I'm going to start mixing a project next week where it's guitar, bass, vocals and drums. Out of 11 songs only 3 have doubled guitar tracks. How should I approach panning on the other 8 songs? I could do it Van-Halen style with guitar on the left and 'verb on the right but I don't really like that idea.

Almost everything I do these days ends up on both vinyl and CD. As I was never part of the vinyl mixing gereration first time around, I don't think I'm fully aware of everything I need to be for the format. Like:

- Don't hard pan or have out of phase bass (makes the needle jump)
- Pay heaps of attention to sibilants (these will distort)

Hola chicos,

What is currently the best-regarded noise gate out there?

Seems like the basic outboard gate is kinda falling by the wayside these days, as more and more ppl go to DAW's. Anyways, I need a handful of clean, fast gates to use on drums in particular. I used to use the dbx 900 series stuff and liked it. What are my options nowadays? Drawmer? Aphex?

Ash normally says something's discontinued when they don't carry it (this seems to be "Standard Operating Procedure" for them--back when I worked at Ensoniq, they said this about some of the Ensoniq products that were very current at the time.) Also, while doing a search for something else on Soundscape's website, I stumbled on a "3rd party developer" document for Mixtreme, dated 8/8/01--the pr

I was just wondering what everyone is using for there signal path. Are you using individual boxes or a single channel strip? My signal path for vocals is as follows:
BLUE Blueberry or Soundelux U97
BLUE Kiwi cable
tc electronics GoldChannel
Monster StudioLink 1000 AES cable
MOTU 1296.

Over a few weeks I have tried a few mic`s and here are the results.

The mics tested was:
Soundelux U95S
Blue Cactus
AKG C12VR
DPA large membran model
CAD E-300(my own)
Brauner VM-1

C12VR: Overpriced piece of sh*t...Not very impressed, looking at the price (in Norway $3000)

Jim Holland had a thread over in Craig Andertons forum at musicplayer.com where his song "Waxman" was featured. I felt I would like to try to remix it, mostly coz he boasted many tracks, and that I never had tried anything like that before...

I can find the Genelec 1029 used for around $650 and the Behringer Truth are $650 new... which one do you guys recommend? I felt the Gens very powerful for the size and with good lows and highs... the Truth sound a little more flat... but I didn't know the room at all and they positioning was quite different from one to another...

Hi guys.

Today I called samash to get another mixtreme

"sorry theyre discontinued" said the samash rep!

Now there are no phone numbers on the SS site!

I was scared when Mackie bought SS, I guess I had good reason.

Please SS guys, whats going on ?
