Its hard getting the info that I want, everything seems to be rather disjointed, but I will try to ask the questions as conherently as possible, so you PT guys can understand me, the newbee.

Whats up? Could you share a few moments of you're time and check my post in recording tips?

Thanx

While trying to track down some 30 year old Telefunken parts, I stumbled across a German pro audio site. In addition to the Neumann and Brauner mics, they also offered a brand I have never heard of here in the US - Horch. They only seem to offer one model the Horch RM2, and its priced up in Brauner territory - +/- $3grand or so. Anybody ever seen or heard one of these things?

If I needed to achieve an extremely compressed bass guitar sound, and I only have a Joemeek SC2.2 stereo compressor available - is it possible to run through both channels in series? Can I come out of my mic preamp into the left channel input on the Meek, out of the left channel output, into the right channel input and finally out of the right channel output back to the console?

Hey all. Basically I'm looking for some interesting books, articles, websites, whatever with some info on sound design. Actually I'm more specifically looking for abstract stuff, like lasers, swooshes, space sounds, monsters, explosions, magic sounds, and the like. Stuff for Sci-Fi.

Not just for dust, (we use a very soft paint brush for that) but for the hand and finger goo. (Sweat, and insert one of Fletchers four basic food groups.) Not that we allow any food or drinks near our desk but we do sometimes get in a hurry and forget to wash our hands, Duh! ;)

What type of cleaner do you use and what is the best method for getting around all the faders and pots.

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.

Allright so here is my situation, I'm in the middle of mixing a tune and it's style is along the lines of Kid Rock/Crazytown but a little more of a live thing. I'm getting close to the drum sound that I'm hearing in my head, but not quite. So I was wondering if anyone might be able to suggest something different that I might not have tried.

I'm a drummer and I'm also planning to build my home studio. So, what you guys think about this set?
2 Marshall MXL 2001 (overheads, vocals...)
2 Marshall MXL 603S (hi-hats and snare)
and two opptions:
a CAD KitTrick with 4 mics (one for the bass drum)
or a Sennheiser E604 3 Pack and a AKG D112 or a Shure SM something-I-forgot :)?
