Ok - I have to go with an e kit until I get my real rooms built - could be a couple of years... anyway, i am damn sick of using loops and other tricks... i want a human feel. So, I have spent a lot of $$ on my other gear, not a lot left for the kit (and my wife looking iver the shoulder...

Hey - I remember seeing a thread on fixing plosives after the fact - I admit I never read it... but anyway - I had a tune I was working on, got a great vocal take but it had the word "plays" in it 3 times and all three had plosives! I horisontally magnified my waveforms and automated my volume...

Hey all - I bought one of those ill-reputed but beautiful sounding velocettes awhile ago. I heard all the stink about the faulty transformers, so I ordered a new one from Gibson (they sent it to me for free, very cool). Anyway, I have had it for a year now. On a few occasions, I left it on...

OK - just did some major upgading of my front end with a couple different new pre's. I'm still using the 20 bit converters in my original MOTU 2408, which I have been told have been waaaay surpassed. With my old front end, I don't believe I could even hear the difference between my own...

Hey all - this may sound weird, but I'm thinking of building a yurt to turn into my short term studio. Right now I'm in a weird space adjoining my wife's art studio, and her business is kind of overflowing into mine... Anyway, i can get a yurt up and functioning for about 6-8 grand depending...
