Ok, what do you guys do to turn that “nice” natural sounding tom, with overtones and everything, into something that would fit right into a Nirvana or STP record?

And let’s not drift off into mic placement, tuning, heads, etc. The drummers gone home and it’s time to mix!

:w:

I'm mixing stuff in pro tools and I can never seem to come to a stopping point. Normally after the first mix I'll burn a CD and take it home and come back and fix whatever mistakes I pick up on a bunch of different systems. The only problem is that I keep coming back and doing stuff and overproccess everything and in the end the first rough sounds the best.

Rewiring a friends studio and would like to bring in a patchbay. Having never wired one I'm looking for suggestions from those that might have been through it before. Our gear as of now is:
control 24
USB
MTP AV
2 888's
ADAT bridge
Digimax 8ch pre(litepiped to ADATbridge)
Avalon pre
Bellari pre

From EQ mag - Re OSX - "the switch is more than a matter of porting code over to the new OS. Digidesign's Pro Tools, for example, doesn't just operate as a software layer on top of the system - it addresses proprietary hardware, too. "OS X 10.1 addresses the hardware, Brown says, "Whereas under OS 9, the apps address the hardware directly. The new audio system is device-class compliant.

I'm looking for a decent pair of headphones to use in combination with monitors for mixing. My current thoughts are Beyerdynamic DT770Pro or the Sennheiser. HD 580. Anyone have a preference?

hello, Jon got some great API answeres here as of late I felt I should take a stab at one I have..

looking at picking up a used 3124-M, does anyone know what the differences are between it and it's newer model, the "plus"?

mainly intersted in the sound being the same...

thanks

To preface this question: let it be known that although I am not totally clueless about what goes on in the "DJ" world, I am still in the dark on some of it - and most "DJs" I know, don't focus on clarity.

I have been having to sample a lot off of vinyl lately, usually 12". Most often with a tech 1200 or 1210, with a Shure or ortofon cartridge.

Everyone, Mix Fest has moved to Mixermans' new forum over at PSW.

let the games begin! ;)

This seems to happen with most drummers that I've worked with. Does anyone have a remedy for this problem. I'm sure I am not the only one. Thanks!

Any users that would like to make a comment or two on the AMEK 9098 pre + eq rack, perhaps?

I will try one for the next couple of days but would really very much hear from folks that has used this unit for some time.
What sources/microphones have you used it for? any weak/strong points? value/money ratio? any other observations?

All thoughts are very welcome!
