Its weird reading this thread now when I have more experience with top end gear and more experience as a mixer. Like finding an old photo of when you were a child. I find that I prefer the 57/58 at 300 ohms if the preamp allows it. It feels like it softens up the response and makes it feel...

I randomly found a thread somewhere (probably gearslutz) and there was talk about the Symetrix 302. In digging into them, I found a handful on Reverb, with a racked quad up for $250. I bought them expecting utility preamps, but was surprised at how syrupy and sandy they sounded, to the point...

Send it to me, and I will figure it out

I made impulses of the 2x12 a band brought to me when I was reamping their EP I am mixing. Emperor 2x12s cab, with a v30 and m65 creamback. Sm57 on axis for the v30, Heil Pr20 off axis for the creamback, into a wa273 with tone (impedance) switch in, running pretty hot on the preamp gain with a...

Just saw this thread. Let me see what I can dig up from the cobwebs

Well, fuck my tits. I didnt know you were part of this forum, man! Is Samus doing all of your drums?

The guitars have (very loud) vocals all over them. Is this supposed to happen? Edit, if I reverse phase on half of them, it gets killed, so it appears to be the "OD VOC 2 U87" somehow got exported on all the guitar tracks.

Nice! I am playing with these now, and will upload a disappointing mix soon :lol:

Thanks for checking these out. I didnt think about it until you posted your graphic, but the highpass on the 273 was engaged at 80hz, which has a pretty aggressive resonance peak. I will make a note to disengage that for future impulses.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1SM42k444UoTWfW4w_ltVfapQ87gNsMq_ I am experimenting with impulses and wanted some feedback on them. The file naming is Mic>Preamp>Settings*>Cab>Speaker>Resonance-Presence setting. The mics are phase alligned, so should blend very easily (didn't check for...

I would say this overall sounds good for a drum sound, but I would say that the overheads are very overbearing in the context of a mix. Are you using rooms and overheads? I feel like some of the washy-ness would come out with a narrow notch. But for a drum play through, you want to hear the...

The mix doesn't sound bad for a live mix, the drums have the same live sound issues. If you didn't do any editing, you guys are really tight! Good job.

I am unfamiliar with "Woe Is Me", so I can't comment on the similarities. I don't dislike the mix. I do feel like the kick drum is taking a back seat to the bass (which may be what you are going for). Soundcloud does mess up the sound a bit, so that may be the artificats from the cymbals...

Since he bypassed the tone knob, I wonder if there is an issue with a pot, or maybe a pot value (above 25k) or the connection wasnt terminated properly and the wire is touching something causing a little bit of bleed to ground (sheilding in the cavity, maybe). But the DI box still is suspect...

Sorry. Reading everything again, it appears he was saying that his DI sounds nothing like the DI mentioned. I thought he was saying the DI was the same, and was trying to improve it, given that he was putting a DI box in place. @Aaabii Can you post a DI wav?
