Re: Panning with a trio

I am confused by this approach. By panning the stereo sub, aren't you actually just balancing in favor of the left or right mic feeding that bus? I would think that with this, you are just turning down the info that was picked up the mic opposite of the pan. Hi Robert, I'm mixing a piano trio projec...

I really prefer the "pan it as you see it" method. Pan the ENTIRE instrument to the side that it is on as you view the ensemble. They don't have to be hard pans. Then, let the bleed give the sense of space. Hearing jazz with the low notes of the piano on the L and the High on the right fee...

i prefer to use different mics for different things on different sessions. This sounds a little "one trick pony" for me...

also, clip mics are not my ideal choice and you would have a hard time convincing me to NOT use my API's on drums...

Yet, you have them mounted on a rack that not only transmits some of the cymbals energy to the toms, but sympathetic vibrations run rampant from the toms to the cymbals, even with RIMS. I am sorry to go on a rant, but i HATE when engineers tell drummers what is "better". and if an engineer...

drummer for 20 years, never had an issue with lack of "low end" or resonance in my cymbals. Then again, i like big old, thin cymbals ala Ringo, Brian Blade, etc. I also use rivets when ever i can! That being said, i do hate it when felts are tight (even on HH). THAT sucks the life out of a...

As I explained in my earlier post on this thread, my authorization of the 5.9.7 beta meant that I didn't have to re-authorize the full 5.9.7 release. When I tried to authorize it, I was sent to an error page at Waves' site, and one of the several possible explanations was that I'd already authorize...
