Re: Tracking bands without a console is a PITA!

Easy real time (or very low latency) monitoring mainly. I think mainly I don’t fully grasp how to best do this with Logic. The routing seems weird on tracks with record monitoring on. They all go straight to the stereo out. Also, you can put a reverb on an individual tracks insert and hear that effe...

Tracking bands without a console is a PITA!

How do you all do it? Since moving to Logic a few years ago I’ve been mostly mixing other people’s project ls or tracking myself on drums. But occasionally I’ll track a project at my home studio and it’s painful. I used to have a Ghost and a bunch of outboard and it was amazing. Before that, I alway...

Re: Saturation Tools and Tricks

Thanks, good to know. I looked at the pricing structure a while back and was thoroughly confused. :shock:

Re: Saturation Tools and Tricks

Pro 3 is awesome, I have to say. It can be a really simple clean EQ, or you can split the bands to do mid side, have a dynamic eq for a particular freq that’s annoying, etc. It’s actually a very simple to use but insanely deep plugin. I’ve always wanted to use Protools. Back in the day I used Cubase...

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

Just read the reviews on the AML stuff, sounds really nice and I love that it started as a DIY project. Dammit, I think I’m starting to remember why I left the TOMB. . . Seriously through, I quit Facebook in like 2015 and never joined anything else. I occasionally browse through Reddit. But honestly...

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

Ex-pats coming home! I haven’t heard about these before. How do they sound? I ask because looks like you can buy the 1081 in kit form from them for about $666, which is the magic number. Edit: although looking at the build sheets, there are so many components so tightly packed together; seems like p...

Re: Saturation Tools and Tricks

I've dabbled with Saturn2, but tended to get overwhelmed by the options...I need to put some more time into this. I tend to prefer simple and effective plugins, apparently. Yeah, I actually demoed Saturn a while back and didn’t buy it. I thought it was too complicated and I ended up going with the ...

Re: Saturation Tools and Tricks

I haven’t heard of Kazrog Iron before, but I’m gonna demo it. $37 seems like a really good price.

The Reaper gate lets you mix in some noise. (beats me why they didn't also include a tuneable sine generator :???: )
That’s interesting. I tried reaper back in the day but I wasn’t computer literate enough to really get the most out of it at the time. I should revisit it.

Re: Saturation Tools and Tricks

I have a preset that Audiosiege made that is for the mix buss and split into L M H and gets into the M/S functionality and I sometimes use that. Holy hell, I didn’t even know it did M/S! Can you send me a screenshot of that preset or a link? I would love to play around with that a bit as a starting...

Re: Saturation Tools and Tricks

Heat is cool. The Black Box from PA I find really good on electric guitars to help them cut through. Particularly if the tone wasn’t that great to begin with. a little bit on a lead track is awesome. But I haven’t found it that good on anything else. Devil Loc has been my go to for years but even di...

Saturation Tools and Tricks

First of all, it’s awesome to be back at the TOMB. Hope I’m not blowing up all these threads. So I always used a little saturation on bass to help cut through on small speakers and for EFX. But I’ve been watching some vids with Jaycen Joshua and a few others, I was kind of shocked how much saturatio...

Re: What preamps are y'all liking these days?

Listening to the copper audio samples on Hairball’s site and I’m definitely going to build one. I used to have a 7th Circle N72 that I still miss. BUT while comparing I really fell in love with the Lola sound. I’ve always wanted a pair of super clean Hardy type pres so I’m gonna build one of those f...

Re: monitors

Now that’s a dream, a 55” monitor. My Mac chokes if I try to run a second monitor. When it dies def going to run a tv for a monitor. I’m too old for this stuff.
