For many years I have been trying to find a distortion that mimics the sounds of aliasing of audio. No amount of googling has ever helped me so I figured I would ask. The only thing that I can think of that has this particular effect is a few songs of Linkin Park's first two albums. I cannot...

I am trying to get a census here especially by the big hitters around here as to how you prefer the natural gain of a DI. If you have an active DI that has a gain control built-in would you either: 1) Have a DI that has really low gain (unity to 6dB max) where you might now have enough gain...

The honeymoon with my Agile Interceptor Pro 625 has been long over for some time, but was recently dismayed when I realized that it sounds more dull and less resonance than my LTD F-50 that I bought out of pocket after tax about 170 USD. The strings have a very quick transient with a quick and...

So I recently made over the switch to Reaper and have been customizing a template for my band's upcoming full length. While I haven't learned everything yet like I do with my old DAW, I am coming across an issue that is a real pain in the ass. The audio (ASIO) driver is disabled every time the...

All my local music stores don't carry them, and google searching hasn't been successful, where the heck can I get a female DIN 5 to male mini DIN 5 adapter? I have a soundcard that's midi I/O is a female mini DIN 5 but all adapters I have been able top find are all PS2 aka DIN 6 which is the...

So months back I made this thread asking about hardware synths. Since then I have acquired Massive and FM8 (VSTs) and have come to the realization that dialing in pro sounds is much more difficult then modern metal production/engineering. I have spent the past couple months trying to create...

Corvus Audio *Image shown is guitar prototype, future labeling will reflect Pro-Audio/Studio use* Its finally here. I am proud to announce that the Corvus Audio DI+. This DI is a transformerless active DI that can do simultaneous DI and reamp functions through the use of an internal 2 channel...

In threads over the years where these sort of questions come up I always have had these views especially from taking classes on the topic, but this guy can articulate much better then I ever could. This video is well worth the time to watch.

If you could have any piece of audio equipment designed just for your needs...what would it be? What could you dream up that you would completely gas for? It can be hardware, software, for live or studio. Mine personally would be a simple but small pedal sized midi loop switcher with 4...

In another thread I mentioned that I am looking for DIs that are intended for clean tones. I have looked around the mixing practice songs/DIs but haven't come across anything that I could use which links aren't dead. Looking for top notch quality guitar and performance. Any help and...

Lately L2 hasn't been cutting it for me. Even though it is a look ahead limiter with more extreme settings, the kick and snare get murdered. I can get my mixes loud, but there is still a good 2-3dB that I can get to be more comparable to more dynamic mixes (Sneap, Richardson, Bogren etc) so I...

This is a repost from another thread, but I felt that this topic deserved a thread all its own. This is a post from my audio tech blog corvusaudio.blogspot.com explaining what dB, headroom and proper tracking levels are and why they are important. Figured you guys might like, especially the...

http://corvusaudio.blogspot.com One of the many ways I could say thanks from the numerous heaps of information packed in this forum, I deceived to start writing an informational blog dispelling myths and going over many of the tech based stuff people ask on a regular basis. The first post was...

So I stumbled across the stems for the song "On the Backs of Angels" and since I was horribly disgusted with the mix on their latest album decided I would give my shot at fixing it. I replaced the drums with midi, into Metal Machine and the snare and kick were replaced with the Trigger's Dream...

The name says it all, I have been trying to find a way to make a simple solution for those who have wanted to bias their beloved 5150s and 6505s but either don't want to pay an arm and a leg. If soldering is not your strong point, I can do the installation cheaper than just about any tech I am...

corvus-audio.com Its been a long time coming, but I finally got it up and running. Let me know what you guys think. I am still having some issues, as typing in www before the domain name is giving an error and the DNS tech support is slow as fucking shit, whatever. Also the site has issues...

I have spent the past few days working on a website and have finished is a few hours ago. I am going to host the HTTP server on my computer so I don't have to worry about hosts, but I still need a Domain name. Now maybe I am confusing stuff a bit here, but it seems like Domain Registrars...

For years I have been trying to find out how Kevin Moore (Ex-Dream Theater) got his sounds for their first two big releases, "Images and Words" and "Awake". He used a long list of equipment: -Roland JD-800 - used for piano, distorted organ, synth pads and chimes -Korg DW-8000 - used for...

So in my loadbox thread there has been the question of reactive loads vs resistive loads. Becuase the my loadboxes have a cabinet out and still act as I DI, I did a quick mix of when the amp (5150) was loaded by a cabinet and when it was loaded by the resistive load in the loadbox. I won't...
