Re: Cymbals Eat Snare
I don't know if that wasn't already mentioned: underheads. If i notice the drummer is trashing too hard on the cymbals or hihat i arm a few tracks more and put ribbons underneath the cymbals... if it gets ugly i can pull down the overhead mics and play with the underhead tracks. I don't say that it ...

Re: Coronavirus Health Precautions for Studios
There has been research on the topic how strong people are infectuous who show no symptoms.

Re: pan your drums out of the center
I had the topic audience vs. drummer perspective come up not even half a dozend times in 35 years. For mixing live i think the question isn't too hard, right? I had considerable more lefthanded drummers live. For recording, if the drummer says so and the band is okay: fine. I usually never place the...

Beyer M380 spare capsule
Hi, i got a spare capsule around that would be good as a replacement part for a dead M380. Beyer made these capsules until the late 80s, they were used in certain headphones as drivers and (with a humbucking coil added) as mic capsule in the M380. A few years ago i went down the rabbit hole and chec...

Re: MD 409 in pieces
That got me off guard - i only got a crate of foam from Sennheiser back then and it's a flashy kind of dark grey. In the greyest way possible. I suspect contrasting colors would benefit the guitar sound, like red-green, yellow-violet, orange-blue. The foam got to be of roughly the firmness/hardness ...

Re: MD 409 in pieces
You could as well spray paint your pieces before you put them together. As they are not that shiny anymore it can only get better. If you're traditional, go with gold/black. If you're into the PR30, go with red and black. If you're into norwegian death metal, paint it black, very black and "a hole i...

Re: phase alignment and polarity adjustment plugins
I use the Melda often. The topic can be a can of worms, though. It's not always possible to fix the issue in analogue or the real world. For example, multing a guitar and bringing the mics on the different amp/speakers into alignment is tricky if on one path there's something digital with latency an...

Re: MD 409 in pieces
I have 2 MD409s .... are literally falling apart. I want to put the capsules in a new home What is it that falls apart with your 409s? Its basically two halves of wire mesh, the frame around them and the little piece that keeps those three together, has two holes for the screws and the shaft with t...

Re: transparent 500 series pre
You can't do much wrong with a JLM audio preamp, for clean the Baby Animal neutral would be nice - i wanted to look at his site but had trouble to get there. Then the Sound Skulptor MP599 is in a similar vein than the old ISA preamps and have top notch Lundahl transformers and some other nice featur...

Re: tracking headphones 2019 (for the performers)
I found the Vic Firth headphones rather flimsy when one drummer brought his pair. No wonder they break easily. Tried out the Monoprice headphones because i was curious - don't sound good, not even for the money, cheap plastic, breaking easy. The extreme isolation headphones are so-so, the upper mode...

Re: Mixing a band with a single, mono electric guitar
By the way, here's what i learnt to align mics on amps: have the guitar player plug/unplug. Buzz, crackle, bang. Zoom in on the waveform, move one of the mics, record again, closer, repeat, now they combine nicely. I know many of you know that already but it doesn't hurt for the two people stumbling...

Re: Mixing a band with a single, mono electric guitar
All about making people happy at the end of the day! That's exactly the point, getting how the band perceive themselves (C), hearing where they are (A) and finding a way to bridge A-B-C. If the band is not happy, you didn't get to C. It helps when the band is not too deluded to where their "C" is ;...

Re: Mixing a band with a single, mono electric guitar
surprising to hear people suggest using two amps etc. etc. etc. when it's stated that band wants to sound like themselves Of course it doesn't happen without the band knowing what's going on. I don't use it to re-invent the sound of the band but to translate the sheer force of a show into something...

Re: Mixing a band with a single, mono electric guitar
I have often done bands like this, without guitar overdubs and to get more wall of sound out of a single guitar i split it to two or more amps. One is the original amp, it sounds like the band sounds. One has maybe a bit less distortion, to let the attack of notes and chords through better and the t...
