Quick and (probably) Dumb Question

Hi. So, when sound leaves a speaker, is the sound at maximum velocity or maximum pressure? Thanks, Seamus

Harsh sound from an SPL Monitor & Talkback Controller?

admin — Sat, 08 May 2010 22:29:10 +0000

I’ve been monitoring though SSL gear for the last few years but I’ve just got an SPL MTC for a new “ITB” studio I’ve setup. I’m still using my trusty Focal Twin6’s but when listening back to old mixes or just a plain CD the sound I’m monitoring is distinctly harsher and more brittle than it was through the SSL (I’m using the same D/A).

Alesis IO 26 with external pre-amp

Hey Folks! Do you know by any chance if it is possible to run an external pre-amp through the Alesis IO 26 without having the interface pre-amp affecting the sound?

Has anyone tried recording a guitar with a Tornavoz? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYzMp9uBrlo I am curious about the sound quality for recording.Apparently they heighten bass and sweet the highs, but at a cost in volume

Tracking out [sounds] that has a lot of FX

admin — Wed, 05 May 2010 20:10:12 +0000

Hello, Question for engineers and those, What do you guys do when tracking out your sounds that has a lot of effects on it. Some of these effects are part and make the sound, so what do you guys do? Bypass it and add it on later (or try too) or is there a way to work around this?
