I am very glad that John has a good handle on this. It seems that Columbia College is putting out more people all the time that I have to deal with in radio that think the meters are suppose to peg in the red to sound good. Thank you John Scrip for the well said and long overdue comments from appar...

I took most of the day off. Tweaked a couple projects, worked on my bike (prettied up the wiring on a GPS I installed last week).

Dusted. Geez, it's been getting dusty in here...

You can't use the same DA to feed the chain as you send to your monitoring controller...

Would such an expensive choice enhance things that much in a 160 person capacity room? This is partially what insurance is for. Granted - I'm not going to hand a 414 to a death-metal vocalist. But if the backup singers in a soul band would benefit, absolutely. U87 on solo strings? Certainly. I don'...

I found the Solaris to be almost freakishly good for an awful lot of things... Shite for close-up, aggressive vocals. But for almost any typical LDC application, it's a winner for next to nothing. I don't have an awful lot of mics anymore (I rarely ever track/mix anymore). But of the mics I didn't d...

Cinder brick works pretty well. Nothing wrong with "layers" of decoupling using different densities and points.

I won't even go into what I do here...

It's just ("just" is a bit of an understatement though) a monitoring controller... True, a wonderful monitoring controller with a phenomenal (IMO) DA converter. Which is the most vital DA in any chain at any time in any situation. Plus, all the usual needs and wants - Input and output switching, pos...

Drumagog with the "Rock Drums" samples. Top shelf.

Think of it another way - Could you actually ever ponder refusing such a basic request?

I don't normally have much "nice" to say about PreSonus, but I had the CS and the BK in here a few years back (long story) while I was waiting for my Avocet. Kept the CS and messed with it quite a bit. Actually ended up using the built-in DA (which was shockingly decent - I did not expect that at al...

Tweaked a stem project that's been here for - Forever, I think.

A little gear maintenance and added a third HDMI run for the MacBook.

Dance competition season - Edits, edits, edits (one actually came out to 2:29:74 with a 2:30 max).

Eh, they're "a little harder on the disc" (I always recommend using a tray loader for QC'ing final production masters, for example), but they're not nasty or anything.

If they get jammed, they're a b**ch... But they don't tend to jam up often IME.

You know, you can go with patterns or abstracts also...

Got me a 46" Toshiba HD as the main monitor. Ahhh... My back, shoulder and neck (and eyes) feel better already.

Try Samplitude Master - You probably won't even want any other plugs.


DISCLAIMER: I don't use plugs often - But it's hard to beat Samplitude Pro's native plugs. Assuming "Master" has many of the same (AM-Suite, etc.), it's fairly "all in one" as far as digital horsepower is concerned.
