A bargain for $30 bucks. They work great for decoupling the speakers from
the desk or stand.

Set them on top of some 3/4" trim wood for an additional 10mm or so.

Yep, that's him. Although he is from Brooklyn and now resides in NJ, the
DC market has always been very good to him...he plays there rather frequently.
In fact, we were there a couple of months ago for a mothers day concert.

>Hi,
I'm interested in adding another EDS card, but there's a chance that if I
manage to get hold of one it won't have the cable to connect it to another
EDS. Is this a specific cable type or will some generic cable do the job?
If so, which one / what are the specs? (In in the UK).
BTW, if anyone has a spare cable or card... let me know...

Thanks,
DanielStrangely worldclock is something that's totally escaped my radar over the
years and some recent comments about high quality external worldclock sources
has got me wondering whether it's something I should be doing something about.


I mostly use the analogue inputs of paris, but occasionally use the SPDIF
(Johnson J-Station / Pod, etc) and sometimes the adat as inputs (korg oasys
/ event gina). I've not really dabbled with MIDI, but may have to increasingly.
As far as I know Paris has always been the master clock (I'm not at the machine
now).

Am I doing anything wrong... or can I continue recording without something
else to worry about!

Thanks,

Yep... I've even asked the Izotope guys if they could strip out
the code for all the other features of the Ozone so that one
could mix with the spatial enhancer inserted & not have my
computer just plain stop working :) and they said they'd
actually considered it. Maybe they'll go beyond considering it
& release that as a separate plugin... that would be handy.


>Can you describe the Bedini Audio Spatial box more?

Aparently John Bedini still makes it (it used to be mfg'd by a
now-defunct company called Gamma Electronics):

http://www.bedini.com/base.htm

It B.A.S.E.-ically :) would allow you to do enhanced stereo to
the extent where you could place things well outside the
speakers... There was an album called "Storm Alert" from a
thrash-metal group called Torture that I engineered I did,
called Torture... though it's not something I'd say was a great
production overall (OK, I guess for the genre it might have
been appropriate at the time, but IMO they wanted it very much
"rough-edged", and it coulda been a little more polished & it
wouldn't have hurt), there were a few cool "Bedini moments" -
for example, the drummer had one of those enormous kits with
like 8 toms - when he did a roll across all or most of them
(using the Bedini unit across the mix) it sounded like they
would come from behind you & up above in the back corner of the
room, to across the front downward at an angle, and finish up
in the opposite lower corner of the room back behind you again.
This is just with the two regular front stereo speakers, BTW;
not surround sound of any kind.
Neil Kernon recently did a remix of that album (I guess they
have a strong enough cult following to justify a re-release of
an album that old), and I don't imagine he used a Bedini on it,
so if you happen to come across one of those versions, you most
likely won't be able to hear it on that; but if you've got any
friends that are fans of vintage Thrash, ask 'em if they have
that CD & you'll see what I'm talking about on some of the big
tom rolls.

On another project (from a different group altogether), the
band wanted a helicopter flying around... so we got a
helicopter SFX track & made it fly around outside the room;
dead serious here, if you didn't know that effect was coming up,
you'd rush over to the windows & start looking around for this
chopper that sounded like it was circling the building.

On yet another project, this other band had a song called
"Agent Orange", and they wanted a jet fly-by effect with bombs
dropping... same kind of idea there - got the SFX clips &
processed them through the Bedini, and with only two speakers
it was almost like you were listening to surround sound as it
came up from beind you one one side & exited the front of the
soundfield off to the left.

These are some of the wild things you could do with it - it was
also great for just mixing through on subtle stereo-enhancement
settings. I don't know how it worked, and since the main
"effect" components inside were all sealed in epoxy, I don't
know if anyone besides John Bedini really did, either.

NeilA good word clock will change the wsound of the A/D and D/A converters by
reducing jitter. the Paris clock isn't bad, but the converters can be made
to sound different (and some, including me, think better) with a quality
external word clock.

http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/07/20/obit.doohan.ap/inde x.htmlThe EDS interconnect cables are pin for pin 10 (one required) and 15
(two required for a two card system) conductor ribbon cables. These
can be made from readily available parts at your local electronics
supplier. Make them short (less than 4"). Some people cut down IDE
cables, but I find it way less hassle to pick up the parts and build
them properly.

