I'm with Don on this one. In fact, frightening as they may sometimes be,
I'll take the original vocals of those tunes over whatever autotuned monstrosities
they'd be if they were made today. Maybe I'm a masochist.
I'm thinking in particular of an old tune I had once. "Like Maddy" or "Like
Matty" -- the most astoundingly lame vocal I ever heard on a 45, but oddly
charming in its innocence. Were it to be autotuned, it would be without charm
whatsoever.
I've been doing some work with a lady's band. She can sometimes sing in tune,
depending on how relaxed she is. We did a live gig that was not too bad.
When I heard the CD the engineer made of it, it was astounding. It was in
tune. All flaws had been removed. It was not her band. I feel like it's a
lie. It's like pasting my face on Superman's body.
-steveTurn mu loose.. in key. Now, there is a scary thought.

>Hey Neil, you know I respect you a lot, but I have to disagree with you
regarding Session 8.
I had it on Windows, (I still have it taking up rack space in my studio, and
I think it was originally a PC product) in 1994, (I think).
I don't think a Mac version came out for quite some time after .

I will be summing my drums and guitars from now on 20bit out of the =

Hi DJ,
hehe I am already on that testing route even with the L R outputs of =
other
than card's a mecs...
Regarding the headphone outs the one on mec A which is the main one =
outputs
all submixes, the other though ! output only the related submix out so =
yes
you could route it to another mec but on same mec you would get an =
infinite
loop of dry and compressed... because the time you will bring it back =
on
same mec that will be again outputed on headphones and then back =
again...
you get the picture ,feedback.
Thed other mecs option though will work !!
I don't know if you have considered the other better option !!
The L and R outputs of each mec (except for the main one) outputs ALSO =
the
submix out so you can take this L and R out and send it to a pair of =
outputs
(digital to Pulsar ??) COMPRESS it and then send it back to another =
submix.
For latency well you know faderworks ?? !!
Regards,
Dimitrios
