I'm no drum expert, but I've been super super happy with the PDP X7 kit I got used a few years ago. I think they're somewhere around $1k new. ...

Honestly, spitfish gets the job done 90% of the time for me. I wonder what it's not doing that those who don't like it want. You're not trying to...

As RB stated before no one should be meanspirited to anyone here. If they are, mods need to know. I find people and forums go through phases and...

How to use De-essers was the original question. Even though I don't think it is what is required for this situation here is my general workflow with...

Depending on the situation here is my trick for multiple layered vocals. If I want a backing vox to blend and not be heard as distinct I may do the...

Nope. Same processing for each side. I think of stereo pairs of stuff as a single unit.

I've always felt the most creative/productive after midnight. I'm guessing it's a result of over stimulation by artificial lighting when my...

I never use more than one mic for a mono source. Any possible complimenting the mics' differences might be giving is not worth the hassle of trying...

Last year I heard a lot of noises kinda like this (though they were short and more metallic) coming from the other side of the neighborhood where I...

Can you post examples? Maybe let us try to de-ess your sample and see if you like it better. What de-esser are you using? As for settings, it...

I've been trying to figure that shit out for a while, but haven't made a whole lot of progress. Never new where to find info on it.

Well which do you want, freedom of speech or freedom from ridicule? You can't stop ridicule without taking away freedom of speech, unless you just...

For me it was when I was 12-13 and my friend's older brother showed me Linkin Park for the first time. I believe he showed me a few songs from...

You could always hire a hit man to figure it out for you. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (too soon?)

It's not so much about the gear issue or having to like someone's opinion, I think it's a bit deeper than that. But you too have the right to say...

Most of my rant pertains to the DIY crowd that wants answers to be able to move forward with their skillset. If I knew everything, I wouldn't be...

Well I was thinking that myself, and if you feel it needs to be banned, that would be you doing what you thought was right. That would prove the...

I wouldn't say It was an expectation, I just believe it's an advantage to have at least some knowledge of what you're recording and playing an...

your'e right, when I post something, I usually have a strong opinion when I'm saying it, then when I get back responses opposing it, I most...

damn, Garageband, you took it easy on me, I was expecting to get ripped up for this one. Reading back it does seem a bit harsh, I must've been hungry...

I forgot to add that when washing out the overheads to EQ out the other drums to make them less prominent in the washy version to emphasize the...

Who said learning another instrument was a bad idea? Was there another thread about it that I missed? If you're referring to our conversation, I...

Devo- whip it

To me overheads are room mics because they are distanced from the close sound (IMO). The further away the mics are, the more room sound you get, but...

I understand, I'm not trying to go against anyone's ideals here , just some forums have rules about how to behave, this one apparently doesn't.

whatever you say, someone has a counter, that's fine, but it seems to get way out of hand. It's like "if you are a sheep and you agree with all the...

well now I know what m24p stands for. I enjoy and understand all of you members a lot better when I can put some music that you've done to the words...

Kick ass m24p ! When I got my protools setup was when I decided to mix/master my last cd by myself. I had all kinds of newbie protools issues that...
