“but once I take it away from the snare sound, I miss it.” Yeah this is the truth. There’s a lot of stuff that sounds like crap solo’d, but mute it from the mix and you miss it, you immediately know it’s gone. On a related note, in my search for a good tape Stop effect I can across wave factory plug...

Maybe someone can help us both! I always mic it, usually with a 57 or lately the little clip on Sen 609? or whatever. I try to get the same distance and angle as the 57 on top. Then I hate it, er I mean gate it. (I finally accepted Fabfilter as my personal digital savior), so I use the Fab gate and ...

DYN LYD 48 with their 9S sub as I wasn't getting enough volume out of it when it went thru sonarworks. These replaced my B&W Matrix 805 with their sub (maybe ASW 2500? i'm forgetting the model). and they were powered by a Jim Williams modded Adcom 545. I still have them, actually have two pairs of ...

Trodden, yeah these are the standard ones. He also makes a surround version that is shorter. They ain’t small, that’s for sure. Repositioning them sucked due to their size but they measure pretty flat in the room now. I have a small dip at 80hz I’m trying to address with some more treatment. Maybe s...

I use Microshift as well. There is a free widener plugin from izotope that I just found out about and use occasionally. Also, I don’t know if it’s still free but softube had a small free bundle that had the Drawmer S73 plugin. It has a widening setting and i really like it. You can adjust the width ...

Yeah, I think it's Audio Science Review. The comments in the thread were all so smug and arrogant I was tempted to sign up just to go off on them like I used to with Jeff "$35" Robinson here way back in the day. Fortunately I'm a little wiser than I used to be. [/quote] Yes that’s the forum and yes...

Holy Fuck, those are cool looking!! I have to ask, what color did you go with? What amp are you using with them? What amp are you using for the Amphions as well? White suits my room and even though I thought about doing something really crazy, I like the white contrast with the black speakers. So h...

So, this thread is awesome cause I have literally changed my entire monitoring chain in the last two years and couldn’t be happier. Sorry for the long post: For the last 10 or so years I used the original Adam A7s along with a sub from time to time and a pair of little Sony computer speakers. I was ...

I saw a 'review' of the 805s on some site where they're all about the test results and measurements, and the people were HORRIFIED that the 805s don't measure perfectly flat. The best comment was "making mixing or mastering decisions on those would be fatal. Dude, if you want to be horrified / amus...

. . .because there's maybe one YouTube personality in the whole world who knows how to use a low-cut filter.

The Burl B1D is ridiculous. I’d have a pair for sure if I could afford them. I sold the B1 to cover my monitors and because I really like to have pairs. Based on this thread I’m thinking of building a Copper and then a Lola and going from there. Anyone here used the TG2 mic pre? I’ve wanted one ever...

The Copper is really great, and not just for the price. I've used em along side a desk full of vintage 1073/1066's and I bet in a blind test you wouldn't be able to pick one or the other out. All of the HB stuff is top notch. Lola rules too, especially with the 512 DOA's that the Copper also uses i...

Now that it’s sold I can talk about it without seeming like I was trying to hype it, but the Burl preamps are gorgeous. I had a B1 and a B1D. I have interface pres that are clean so I let the B1 go but the B1D is just so good sounding on everything. Just a tad darker and thicker sounding than the B1...

I’m with Drumsound, ORTF all the way. Since I first tried it I just can’t be happy with anything else; and it just sounds so right. I’m using Oktava Mc-12s that I modded back in the day. I recently bought one of the Dachman 87 clones and I’m gonna try that mono with the Oktavas. It has a really nice...

I’ve been on a monitor redo the last six months or so. I bought the new Auratones a few months ago and they are awesome. I’m still getting used to using them but for as crappy as they sound, they are so pure. You kind of forget how nice a single driver in a sealed enclosure can sound. The lack of a ...
