Members UstadKhanAli Posted December 12, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 12, 2008 As of this writing, eleven people have checked this thread. And I feel like I've let them down. I wrote nothing entertaining here. No witticisms, no nothing. Perhaps you were expecting a joke. Skeleton walks into a bar. "Bartender, I'll have a beer and a mop." Shortest joke I know. Perhaps you were expecting some deep insight into mixing. High-pass filter is your friend. Roll off the bottom end - say, at least anything under 100Hz - off all your instruments and vocals except for the kick and bass to clean up the mud. Declare war on the low mids, especially if you are recording in a small place where the low mids build up and sound really crappy. Perhaps you were looking for some really great plugins that are cheap. Blue Cat, Massey, Digitalfishphones, hell yeah. I'm here to apologize for letting you down. I hope that this post rectifies this situation and you'll forgive me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members UstadKhanAli Posted December 12, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 12, 2008 Uh... O'PM is code for opium? You, my friend, have just invented a new term that's gonna take the internet by storm. This is the new OMG, the new rick rolled, the new woot.

Members UstadKhanAli Posted December 12, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 12, 2008 For smooth sounds on overheads, consider using dynamic mics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UstadKhanAli Posted December 12, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hey, did you hear about the new FMR PBC compressor? If it's like any of their other products, it should be really great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UstadKhanAli Posted December 12, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 12, 2008 Does anyone want to buy this Orpheus A/D converter for my birthday? This got a great review recently in (I think) EQ Magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UstadKhanAli Posted December 12, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 12, 2008 What does one look for in a mic preamp? Fletcher gives a good answer: Personality, musicality and excitement. The pre has to bring something special to the table... even in a "general / overall" role.

Members Synonym Music Posted December 12, 2008 Members Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hey, did you hear about the new FMR PBC compressor? If it's like any of their other products, it should be really great! I did, and considering the creator was an Austin Community College graduate, we have at least three RNCs (maybe one RNP in there? They look similar) in a rack space to the left of the Daking 1112. They assembled the first RNC at the college, or so the legend goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UstadKhanAli Posted December 12, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 12, 2008 Let's talk about bits for a second. Not just bits of the bits, but all of the bits. Today's recording engineer is wondering whether to record at 24 bits or 26 bits (read about the debate that rages on here!). It's my belief that the discerning engineer craves the extra two bits that 26-bit converters can deliver. When are converter manufacturers going to deliver?

I do remember something about a college involved in this...was a long time since I've heard the story, though, so I don't want to fuel any erroneous internet rumors. Actually, that's not true...I may just want to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
