Hi guys,
I'm interested in pioneering techniques used in audio mixing for the last two decades. I'm especially interested in innovative techniques where hardware abuse and over the top techniques are used.

- Extreme autotuning;
- Gated drums;
- Wall of sound;
- beat synced LFO's controlling sound parameters

can any one help me?

So, I've been using ITB verbs for a while now and haven't been unhappy, but I decided to hook up my old LXP-1 for grins and giggles the other day and thought the difference was pretty drastic. Naturally, it got me thinking about purchasing a good 'all around' reverb unit so I thought I would come and ask you guys for some advice and/or direction.

I am not using a computer to do/learn voice recording.
I have an AT 2020 Mic and shock mount. Sterling PF1 pop filter. A Mackie 402-vlz3 mixer and a Marantz PMD661 recorder.

I can edit the result in soundbooth cs4, but I am trying to get the initial setup as good as possible.

Seriously, no wanker opinions on this one.

Some personal insight and discussion on high-endDAW's and DAW plugins

I'm curious to see the results and to read any opinions on this topic a year from now.

Are you more inclined to buy hardware or plugins now?

What it the best Mic and Preamp I can buy that can get the job done when it comes to vocals? My friend is really interested in rapping and having clean vocals are very important. The problem is my budget is $200 total. I would really like to hear these items in action.

I will be regularly recording a panel discussion of 4 to 6 people (TV news panel style, but audio only). It will be a discussion / study group.

The people discussing will probably all have laptops that they are actively using, and some will have books / papers / notebooks etc actively being consulted, etc.

Hi All,

I had a request by a friend who I will be recording that we record his vocals with a hardware compressor in line before the signal gets sent to the DAW. I'm not exactly sure what the advantage of doing this would be other than his monitor mix would have compression?
Please stop me here if I should just slap on compression in the DAW during tracking.

Hi! I recently got into recording and I use a PreSonus firepod connected with Cubase in my computer. I was thinking of getting a little hardware compressor, reverb or eq and I want to know how I connect it to apply this new effect into already recorded tracks?

Thanks to help me out !

Hi i am running pro tools 003. i am having problems connecting hardware to use whilst mixing down tracks ie compressor! i have managed to get a signal to the compressor but i am not to sure how get it back and the best way to utilize it

Thanks

James
