Yeah, we all don't get the type of clients Nick gets. Fuck, I hate tracking vocals most times. Aw shucks... ;) Even the pros take time to get it right. At least with them, they know the target, study their harmonies, etc. It always helps to write out the harmonies in music notation. And a cool tric...

I remember Chris Shaw mentioning a plugin that allows you to check to see if tracks are really stereo. You might search for that.

You can always have the files on two mono tracks, and flip the phase on one...

Look at the "Stereo" waveform. Is it truly Stereo? Many, and I mean MANY amateur recorders, even pro musicians, record stuff in "Stereo" but with only one mic. There are also DAWs that you set if they record in Stereo or Mono, and the artiste may not know that is happening. Whatever the case, when I...

Hi, The cheapest and best, not the fastest: The Singer Singing it until it is right. Barring that, how much is the Vocalign permanent license or subscription? Melodyne I don't think will align vocal s the same way. right now they have that Vocalign for 99 bucks. Not sure if that is cheap enough for ...

I picked up another RedNet 2 on Reverb. Picking it up in San Diego tomorrow. My Focusrite Rednet 2 went on the fritz this morning, so while I waited for their support (which was only a couple of hours wait... not bad), I went hunting for a second one to replace it, in case this one could not be repa...

new pair of Avantone CLA-10A limited edition speakers. Active, Brown Veneer. Funky. those do look cool - I'd be interested how they work out for you... They look beautiful. Spent a couple of hours last night listening, and they do sound like the old NS10s: Midrangey, crisp top end, lower level bott...

Got a capacitor kit for my Hammond M-3 organ, to fix up its amp which is spitting and noisy. Also got a new pair of Avantone CLA-10A limited edition speakers. Active, Brown Veneer. Funky. Lastly, a used Digidesign analog to digital converter card for my Digidesign 192. So I can access my UAD plugins...

The farting is coming from the source. Move your butt further from the mic.

Truly sad, he was brilliant and funny. Got to interact with him a few times at conventions over the years, and online.

He will be missed.

You could get an impedance matcher for a dynamic mic like a SM58, and run that into a guitar BOOSTER pedal, which should give you enough gain to run the signal down your pedalboard, and not need phantom power. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LittleIMP--whirlwind-little-imp-lo-z-xlr-to-hi-z-1...

Here's somewhat of a white paper on speakers and what to measure on them.

So, submixing/stems and bouncing, playing with varispeed, hitting tape hot, setting bias for a different kind of sound, etc. Some of this will be subtle, like changing the bias to get a "different" sound. And "hitting the tape hot" is more a function of the electronics in the machine than the disto...

Thanks for sharing this, it could prove useful to me. Cheers!

Bought a Digidesign 192 and extra analog input card, for my old TDM HD3 system. I had sold off the converters to get the Focusrite Rednet 2 with a discount back a few years ago. Mostly because I miss mixing with my UAD DSP plugins, and it looks like they are going to take forever to port them over t...

I’ll be recording singer songwriter stuff with Vocal and acoustic simultaneously. Any input appreciated ! I'd stay away from compression for singer with acoustic guitar. At least not until mix time. That britstrip looks interesting. Just don't use the compression on it... ;) Which microphones are y...
