The perils of digital recording - the pro tools 6085 error

matt.coogan — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 23:05:31 +0000

This is just a post to help out people that may have had the same problem I suffered today. A good half hour setup at the reheasal spot for some drum tracking and my pro tools rig decides to give me the 6085 error.

No playback , no recording, to output into the headphones. The day is a wash and I tear down and leave. Now 2 hours later, after searching the support forums to no avail… I remember.

the old fix all… DELETE THE Volume.dbb file in the Digidesign database folder !!!

I’m back in business.

Hopefully I can save someone an hour or two of bs if they stumble across this post.

Hear the Chandler Germanium Compressor in this video Demo

Check it, you can hear the unit working. First off, this isn’t the best material. The drumloop is already compressed, mixed, mastered, sampled, and resampled. However, It does illustrate some of the sound.

Bass, full mixes, guitar, etc will be up soon. This unit excels on any type of material. For now, delight in the crushing percussive pressure of this here demo.

The Chandler is an FET style compressor with germanium amp and crazy unique features such as wet / dry for parallel compression, and different diode for changing the knee and character of the compression. tweaked out.

But the real purpose of putting this up hear is to give you an idea of what it sounds like. I’m really not passing judgment and ideally I’ll have many other demos up for you to compare and contrast, my only obstacle is time.

Upstairs Recordings Remixed review

matt.coogan — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 13:05:09 +0000

Slackline radio, purveyors of fine downtempo radio, recently reviewed the new Upstairs Recordings Remixed album. check it out….

“Solus is never shy when it comes to sharing good music on his weblog and his podcast delivers his own personal tastes. He always seems willing to share his own vision about music and on Remixed, Solus delivers a wealth of knowledge. He takes the time to mash up Hexes and Ohs and Verbrilli Sound. He creates a funky rendition with an upbeat rhythm of “Alive Until Saturday Night.” And, on “Interstellar Spy Story,” Solus sends this track into the cosmos with a stepped down version with real subtle hints of the original. Solus remixed “Disappointment” for Monta on the Modus Vivendi Volume 2 sampler from 2007. Now, it comes full circle on Remixed, as we get Monta’s version of Solus’s Session 5 on the opening track.”
