I know this is regarding DAW stuff, but none of the real engineers hang out over there :p Anybody had a chance to compare the new UA digital eq and compression to the Waves Rennaisance EQ and compressor yet?

A simple question.

The Parametric EQ plugin , regarding the
Q value in the sweepable mids, I can hear
the bigger sweep it takes as you lower the
value of Q but would like and can't seem to
find any info in the help file of what exactly those size those sweeps are at different values. I'd like having a mental
picture to go along with what I hear.

Not looking to generate a raging debate,...just looking for a quick, basic forum member poll.

Four microphones...pick one from these four...and say why.

OK, so I haven't even taken delivery of the MCI JH-24 yet and I'm already wondering about upgrading the audio path. I have the owner's manual with schematics and see that all the chip I/O is NE5534 and NE5532. While these are certainly low distortion devices, I have seen people pooh-pooh them on other forums.

anyone cares to share some lights on these:

altec 1612 limiter
altec 1592 mixer

any info.

I posted this at RAP as well...pardon me/I'm venting...

i'm looking for a great mac mastering software package - just the CD writing part,
not the eq and compression part. do people
actually like Jam?

I readily admit being almost totally clueless about digital recording technologies. Not having to support a family from recording means being able to surround myself with my favorite toys, regardless of whether they are practical, efficient or cost effective. I can happily play with my 30 and 40 year old analog toys, totally ignorant of the world passing me by.

Hello all, we've been thinking about picking up a 1/2" 2 track lately, as they seem to be all the rage. We're currently mixing to an Otari MX-5050BII-2, 1/4" @ 15 ips, and for what we do (underground & experimental rock music), it works great, and since it was free (save for the cost of an MRL and a JRF head report) we really can't complain.

Ive never used a computer for any audio application and i like to try without getting in to deep.
