Re: let's talk monitoring / accurate sound reproduction for mixing

thanks for the responses so far but as mentioned - i spent a bunch of time and money setting up the space well 9 years ago - hired acoustic consultants and built out all the treatments - so i understand the importance of all of that but at this point I am more convinced that: A) something is driftin...

they are both fed off the board
Do you mean from separate outputs, or the same one? Your DAW should have adecent frequency analyzer plug in (FFT) to look at what is happening with your board.
separate - the ghost has a toggle for an alternate output which is what the yamahas are connected to

let's talk monitoring / accurate sound reproduction for mixing

I'm on a bit of a hunt for how to improve my mixes with regards to frequency balances and am starting to wonder if the pro ac studio 100's (which I have so enjoyed working on and with for the last 10 years or so) are a little too soft in the upper frequencies so I tend to push a bit too much top end...

Re: "On kicks with different mics like ya do"

i bought a rca 77d this year and I've been trying to use it EVERYWHERE lately and it rarely disappoints. (also sounds amazingly BIG and quiet through the AEA trp pre amp too.) killer drum OH, upright bass, acoustic guitars, banjo, mando, amps ... wow. Also pulled my ATM 25 off bottom of leslie and p...

Re: Deluxe Yankee Hotel- a production master class

I'd heard some of these alternate versions before but I'm also enjoying going back and hearing how the songs morphed and of course we know the album versions so they seem "best" or "correct" but in general the early versions are kind of less nuanced/subtle and a little more plain in some ways. It's ...

Re: Hot tips for recording a mandolin?

My first thought is to use an sdc and a ribbon (Lauten la120 and Breyer m160) so that I can do some blending in the mixes. My room is untreated, but I have a vocal reflection filter that should help to get a more focused sound. Would putting blankets up behind him be overkill? The mando player is g...

Re: I don't need another ribbon...or do I?

I'm a sucker for ribbons and own a growing pile of em... Love them on drums and spiky sounds for mellowing harshness and rounding out... Digital recording is amazing but very pristine so I find using more ribbons and dynamics can really help soften the texture of a lot of sources and help create con...

how much snare do you want (or not want) in your overheads

I have been working on mixing an album I recorded here and finding that i can't dial in the snare level or tone that I want (on one particular song) because I have too much in my overheads (spaced pair of Soyuz 13 fet)... It's not an issue I've run into a lot. The part on this song is played with br...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....

I always wondered, given those kinda issues, if it's more difficult for lefties to play keys? Not the same at all. I have no issues with keys, drums, etc. Just stringed instruments. it is interesting how different people's minds work - i have an artist friend whom I've done lots of work with who pl...
