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?

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.

Not looking to generate a raging debate,...just looking for a quick, basic forum member poll.

Four microphones...pick one from these four...and say why.

OK, so I haven't even taken delivery of the MCI JH-24 yet and I'm already wondering about upgrading the audio path. I have the owner's manual with schematics and see that all the chip I/O is NE5534 and NE5532. While these are certainly low distortion devices, I have seen people pooh-pooh them on other forums.

anyone cares to share some lights on these:

altec 1612 limiter
altec 1592 mixer

any info.

I posted this at RAP as well...pardon me/I'm venting...

i'm looking for a great mac mastering software package - just the CD writing part,
not the eq and compression part. do people
actually like Jam?

I readily admit being almost totally clueless about digital recording technologies. Not having to support a family from recording means being able to surround myself with my favorite toys, regardless of whether they are practical, efficient or cost effective. I can happily play with my 30 and 40 year old analog toys, totally ignorant of the world passing me by.

Hello all, we've been thinking about picking up a 1/2" 2 track lately, as they seem to be all the rage. We're currently mixing to an Otari MX-5050BII-2, 1/4" @ 15 ips, and for what we do (underground & experimental rock music), it works great, and since it was free (save for the cost of an MRL and a JRF head report) we really can't complain.
