Anybody out there used the Rane G4 quad gate yet? and if so what was your final thoughts on the unit. does it even compare with the Drawmer units?.

hi guys,

I hope I can post this in this section.

Does anyone know what kind of equipment the studio, "Compound Recording" in Seattle uses? For some reason their website isn't working. I just bought Anberlin's CD, "Never Take Friendship Personal," and I think the sounds on the CD are really great. Thanks for any help, guys

Hello:

I am pretty much a newbie to home recording. Recently I put up my first web site which led to an interest to high quality recording. So...after recording several tracks at a friends home studio the first piece of gear I got "sold" on was a Manley Dual Mono Mic Pre...

My question is. what do y'all think of my first home studio equipment list, any suggestions.

hey peoples...

I have heard tube pre's described as "starved plate" or "fake tubes" at times... is starving a plate or whatever inside a pre a way to get tube emulation? and if it is a starved plate design will it actually advertise as real tube technology? is this something I need to be cautious of? even if it isn't, I'm still curious, please clear the fog for me :lol:

thanks in advance

Re track 25 "Bonger Test" on Chesky JD37 audiophile test disc, recorded by Bob Katz:

When played, even at low volume, I can hear distortion (clipping) in the -3 and -13dB tones. When I extract the audio file to my hard drive and examine with an editor, I can clearly SEE the clipping. (FYI, there is no clipping on track 26, the Bonger Test created with "standard A to D.")

I'm using Cubase SE at school for one of my GCSE compositions.

Has anyone noticed that the same mics appear in a lot of rock videos. This is quite interesting, as I've seen several videos on MTV that feature those 'spontaneous' recording sessions with U87s for example on tracks that I just happen to know were recorded with different mics. Of course you see a lot of SM58s as well, but I can understand that if people want to get a sort of 'live' look.

I have the Zoom PS-04 digital recorder.*Without using a computer*, can I use a CD copier to burn the work from the PS-04 straight onto CD? I'll appreciate the help. :?
