I am currently in the market for a "high-endcompressor." Right now, I record everything into my DAW with no compression and do everything in the mix. I'd like to be able to get hotter signals into my workstation and also add a little bit of color before mixdown. This compressor would have to be one that would work well on many sources ranging from drums to vocals.

I've been the proud owner of a pair of Mackie HR824 monitors for the last year but now I'm considering something else. First of all, I record and mix in the same room, which happens to be very tempermental. I've treated it adequatelly with foam, layed down some carpet, etc., but the way the room is configured limits the ways I can set it up to only one.

I know most rock bands do most if not all of their writing in house, I was just hoping for a different poinr of view, but how is the job market for HardRock Songwriters?

I'm building a home studio and looking at the 001-i am not firmiliar with digital and my main concern is warmth--and the possibility that after buying the 001 the addons will kill me any insight or advice---can i do an album quality projectwith this for a few thousand or do i need to look elseware?--thanks

Three old sennehiser MD-441 in very good condition for 750€.

I buy it?

Suggest?

Is an mic only for vocals?

Best regards.

I'd like to have feedback from people who know this compressor .How does it compare to the Manley vari-mu

I'm going to buy a new PC and I wonder if anyone can help me what hardware I must have.
I will use the PC only for music/audio programs.
I work pro with Logic 5.0
Many thanks

What to do?

I'm tracking a project that unfortunately has me a bit frazzled around the edges.

The keyboard player is driving me NUTS!

He's a great player, but he has a tendancy to turn his signal up and down while tracking or during a live performance. He's trying to mix himself to blend in to the overall sonic saturation. (make sense?)

Time to start another little discussion on tracking with or without compression.

In the analog world the need for comression while tracking is fairly obvious. You need compression to help mask the tape hiss. As tape and analog improved compression became more of an effect.

Thats the question I need answered. If there are pluginsthat do just about everything, why have a compressor, effects processor, mixer etc? What are the benefits? I own a Lexicon mpx110, bellari la120, RNC and i just ordered my new delta omni studio, do i still need my outboard gear? :D
