Sound engineer tech based in London. Started a career very young doing Live sound on the road, touring with bands as FoH or stage tech, later progressed with studies in Cinema and later on Sound Engineering and Recording Arts.
Currently, managing studios in an educational institute pays the bills, but all the spare time is spent watching movies, recording bands, editing in ProTools or with the head stuck in a videogame.

When should I trust my ears over the phase/vector/lissajous scope? Uh, on this subject, I found this pearl fluxhome.com they have 2 freeware plugin their stereo tool is amazing and I can say the same about the transient designer - specially the flexibility of it! |

When should I trust my ears over the phase/vector/lissajous scope? Sam, it's not uncommon. I spent a couple of weeks with a award mixing engineer and he would do the pan in mono as well (specially things like toms/OH etc). It was noticeable the mono mix becoming clear. But he still re tweaked the image when back in stereo. I personally just check in mono. A lot! |

What is the best volume to work with studio monitors? @Kim thanks for that update. I did not know about this! cool stuff! I was mentioning the level which is "safe" for 8 hours which is still 90dB by OSHA, right? osha.gov/dts/osta/otm/noise/standards_more.html. |

What is the best volume to work with studio monitors? hmm yes and no. Yes 90dB is louder than some people might think at first specially with musical material and smaller rooms but I do believe tiredness will come quicker from saturated material (ie. heavily compressed) than from consistency loud volumes. I do not agree that mixing will take longer. Chances are you will have to spit out a mix in 1 day, and come back for revision sake only. Same with mastering. |

How can I get the most clear sound out of an electric guitar? line in, or mic'ing? "perfectly tuned space"? That would require some advance thinking when building the room - golden ratio for proportions, no paralel walls, and even then probably having to use some (more or less clever) form of diffusion. Unless you are trying to dry the room out of the offending frequency for that particular node - with a material with absorption coeficient of 1 for that frequency range, at least 1/4 of the wavelength you are considering. I really don't think users that would mic a cab only with a 57 would consider this much (no offense intended :) |

How can I get the most clear sound out of an electric guitar? line in, or mic'ing? "so pull it back a bit and you'll get a little more treble in the signal" not exactly true. Proximity effect will depend on the type of microphone and polar pattern. You might also pull it back and end up in a stationary wave reinforcement point, whilst your cab is in a null point. |

How can I get the most clear sound out of an electric guitar? line in, or mic'ing? Also, the genre of music? detail and clarity in metal would mean really thick, controlled low end, on some others, like your pop/rock ballads would mean really bright guitar (arpeggios, lead solos, etc), funk would also be a really compressed, bright guitar etc. |

Are outboard processors dead? funny enough - had some "first timers" today with Lexicon L480 and PCM series: they said that it had nothing to do with the pluggo version and they preferred it much more to the plugin one. They described the different as "cheap" and "richer/complex" |
