    New Audio Technica M50 X headphones

    I tried the M50s a few months ago when buying headphones. I went through the whole store and tried 10ish pairs of headphones and to me the M50s had the same problem as all the closed headphones, the lows were too dominant. I ended up going with a semi-open pair of DT880s. They would be a...

    CLIPPING !!!!

    Just to clarify, it is only the master fader which is pre-insert in PT, the channel and aux faders are obviously post-insert.

    CLIPPING !!!!

    In PT10 the trim plugin actually clips on input if you overload it. If I want to clip the master slightly I will do exactly that, feed the master bus with a too hot signal and put the trim plugin in the first slot so it clips. It can kill you if you don't know about it though. I always use the...

    Reaper or Protools?

    It really depends. If you are mostly working on your own projects and have your workflow worked out with Reaper there is really no advantage in changing. If you work with other engineers/studios however and work on projects where you only do parts it's a huge advantage to have the same software...

    Feared 'Synder' Album

    I never really caught onto the older Feared stuff but this sounds absolutely killer. Well done to everyone involved!

    Pay to play?

    That's not right.

    My band Hamferð recorded a video during the total eclipse

    I agree, it is absolutely crucial to the whole vibe. But you should've heard it without the HPF, it was way too much.

    My band Hamferð recorded a video during the total eclipse

    Can't help much with the video, it wasn't done by me and I know very little about video. But I can share how I did the audio. We had my laptop and a Digi 002 running on the back seat of our car, powered by a car battery hooked up to a 12v->230v transformer. We recorded guitar DIs and the vocal...

    My band Hamferð recorded a video during the total eclipse

    Thanks for the comments guys! I am really proud of how this turned out. We were incredibly lucky with the weather, the sky was completely gray half an hour before the eclipse.

    My band Hamferð recorded a video during the total eclipse

    Here's a bit of mindless self-promotion. My band Hamferð recorded a live video of an "acoustic" version of one of our songs during the total solar eclipse in The Faroe Islands last Friday. It has been shared all over the place and already has almost 150k views on youtube, so I thought I'd post...

    Clients From Hell

    We've probably all recorded the bassist who owns a too small bass amp and therefore never hears himself in the rehearsal space. That leads to him thinking that he knows the songs and doesn't need to practice so he never does, but when he turns up in the studio he suddenly hears what he's playing...

    ProTools shortcuts and behaviors you cannot live without

    This might be in the link in the last post, but ctrl+alt+cmd+w hides all floating windows(i.e. plugin windows etc.) and makes them reappear when you press them again. I use it all the time. Here are some other quick commands I use ALL the time, some of them are unique to Pro Tools and some...

    Should You Upgrade to Pro Tools 12? What are the costs and consequences?

    I've never got a PT update for $150, but that's maybe because I've been one of the guys who has been holding out. But yeah, I'm currently a PT10 user and I can get 11 and 12 for $200, which isn't that bad. After that I'll have a year to see how the subscription plan works out and if there are...
