I was hoping you guys could give me some suggestions for treating my control room. I'm mainly having some low frequency problems but would like some other general suggestions as well. The room is roughly 12 x 13 with 8' ceilings. The good news is that the front wall is not parallel and there is some...

^^You should connect everything to 'word clock out' (individual outs)
and in your computer select 'word clock'

The only problem with that is that there isn't a word clock port on the 002. I wish there was.

Anything that's RTAS?

Damn, I just found this post. I haven't checked this forum for awile and missed out.
If you guys get together again let me know.

I've been looking at the Glyph G-drives. Nice but a bit pricey. Has anyone tried the Glyph Net-drives:

Looks like similar features but lower priced.

Thanks for the responses. I have another drive that I do backups to but I can't actually record to it for some reason. Does anyone have a recomendation for a decent (Yet affordable) hard drive with 2 firewire 400 ports? I only have one available output on my Imac so I need to daisy chain the drives....

I've been running Pro Tools 7.1 on a Mac G5 for about a year and a half now. I'm recording directly to a Lacie D2 firewire 400 drive. It's about 50% full now. Is there any recommended disc maintanence I should do on the audio drive? I haven't had any problems but thought I should take some preventiv...

Yeah, I noticed the mid scoop. I think I'll try to mix in a bit of SM 57 too for the mids if I can't get it with the EQ.
The D112 just seemed to have the punch I was looking for. It's the first time I've tried it on guitar.

I'm playing a Gretsch Silver Jet with TV Jones pickups and a '77 50 watt Marshall 1/2 stack. Pretty close to Malcoms set-up. After messing around for the last few days I got pretty cl...

I always think of the AC/DC tone as really simple in your face sound. I'd jam a mic or two right up on the grill, if it needs to be brighter move it more towards the center if darker more towards the edge. That was my first instinct. I've tried it with several mics and pres but it never has that pu...

AC/DC sound, My son says Angus said in an interview: I never turn any knob past 5 except the Volume, he puts it on 8. Most of the time he has an old marshall without a master vol. Malcom never plays barre chords, but uses very big chords on a semi hollow with a gravely sound, not much distortion. H...

I wish I knew how to get that AC/DC sound.

Yeah, anybody have any tips to get the AC/DC guitar tone on recordings?

Thanks for the response about the Iso boxes.

So I was reading that AC/DC uses a Marshall 4x12 in an isolation box for recording and live performances. I was wondering what effect the box would have on the actual tone of the amp when mic'd. I've always been amazed at how punchy and clear their guitars sounded and wondered if the iso box might c...

The speaker cab is some weird custom deal I found on Craigslist that has a couple old late '70s emininence speakers in it. These speakers are probably a big part of the problem. The sensitivity of most '70s Eminence speakers is around 97db. Get something like Celestion Vintage 30s or Alnico Blues w...

Thank goodness for that - I have a 2550 head and a 1960 cab - the amp was made way into the future and the cab was 5 years old before I was born - and I bought it new Good one! :lol: I think Marshall used model numbers that look like year numbers just to screw with everybody. They use model numbers...
