different instances in different slots. Then, toggle the >bypass sitch to test. I generally do... if I'm listening to something & think: "Hey that guitar could use some compression" I'm going to run through a bunch of compressors on the fly & see which sounds better for what I'm going for. Yeah I have a couple of "go- to's", as I think we all do, but I like to check different options out, too. So, workflow-wise, being able to insert & remove plugins on the fly makes a big difference to me. NeilIf you're talking about percussion & such, try Google-ing something along the lines of Native American instruments or Native American percussion... I recorded a Native American artist called Knifewing years ago, and - this is kinda weird, a total dichotomy in a way - we looped recordings he had made of tribal Shaman chants & percussion, etc. His recordings (and they were on cassette, but they were pretty clean) were of people playing instruments consisting of a turtle shell with beads inside it, a gourd with dried peas inside, a wooden box with deer ligaments stretched over a rudimetary soundhole... pretty cool! We looped 'em using a TC-2290 for stuff that worked better mono (we had the 7-second sampling option on that unit), and also using a 2-track 1/4" for the stuff that really needed to be stereo the old-fashioned way (using a pencil to ten
hing is not to fat-finger while typing and put an empty post up... sheesh Anyway, (and please don't mistake this for Apple boosterism, I have no interest in that) I discovered this week (some of you probably figgered this out years ago) that the iPod Classic will accept full-size WAV or AIFF files (no compression at all of any kind) and play them. Ok, so here is what I did. I bought one. Updated the mini's OS (required by the iPod) Then, I imported CD's as 44.1/16 bit AIFF files, using iTunes, and was rewarded with nice big (750 or so Meg) files. Good so far. Then I synced them over to the iPod, and indeed they took up the same amount of space, so there was no compression done there. And dang! I am playing redbook audio, in real time, on an iPod! Plays perfectly. Ok, now lose the earbuds. Get the Sennheiser HD580's and hey! it drives them just fine! Now, the first thing I listened to was the Telarc release of Faure's Requiem, and holy cow it sounds spectacular! No loss at all. And it occurs to me, that we indeed do have a very hi-fi high-density and portable music playback system here. No mp3, no AAC, no Apple lossless, no nothing. Just CD audio and the ipod sounds as good or better than my Adcom CD player. And actually, without the laser reading a bunch of pits or burns and the CD player's error correction going on, this may even sound better. So, I wondering, is there an spdif digital out somewhere on the pins of the iPod connector down there? Wouldn't it be fun to put a killer D-A on one of these little guys? hmmmm At any rate, I am now a bigtime iPod su

Jeff wrote: > Rather, we have been through this before. This forum is R rated or is that > PG nowdays ?I like the mix a lot! Things I would tweak: 1.) The kick - it's got a little too much impact for this type of groove - I would soften it up a bit, roll off a bit of 3k- 4k, somewhere in there. ALSO, there are too many of 'em... the double-hit every measure is too much. Can you change i
t up a bit without too much hassle (re-syncing MIDI, etc), maybe mute some of the hits via automation? I think if you did something like leave it as is for a few measures, then once the vocals start cut it back to hit/hit-hit/hit/hit-hit, then a cycle of hit/pause/hit-hit/pause, then repeat. 2.) There's something a little bit "cloudy" in the lower mids of Vikki's voice on this one... I'm not sure if it's a little too much of something in there, or a little too little of something somewhere else/a bit higher. I would try cutting in the 500-ish range and then maybe adding a bit of "air" in the 16k range. Anyway, something sounds different on the vox in this one than I remember hearing her so
und before - did you try a different signal chain this time, by chance? 2b.) I noticed a couple people said they thought the vox was too hot... I didn't mind it, but if you cut a little bit around 400-600 (if that gets rid of the cloudiness), then that might also take enough body out of it to where you won't neeed to cut the level at all. 3.)

well - both the RME and Mytek tended to be flat and neutral. The Cranesong sounded a little sweeter in the very top end air. The best of course was (I think - it's been while) a DAD unit (it was a $10k 2-channel that was used for reference). Seems like there was a Weiss in there as well right in line with the DAD - all the smoothness across the whole spectrum with ever so slightly more clarity at the very top. Actually I would probably group them with the very top end being the $8-12k range, then Myteks and Cranesongs in the $2-4k range, then RME and Lynx in the $2k range, then break it down below there. Imho, the difference between the $2k (RME ADI range) and the $10k is about 4% (rough subjective estimate of course), depending on what you rate as subjectively the most critical characteristics - to me, it's top end as that's where you really start to discern the most minute differences in clarity and imaging. My .02 at least. I'm quite pleased with my RME converters. I think they stand up well esp. for the price. Dedric > point. I've heard Lynx and Apogee converters and I preferred Mytek to > those.
