Will home recording kill commercial studios?

Though the MCU can be used to generate those envelopes in real-time. I don't have the patience to manipulate volume and pan envelopes with a mouse. That's why I like using a console. Pans, at least for the work I do, are static - I can set those and they stay in one place throughout the song. But with volume, I play with that like playing an instrument. If something's too quiet, I just ease the fader up until it sounds right. And if I'm not quick enough, I'll do it again and get it right the second time. But I don't know by how many dB I've changed the level. With a volume envelope, you draw what you think is right, then listen to it to see if it's what you want. With the software I use made a node and drag it up and down like a fader. or 2 nodes and drag the line between them up and down. Yeah pan stays constant, with occasional exceptions. I've thought about using something iike the Mackie MCU but I'm not enough of a horse trader to buy one,(if you can find them any more), see if I like it, and if I don't, then sell it. PreSonus makes a couple now - actually three - one with one fader that they've had out for at least 10 years, one with four faders, and one with eight. They're kind of expensive, though, but since they don't pass any audio, they're a lot cheaper than a console. Behringer do one too - prolly much cheaper. I wonderÂ* what is being used on consoles for analogue (or external digital) mixdowns - EQ, Level, pan, preset or interactive. Or mainly just level. I'm not sure I understand that question. Do you mean how are console moves stored and played back through the console? Stored as preset scenes, manually tweaked up and down for the mix-down, or stored as flying-faders (and presumably tweaked/recorded per pass too) ? geoff |
