Monitors, Comps and Pres?
Published (2009-11-24 23:55:00)
Buy used. For monitors, I have a pair of M-Audio EX66 that I really love. I used to have Mackie HR824s, Yamaha NS-10M, Event T6 and KRK V6 and these are really impressive. They are no longer made, and M-Audio isn't a flashy name. I just saw a brand new one sell for $132.50 on eBay. I got my pair brand new for $400. For the money, I haven't heard anything that compares. As far as cheap compressors go, I think the Aphex 651 is the best...

MXL 990 $50 at MF.

I haven't done any serious modding to my 990, but I did take out those extra layers of mesh inside. Definitely made a difference, though I can't say it's a mic I use often.

How can I make this mix more...
Published (2009-11-24 12:55:00)
I wanted to add. My daughter walked in last night while I was listening to it and thought it was a kindof weird tune. I think it caught her ear because it's not at all my usual fare. I explained to her that I was trying to figure out a suggestion to help the mix. At first she suggested retracking things or adding tracks. Her suggestion for these particular tracks was to "bring up the second vocal, that'll make it...

I am trying to turn my practice studio into a good tracking room. Before getting too much into the nitty-gritty of how I'm going to do this I have a question.. I have the unfortunate problem of having to mix and track in the same room. I hope to take over the adjoining space as soon as the guys in there move out. Then I'll have an actual "live room" and a flat (or as flat as I can get it) control room. But for now I...

I think Frank Black's Black Letter Days has some mono, as does some Paul Westerberg (at least, he called a record Mono ), and I think that there's a track on Born to Run that's mono ... Then there's the Beatles re-issues, and the Beach Boys ones ... There's apparently a (vinyl only) mono release of the Smashing Pumpkins' Adore .

How cheap? Those Genelec 6010's are really small and sound great. $750. That's probably not what you were thinking. I have a friend who has a JBL computer speaker that sounds really amazing for the size vs cost but I think they're discontinued. It was stereo but they weren't separated by space...one clear little thing that hooked up with USB. You might take a run by Best ...

My first impulse is to reccomend the Alesis HR16b, It is old enough to be under $100 in most places. It has a ton of space on it. I used one for a while with about 10 very long songs I programmed into it. The manual is built in. It's on a flip up lid on top of it. It's pretty boring sound wise, not an 808 or anything, just sampled drums. I think its 12bit or something? It doesnt sound like 16/44...

1:1 (600ohm to 600ohm) would probably serve you well in this case. If you want some color, get something with a steel core. Or check out some frequency response charts for the trannys and find something that's not necessarily ruler-flat. New Cinemag CMOB-2S trannys are about $30 each. _________________ http://www.natedort.com

Hi, I work with a console, and have had a lot of...ummm...adventures in getting computers to play nice with them. I think that rather than 16 ins being limited, you'll be more limited by your 'outs'. At least, if you're planning on mixing through the console, you'll need something like 24 outs or so, yes? I've rarely used more than 10 in at a time, but routinely use 20 plus 'outs'. On the...
