Hey, I'll gladly trade you that desk for your ears!
Don't I remember you mentioning that you wanted to move out here? I coulda sworn.......Now Rick, you know if I lived anywhere near you, I'd be taking over - so you should probably be happy I don't live near you!
I don't know if you've gone over this in some other forum, but have you discussed what kind of gear you're going to put in here? I know you've bought some new things, specifically for the place...
John
RickW said:John - I haven't brought up any gear at all here. I did buy some new gear...mainly monitors, mics and a DAW...but I haven't decided on exactly which software I want to go with yet. I'm tossed between Cubase SX and Samplitude, but Cubase seems to be the front runner right now. The only thing turning me off on Samplitude is the price. We'll see what happens. What I'm using now will suffice for quite a while and I can use the PC for editing in the meantime.
RickW said:Wow John...you're asking me stuff I have to think about!
As far as how things will be recorded, there hopefully will be various configurations. I could have a whole band (minus singer) in the tracking room if needed and use gobos. I could fit people with DI's in the control room. I'm gonna play around in there for a couple of months to get everything up to snuff (my version of it, at least).
The lava lamps are on order (I have to try to look professional, you know), but still no espresso machine. ;-)
I don't think there are "right answers" or anything of the sort,
