monthly letter.

ok, monthly. as they say, time flies when you're having fun...

same. A plugin "template" maybe gets misconstrued, but that's what it is. a starting point. it doesn't mean cookie cutter. When I'm doing drum tracks it's a place to start. Or when I've got a singer songwriter and we're doing 20 songs that we want to sound somewhat similar, I'm using the same starti...

They now make quite a few FRFR (full range, flat response) amps that generally have a combo line/instrument jack on them. Those are meant for plugging modeling devices into (like the Fractal and Kemper's) but should work equally fine with a synth/keyboard. I know a lot of keyboard players that just ...

that site that I put a link to earlier in this thread has an email they send out maybe every week (or two?). It's not spammy, and while I'm not really looking for training (or at least not to pay for it :lol: ), they often have a short, free video (or blog) on new features. I don't always read the m...

digitaldrummer, re-reading this it seems I may have misunderstood your very direct inquiry; in response to the question you actually asked, no, there's no decoupling between the joists and the top plate. once you explained that the inner and outer walls were separate and did not touch, that answere...

when I've had a mic that sounds like you describe, it's usually been a bad capsule (or in this case the rear side of the capsule). You could try putting the mic in a bag of rice or sealed in a bag with silica gel (desiccant) packs if you have them. If it's moisture (and a lot of time that's what kil...

I don't gain stage like that, but as I said before I like the Slate VBC and it allows you to push levels into the plugin but it doesn't actually change the level coming out of the plugin... There are others like United Plugins FrontDAW that you can do that, but it also has in/out levels that can cha...

I think someone told me many years ago "oh, you should use playlists" and I was like "nah, I'm good. this works for me". But then I tried it and NEVER went back. I was an idiot. It saves so much time once you get the hang of it.

For Pro Tools playlists you don't have to cut and paste. you simply highlight an area and then click a little "up" arrow and it moves it to the main track for you. And yes, it works with grouped files (like a bunch of drum tracks) too. And as far as plugins, you can change the sorting/grouping. I ju...

Playlists have been around since like PT 6 I think?

It's true, "playlists" are just files, so pretty much every file is a "playlist" or at least Avid(or Digidesign) has been using that term forever I think

Playlists are great as well (but I think that came out with PT 10 or 11 maybe?). I use it when I'm doing drum tracks. I can do multiple takes (from the same starting point) and then I "expand alternates to new playlists" or something like that with the "match criteria" set to the starting point. the...

Looks great. I can't tell from the picture as it looks like both joists are sitting on top of the wall plate. Is there some kind of isolation clip between them or something? I mean between the 2x10's and the top plate? I assume the 2x8's are for the interior/ceiling (inner leaf) so they can sit on t...

If you haven't had an EL84 amp before it's good to know that if the amp is getting used they wear out quicker than other tubes. As long as you put in a matched pair you don't have to bias them. It's a plug and play situation. Maybe that's the same issue Fender had with the Blues Jr. - they had the ...

A-Designs EM-Blue (Erickson Montessi) - awesome sounding. Similar to the P1/Pacifica except this one has a nickel output transformer (extends the highs). Excellent working and physical condition (near mint cond). $435 shipped (USA lower 48 only). I'll cover Paypal fees. .. https://images.craigslist....

oh yeah, I'd never use one in the studio - well wait, I did have a singer/songwriter that used one once. it was only for a few things and it sounded ok for what it was. but definitely not what I would have chosen to do...
