It seems like every manufacturer has jumped onto the bandwagon with these. I've tried a few, but can't reach a conclusion on which to buy for fear that it will kill my recordings. I might play out with it once in a blue moon, too. I just want to be sure it's as clean and quiet as possible.

Another question from the resident n00b. :D

I have song song where there are 6 people on the track. 5 of them are on a MXL 2001 + a ART Tube OPL preamp with a very close promimity(prox 3 inches. The last vocal is using a MXL 2001 + a Studio Projects VTB1 preamp (prox 6 inches. The new vocal sounds way cleaner. What would be the best way to make the old vocals or new vocal sound like they match?

I jsut got a DM-2000. The board sounds great. I know this sounds retarted but I can't hear the built in effects. I read the manual a hundred times. the manual sucks anyway. If you have a dm2000 can you please help. I am turning up the all 1-8 send on a channel and I see level on the meters for the Aux sends but I don't hear it baclk. Where does it return to.

I should maybe ask this in the Cubase forums, but I think this is a broad enough subject to ask here...

I'm a little confused about send effects, master effects, and the 8 effects that Cubase SX is allowing me to put in the track mix layout. Here's an example:

I thought this might be an interesting idea.

What if we did a workshop on a current song that's on the hit list, "Special Effects, Making Songs - How did they do that?". We could do one style a month from Country to Hip Hop. It would be interesting to talk about how and what they did to get that sound, effect, arrangement etc. of each song.

Sorry, is Valentino.
Anybody knows if it does exist a CD search for valentino sound effects collection? Thanks, Gorlizman.

I have a modest setup of a Mac, Cubase 5.1, a Tascam US428 and a Virus Indigo. What would be the best way to incorporate a Joemeek compressor,and a Lexicon reverb into my setup?
I am not clear of getting these outboard effects
into my present system. Would I need an additional piece of hardware?

Thanks in advance

Just letting you all know we added a Sound Effects Library to RO. Please let me know what you think of the set-up. I'm working on making the link better but for now the link is just below the banners on the left. You can listen and surf RO.

Cheers!

I am having a little trouble understanding the cancelling of high frequencies due to closeness of directional mics to the sound source. what's the relation between high freq and it's wavelenghts coming from 0 degrees cancelling at the mic diaphragm? and why does the dual capsule omni mode exhibit so little effect?
