Ok, since I just noticed the title of the forum has changed to Tracking and Mixing, we can officialy talk about recording too. I'm all for that, cause tracking is my favorite thing to do, with clothes on that is. I think the thing I like most about tracking is every new session is a clean slate.

I'm looking to get some patchbays installed and there seems to be a HUGE difference in price between A-Gauge and B-Gauge bays. What is the difference?

Also, Maplin used to sell a DIY bay consisting of a 2U pre-punched panel and circuit boards . does anyone know of a company still offering this?

Hi.

I noticed on the Lucid site, in the information for the new GENx6-96, that the list price of the GENx-6 was supposedly reduced to $499 as of Sept. 30. Has anyone seen this reflected in dealer prices yet?

here is the link:http://www.lucidaudio.com/products/product_genx6-96_info.htm

We have recorded our album using a Pro Tools Mix+ system w/ a Lucid ADA8824 & Digi 24 bit ADAT brg, a Mackie 8 bus, (2) FATSO's for tracks, and a VariMu on Vocals w/ a U87 mic. As we are doing hip hop/R&B we did not use any acoustic instruments. We ran all the tracks through the FATSO's in a few passes & recorded the vocals with the U87.

Which compressor would you prefer for tracking VOCALS to a DAW? If none of the above, what would be your first choice?

Please offer perspective. The comments I have been reading on other forums scares me.

If anybody is interested,here'sa URL of a mix I just finished that needed major Fixing. I think the drummer was playing to his own imaginary clock. And there were absolutely no guitar parts that supported the vocal either. So, I edited the drums and bass, and we re-did all the guitars in 3 hours on monday evening. Budget is an issue.

hey jules,
i heard in a previous topic that you use to monitor your mix with a stereo PT monitor. I guess you do this with an aux stereo input, busing Master fader to it, then output through converter etc..
I do this way too as i don't have a decent console or stereo monitor-pre to drive my speaker's amp.
