Re: Softube Tape "It's time to get reel"

Bought Tape and i really like it. I don't use it on masters and i also don't use it directly on single channels. I use mostly over buses. I can be a little more aggressive with some stuff over drums and gives you more control than only at the master. I tend to put the same settings to every channel...

Re: HF Roll Off On Master via SSL

It's "warmer" because you've rolled off some highs. I don't think the SSL EQ imparts any coloration on the sound that would make it sounds more "analog" If you like how it sounds, by all means use that! Don't see a problem with it. Personally though, if my mix was too bright, I'd go back and fix th...

HF Roll Off On Master via SSL

Hi, I'm experimenting with cuts between 18 and 20K on the entire mix (before compression and limiting). I recently tried grouping all 20 channels from a mix into 1 buss and applying the buss channel's low pass filter at 20K (highest it goes). Seemed to make it a little warmer. Recently heard some of...

Re: Running an external preamp into an interface

Gotcha, thanks for the info and the link. Good to know, I actually am planning on picking up a ribbon mic shortly so this will be relevant! :) OK, I understand now - shouldn't be a problem as phantom power is designed to not harm anything that doesn't use it. In fact, it doesn't actually harm ribbo...

Re: Black Lion Audio interface mod? Anyone tried this?

OK Let me clarify - I'm not having translation issues like I was having last winter - I think I recall you 2 (Selig and QV) assisting on a crisis I was having (thank you) back then...since then my mix translation has gotten 500% better in that I'm about 90% there the first time I test it out of the ...

Re: Black Lion Audio interface mod? Anyone tried this?

I don't understand all the skepticism about me upgrading my interface lol the decision has already been made its just whether I would get a new one or do the upgrade. Thank you for all the advice though. So Selig are you saying that most consumers in the RME-grade market and better are mostly paying...

Re: Black Lion Audio interface mod? Anyone tried this?

^Selig, better mix translation is my goal. Reduce the number of times I have to listen in my studio, my car and my cellphone. Again just to rule out any ill effects of a lower quality interface (I realize it may not be affecting me but I was going to upgrade my interface regardless). I have room tre...

Re: Black Lion Audio interface mod? Anyone tried this?

^Point taken Selig. The main outs on my Scarlett put out up to 109 db of dynamic range, that is the main issue here (by the way my other option was the Motu 8 pre which puts out up to 112 db). My appointment isn't until January so I'm going to pick their brains a little bit first. And according to t...

Black Lion Audio interface mod? Anyone tried this?

I'm sending my Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 to be modded by Black Lion Audio - it costs $500 but supposed to sound better than (or at least as good as) UAD, RME, etc. Anyone done this to any of their interfaces? Here is the link for the mod on Sweetwater https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/BLMScar18...

Subwoofer Isolation DIY

I just added an Adam Sub7 to my rig and have it on a meditation cushion that is filled with a natural beanbag-like fill. Pretty decent weight to the cushion. Anybody know if there are any immediate issues with this type of setup? So far it sounds fine but I haven't really done a deep dive yet. Thanks!

Re: Help With Neo Soul Keys

Still doesn't work in Reason 10. This really blows. The MiniHost Modular workaround is pretty bad because you have to save the NSK patch and the Minihost patch seperately every time then delete from the rack before saving, or else it will crash when you re-open the Reason song file. Ugh.

Just wanted to show some love and spread the word for the Korg nanoKontrol2. It is an amazing transport controller, very tactile and responsive, and the pots and faders map nicely to instruments and the SSL as well. I used to have the Panorama P1 but I sold it and got this and have not once regrette...

Re: Help With Neo Soul Keys

So I got Neo Soul Keys running in Reason via Mini-Host Modular, but when I save and re open the song, the plugin crashes. Ivar - have you been able to save and re-open a session with Neo Soul Keys via mini-host, and have the settings stayed in tact?
