This question is mainly directed to DAvid Herbert. I'm a very big pixies fan, and was wondering what are some of the plugins you used while working with Frank Black. My assistant told me you worked on some Metallica, which I assume is post Cliff Burton era? Any production method stories? What method's are taken in a typical Frank Black record? Straight to DAW?

hello,

i have an ibm thinkpad, p3 500 / 320 / 10GB.

1.) will this be enough for stereo recording of practices and live shows at 24 / 48?

2.) should i get a USB 2 or firewire external drive? (brand recs?)

3.) i have the Maudio USB Quattro - is there a better interface in the $300 price range for a laptop?

thanks,
mike

Hi Guys...

My BIGGG problem is that:

I do Big projects, like 40/50 tracks.. so i can't use low latencies, my buffer size is set up to 4096 and it's fine for me.. since i don't need any "real time" FX.. i don't use VSTis ( just record audio ) and don't need realtime effects 'cos i have my Yamaha 03D to do my GHOST reverbs/chorus/delays etc...

i'm talking about some kind of test tone, or test procedure, that will help line up balance and level for monitor playback?

seems i tripped across this info once in the past, and there was a link to where to purchase a CD for this purpose.

thanks

i am new to sound. this question is for live sound and i really need help as things are very confusing.

i am in a six piece band consisting of the following:

drums
bass
lead guitar
rhythm guitar
keys
lead vocals and harp

I've been recording guitars using the following setup -

surf guitar -> bug muff -> Behringer eurorack mx802a -> pc (Samplitude)

Somehow it doesn't sound quite as natural as I'd like it to. I've got a solid-state Peavey ~80W amp and a smaller Marshall 9v practice (toy) 'amp'.

Hey all! I'm new here.

I have a few obscenely newbie questions. I've been recording at home for a few years now, but it's all been trial-and-error, with varying degrees of results.

pre-1) Does the site have an FAQ? Or can anyone recommend a few good FAQ URLs? I come from the world of linux/oss, so that's kind of how I'm used to learning on my own. ;-)

Apple builds G4s with very little that's supposed to need to be upgraded. But what if you want a little more out of it? More power with stability.

hello doc and forum explorers (this seems to be an area for the brave... :lol:)

this is Dyno2, an optimized and simpler (3 knobs only) version of my Dyno plugin for pc

this time controls are smoother and extreme settings are avoided.
