I am currently involved in a project where I am taking some tracks already recorded, mixing them and redubbing guitars, bass, and vox. My main challenge right now is how to mix, compress, eq, etc. the brass and woodwind instruments.

:) Hey folks! Since you have a limit to the dynamic range of digital recording, and wanted to stay somewhat true to power and the relationship of various instruments and orchestra, same for POP and R&B etc. ...
how would you plot out the dynamic curve using a level of 50 to 55db spl as a reference?

Does anyone have a rule of thumb for first pan setting at mixdown? I've tried several mic setups XY, ORTF, and Spaced Pair but I'm yet to figure a valid start point. Either I've overlooked the pan start points or it's in none of the reading I've done.

Anyone have any correct info on the differences between current 414UBLS, TLII, and the 414EB. I understand some of the early EBs had C12 capsules? Sonically what's the difference?

thanks,

Hi,

I will be getting a pair of powered monitors for my 001 set up. Is it best to use the main outs of the 001 or the direct outs of channels 1 & 2 of my Mackie board which is where the 001 mains are currently routed into? Any difference?

Thanks,

Dan-

Good. I don't know why you constantly bring HR into the discussion then. Lennart, the reason I keep bringing up HR is because of posts like the one I just saw in "The Rack" forum from dbx's Tom Cram:
