I just read a *great* article in the February 2002 issue of Sound On Sound magazine regarding pluginsthat raised lots of questions in my mind about how I am currently using them. (I love articles that generate more questions than they answer!)

Sound on Sound is a great magazine (U.K. based). Check them out at:

Michael Jackson's new Cd track#2...what is Bruce Sweiden and Rodney Jerkins running the song thru?

Is it possible that mic frequency response can vary with the temperature of the microphone? I recently used two Shure KSM-32 mics, that had been inadvertently stored at around 50 degrees F, to record a grand piano. These mics are generally pretty useful for the piano but the results in this case seemed better than usual.

ok, so here's my question/discussion topic...

how do yall deal with the fact that extra steps of A/D conversion make yr product suck more and more?

OK let em rip!

I felt it was time to buy a Tube Screamer pedal as it is supposed to be the cats pyjamas for rock gtr.. Anyhow the cool guy in the store said, FORGET THAT! Get a "Hot Cake" pedal (made in New Zealand) he said it is much better.. Link removed

I know some rock god producers have GIANT boxes full of pedals...

So far I ain't got ONE!

Hello,

I am actually bidding for a job to design some sound effects for a project. It mainly doing stuff like footsteps, walking sounds, etc. I am going to record all new things for this project. I am not the most experienced in this aspect but it seemed a fun thing to do.

My question is what is an average pay rate for a job like this? Any help will be appreciative.

Anyone had the chance to "test drive" the latest effects box from Kurzweil ---8 effects in a box?

I have heard that you can automate MIDI-compatible effects units using a sequencer. MIDI is very confusing to me, but I'm sure it will cut down on the number of hands I need for mixdown! There are a number of projects I'm working on that need effects punched in and out. What are the best (affordable) sequencers for this purpose, and does anybody have any tips on using them?

I NEED HELP. I'M TRYING TO SEND MY AUX. DIG. OUT TO MY LEXICON MPX1 DIG. IN, THEN DIG. OUT FROM THE MPX1 BACK TO THE DIG. IN OF MY VS880EX. IN SIMPLEST TERMS I WANT TO USE MY DIG. IN/OUT AS AN EFFECTS LOOP.
ONE PROBLEM IS THE MACHINES WON'T SYNC UP.
I'M ALSO OPEN TO ANYONE WITH FRESH PATCHES FOR THE MPX1.
THANKS!

If i were to save up for one really nice effects unit, what has been the tried and true unit from $1000-$2000?

oh yeah, I should apologize in advance for the retarded subject...

...sorry