In short - comments on $400-700 multichannel mic pre's - e.g.
Focusrite Octopre
Focusrite Octopre LE
Presonus Digimax LT
Presonus MP20
Presonus Bluetube
Presonus Firepod
M-Audio Octane
dbx 386


In long... Mic pre wise at the moment I have only a Focusrite Platinum Voicemaster
and a Soundcraft Spirit Folio Desk. I suspect the desk is the weak link in
my studio, and so am after some replacement pres. The budget's limited (ideally
$600 ish, but may be able to stretch). Ideally it would have 8 channels,
but some have suggested I'd be better buying a decent 2 (or 4) channel unit,
and using the desk for the rest. That way acoustic guitar could be recorded
with 3 mics through decent pres. I'd only need to use the desk pres for extra
drum mics beyond the 3 channels (each instrument tracked individually). It'd
only be worth investing the money in an 8 channel pre if they're going to
be a fairly significantly better than those in the desk.

Many thanks for any advice / suggestions.

BTW, mic wise I'm using AT4033a's as O/Hs / Vocals / acoustic guitar, C418s
on toms / snare top, SM57 (underneath snare), D112 kick. I *may* buy a Rode
NTK (valve) for vocals / acoustic guitar.Hi Dan,
Here is a very unscientific personal opinion.

> Focusrite Octopre - the compressors suck otherwise they sound good.

The pres do sound very good for the price.
> M-Audio Octane - I like this pre allot. It has no need to be a 2U
rack unit though.
> dbx 386 - yuck

You should also check out the RME Octamic-D and the Studio projects (not
an A/D just analog.)

chrisl@adkproaudio.comI've decided to break down and get a new computer for the Paris. I've got a
2 card and 1 UAD-1 setup running 3.0 on XP.

I'm basically looking for the least expensive way that will still do the
job. Any recommendations for motherboard, memory, processor, etc.

I'm thinking about something along the lines of a motherboard with 5 PCI
slots and 800 fsb, Pentium 2.6 processor and 1 gb ram. Suggestions would be
greatly appreciated. I don't use midi or any other linked machines such as
cubase etc.

Thanks

master, I've only got console
pres).

What are the Grace pre's?

As for the desk, I'm only using it for monitoring and for the mic pres (I
use mic in to the direct outs straight into the paris ins, and then mix solely
in Paris).

it's great, it's free. They also make a Pro version, but I've never used
it. Anyone have any comments on the difference between the two.

You can get them in the 1300-1500 range..maybe cheaper on ebay. I've got
one and it's pretty good. I've also got some api, vintech, and focusrite
ISA modules , and the presonus isn't that far behind.

Please pardon the DUH factor

I'm tekking a conference and making some idea notes on a mix I have to do

How does one apply stereo EDS & Native FX?

I'm assuming you double the track and pan left and right then use two

Correct?

DonCopy the mono track to the next track over and apply the plugin in

check box in the plugin
window). Make sure you use the time lock tool to copy the track.
Right click and drag will copy.

Can an external clock help the sound of already recorded tracks being
internally printed?

RZYeh, it's got BNC's. I'll get back to you once it gets here. A guy from Ft.
worth is bringing it to Colorado. I'm meeting him to pick it up in Silverton
at noon on Wednesday.

> NeilHi,
I don't aggree about the 386 and the 376 as a matter of fact from DBX.
With some upgrade they sound very very good, very sweet almost remind me
the analog tape recording thing.
The only major upgrade should be replacing the ECC82 tubes to original
Telefunken ones.
Change some caps inside (not radical chnages here) and you have a very
good preamp.
I tried changing all or some of the opa's too but found the stock ones
sound the best.
You kn ow they use same chips as RME uses and most others.
It is the tubes that make all the difference.
The best mic form the cheap models (not chinese) that compliments
perfectly the 3xx line pf preamps is AT4033.
This combination was preffered from a client instead of AT 4066 using
Avalon M5 preamp.
It makes you sound sweet warm with no hint of ahrshness at all and
sibilance !
Regards,
Dimitrios

GanttIn all fairness to DP, it was a classical piano piece w/ a lot of rubato
and
retards, so we didn't use a click. The client wanted to be able to change
the key and she wasn't sure what key she needed, so I needed to record
MIDI.

Sequencing without a time reference is probably not a strong point for any
sequencing program...

tter at 96 and starts to sound
like high-end analog equipment. Others like the Sony Oxford plugs, or the
TC VSS3 reverb running on Powercore also benefit dramatically. This is frequently
not subtle at all. Another place where the change is dramatic is with some
soft synths like FM7, which sounds far better at 96 (this is not true of
all synths).
I have been playing around with hybridized Paris setups that include some
96 with mixed results.

>I'm still sticking to 44.1/48k as most of my work is composing, arranging,
and production - quite difficult to run 96k on projects with large
orchestral libraries, samplers and softsynths that already tax my PC to it's
limit. I do plan, and need to start moving to 96k soon, at least for
acoustic recordings. I'm looking into building an Athlon X2 before I do
much with it though. Compatibility is still up in the air for motherboards
and X2's right now (esp. with UAD-1s).
