After that I take the file, open in Soundforge and apply the good ol' Wave Hammer (usually the 16bit Master one). There are times when the volume ...

Re: Drum techs, can you help me?

One--The roundness of the shells. If the drums are out of round, it will be nearly impossible to tune them evenly. There's not much that can be done about an out-of-round kit. before i had my 75 sonor champion set it was stored for years in a texas garage with no bottom hoops. the shells were waay ...

Re: sound of the AKG 414

I have a girl coming into my place in a week or so on a TIGHT budget. She's really dead set that her voice is perfect with an AKG 414.

Re: Recommend a good noise gate?

Now that I'm recording to tape, I'm really seeing the need for a good noise gate, or even better a stereo noise gate, to deal with issues like the high noise floor of some old (but great) synths.
