Good Point Brett. I think issue is when you bounce to a new track, the delay compensation gets turned off on the track feeding the record enabled track. But, if you have your tracks going through an aux first, then being bussed to a new track, the delay compensation engine stays on. So if you...

Yes the delay compensation is turned on. No tracks were in the red for the compensation, so all should be OK. Here are some examples if you would like to hear what I'm talking about. Original tracks before bouncing Tracks with everything bounced at the same time Tracks with the parallel...

Long story not so short. I tracked a bands drums for a demo a while ago and that was supposed to be the end of it. Well sure enough, they asked me to mix the drums for them and send over the individual tracks so their guitarist could mix the rest from there. No big deal I thought. So I did...

For almost ten years now I've been practicing through my PODxt pro and using the ASIO direct monitoring feature of my interface(profire 2626 at the moment)..which doesn't appear to me to have much latency..if any. That being said, when I go to teach lessons or play guitar at someones house..I...

Great mix Andy! *tips hat* I've been really digging Andy's bass/gtr separation lately. Maybe it's due to automation or less compression(or me), but I'm hearing more dynamics than usual from the bass on the song I've heard which I think works great with the track.

Hey guys, I wanted to record 24 inputs for a quick demo this weekend w/ my Profire 2626 so I borrowed two of my friends Motu 8pre's to run into my Profire 2626 via ADAT ports A and B to get myself there. My connections are as followed Profire ADAT A out ---> MOTU(1) ADAT 1-8 in(clock...

http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=182284 Pretty cool news...can't wait to see how it turns out! and of course with a blabbermouth article...another facepalm comment. "Andy Sneap has made records sound thin and clicky. example listen to arch enemy rise of...

Thanks for the advice guys. Will be stopping back to Joann in the next few days!

Cool, I am leaning towards Muslin..it's cheaper and everyone seems to be getting good results from it.

Hello everyone, I'm about to begin building my own broadband absorption panels and have all of the materials priced and planned out besides the fabric. I'm using Owens Corning 703 to make some 4'' and 2'' thick panels and wanted to get some of your opinions on what fabric has worked for you...

Andy, Have you found yourself not being as critical to the timing of the drums than you were say 10 years ago or once tight drum editing became more feasible? Maybe critical isn't the right word, but I've noticed on some of your more recent records("formation" stands out as one) that I hear a...

+1 on the '59 in the bridge. I have one in my Les Paul and it's worked great going into some of the hi-gain amps I've played through..especially the XXX.

Regarding question 1, I definitely share your frustration with that. If re tracking the section is not an option(drums mics are down, or you were sent this project), I usually look for the same section from a different part of the song. For example, if the beat in the second verse is played too...

I had a similar issue on my countryman(noise and some changes in levels), so I took a look inside and found out to be that the ground wire on the xlr out was loose and wasn't completely soldered. I sometimes let people borrow the di box and I figured someone didn't push the button on their xlr...

I've been finding myself keeping the snare more open as well. While I've typically gone for the least amount of ring possible, and I've found through experience(and painful trial and error) that if it's too dead you not only lose the sustain which makes the snare sound bigger, you lose some of...
