I haven't tried them all, but have used LiveCut on some stuff. Glitch heaven.

These great too, especially the Vogue and Effectrix, but I have them all (except this new Consquence thingy) and they are really excellent.

Joel, it was one of the best and most inspiring gear reviews I've ever read, and by someone I totally respect and admire, but only to find that out about halfway through! I mean, I can't even begin to express how the whole recording process has gotten better for me, as it would for anyone who just w...

Bricasti M7 review in TapeOp

As I left the house en route to my daily morning coffee routine, I was scrambling to find some untattered reading material to take along with me, but alas, I shut the door empty-handed thinking I'd just grab some loose newspaper sections scattered at the cafe. A quick stop by the mailbox and poof! T...

While I did chose the speakers for their sound above anything else, I must admit I'm quite fond of the yellow colored woofers, I just dig yellow and the contrast against the black and the rest of my gear is rather pleasant, so that was just a bonus, lol...to each his own I guess!

+ 1.

Going on 4 years now with the KRK V6 Series II, they maybe one of the most underrated monitors, imo.

My first "producer" role for another artist

I've been on this board for quite some time but this is the first time I post on this section. I've been at my own music for a while and yet never bothered. However, I just finished producing an EP for a friend of mine, a female singer-songwriter named James Jameson. The songs initially started with...

I just got me an iPhone the other day, just now making a little time to see all the apps available. I'm blown away by how many there are!!! Joel, maybe we can make this thread a sticky? I think there will an increasing number of iPhone users very shortly and there's so much music related stuff for i...

My only tiff is I'm a bit confused with all the different models. It's weird, you'd think they would give you long-throw faders on the 'recording' one, but no, you get the shorties. I'll have to look again, but on the 'recording' one, with FW, are there no groups/busses? The black faders to the righ...

Would I be off-base here to suggest that the U5 has become an (if not the ) industry standard bass DI? That sure seems to be the case. jt Perhaps it is, or not too far off. In my limited experience I can say it's probably the most ubiquitous DI and perhaps most talked about. Then there's discussion...

i have my 3 sets of monitors on 3 differnt outputs of my DA. Then I just switch to different outputs from the master output in my DAW. My philosophy is that the less gear between your audio and the monitors the better. That won't be an option for me, I need all the 8 outputs of my Ensemble so it's ...

I am not sure if you realize it but you can put an EQ plugin on your input channel into your DAW. Indeed I realized that many years ago, but never adopted the practice, it's pretty pointless imo. Again I'd just rather spend the extra time getting the proper tone on the way in than use a plug on the...

monitor switching device: recommendations

Not really looking to invest in one of those rackmounted ones (Central Station and such), but can you recommend a simpler approach to being able to switch between different monitors, maybe 2 or 3 sets? I have some KRK V6II's and plan on investing in some Avantone Mixcubes in the next few weeks, and ...

I have one of the black Macbooks, 2.16 Intel Core Duo, with 2.5 GB of ram. I have a FW drive that I use for backup only, and use the internal one for recording.

My reason for yapping this much about it is because I spent years trying to find a way to get guitar tones in and out of PT that I could live with. The anamod really ended my search. Amen to that. Same here, as soon as I finally learn to deal with a recording issue and overcome it, a new one comes ...
