    The Abyss studios guitar sound..

    As a big Abyss studio-fan, I gotta chime in here. Yes, from my research its mainly sansamp and rectos. He does also use Focusrite RED 4, McDSP MC2000, Waves L2, Danish Tube-Tech, UA 1176, and I believe it was AMEK Angela mixing console. I do really admire how Peter just make things sound...

    Suggestions for a "aggressive" compressor.

    Ok. I could take a big chance buying it, and hope that I will like the Distressor. Not too many distributors here in little Norway.... :erk:

    Suggestions for a "aggressive" compressor.

    I will use it for a final (outboard) stereo compressor. It is to be placed between Benchmark DAC1 (from my mac) into the Korg MR1000. Ok, maybe I have to just try a UA 2-1176 . I use the Mr1000 as a "mastertape" substitute ... on 5.6 MHz sampling frequenzy. then convert it to whatever format I need

    Is this a good production or what ? (Notre Dame)

    Thanks Fredrik ! In the basement? Well, the guy got talent in spades!! I have had some time listening to the Demi Monde Bizarre album. The guitarsound is a bit heavier there. It makes me think of a Diezel amp, very "scooped" :heh: Maybe I should save moneys for a Diezel Herbert, :p I...

    Hi ! Found an API 3124 on eBay. So, .... Wich interface should I get next to get it digitalized ? Suggestions ? I dont really need an interface with preamps then, since I will feed it right in from the API. Or only a converter ? (Apogee). I am thinking about Mackie 400F, or Mackie 800R...

    4 microphones for cab, or 3 or 2 ?

    ok. cool, thanks Keessi ! Well, havent had much time to experiment with the MD421, just borrowed it one night. But I really want the authentic sound of the amp. I have read, and also agree that mic-positioning and mictypes are the best EQ. Royer is after all 1300 dollars.

    4 microphones for cab, or 3 or 2 ?

    Hi folks. some questions here. 1. Thinking about getting 1 x MD421 II, 2 x SM57s, and maybe a Royer 121 for my cab. Too much mics ? Or I may not need a Royer ? or maybe even one SM57 and one MD421 could be enough ? 2. shall I sum the mic-channels to only one track? since I probably will have...
