Yes, the lisp consists of "esses" having the center frequency lower then what we're used to hear, they sound rather like an "ffff". That's why I was considering sharpening the sound at the essses. Neither of them really expected me to make them sound different than how they actually sounded though, ...

Tracking a raw (not pop) punk band - the singer has a lisp. I tried to lessen it for the sake of intelligibility and to make him look good. Mind you, it's the kind of band that doesn't look 'good' anyway, that's not the highest priority. So first I used a condenser with enough high end, turned up th...

Is the PSU changeable between 110 and 220 volts?

People, it's great on guitars or snare to add mids that sound like the signal was like that all the time anyway.. or if you want to cut harshness on brass or other stuff. Highly recommended.

Thanks for calling my attention to it, Joel! Now if it only sounds half as good as it looks... well.... there goes my extra holiday money..

I get finished CDs less than a few years ago...
but on the other end, I have copied unreleased CDs for fans that I was talking to who desperately wanted the songs... for example when the band has split up and wouldn't talk to each other anymore and the website is down.

Duh! I still got the CD they released back then... do you think there really will be a new MBV record soon? Or what's the reissue for if not drumming up some press to prepare for a new CD? In the meantime you could listen to the Fleeting Joys, maybe the only MBV 'clone' that nailed the sound and too...

Sometimes it's just the way the rest of the signal combines with your vocal track, the way the peaks and valleys add up to form the big stereo waveform. So, yes, if it sounds better, flip the polatrity button. Especially the "...and pushed other elements back in the mix" was a giveaway. About absolu...

For a shedload of guitars I try the following: lowcut, maybe hicut - if it's a less dense mix then you can be gentle, if it's dense, be brutal Find and notch out pickup and maybe speaker resonances. If you hit them right, taking the notch out will suddenly sound unnatural. Be careful to cut the righ...

Multing a vocal through an amp/THD hotplate/lineout/ampsim or eq isn't bad to dirty things up with some gain and tube reverb... Why more mics than you need? Because then you can leave some up with the second or third drumset in the corner while you mic something else. Besides, many mics will make yo...

GONE For trade is a ca. 1962-3 AKG D12 mic in very good condition. To judge for yourself you can download a 40MB package of hi-res photos, 44.1/24bit WAV alone and on a drumset (no eq/compression of course), AKG service papers (how to disassemble a D12, schematic, details about D12 versions, etc.) ...

Seems a lot of folk like that mic.

... except that "star grounding" is a band-aid, and doesn't always work. And grounding doesn't want its wires to run like the branches of a tree ... -a There's still a lot of stuff that can go wrong, besides wiring. Topology, interconnection, etc.etc. if there are other problems, yes, then star gro...

Interesting... Do this that stuff would work on other noisy equipment like noisy outboard gear? Guitar pickups and horrible wiring act as antenna and draw noise into the circuit. Noisy outboard has most likely other problems, so in most cases it won't help. It's funny how guitar companies seem to i...

Custom molded earplugs, because if you got good ones the sound that gets through isn't all lowmid and mud, but more natural. Your inner ear needs to have blood in even the tiniest of cells, so have your blood thin enough by drinking enough. Then your body uses up more magnesium when it gets loud, re...
