There's been some discussion on the alt.sekd board about impulse responses and convolution. Brock Stapper (also a member here) passed on a link to ["http://www.noisevault.com"]NoiseVault[/], which has a lot of user made IR's aswell as links to other IR sites.

Does anybody know how to construct a corner bass trap? :confused: Any design ideas would be great thanks...

Hi!
Do yiou guys keep all your studio stuff connected 24 hours?
What about MTBF? Aren't we reducing parts lifetime?
I know that it is very stressing for electronic devices if you keep powering it on/off, lots of start-up current transients and so.
I turn off everything if I plan to travel or stay good part of the day out.
wanna hear it from ya.

Let us start a thread on here of what would you consider the essential gear for a nice small project studio, limited to a $20k budget.

I start with:

i have a uad 1 card which has the LA-2A and 1176 as plugins on it. i've been mucking around using them as limiters trying emulate the real deal.

i get hotter, clean signals for sure. but i'm curious to see if any one would choose one of these if they had the real unit. or if they are not really for mastering.

i'm curious as to what i can do to make my recordings not sound like crap when they go through the radio's compressors and limiters and whatnot. i want to keep my mixes dynamic, but what can i do to the whole thing to make it not sound like crap when it runs through those compressors? should i fight compression with compression? and if so how?

Hi All,

We are curious to know what your favorite live console would be. Post your current or dream console on the Live Sound Forum.

Thx in advance for the replies.

Hi All,

Anyone using the new DP4 yet? If so, how do you like it?

Thx in advance for your replies.

Cheers,

Kevin

I'm planning on getting a mac with dp4 and I'm not sure does the MOTU 896 firewire act as a soundcard? if not what is its purpose and what is a great sound card to get for a mac. i want to use digital and analog in/outs.

Can you give me a good chain from say a keyboard or mic to the cpu.

like mic - mic preamp - a/d conv. -etc. also please refer me to a great mic preamp.

So, I have a drummer who is not good at tuning his kit. (this is the drummer in my band, not a client... just a home studio here)

I am great at tuning guitars and basses and wind instruments by ear, with tuning forks or electronically.

Is there anyone who could walk me through how I can tune this 3 pc kit?
