Still an apple imposed limit on sampling rates. 48/96/192. Hoping some various buggy behaviors iron out. New time code options are a plus. what do you mean? you can't use 44.1 (x2/x4)?

Jesus Christ! is right! listening to the tune in the distractionary juxtaposition of the horror flick going on in the video almost made me spit my coffee, it always amazed me how the message of this man has taken a backseat, waaaay back, to the focus on his torturous death, and the ultimate worship of his carcass nailed to a cross, very weird, and yeah i've heard "it's a representation of his sacrifice", no it's not, it's a representation of graphic gore in images that scare children, I was one of them, and i've been a recovering catholic ever since, catholic churches are filled with spooky images, I remember the first time I saw Mary with her foot on the snake, it scared the crap out of me and I cried. good work on the strings Chuck! lol thanks! I bet they didn't get clearance to use footage from mel gibson's film for that video either!

hey folks, just thought I'd share a project I did the strings on since the artist and producers decided to release it for Easter. A friend of mine who is an awesome violinist is overdubbed on top of my programmed strings. www.facebook.com/durel.hall/videos/10206385635383885/it's a shame that facebook videos destroy audio quality, but it is what it is.

Perhaps you need a pair of these, as they have Wet/Dry right on 'em!

Perhaps I'm not understanding what you're trying to do.. you're trying to add a gate AFTER all of your hardware inserts to mute them when they're not being used? How is this not what you want to do? Just automate when the Gate is bypassed or not.

can't you just create a Bus that has an EQ on it that filters out everything below 200hz and then stick your compressor afterwards and send as needed? isn't that how they did Parallel Compression back in the day?

just instantiate a gate plugin and automate the Bypass parameter...

right.
1) remove the crap you don't want compressed. 2) compress the remaining good stuff. 3) remove any crap resulting from compressing

I dont know if you have control of this johnkenn, but on the mobile site it would be awesome if the navigation dropdown menu could be changed so that 'new posts' and 'participated' were at the top of the list. thats what i use 99% of the time when viewing the forum on my phone's browser.

I track to a 2nd hard drive built into the studio comp. I have each artist purchase 2 hard drives before the start of the session. At the end of the first day, everything on my drive is copied over to the 2 external drives. Each subsequent day, I sync up the drives at lunch break and at the end of the work day with a program called Chronosync. I think its one of the best tools in my studio and I use it at home as well - fantastic program. When the project is finished, I keep a hard drive, and the artist keeps a hard drive, so the data is always in 2 places. I keep the project on my studio hard drive for 6 months in case of any recalls and then I remove it for space. In PT, I have it set to auto backup every min, and it keeps 99 of the backups. I'm pretty religious about constantly hitting the save button after ever few moves, but the session file backup has saved my ass every now and again when I've had a system crash, power out, etc. I HAVE screwed myself in the past while mixing on the SSL. At mix stage I'll run PT from the SSL transport and turn the screen off so I don't even think about anything with the computer. I've gotten so "into" a mix that I've gone 3 hours without saving automation etc on the console. Big mistake when the power went down and I lost that many hours of rides when I felt I was about an hour out from being finished with "the best mix ever" hah! In the promo video for the Euphonix Artist Control, they talk about setting up a macro button that saves every time you press play. Pretty handy, esp that its now an iPad app!!

Until we decide to value intellectual property, art will not be profitable. it has never been, except for rich collectors of visual.

yes. They don't back up stuff in /Applications or OS-specific files, like stuff in /system/ for OS X. but everything else is backed up.

How many of you have used Backblaze? Seems a lot cheaper than a 4 bay Raid5 array I use it. but i also have a 4-bay raid5 array that all of my sessions live on lol

cool, appreciate the advice! That clip sounds like it's live, so i'm guessing it's all DI'd acoustics...

All of you are wrong.

should be fun! it's for a CCM-type tune for a client.
Mics worth using at my disposal are: MicRehab CV4 AKG 414B-ULS RE20 Pair of RODE NT5s
Preamps to pick from: AML ez1073-500 (pair) VP28 (pair) Apogee Symphony 8MicPre card
Any advice for how to get the best sound? Track 'em in stereo? Double-track?
We'll be layering some electrics as well, so it'll be pretty guitar-heavy.
they want this type of sound for the guitars:

The room is 14x20 with 8.5 ceiling . Not small but not big . The reverb is like an echo chamber in there . Moving blankets were mentioned , never tried them but putting those up looks very cheap . these specs are almost identical to my room, which is 12.5 X 20 X 8.5'. The floors are wooden tho. I did this with panels and stuff on the front 2/3rds of the room. the rear 1/3 is live with no treatment. I have 3 rows of those panels on the ceiling. those are 2'x4' Owens 703 2" panels mounted 5" off the ceiling. it's GREAT for tracking because the room has a nice ambience to it now that's dead enough for mixing in, but not dead enough to making playing in it terrible. No need for a vocal booth either, because the room is dead enough on the side with panels!! http://instagram.com/p/sN-VSiQUTS

Jeff, have you ever considered rearranging the faceplate on the VP28 such that a DI jack could be added? even a TT jack, cuz we can get TT-Male-to-TRS-Female cables easy enough (just make 'em!) It's really the only thing the VP28 needs to be the perfect preamp I don't think it would fit well. There are so many killer standalone DI's that can be used with the VP28. Also, Dan's ZOD DI is really hard to beat. If you switched to using those mini toggle switches that Mike used on the Splice-500, you'd totally have room. There's a big mental block between buying one piece of gear that covers all of our amplification needs and buying two pieces of gear to fulfill a need created by the lack of a feature on the first device. Even tho the VP28 is a kit, the fact that it has a DI would make it sooooo much more appealing to potential builders because they wouldn't need to get a separate DI. You totally have room underneath the Signal Present LED for a TT DI jack
