  1. Shrouded steeple should be staired
  2. If Studio One had not implemented their Arranger and Chord tracks when they did, Reaper would be my daily DAW for sure. I too will gladly fork over another license fee for v7.
  3. Thanks @Bajan Blue (Nigel). I had a comment in another forum about the cymbals/hats/OH being too much or possibly compressed. I'm left wondering if you hear this? "You've got some great tracks there. But it almost seems like there might be a little too much cymbal and high hat going on there. I don't know how you recorded all this, but if you used overheads I'd look at using a high pass filter all the way up to where it affects the lows of the snare but not the detail. I usually put a low pass filter on there to keep the highs from getting too swishy as well. Finally, watch out for what any compression might do to expand the cymbals in the mix. Room mics can also be a culprit with excess cymbals especially if they're compressed. Find a sweet spot in there, pull your overheads back until they disappear, then blend them back out until you have cymbals but they're not in front. I think you'll end up with a lot more clarity in your mix overall and your tracks will be able to really shine. "
  4. After that all my Native plugins required an update. And of course, install available on the Native Manley plugs.
  5. UAD-2 hardware owners: If you own the Manley VOXBOX Channel Strip or Manley Tube Preamp, you can download the native version today for free! Installed!
  6. Oh, ends tonight. Purchased and soon to be.......
  7. The real question is, do I click to "proceed to payment"? I'm at max volume discount because do I already own everything else PSPAudioware.
  8. Last time I went wail watching I was over shadowed by a guy will a bull horn.
  9. Personality Exuding Neatly, Is Straummy
  10. I forget the name, but it's sooth or smooth or something like that. I like the way it shows the indention of channel/folder/bus in the mixer.
  11. Same here. Reaper is not my daily go to, but I have great respect for its low footprint/fast install, elegant track design (it's whatever you want it to be), no need for MIcrosoft C++ libraries and the active theme community.
  12. He probably signed an NDA.
  13. I imagine he was afraid to stand next to you in a pic, you being so buff and all. ?
  14. Last weekend I recorded my newly tuned drum set with my drummer, Ron, from our high school cover band and who both went on to play with Chas Sandford for about 2 years before he went on to become famous. Ron always wanted to play Theme For An Imaginary Western in our cover band but we never got "a round tuit". Since Citizen Regen did a cover version (of course with the great Hugo Ribeiro on drums) I decided to give Ron the opportunity to give a go with his take on the song. Ron has not kept up with playing for a few years so he was a bit rusty. After a couple of mic test takes of maybe the first minute of the song or so, he did three full takes. As it turns out his first take was the best overall and so all I needed to do was fix about 3 or 4 kick hits over the whole song. They were just a 32nd too early for my taste, being the producer and all. For the techies, I used my AEA R88 for overheads, Earthworks DM20 on snare top, SM57 on snare bottom, Shure Beta 91A mounted on a shock system in the kick, Shure Beta 52A on the kick hole and a Solomon Sub mic on the kick resonator head. Sennheiser e604 on toms and e614 as spot mics on all cymbals (hats, closed hats, ride and three crashes). I used my Sphere mic, in stereo mode, as a room mic and mixed the room using UAD's U47 modelling on the Sphere. All the mics were run into my 3 UAD Apollo 8xp units (I needed 19 inputs in total). During mixing I felt my Mapex Birch/Walnut snare had just too much ring and so I made the decision to use Trigger2 from Slate and I found a better snare sound that fit the song (for my taste). Ron like the results. Here is the final mix. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/8um1b4cj1kjvnq0n0tcqi/TheForAnImaginaryWestern-RonDrums.mp3?rlkey=8fjxn3p5p4lc40d3s7tdct2vx&dl=0 This was the make or break test on whether I was going to keep the drums and all the mics. I'm sure with a more solid drummer I'll get even better results. Conclusion: I'm keeping everything. But will be looking for a couple of alternative snares to keep on hand.
  15. Cue a) Fire - Arthur Brown b) Fire - Jimi Hendrix c) The Fire Down Below - Bob Seger My vote @bitflipper
