Pssh. Everyone knows that plugins are just as good as the real thing, that's why the pros use them! Right. And those racks are full of Funk Logic gear...

Wait, no real deal as a benchmark? Clones are the benchmark these days.

It certainly colors things. It distorts, compresses, eqs... I don't know what is behind it, it's a compressor of sorts, but it does more than just compress. Difficult to explain without hearing it. Pity he doesn't do demo versions but there's a video on his website...

I use his Gain Reduction plugin on every vocal. It's a great tool to rough up vocals.

Great song. Pity that Google gives away the clue which is which. But I like the wide-panned version more because it's, well, more wide. The wildcard OTB sounds more clear and full, the ITB smaller and more muddy. At least on cheaper AKG headphones.

According to a Mix mag review, the default is -16dbfs=+4vu. YMMV, but for sure the three jumper settings are -20, -16, and -10. You're right, I opened up my units and they were set to -16dbfs=+4vu. Except a spare one that I bought a couple of months ago that had 2 of the output channels set to -20dbfs=+4vu. Weird.

The Rosettas are connected to an Apogee Symphony PCIe card in my Mac.

At least now I know that the Apogees determine the metering in Logic. Never occurred to me. Goes to show how great a noob I still am

Chas, thanks, everything helps. Thanks also Pope, You guys rock. I have checked the manuals, the 200 manual says that the default calibration level is +4 dBu = -16 dBFs. The 800 manual doesn't mention any default setting. As I said, being ignorant, I never opened my units and checked. Guess I'll have to tear my rack apart and have a look after all.

The manual for the Rosetta 200 says that it is calibrated to the default level of +4 dBu = -16 dBFs. I suppose the 800s have the same calibration.

Ok, thanks, that makes it a lot clearer. The Rosettas have jumpers for 3 different settings, I never bothered to check the jumper settings in my Rosettas, anybody has an idea what the default factory setting is?

I go through Apogee Rosetta converters into an Apogee Symphony PCIe card, if that's what you mean by interface...??..

Need some help with the metering in Logic. I'm not a pro engineer and I tried to wrap my head around the metering subject for years without much success. So maybe someone can explain in plain terms how analog metering and calibration translates to Logic Pro..??.. Imagine you need to explain this to a 6-year old. In my case, I need to calibrate my Dolby 361 unit that I want to use as a vocal stressor. You know, that old 70s trick to send a vocal through a dolby unit, encode and return it to the desk without decoding it. I remember engineers in the 80s doing it but I never paid much attention to what they did back then. It just sounded great and that was enough. I have a modded Cat22 card that allows me to do that, but that requires calibration of the unit. The instructions say that this is based on +4db=0vu. Now, that's all fine, but which level does that equal in Logic Pro? I also need to trim the Dolby output to show -7vu, again, what does that correspond to in Logic Pro? The input to the Dolby needs to calibrated with a sine wave generator set to 1KHz at 0vu/+4db. Logic has a generator that I can set to 1Khz, and it shows 0db on the Logic metering scale. But, does that equal +4db in the analog world?? I'm sure it doesn't. I'm grateful for any help on this confusing subject as I have no freaking clue and I'm pretty much lost...

That room sounds really nice and natural. As for the video, maybe it was due to the weekend. I just saw it this (Monday) morning. Looking forward to more of these

Nice video, wiz, nice to hear you 'in person'. I love your drum sound, nice open snare. How do you get the room sound?

It doesn't just take a few seconds, I only get a white page and the address is still ozlandmusic. That stays forever. It doesn't take me to PayPal at all. Maybe it's the firewall or some restriction here, I'll try it at home later. Sorry levon try now please, and let me know if you have any issues. cheers Wiz It worked now, just put my order in. Thanks wiz
