Any clever comments on this?

A lot of time i get the advice from Master engineers that i should leave master compression all together when mixing.

This makes me wonder if any Master engineer ever done a pop mix(Not jazz, classical etc.)

Have they ever heard what compression can do to a mix/balance if applied heavily on a downmix?

Just curious. I couldn't find anything in the archives.

I've found Groove Tubes makes a couple (GT33/GT44), but I can't really find any info on them on the 'net or anyone who's used them. They're reasonably priced at least.

hey!
i've narrowed most of the stuff i want!
had basically decided on the MOTU 828 mkII but now i see the 896HD as dropped it's price to around 996$!
just a bit more than the 828 mkII... so... do you think it's worth it?
maintiger? do you?
one thing i don't understand is this...

I'm running Cubase SX 2.0 and I'm looking for a different program to use. I hardly ever use midi, and this program seems to focus around midi. It also doesn't seem to have a lot of editing power compared to Cool Edit. I use a Tascam FW 1884 so I want something that I can still use my board with.

Other than PT. is there an really good program out there that:

I've just bought a new PC and am experiancing major problems with audio tracks going out of sync in Sonar 3 Producer Edition.

Okay, so I am still debating between a PC and a Mac for my new studio. I am very interested in going the "Bandwagon" Pro-tools LE route with the Digidesign 002 firewire interface. I will be doing a lot of acoustical recording (vocals guitars drums) and some midi work with my Triton and X3 keyboards.

Hi!
I was wondering if anyone of you can tell what head phone I can use in my amateur studio as an alternative to a set of expensive studio monitors. Please tell me which one I should choose, and why. Max price would be $350.
Thanx! :D 8-)

I am looking to invest in a 2 Track deck to mixdown from Digital. I know Fostex and Ampex gear is out there to be found, but I'm curious, being new to Analog ownership, what can be purchased new and from what companies. Specifically looking for a 2 Track 1/2" deck, but open to suggestions from folks using something similar for their mixes.

Thank you for your time!

Funny, I just noticed this unit while browsing one of the online retailers, and forgive me if my lack of experience (w/top shelf gear) really shows here but, does it not seem like a killer deal for $1400? If a 6176 retails for $2200, it makes me wonder, did they cut any corners to achieve this?

so i live in portugal and getting here in europe stuff is usually more expensive that in usa
but i have a cousin in boston and she's coming for xmas... :D
she says she'll bring the things i want so i'm thinking of adding an extra mic because of my budget, and what i can save if buying there...
the question is this:
