Hey guys! So as I'm recording and mixing things, I generally try to keep as hot of a signal as possible, ideally using digital gain meters only to quieten sounds rather than amplify. Until now I've always been under the impression that analog amplification is alright, but digital amplification shoul...

Hey guys! So occasionally I find myself with the desire to sidechain compress a track using both the kick drum and the snare drum. Unfortunately, you can only choose one track for the input to the sidechain compression, which leads me to wonder what the best way to accomplish this would be. I've tri...

Yeah, I'm hoping for an out of the box analog spring reverb. Ideally one where I can touch the spring directly.

Hey guys! So this may be a dumb question, but lately I've fallen in love with the sound of a good spring reverb and I'm interested in the ability to factor those sounds into my own productions. Looking for this though, I can't seem to find a way to buy a spring reverb effect short of buying the reve...

What exactly do you mean by consistency issues?

Hey guys! If there's any concept in production that I'm most intimidated by it has to be compression. Don't get me wrong, I perfectly understand the ideas behind compression, and exactly how compressors work and what they do, but what I'm struggling with is being able to hear when something calls fo...

Hey guys! So I’m working on a drum sequencer for a project, but I’m running into some problems with it that I’d love some insight on. First off let me describe what I’m hoping to do. I’m hoping to build a step sequencer that allows for drum sequence programming for up to 8 drum sounds and up to 8 pa...

Look up what clipping is. Essentially, you can't go "out of the range" of the viewer, as there isn't anything past that range, so you distort your audio if you try and do that. It's called clipping.

Here you go:

Place that as a midi effect before your soft synth and choose the range that you want your mod wheel to cover.

I would imagine that you could change how much the mod wheel opens up the filter in your soft synth. If not I could always make a quick m4l patch that could let you set the range of the mod wheel.

Yep. You'd just need to make a patch that changes the midi data from the mod wheel. What specifically are you trying to do?

Could an audio interface make do for the impedance/level matching? I'm hoping to run line level signals through one of these. I don't mind having no dry/wet control either, as I was planning on using it entirely wet as a send in Ableton.

So something like http://www.amazon.com/Mod-Reverb-Tank-8 ... ing+reverb would work straight out of the box?

Hey guys! So I've been into the idea of making/acquiring my own spring reverb for the interesting textures they provide. I've noticed that you can buy reverb tanks from amps by themselves. Does anyone know if it's possible to use one of these by itself as reverb effect unit?

Thanks,
Charlie

Hey guys! So I don't know about you guys but every time I turn to Massive for some basic synthesizer needs, I find that they're raw basic waveforms (square, saw, triangle, etc) all just kind of suck. Don't get me wrong, I love Massive with it's routing and the crazy sounds it can achieve, but every ...
