Any tips on mixing piano? The source is a Korg 01W so I don't have to worry about mic placement. I just want to avoid a muddy bottom.

Hi all,
I've been listening to the third Chicago album a lot lately. It starts with the last bit of an engineer slating the take. You hear a very distinct "One" followed by tuning, warming up etc.

It got me to wondering if people still slate takes, on the multitrack, and/or the mixes. Does anyone here do it? I think I may start, especially on my newly rebuilt 2".

what's the real life story of engineers and pot smoking? aside from general retardation, does the stuff really help us listen or does it just fool our senses? can we do critcal listening with it? can you answer this one honestly? if not, I'm sorry. walk on. . .

with all the talk of hits and mixes lately - was wondering if anyone has taken a good ear to Buckley's "Grace".

I never really gave a serious listen to any of the Buckley albums - yet it was the mix that I decided to "study" last night before a few hours of sleep.

I'm thinking about picking one up to be used as submixer for my digital effects(480L,M3000,DSP7000,etc). A while ago I used a little Langevin tube mixer for this purpose, and got a great blend without having to EQ my aux sends and returns as much. I think a while back I read that JJP was using a UA mixer(with the new 610 preamps) for this purpose.

I'm trying to locate EPROMS for the autolocator of my Studer A80VU MKII 24 track. Does anyone know a source for these. I haven't been able to get ahold of the Studer parts department in Canada, nor do I expect them to have parts more than 20 years old.
Thanks

Mostly doing synth & sample based stuff in PT/Logic/BiasPeak in my B/W G3- i'm asked to record a female friend giving relaxation exercises (in a sort of living room, at low volume).
I think i use my reliable HHB Pro portable dat recorder ( I leave my vintage but still good Revox G36 (736) all valves 1/4 inch recorder at home -i guess).

Hello,
So it was established that it was pro tools chopping off bits from the pt fader moves wasnt it?

I have a Mackie 1604 VLZ Pro (8 direct outs) and I was thinking about in the future, using the inserts as inserts and direct outs on channels 9-16. I was thinking about how to build the cables for this but I'm not sure. Does someone knows how to do this?

I'm asking for ideas on how to get to critical mass on this forum.
