Thanks for your offer! Right now I'm on a self-imposed "keeping it real"-trip, though. 🤷‍♀️ I'm really contemplating my options of making real strings work. And "not having budgeted, yet", does not mean "there won't be any budget". I've been looking a this, for example: Remote recording in...

Thanks! I don't have yet budgeted for it as I really don't have any point of reference. I will poke around fiverr, but it seems to be a pretty exploitive and price gauging environment. I'd prefer a kinda established, independent service, I guess.

Thanks for your reply! To put things into context, I'm a classically trained cellist, I played double bass in a bigband for 5 years, I've had my share of bad sheets to read. 🥸 My partner is a trained violin and viola player. A friend of mine is a studied (and competent) composer/arranger. He...

Hello everyone, I haven't been around for quite some time. I'm looking to add real strings tom my next recordings. DIY is a royal pain, finding and scheduling competent players and decent rooms and doing proper recording on location. Over the last few years a cottage industry of remote...

Hey guys and gals, after some years of just doing writing demos and occasional demo recordings for acoustic duos, I decided to do a small EP of original songs, start to finish. I had to move on the way, so I had to change rooms and I'm still not totally used to my new environment, so I'd like...

Latch Lake has got a pretty new small mic stand in their product line. This should do everything you need. If I have heavy stuff to put on a boom I usually use counterweights, there are nice and convenient ones from Manfrotto, for ligthing hardware: Not as cost effective as sandbags, though.

Hello everyone, as I am in the process of rehearsing with a singer for a gala date, I really have to vent some stuff, and I think I can do it in a way that some of you guys and gals might benefit from, be it singers in a duo, band or for studio dates. I am a guitarist and thus sideman...

Hi guys and gals, just got my carbon copy, and it is so much fun! I already spent a whole hour making weird noises and new age-y ambiences... Awesome! Just needed to share my happiness over a thoroughly inspiring piece of gear. :guitar: The metallic green paint job is nearly reason enough to...

Hello everyone, first posting in ere, so go easy on me. I have a maybe stupid question, right now I'm mixing a track that needs very heavy bass editing, as the bass does not lock at all with the drums. So, I am getting into editing territory for the first time. When editing that stuff, I use...
