Within the mix at least I don't hear it as distortion. It just sounds to me as though you're emphasising the 'h' in hair and consequently it stands out as being a lot louder than the surrounding syllables. I'd imagine some mix automation would fix it. Are you using the high-pass filter on the 414 du...

Yes that's exactly what it was! We were aware that there would be lots of coverage on the day of launch and wanted to make sure we had something useful to share.

When are you mixing and recording, are you saying that the volume slider of each track should not be above -12db, and that you can use the gain plugin to change the volume while keeping the tracks below -12db? I thought about putting my tracks between -0.6db and 0.00db. Should I not do that, and in...

I'm pretty sure the PM1000 was primarily a live sound console. The preamps are well regarded by some, but they're not super desirable or sought-after in the way some Neve models are for example.

You might find this SOS article worth a look. On the basis of my experience I'd say getting modules serviced and rackmounted for $500 is optimistic. Sadly the tech who racked my modules for me has retired. It is pretty specialist work and not something I'd want to ask a general electronics repair pl...

Also check out the McDSP APB range.

I think you would do well to take professional advice here. A cube is the worst possible shape from an acoustic point of view. If you enter the dimensions into this online calculator for instance you'll see there are strong room modes at 69Hz, 97Hz, 205Hz and 274Hz, plus plenty of smaller ones inbet...

D'oh. Apparently, I'm still a bit jet-lagged after NAMM...

Melodyne 5 has a Sibilant Balance tool which can globally reduce the level of all non-pitched elements in the sound. Have you tried that?

Nevertheless, it's easy to describe how it sounds on a vocal ns a few less words than that used and have a line or so that say "The EC5B is a 2U 19" rack unit with an internal power supply". True, but if the review had included all of the descriptive elements you're asking for, that ...

Morning all! We always have the problem of trying to balance the number of reviews in each issue against the depth and scope of each review. Personally I think there's merit in both the technical, measurement-based approach and in the subjective 'this is how it sounds and here are the audio examples...

Most clip-on mics for sax are probably omnis, though I'm not sure that really close-up sound qualifies as 'natural'. I think it depends to a certain extent on what sort of music you're playing. In a jazz band I think you'd be fine with a conventional omni as long as you didn't need to put a lot of s...
