I was mixing a track today and there was very nasty hi-hat bleed in the top snare mic. Usually I let it pass but this was simply too much and I started tweaking gates and expanders with not-good-enough results. I started thinking "there has to be a way..." and here's what I ended up doing:

Have a HHB 850 CD recorder. Recently puchased a vinyl turntable.

i have a 160gig seagate firewire hard drive (obviously from the topic), and i have been recording to it for a year with no problems. at 16 bit 44.4 khz Using logic by the way. i recently started recording at 88.8 khz and it worked fine for about 5 "takes" each about 10-30 minutes from band practice. now all the sudden i get this error when i try and record to it.

Anybody out there used the Rane G4 quad gate yet? and if so what was your final thoughts on the unit. does it even compare with the Drawmer units?.

Ok i want to achieve that : "heres a kick trick, run a 50 hz. oscillator tone thru a gate, with the kick going into the sidechain (key input ) of the gate and dial it up so the kick triggers the gate to open and pass the oscillator signal "
i ve got my kick track, and my 50 hz sine track, but i cant figure out how to do a sidechain in Cubase anyhelp?

thx

My Drawmer noise gate finally crapped out on me after quite awhile of reliable use. (I bought it used anyway so who knows how much time it had on it with the previous owner). I'm planning to replace our studio with another Drawmer gate as I definitely think they make the best workhorse noise gates (I like the Aphex gates also...dont like the lack of a meter on the Aphex though). .

Sorry, I know this is such a dumb question, but i think i understand the concept, just need someone to help me solidify my understanding.

I have digi OO2 rack and Pro Tools system. I'm in the marketing for a stero mic preamp (comp, eq, gate ). My maximum price range is about $3.500.

I want to have a vacuum tube.

Any suggestions?

What are the ways you can use gates and side-chains to make..say a Kick and Bass really pump?

How would it be set up on a mix board?

What are ways you can make a whole track pump?

I know there are many techniques, any help apprecited.

I am in the middle of mixing a recording session and have a vocal track that is good and I have added some compression on the track. The singer lets out a couple of heavy breaths and also is stomping a bit on the floor with his foot through out the track, needless to say when I compress for the vocal sound I want these levels are brought up. This is only real noticable when the track is solo.
