Re: plug in compression vs real deal

but, my point is that I've had the UAD-1 now for a few years.... I've still got a 1.4 GHz cpu, and I've been using the 1176, La2a, and Pultec plugs for two years now... meanwhile, all of the "faster cpu every year" guys are in the 3 Ghz range and still waiting for a native plug that even comes close...

Re: plug in compression vs real deal

chriss, the first prorec article you referenced, comparing software compressors, was written in 1999. the second prorec article you referenced, on dsp cards, was written in 1998! times have changed quite a bit. no matter how hotrodded your mobo/processor, there are simply no native plugs that do wha...

Re: rush limbaugh

I don't think that anyone's happy that another citizen is hooked on drugs. but, it's clearly something to note that one of the most self righteous pricks alive has been exposed as a liar and a hypocrite. fukk rush. lucky for him, he's rich. he probably won't go to jail like all of the poor people th...

Re: Gear Elitism and Reactionary Guilt.

physics and technology?? I think that music is fun. and, I for one am not necessarily striving for for that perfect equation, iron mojo sound that in the end is the holy grail and according to you guys, what EVERYONE should be striving for. having frustration or resentment, jealousy, or feelings of ...

Re: mixing down to multitrack tape

so.... I experimented with this a bit. here are the results: http://www.subatomicpieces.com/daw.mp3 http://www.subatomicpieces.com/tape.mp3 both the exact same mixes (not the best) recorded simultaniously. I'm not trying to test or fool anyone. I prefer the tape mix, because of the softer edge to th...

Re: mixing down to multitrack tape

i think it is a great idea, unless of course you DO have enough cash for bernie grundman. :wink: yeah... in which case I'd probably just buy a 1/2" 2-track and send him my 1/2" reels.

mixing down to multitrack tape

I'm considering doing some mixes to 2 tracks of a 1/2" 8-track, as an alternative to bouncing to disc. I'm planning to get a decent 1/4" 2-track to mix to eventually, but times are hard and that will have to wait. Anyone have any experience with mixing to 2 tracks of a multi-track tape? come to thin...
