gotta love the LA-2A... sounds great on most things. I had a chance to mess w/ the reissue and I thought it was pretty great. You? I was surprised, actually, because I wasn't feeling the 1176 remakes all that much.
When I posted that last post I was being a bonehead and assuming the application was mixing, not recording (it's been a while since I've recorded anything), so if that changes anything, feel free to go there. If you're changing gear on every song you mix, I feel sorry for your assistant. How do you handle recalls? Especially all this old stuff- it wears us out sometimes, the amount that it changes, even from the beginning of an album mix to the end. |
hello reid,
no you're right, i was mostly talking about mixing. i do change it up quite a bit. i could use any piece i have and make it work on most things. this keeps me fresh on a project. i've always been on that mind set. my assistants are awesome and they develop a system when they work with me. and all my racks are on DL's and they come right up on the patchbay.
i will print the really intricate effects that i know won't be recallable. and they WILL remind me to print. i don't patch up a bunch of things and have them ready to go. eg: i wont patch up ALL my pedals and bring them up on faders. i'll only patch when i need it. most of the time these days i'm printing the effect and then using the printed track in the mix and i can unplug the effect after that or use it again for something else. this will also make recalls a little more accurate.
speaking of recalls...
i'll be venting about it soon.
cheers
