    How do large-format bands survive?

    So I'm watching/listening to a Snarky Puppy studio performance that involves 14 members plus 5 guests. Just the gear visible in the video is worth about half a million (CAD) per my conservative estimate -- keyboards, big percussion section, double mic'ing certain instruments, headphones for an...

    Gearheads unite!

    Get real, homies! Once we get started, we can't stop. We're "investing" in gear. We need to spend time, alone, with that "one last one" new toy. We've all been told by our wives, girlfs, mothers, and other persons of similar endearment that our music gear takes up too much space. "You said...

    a New Year's resolution

    This subforum gets too little use… So I resolved to write at least some lyric every single day this year. Therapy + skill building, ya know? Might be very random, might end up writing some actual songs — we'll see! I'm hoping to post an update every so often. Open to comments & suggestions, but...

    Sidechain compression on reverb... how to?

    I was researching the production techniques used by one of my favorite artists, and I came across a post (on a different site) that mentioned something that intrigued me... "...it sounds like a plate reverb, high-passed, and a fairly wide eq cut at around 2.5k so that none of the harsh sounds...

    How do I "learn" my new monitors...

    Hi guys, Taking a break from politics to ask for help regarding my new studio monitors. They sound great and I know they have great frequency response, etc., but I'm having trouble making mixing decisions on them -- I've only used headphones until now. So I've been listening to a lot of music...

    MIDI input issues in Cubase LE

    Hi all, I'm not a big Cubase man but today I found myself in need of a means for recording my keyboard via MIDI. I have a USB MIDI from my keyboard into my MacBook Pro and the signal is getting to Cubase fine (there's a meter at the bottom right corner that clearly shows it gets the signal)...

    Who does this... re:extreme-quality gear

    Reportedly the best headphones produced today, these seem quite hard to acquire. From the Sennheiser website: "Each Sennheiser HE 1 is as individual as its future owner. Therefore, we invite you to be part of every step of the process when we create your custom Sennheiser HE 1. 1 We kindly...

    Potential 2023 election candidates - apart from Trump and Biden

    Thoughts? From all sides of the political spectrum? Sure, there's been plenty of talk about RFK jr. Anyone else? I don't know of anyone who fits my rather niche criteria, but then, I haven't put in much effort into looking them up yet.

    Is Christianity a Shtick?

    So in the Political Humor thread, @PorterhouseMusic contends that the Christian belief in Jesus' resurrection is a joke. Fair enough: Now it's a fact that Jesus existed. But are these claims well-founded? So - serious question @PorterhouseMusic: Do you believe that Alexander the Great existed?

    The Controversially Political Humor thread

    So it looks like my thread "The silly Conspiracy Theory thread" did not generate enough interest -- but no worries! I'm casting a wider net this time. Jokes, humor, comedy, clips of funny goofs who can't hold their own, clips of geniuses who stand up for the truth (whether it's actually true or...
