Long story short, the Mackie Onyx Mic pres are very very good. second best (at that store) to the UAD 610. It blew away the trident, presonus, and Focusrite Octo Pre. The Onyx has nice round, not tuby warm,sound without traces of brittle to be found. There new line of products are an amazing value.

oduction (parts of that DVD actually make me dizzy!), I was able to gleam a few cool ideas. And yes, he inserts a tube/tape emulation plug on virtually every channel. I did really like his Kick drum gate trick. It's probably DAW 101 for you guys, but my little brain needs those hints. Anyway, I think I could actually grow to like Protools if I had his setup. If only I had a spare quarter mil laying around somewhere. ;>) Tony "LaMont" <jjdpro@ameritech.net> wrote in message news:43bc2176$1@linux... > > Guys, this speaks to the PT DVD by Charles Dye "Mix it like a Record". > Great > DVD by the way. > > Charles spends a great deal of time discussing the great uses of > "Distortion" > and digital recording.

It's really so powerful you gotta get it. Here's the basics on recording automation one more time. Automation Recording Procedure using the C16 Pro 1. Stop the Transport 2. NULL FADERS: Using their Null Arrow LEDs on the C16, synchronize the Faders of the Channel strips you intend to automate with their Mixer Window counterparts (see page 214). 3. ENABLE AUTO: Press the Auto button on the C16. The LED will begin flashing.
