robacid, got some processing tips?

robacid, got some processing tips?

2004-08-26 by Dieter Vandoren

Hey Rob,

Does a pro like you have some processing/producing tips for us? 
Regarding the ongoing "Processing tips for MD beats" discussion, it would be
nice to hear about your tricks!

take a look at the waveform (can you say "brick wall"?  :-)

my guess is that there's some compression and limiting at work here.....

but yes, I'd also like to hear some tips, as Rob's beats always come 
through quite well.

one of the main things is LO-CUT and HI-CUT when mixing, your  
elements need room to show the sound. so i have this plugs on 
every channel i work on. next are my outboard stuff : Urei 
1176,Telefunken Comps,Pultec Eq,Sontec Eq,Api 2500,Waves 
L2...

i usually make long chains with lots of eq and compression, but 
every machine is just doing a little !! so maybe 2-3 compressors 
in a row for a BD !!! also stuff like transient designer are very 
important for me......

one of my secret wappons are the HDB TMA2 
valve-mic-preamps, they are great to send some synths or perc. 
thru it !


if you have more questions, just ask :-)

Have you ever tried the FMR compressor in "nice" mode in place of your
chain of 3 compressors?  Supposed to achieve similar benefits, since
internally that's exactly what it does.

BD?

"transient designer"?

Hello,
 
I assume BD is Bass Drum... or Kick Drum ;-)
 
Transient Designer is from SPL (
http://www.spl-usa.com/Transient_Designer/in_short.html
<http://www.spl-usa.com/Transient_Designer/in_short.html> )
 
But there is a brand new plugin to do that :
http://www.voxengo.com/tmodder/ <http://www.voxengo.com/tmodder/> 
 
Hey Rob !  Telefunken, Pultec, Urei... woawww, what a setup !
 
I'm still playing lotery to win money to afford this kind of stuff...
but for now, with some analog synth and some plugins (Eq, Filter like
you..) , i can get quite good result.
 
I think my next buy is FATSO from Empirical Labs.
 
Best regards.
 
Pierre.

Re: [elektron] robacid, got some processing tips?

2004-08-26 by robacidindahouse

i also have an FMR, but its not the same, cause the FMR is very 
neutral. but nice !

i use the expensive stuff to colour the sound, its the 5% sound 
that makes the difference in the mix....

btw. the distressor is a great comp !!!!! i dont use multiband 
comps cause they do not sound good on 12" for me....

also using alot the UAD1 !! cause the emulations are very close 
to the hardware stuff......

He already listed some limiters and compressors that costs $5k plus each.  Gear like that would be deadly in the hands of somebody who knows how to use it and I think rob does ;p

Those 5K limiters and compressors can be made for approx 200 - 300 euro.
 
www.groupdiy.com <http://www.groupdiy.com> 
 
If you can't build one i am willing to build one for you for a 65 euro fee.
You have ssl 4000 clone and Urei 1176 Clone. They sound great! Especially
the ssl sound excellent on drums.

Gyraf did the board layout all info can be found on his site.
Partlists tips and tricks etc can be found on forum
<http://www.groupdiy.com> www.groupdiy.com
 <http://www.gyraf.dk/gy_pd/ssl/ssl.htm>
http://www.gyraf.dk/gy_pd/ssl/ssl.htm ssl stereo compressor link
 <http://www.gyraf.dk/gy_pd/1176/1176.htm>
http://www.gyraf.dk/gy_pd/1176/1176.htm the Urei LN1176 (purple audio now
also sells boards but at a high price (but they are better):
http://www.purpleaudio.com/Product/MC76Kit.html
<http://www.purpleaudio.com/Product/MC76Kit.html> 
 
http://www.gyraf.dk/gy_pd/pultec/pultec.htm
<http://www.gyraf.dk/gy_pd/pultec/pultec.htm>  The pultec mono EQ this thing
is awsome! and so easy to build
 
I can build complete units for you but you can do it yourself. I only do it
for people that cannot use a soldering unit. You can buy your own parts and
supply them to me and i will build it for 65 Euro.
I can also order everything and build it. You pay in advance but i choose
the parts (i only do a class since the unit cost original 2000 bucks so its
equipped with a class parts.)
 
Most expensive to purchace is the 19 U rack and printing and the panel
meters. On the LN1176 the trafo's are expensive. As i said before you will
pay approx 200 - 300 (350 for a real nice one) for parts etc.
 
If you need to know more mail me personally since this is a bit OT on a
elektron forum.
 
Regards,
 
Jef
