Re: Mixing with Hardware - Hybrid

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...

Mixing with Hardware - Hybrid

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...

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

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...

Re: Delay multitap plug in w. assignable panning.

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,...

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

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.

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

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 ...

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

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.

Re: The bottom of the snare

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.

Re: Tracking bands without a console is a PITA!

Oh that’s interesting. I was reading that going Ethernet into the PC and having to the virtual sound card negates some of the benefits of Dante as opppses to using a PCIe card.

So that hasn’t been your experience?

Re: Size Matters!

OMG yes. That’s another consideration. With my desk my iMac sits higher than I’d like and I can’t wait to get a tv on the wall at the right height.
