A nice look inside one of the two "London Meccas" of orchestral recording, AIR Lyndhurst, the other being Abbey Road, of course: C.

Hi All, Several of you have seen this one before, and gave very good feedback. I am trying to hammer out a decent chorus for my 'departure' song, and also figure out the bridge. I did opt to keep the lines about the 'bar in the background' in place instead of breaking that verse up for...

Hi All, I finally got back to writing again, and this one came to me yesterday after dropping someone off at the airport. No chorus or such yet, four verses that came down pretty much as you see them for now. Any input appreciated as always, TERMINAL. "I pull your bag behind me You clutch your...

Hi All, This is a first sketch for the chorus of a song having to do with alcoholism. Please let me know what you think: In your mind, a tiny figure Knocking on a door To an elusive room On an imagined floor, In that room are all the things You'll ever do or be, And also all the horrors That...

Hi, I am curious about it, because mostly I see it derided both here and elsewhere. I know the "shortcomings": More headwear. Lots more tape. Low-FQ roll-off compared to 15IPS I know most machines don't have it, but I have heard from folks who do, who still don't find it a good option. Last...

Hi, One of the 'obvious but important' questions ( I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere): do you damage a phantom-powered multi-pattern mic if you change patterns on it with the Phantom power engaged? My stereo condenser goes dead and then 'humphs' back to life when I change patterns while...

Hi All, Is there anyone who can recommend a good service tech/center within reasonable driving distance from DC for normal maintenence of my Studer 807? I was stumped in my search, so I thought this was the place to ask. The machine is in fine shape, but I do want to have some service lined up...

Hi All, The character in this one is an 82-year old distant relative of mine back home in Denmark. All the events are true to his life. I have known him since I was a kid (and that was a while back... ) and I wrote most of this one in the spring of 2005 when I stayed with him for a while...

Hi All, If anyone here synchs their reel-to-reel with timecode on a center track, are there any good guidelines for the lowest usable level the machine will respond to? I am worried about bleedover onto my 2 main tracks. Thanks for any advice. Best, C.

Are you either: so stunned by my genius or so speechless at my incompetence that you can't find anything to say ;) Someone must have an opinion....anything good or bad is helpful and appreciated. THESE OLD ROADS V.1: Friendly houses watch me Each time I walk on by The cattle in the meadow...

Hi All. I have been away from these forums for a while, but in the interim I started writing a bit again. This one's about a breakup. Any and all comments are welcome. THESE OLD ROADS V.1: Friendly houses watch me Each time I walk on...

Hi All, Remember the old, foot-stomping, everybody-sing-along type "repent sinner" songs you used to be able to hear at church gatherings and from Salvation Army groups? Well....this is a bit of that, just in the opposite direction...think a major key, upbeat chorus, old-fashioned chord...

Queen of the Castle Queen of the castle With one broken king, Created from nothing, A casual fling You wanted it all You wanted to hide You built up the ramparts 'til everything died Queen of the castle Doors are shut tight The things you're hiding Must never see light A love for the...

Hi all, This is only the second time I have ever attempted lyrics, so any and all advice is appreciated. I feel this should be on guitar, maybe with some quiet acc in the background. Haven't decided if chorus should move up, and an instrumental break of some kind is needed. The story of a lost...
