We just installed a version of Sonar X2a last night. I don't know if it fixes the problem you're having, but they generally enumerate the problems the update is trying to fix.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one questioning this video. My question is this: Would the addition of a convolution reverb recorded in the actual space they were in constitute artificial reverb? I've heard the clear kick and snare attributed to compression, but I'm not sure I'm buying that. M...

I agree that it is a solution that will require a bit of trial and error. I did a session recently that had one amp that magically tuned itself to the hum in my laundry room lights. Never had it before, and it was an easy fix. The regularity of the clicks has me intrigued. Buzzing is one thing (mayb...

I did my basement ceiling to keep my drums from offending my first floor tenants. In the joist space, I put up a layer of rock with green glue on the back, then a second layer of rock with green glue. Then acoustic caulk. I'm not going to say you can't hear me play drums anymore, but it certainly do...

Crushed rock with a slab poured over it should do the trick. If the rest of the floor is concrete, make sure you dowel the opening around the inspection pit to the new slab. You can drill holes for bits of rebar into the sides of the opening and tether the new pad's rebar to it. I have to agree that...

Regarding LED's needing a special dimmer: it is true. Lutron makes a nice product called the C/L dimmer. It will handle incandescent and LED loads, but be aware that the LED load limit is 150 watts. Phillips, in my mind, is on the cutting edge of LED lamp technology. I have installed probably 10 bra...

Wow, that was pretty great. I kind of pictured you looking over a pair of reading glasses while delivering it. Tons of great stuff that is way out my league of recording prowess. Still, it's one of the things I love dearly about this forum: picking the brains of those much smarter than I and much be...

I'm curious as to how those transients manifest themselves. Did it ring out too much? Get cloudy? I totally respect your opinion but it seems counter to virtually everything I've read. Just trying to educate myself here.

+1 on the vibes. Pretty cool rig. That looks like a pretty basic setup. I'll monkey around a bit and do some experimentation. Lots to toy with thanks to the board.

Nick, 3 to 5 feet? That seems awfully far. Enough to cause plenty of bleed. I guess a lot depends on where he is in the room. I did read the clip and it had some good bits. I guess I'm curious about the advantage of having the mics so far away (other than the player not hitting them)

Good stuff so far. This will be in a large room (Thrasher Opera House in WI) with other instruments. Drums, 2 guitars, bass, and keys. I'll check out the article later tonight.

Have a session next month with a vibe player. Looking for advice about recording this instrument. Mic placement and type of mic would be helpful. Not brands of mics, but type (as in condenser or hyper cardoid). Never run into this before so all are welcome suggestions.

I believe you can stream it from Amazon for like $2

Because too many others have used it.

I respect mine enough to not do that to it.

Plus, Ultraman rocks!!!

Nice. And yes, Ultraman DOES rock.
