Wow, what are you guys talking about? I'm amazed by your technical knowledge, I'm just happy I'm able to switch on my gear. (pulls off hat)

Yeah, scratch vocals are what I call them. The singer better have a good excuse not to get some keeper tracks as the band tracks though! R I haven't finished the lyrics.

I think I have seen this before, but one can never get enough - it's a great story on a great console. Love those vids! Thanks for sharing Tony.

How did the radio stations do it... Why cant the net follow suite? The problem is exactly like AD put it, make it like the movies. The problem is the song or album gets streamed in great quality the first week it's out so there is almost NO chance of it making money. Again what did the radio stations pay the record company/artist per play ? Uhm, wasn't it the record companies that paid the radio stations with the artists' money???

If you crack the jackpot, you can buy RGO and all future meetings will be in Germany!

Nice, but I'm getting tired of this crap that forces me to sign up to Facebook/Twitter/Whatever first. No thanks. I'd rather buy the comp.

The 'eye-candy' almost got me one day also... but then I came to my senses after a decent slap upside the head from CN. The bling factor is hard to resist at times. I love my STA Level, it sounds like a million bucks, looks like a tall glass of water in red stiletto pumps and reminds me of Jane Harlow. When you look at Shadow Hills you want (I want) to have that wet in the pants Retro experience. It just doesn't happen. The 176,the STA, they give you that euphoric buzz. Shadow Hills is great on a first date, but when it comes to the drive in, you get stuck holding hands. This made me lol, but you hit the nail on the head. Still trying to picture that glass of water in red stilettos....

I get a kick out of all the bigwig engineers who talk about how they've moved entirely ITB while being interviewed with one of these behind them lol Lol, a box is a box, even if it says SSL

Thanks Håkan.Interesting comment about your DBX 160. I'm always on the lookout for the hardware, but if the UAD comes that close, I might have to think again.
BTW, for those interested in Boz' Compex, it's on sale now for $99.

That trick doesn't muffle the drum at all when it is hit or the decay time either. Eddie said that people have tried to come up with expensive ones that look all fancy to sell, but none of them have worked right ye. So, he continues with doing it like that. It sure as heck works, I can tell you that! R Thanks for the tip Randge, I'll try that. I was a bit concerned it might also dampen the decay of the toms, but if it doesn't, it'll make life a lot easier.

So Håkan, what's the verdict drumrec? Downloaded the demo and, unfortunately, it does not suck on my drum tracks. Looks like I'll have to get this.

Just got un-lazy enough to open up the files...and damn...I guess a million dollar mic locker DOES make a difference. Or maybe it was the engineer...Anyway, they're the best drum tracks I've ever gotten anywhere. You guys interested in me uploading a snippet of a song's drum tracks? If so, how would you want it? All tracks separately so you can download and hear? Or just a board mix without any processing? If anyone is interested, I could link a zip file with all the files and you could load it in and hear for yourself. Also, maybe just a board mix of the drums by themselves...Lemme know. I am very interested in the mic placement.... Thanks! +1. That room sounds great

I agree, Greg's stuff is amazing. I own the ubk-1 and Clariphonic DSP, both are highly recommended. I wish ubk would post here a bit more, hint hint...

Lol, Tony, I certainly hope to hear from you soon... Hell, I'm still on 10.6.8 and I have no intention of moving away from that. That plug looks nice though. But, you know what, I feel these things are like free drugs from a dealer, once you get hooked, you come back for more. And pay.

So my VP28 is up and running. 8) Here ya go. Acoustic is VP28 with both knobs at 12pm. No HPF engaged. Shaker is VP28 with both knobs at 12pm No HPF engaged both of those are mic'd with a KM84, Acoustic is Taylor Mini Mahogany. The vocal is U87 into 1073 DMP into Drip STA and the Resonator is a MD421 into 1073 DMP This is a fader up mix. NO EQ or Dynamics on ANYTHING other than the STA on the vocal during tracking. all channels are open all the time, to show the noise floor. just two verbs sounds bloody good to me 8) dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13120658/wish.mp3cheers Wiz Your voice, character for days man! i hate you! 8) Everything sounds tops bromee. Lol, what Tony said. Love your voice, man. wiz, where can I get a proper copy of that track?
