I'm about to get an opto-compressor for vocal-tracking as it's primary use. I have lots of comps but not one with an optical gainreduction element. My most commonly used mic/pre combination is my vintage Neumann bottle with M7 capsule and 1073 pre.

First, do you think I should go for a discrete LA-3 style compressor like the Langevin LOP or a LA-2 style tube design. I'm looking at:

Events have had a cult following for years now - and rightfully so. Their 20/20 BAS was probably one of the most groundbreaking products to hit monitors since the Alesis (not saying I like the Alesis, but it does hold a certain place in history for providing garage engineers a monitoring solution that wouldn't break the bank.)

hey all whats up, its me again raiphord
i took some advice from someone in here but i dont remember who.

My goal is to have a very quiet machine as I will be doing some tracking in the same room. This is the first computer I’ve built. Hopefully I have enough technical skill to put this thing together. :lol: After spending some time researching previous posts on RO (which have been a great source of info!), this is what I’ve come up with:

i've just discovered i have this synth on my computer if anyone know's anything about it or know's what i can do with it i would like to know as maybe i can use it for midi thanks

Hey gang.

I wasn't sure where to put this topic at, it depends on the answer i get..

I've been reading about side chaining thru compressors and got a general idea of process and applications..

The ' ducking" concept i get

my question is more on the use of the EQ on side chain, with say the "de essing" solution..

Found this cool link about side chain plug in, guy used a combination of 20 plus plugins to get the results

coll ideas for you Waves pluggers

I'm about to buy my first pair of studio monitors. I made a research 6-7 months ago for getting a pair and I was finally set on the Yamaha MSP5's. I didnt get them though cause something personal happened and my initial budget had to be spend on something else.

Hi all,
I'm thinking of buying a Brauner VM1 to use with my Avalon 737 going straight to my ApogeeAD 16X and in to my pc. .
But it's a little bit scary that I can't find nothing on the internet about the duo 737/VM1. The mic is a bit too expansive to gamble, so please give me some input on this one!
