My band was in a studio yesterday recording drums for our EP (we're doing the rest in my studio).

The drum bleed is absolutely overpowering.

We're doing fast heavy metal so a clear cut drum sound is essential.

Noise gates cannot tame this.

Hi fellow studio people,

I have just released two new kinds of windows VST distortion plugins: RetroBand and RetroBandLite. The other is free, the other very cheap, and they both can make things sound damn good (but don't take it from me, have a listen and try yourself).

Hello i am still looking at ad.da converters and wondered what is the best 4 channel ad/da converter that I can get for under a grand. (would like it to be firewire or usb 2.0 (preferably firewire)) I have looked at some but most i have seen have have 8 inputs and feel like a I'm paying for inputs that I don't need and I could get less better inputs for the same price.

…..Ah yes the time has arrived for another Sebatron quiz. :D

This time the prize is a Cygnus X-2 valued at over $1200 USD….
Shipped directly from the Sebatron factory….

Any R.O members can enter,,,, and the rules are simple and fair…just like last time ……..hehehe…

There are a lot of kewl and versatile lighting mounts for photography and it seems like they'd be good to have around for creative mic mounting problems. I've seen the studs with 1/4" thread on one end and 3/8" thread on the other - a 3/8-16-5/8-27 bushing could go on those and then a mic clip/shock-mount, but too many adapters and such leads to having stuff move when you don't want it to.

I need to upgrade from Pro Tools LE 6.4 to 7.
If I buy the PLUS package I get my choice of 2 plugins. The options are below.
Any suggestions?
I'm leaning toward the Pultec Bundle (EQ)
and a Compressor. Which compressor is better, Smack! or Slightly Rude?

hey all

does anyone know how to chain patterns together on reason? i've programmed a bunch of grooves and want to string them together to make a song now. been at this for a while and cant seem to figure it out. the help menu seems to be useless (i'm using reason adapted. )

thanks for any help

I was thinking about picking one of these up soon, and wanted your take on how it sounds on rock guitars and male vocals? I don't know to much about API stuff so it would be interesting to hear your input. Thanks

Hi anyone using the Studio Projects VTB1-RK ?

I'have just purchased 2 x VTB1 Mic Preamp and 1 rack kit.

i am considering buying a matched pair of Neumann 18x microphones and i looking for opinions and/or recommendations on which set to get. i'm going to be using them for drum overheads, stereo program recording (live bands, concerts, stage productions) and for instrument recording like guitar, violin, woodwinds, perecussion, etc.
