Hi everyone
I'm on the edge of getting into doing some 5.1 mixes of a liveshow for the first time, so I went out and bought some DVD's to hear, how other engineers do it, like what's in center, L+R, surrounds and so on. All I found out was, that everybody does it their own way and there doesen't really seem to be any "rules" or general guidelines (yet).

I have recently been shown this mixing trick (encoding) and am quite interested in obtaining a stereo setup of these units myself for mixing. Anyone know where these suckers can be found? I've heard of them selling around <$300 but can't find any out there now.

Since the Omni can't handle all my Input needs I have decided to purchase a Behringer UB 1202 mixer. I first thought I would just use the Behringer to handle the extra modules I had. But now I wonder if it would be better to plug all my instruments and Mic into the Behringer then go OUT of the Mixer into the Omni?

Hi All,

If you are using an analog mixing board with your tracks recorded on tape and would like to compress many of them but only have a few compressors would you record the tracks you want to compress each to another track through a compressor? Is there a better way?

Let us talk about macrodynamics

Hi!
Lots of things have been discussed concerning compression, limiting, ducking, expanding, which are terms asociated normally to microdynamics.
So let us discuss a topic that pop music nowadays lacks tremendously: macrodynamics...

What's the rule of thumb when it comes to getting a "good" setting on your EQ for bass guitar and drums? :w:

Does anyone know of any school or institute in the Bay Area (preferably San Francisco) where I can take a course in mixing?

I've found a few schools that offer online courses but I'm looking for a more hands-on approach to learning. I've read a few books by George Petersen and Jeff Strong but need practical training now as opposed to theoretical.

Hi ya folks I have just recently dived into recording my music at home. I record vocals and "some" guitar at home through a AT 4050 mic, RNP preamp, and Echo Mia soundcard. The rest of the music is done at a local studio. I have to say that the quality and fidelity I get from my signal chain is really amazing.
