    CLIPPING !!!!

    he is right. because of 32 bit floating point processing you have basically infinite headroom as long as things stay 32bit floating point...

    Slate CLA Expanion for 99 bucks, worth it?

    haven't yet bought blackbird but i can def recommend the cla expansion. i think its super versatile and you get a lot of options with all those mics. i use it almost everytime i use drumsamples in a mix. they also blend quite nice i think. david bendeth is a bit of a disapointment though it's...

    Slate Virtual Mix RACK

    to be honest i don't know the design so i can't say how the summing amps differ. i'm also not sure if i understand your question correctly :) as soon as you combine two or more tracks and sum them together you'd use the mixbus plugin. be it for the mix bus, your drum bus, instrument bus etc...

    Slate Virtual Mix RACK

    technically the mixbus should be used on busses as well if you want to simulate the workflow on a console - everytime stuff is summed together you'd use the mixbus. thats what it is modeling. the summing stage of the console. the channel just models the line amplifier of the console channel...

    Need help with my home studio rig (PT10 bogging down)

    more ram wont help you with pro tools 10 as its not 64bit. in logic you could freeze tracks in pro tools you could print tracks to free up cpu. not sure if the hard drive would change much

    SM7 on kick

    used it on the inside a lot. attack is more natural than with a typical kick drum mic also a bit more thin tho. a bit more bleed than with a d6 which can be critical when you do drastic boosts with it (which you'd probably need in a metal context). nowadays i use a re20 which is sth in between a...

    DACs for 2014/2015

    though you didn't mention it i'd go with apogee. either a used ad 16x da 16x combo which still sounds great or you get the new symphony.

    Preparing stems for mastering

    i didn't say it sounds the same. its just similar because the compressor "behaves" the same. but it def does not sound exactly the same cause theres also a bit of saturation and harmonics which are missing in the stems of course. i guess it also depends on how you are using compression on the...

    Preparing stems for mastering

    yeah but if its triggered by the collective sum the GR is the same on every stem. trying to elaborate a bit more detailed what i meant: lets say we're in pro tools mixing a basic rock song. drums are all bussed to a stereo aux, bass is bussed to a stereo aux, guitars are bussed to a stereo aux...
