COMPUTER MUSIC / Re: radiator - new soundtoys plugin

I have the sonimus statson and the basic slate vcc(just has the rc-tube, apparently the most subtle of the consoles modeled, 50's tube console) and both of these are quite subtle in what they do, but i have been using them both and like what they bring, although i haven't yet figured which one i like more yet.  The slate uses an ilok and the statson is pretty much plug and play.  You also have a lot more tone control with and statson, LPF and HPF, plus gain and the ability to turn crosstalk on or off.  If  i could only use one i would go for the statson, way cheaper,  more control and no ilok.

Also, i think there is a previous post about console emulations on here somewhere too.

Stoked this is out now.  I've been using the Lil'rad for a while, super basic but nice for getting things to poke though, chain a bunch together for some nice distortion. Definitely going to grab it's big brother.

i'm working on two different projects, while one is nearing completion it will stay at 16bit, but i think i will convert the other project, as it is still quite in its infancy, and a lot of new recordings will be made i imagine

will be nice to benefit of the added headroom

thanks guys

COMPUTER MUSIC / 24 bit sample rates

« on: April 16, 2012, 09:42:39 pm »

so after a computer upgrade, i've been thinking i should start recording at 24 bits, so the question for you all is, should i wait until the projects i'm working on to be finished before changing the sample rate or would it be worth it to convert what i'm working on now and finish working at 24 bit

thanks all

hey geoffroy
thanks for the reply, i should have explained things more in my previous post
what i'm trying to do is mix out of my computer through an focusrite pro40 into my tascam m-30 which is just a old analog 8 channel mixer

but i set up what you said and that was smooth going, the problem lies in setting up the pro40 now, you can make like 20 different mixes through it or something stupid like that so i have to find the manual i guess and read it?

oh well the reaper part is done, now just have to deal with the over complicated focusrite

best

STUDIO + RECORDING TECHNIQUES / Re: mixing tips

« on: February 06, 2012, 09:06:38 pm »

the best trick that i've come across is turning off the monitor, i find i can
"listen" better.  i find this works not just for mixing but  for arranging also

i think sometimes your eyes make you think that what you are seeing on the screen trick you into thinking it sounds good or sounds right maybe

i read about this in tape-op awhile ago and  didn't think much of it, but it works great
i guess up until the 80's the only thing engineers were looking at was the mixing board and maybe a line of coke   

this thread is a great idea, mixing is definitely the hardest part
