chickenbum Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Edirol FA66 interface, Jim how do you like the fa-66 as your main interface? I have the fa-101, it's pretty good, but the pre's are too quiet... or rather the headphone output is too quiet. hey mate you are correct. The FA66 is awesome however the phones output is too low, thinking of getting a presonus headphone out to spice it up a little. That is the only issue i have with it, apart form the fact i cant run it at 32samples in logic, it just goes all static like, same happens on my macbook pro, just makes a robotic weird noise, like a delay set at .01ms (realistically its the difference between 3.7ms and 4.0ms) not a real world issue but yeah. The mic pre`s are fine for what i use it for, recording guitar and bass, no problems there guitar goes from Guitar > Pod xt live > Presonus Tube Pre > Presonus 3beq > FA66 input 2 (High Z) w/limiter.

torsenstarrow Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 so you use it with software monitoring? I just use hardware monitoring so I don't have to deal with latency? If i'm correct in assuming you are talking about software monitoring... what do you use it for? Is much better. Sometimes I use it with my fa-101, so I hear reverb on my voice but i'm not a big fan of latency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I use it with my fa-101, so I hear reverb on my voice but i'm not a big fan of latency. Um im a bit confused. I use software monitoring, i make dance / house / electro and use soft synths and vst`s. all that happens at around 4.0ms, When i record guitar 4.0ms is good enough so i just record via software monitoring. what do you use? and how do you record? what output latency do you use? ## samples?

torsenstarrow Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Sorry about that. I was confused (am still a little confused) when you say "all that happens at 4.0 ms... I guess you mean latency when you record? I just turn off software monitoring and leave the samples at 512, sometimes 1024. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordeo Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 this is what i've been waiting for over four years; a studio space I can work in with 100% functioning gear and a powerful computer that can handle plugins like BFD2, Synthogy's Ivory. i dropped out of a very good school to follow my dreams, and the past few years since doing so have not been easy. (but hey, i know that i'm not the only one.) I have to say this ... i've had far too many technical difficulties. I'm just a girl that's trying to do what has seemed like the impossible ... completely produce an indie rock/pop/new wave/shoegaze .. whatever you want to label it ... record. so, without further ado ... i'm super super psyched to share these with you guys and gals http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2532/4082103293_689e02089d.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2441/4082863280_fe07e4948b.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2448/4082101795_41d4ede8eb.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2437/4082863656_dd0fa5ca5f.jpg here is a link to my photo gallery ... http://www.pulsewidthmod.com/archives/858 What a great space.

ghostly Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 The bands of the golden age of shoegaze (late 80s / early 90s) such as Ride, My Bloody Valentine, early Boo Radleys, all used to be pretty static on stage, head down covered by indie cred long haircuts, thrashing out some of the most$&@+% up sounds you can imagine, hence the shoegaze name. I am a big fan of that sound, would love to have a listen to your tracks maeghan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shivermetimbers Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Well, I couldn't resist and had to look ... “boobgaze” music on Last.fm Boobgaze generally combines sound featured extensive use of guitar effects, and indistinguishable shouted vocals that blended into the creative noise of the guitars the slow tempos, heavy rhythms and dark, pessimistic atmosphere of doom metal with the aggression, and occasional fast tempos of hardcore punk. People called this genre “boobgazing” because the musicians in these bands often maintained a motionless performing style, standing on stage and staring at the female boobs while playing their instruments; hence, the idea that they were gazing at their boobs. There ya go Meaghan. So you can call it whatever 'gaze' you want to stare at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
