Re: MClass Compressor vs Rack Extension Compressors

The Fairchild was the first compressors I'm familiar with that has these qualities, which the Manley "Vari-Mu" was loosely based upon. http://www.manley.com/products/view/mslchp This is in addition to the "tube" sound they both embody. The Moo is totally clean. No tube emulation. Although I am a hu...

Re: Vocalign VST

I was checking out this VST called Vocalign which does as it claims to align vocals. Is there anything in Reason that does the same being this program only comes in VST3 format or Logic’s AU format? There is nothing in Reason that does what VocAlign can do, and little need for it unless you replace...

Re: Waves SSL G-Master Buss Compressor

How does the Waves SSL G-Master Buss compare to the native Reason SSL Bus Comp? It's only $29 (for another hour) but I don't want to buy something I don't need. Anyone using it? While none of these exactly re-create the original, both are recognizable as coming from the same 'family'. In other word...

Re: MClass Compressor vs Rack Extension Compressors

There can be many more differences than just attack/release times in my experience, including the "soft knee" function you mentioned (which is often designed differently for each manufacturer). "Mu" compressors such as the Moo by McDSP ALSO have a different ratio response than other compressors, wh...

Indeed - I was just comparing downward compressors - you add upwards and expansion possibilities and multiply these differences and things get even crazier!

ReAmp: It's handy to have a re-amp around for not only running "direct-recorded" guitars through real amps/pedals, but also adding amps and pedals to your external FX loops for ANY instruments.

Re: What's the weirdest/best tricks you've learned over the years of making music?

For getting sustain on guitars recorded in the control room, run the guitar through a monitor. Use the left or right channel of the mains if there is no spare, panning everything else to the other speaker. Then touch the headstock of the guitar to the speaker cabinet and crank it up. Unless you are ...

Re: How is the comparesion between Line6 Amp and Softune Amp??

I don't care for the Line6 or the Softube amps very much. The Softube sounds less artificial to my ears, but it's far less versatile. I usually use Kuassa's amps and effects. Amplifikation Creme is my favorite, and it gets a lot of use from me alongside their distortion and modulation effects. Ther...

Oh yea, you can't use Reason's excellent audio quantization feature on multiple drum tracks either, another loss for Reason users IMO.

There have been so many over the years, most which are now easily accomplished by plugins (but still, the original techniques can give unique results). One of the first things I did when I finally got access to a studio in the early 80s was to run each drum through a plate reverb, gate it, and recor...

There isn‘t one thing that makes these sound good. First of all the compositions and arrangements leave room for the bass to breathe.

Re: Studio Monitors De-Emphasis Question

From what I can tell, de-emphasis is for the SPDIF input only, and you would only hear any effects of this if using that input. And the results would be static, not turning on/off AFAIK.
