I have worked out a system of keeping mastered and un-masterd copies of my mixes.

Confessions:

For a few years I used a Finalizer on all mixes, totaly maxed out.

I gave that up in favor of mastering in a DAW, I auditioned Waves plugins directly against the Finalizer and Waves won (for EQ anyway) They were less harsh.

AKG is going to make a new version of the 451. No teeny threads on the capsule. I think they will be non-removable capsules, cardioid only (BOO).

The electronics are descended from the AKG Blue Line, and there will be 2 low cuts, and a 2 position attenuator, unlike the screw-in capacitive pads that Stephen Paul says messed up the frequency response on original 451's.

I'd love to get my hands on a Telefunken/Siemens U273 schematic. Especially since I picked one up on e-bay that appears to be D.O.A. I'll gladly reimburse someone a reasonable sum if they can photocopy and mail me one. Or be ever grateful to be pointed in the right direction on my quest. Thanks!

I just installed XP...everything is great so far. However,under the Device Manager and under Sound,video... there is one of the Yellow Exclamation symbols on a "unknown Device" there are no drivers for it...is that normal? I thought if there was NO device it would not even show up? Or is it just saying there is space for something else?

After completing the mastodont mixing job you may witness at I now find myself with a few minutes left over for MixFest.

I am starting up a brand new free email newsletter dedicated to tips on recording. The idea is to bring you pearls of wisdom from both professional and amateur recording engineers and artists to help you get the most out of your equipment.
I am looking for articles to put in the newsletter - the author getting a plug for their latest project, or whatever they like.

I know I asked you this before so please give me a refresher.
