I'll save you $100 bucks. Use a dual mono compressor on the master bus, use compression on every track, cut the hell out of everything w/ EQ.imdrecordings said:Looks interesting... but I'll have to wait and see what others think about it. I doubt it will have any of the NEVE stuff.. sense it was probably made prior to the 1081 and mayb 1073 being released.. hmmmm.
on a side note... why is that Charles Dye Video so damn expensive?

If you go to the 1081 page, the DEMOS and TIPS section links to the video for the new DVD - that means it's either included or false advertising... No screen shots in the video, so I vote for option B.imdrecordings said:Looks interesting... but I'll have to wait and see what others think about it.

I agree, presets are only interesting if you have the actual audio files as well. But given that, it would be useful to have the presets (or project files for that matter, though this won't help non-Cubasers) so that you don't have to dial the settings in by hand.Horse said:And I can't see that presets would be much use outside of the track in question?

It was/is eye opening like this:
I play golf pretty well. I play guitar very well. In both cases, I 'know' what to do. I've heard it ALL before. -But- every time I splurge and take a lesson with a real pro, I get something ineffable and useful out of it. I get more focused, more enthused. Refreshed and ready to tackle things again.
Charles' video, for all the jokes you can make about it, feels like a GREAT lesson with a real pro. I get something useful out of it every time I watch it, even though I already -know- everything he's saying.
And I can't believe I'm gushing like that, but that's how it feels to me.
Maybe if I was at a 'pro' level of mixing, I'd find it less valuable, but still---I enjoy a lot of guitar instruction stuff even though I -am- a pro at that.
So.... YMMV, but even though I'm THE cheapest guy I know, this thing is worth it.

Cass Anawaty said:Suntower,
My quote was a little tongue-in-cheek, and I'm glad I watched it--I share your attitude when in comes to instructional videos--but the dvd was lost when I was traveling and I won't replace it. For $100 bucks, it should be something I watch over and over, and it just didn't do it for me.
And it IS difficult to watch, imho.
I don't use Protools, and was using a UAD-1 before it was fashionable (as you have, too), so this is just a little closer to my heart :lol:
