    Tracking vocals, taking longer than any other instrument, seeking advice

    That sounds like a workable vocal to me. The right post processing and it could sound really polished. I sent you a pm if you'd like to discuss a similar issue I had a while back and how I worked my way around it. It's just a voice that needs an extra push with some heavy compression and...

    Using a SSL Bus Comp on guitars/drums?

    Put the cla-76 bluey on my master bus the other day, it was hitting 1db of GR at most, but it adds a really cool saturation that brings the glue. It was on a fairly open sounding accoustic track though so YMMV

    Does using multiple amps require quad-tracking?

    It is possible to split the signal and run all 3 amps at once. but its also possible to hexatrack. all options you listed are valid, and are used.

    Different "styles" of compression?

    different detection circuits. some are voltage based, some are light sensor based etc. all have the same core idea behind them of automatic gain control, but the ways in which it is obtained are different, resulting in different characteristics. Ermz summed it up nicely in the mixing guide.

    Exporting files for mixing by someone else

    Pro tip: When exporting, name the files in such a way that when the user on the other end imports them into their DAW they are already sorted into a logical layout. Either by starting each drum track with a D (eg. D KIK, D SNR, etc) each guitar track with a G, you get the point. Or another...

    Drums: How to find the best spot to punch-in

    I often find myself breaking down the song into parts and tracking them seperatly. I make multiple tracks so I can allow the last hit of one part fully decay, while starting the next part on a new set of tracks. Then at the end I bus all the multiple tracks into just one set. Getting drummers to...

    Tried other guitars?

    Guitar Noise

    I wouldn't use a gate to solve that problem. A DI at worst should have a little bit of ground hum. Have you tried not using the power conditioner and monster noise eliminator? Those thing can sometimes be a bit whack and have a negative impact.

    Double Tracking Guitars

    In my experience the phase switch is dependent on the amps you use. For example if you quad track through one amp you shouldn't need to flip the phase at all. However if you do the first 2 through one amp and then swap the head for something else for the other 2 tracks, sometimes a phase flip is...

    Pro Tools HD Advice

    Yep,11 has a hybrid engine that lets the session run at a high buffer, with any record enabled tracks running at a low buffer.

    Pro Tools HD Advice

    I use rme raydat with adi-8 conversion. With rme interfaces you get total mix, which allows for zero latency input monitoring external to Protools. With that I can have huge sessions running on a 1024 buffer with heaps of plugins, and just monitor the input of the rme raydat. Something to look...
