec kits which are slightly cheaper but very bas...

So last year, I reached out to the engineer (Michael Kramer) and mixer (Jon Markson) of the Pile of Love self titled album. It has a sound that I love. A really nice thick low mid bloom that sounds warm and gushy but never muddy. I think it's the first album in a long time that sounds sonically simi...

I picked up those Amazon SDC shock mounts mentioned earlier for my Oktavas. Really nice for the price. I also got Kazrog's True Iron and True Dynamics. The 26W compressor is SOOO THICK sounding. Wow. They have a sale going on right now. I want to try their 242 and Synth warmer plugs but really tryin...

Dayum, 85 db is a lot!

Logic Pro X comes with Delay Designer. It can do all that and more. https://support.apple.com/guide/logicpro/delay-designer-overview-lgcef18b8dc5/mac Holy shit, thank you for this! I thought I had gone through all the Apple standard plugins but I totally missed this one. Playing around with it now,...

It’s funny, I think I remember reading a review of the Redcloud in tape op and thinking, “what would I ever need 8 little attenuators for?”

I bought the DIY 500 extender kit for testing as I was gonna pull the trigger on a few Lola’s till I got sidetracked. They seem like a good company.

Always the struggle! So far it’s got the Burls awesome heft but with an extended top end. Now I get where that whole red silk thing from my RND 542s comes from. Then you add the EQ and it’s really incredible for the price. The Burl distorts maybe a bit better when really pushed, but I don’t have a ...

Well dammit, all this 1073 talk got me. I found a really good deal on a mint used AML ez1073. Gonna be doing a bunch of testing against my Burl to see how it compares.

First impressions are sounding good.

The stuff of dreams right there. Can’t wait to follow this build and best of luck to you!

I always mic the bottom. If I get tracks from somebody with no mic on the bottom I re-amp the snare track with a snare drum sitting on top of a Fender Pro Jr and mic the snares there. I almost always have an 1176 plug on the bottom snare fast attack/slowest release. I'm gonna try that compression i...

This is another pre I’ve been thinking about. I’ve heard nothing but good things about it.
