This is my first post in this forum. (This place is really starting to take shape :cool: ) I would like to talk about the future of the "native" DAW. Specifically how this new crop of DSP cards will impact and improve the native experience. As you know, a whirlwind of manufacturers are soon to release their own DSP cards (i.e.

Next week I'll be recording a female acoustic folk duet. One musician is a vocalist/ fiddle player, and occasional guitarist, the other a guitar accompanist.The venue is a small dinner club. There will be sound reinforcement.

Does anybody have insight in the file exchange format AES-31?
Where is it at now?
Do you think that'll become a practical reality? Will the manufacturers embrace this format fully?
As far as I know Sadie is the first system to announce support for this file format.
Have I missed something?

Please enlighten me!

Best regards,

Micing Acoustic Guitar

Many people have a difficult time Micing an acoustic guitar to where it will sit well in the final mix. Usually, it's too boomy or too tinny, or too many finger squeeks, etc. Here's a little trick I use to record a mono rhythm guitar when I need it. I use an omni, but a cardioid should work almost as well.

It seems that everyone here has to deal with this eventually -- what are your tricks to tame small rectangular room problems?

I find smatterings of details for room treatments involving Owens Corning 703, but very few details on actual implementations.

What are people doing for a low cost solution? Are you hiring consultants to measure your rooms?

Adjusting The Mic's Response Without EQ

Most microphones are not flat, and the mic's frequency response will change, depending on where the sound is coming from. Maximum highs will usually come from playing straight into the mic. This is very true for cardioids, and even for most omnis.

I gather track arming would be impossible if it ain't got the locater, no?
