chure! I posted this on gearslutz almost exactly a year ago - my opinions are the same a year later - I don't use it all the time, but it's nice on some vocals, some acoustic guitar and definitely on electric guitar and bass. http://www.gearslutz.com/board/low-end-theory/569035-art-pro-channel-user...

So a couple of months in, are you still using it? What situations is it best suited for? Have you used it for vocals and if so, how does it handle fast transients? Is it clean enough to record a professional vocal track? I started a bunch of years ago with the ART MP and this looks like two of them...

Ubertar, do you know my friend Daniel Anthony Stearns? A rare genius microtonal composer. I used to produce him a fair amount. He's a treasure. I do. We were messaging back and forth a bit on the ning xenharmonic board, or whatever it was called, until it shut down, and then lost touch. We released...

I used Dyn3 on drum and guitar busses (submasters), but never on the main mix bus. It has those nice features that you mention (e.g., sometimes I wanted to duck a wall of guitars under something), it just doesn't sound quite good enough, IMHO, to be all over the mix. +1 agreed. Dyn3 is a good plug ...

Re: mastering question: outputting various files/formats
Hi, For online sales of the product (iTunes, bandcamp), you need only give them a DATA disc. Do not concern yourself with the "running order", as they will have to do that themselves when they upload the songs to each service. Cheers yes, BUT the files still have to have the proper amount of spacin...

Facetiousness aside, it's really difficult to get someone to sing better than they can. A kind-of-funny and informative thing I read about Daniel Lanois once, about him singing on tour and being frustrated he was always kind of flat, not being primarily a singer - so he had his monitor/headphone mi...

Re: Acceptable Margin of Error on Vocal Pitch
I've noticed watching the tuner that up to 10 or 15 cents sharp can sound pretty okay if there aren't two voices working together. For some reason anything near 10 cents flat is more troubling to the ear, than sharp. Yes! (Back to the OP's original question). Studies (and experience) have shown tha...

I'm loving this thread - lots of food for thought and great and varied perspectives from all concerned! - A side thought this brings up, how people are really crazy nowadays for saturator plugins, tape sims, decapitator, etc. - back in the tape and transformer days, every track had varying degrees o...

Why would you want the spectrum to look "even"??? Are you recording pink noise? Ha! Indeed. What I meant by "even" as a spectral *reference* is related to pink distribution (-3db per octave slope) but is darker, around -4.5db per octave slope. (But that doesn't apply in the lows, under 200 or so it...

If you are into Texture... http://thebewitched.bandcamp.com/album/without-a-net Mimi and Eric are completely delightful people and wonderful to work with. They composed and performed and tracked everything themselves in St. Paul, sent me the tracks and I took it from there (in Boston). Very hybrid a...
