    Best Headphone with Minimal Sound Bleed

    I use 7506 and have never had an issue with sound bleeding. Sometimes I only monitor with one ear and let the other cup ride on my head and still have no bleed.

    Why do we twist our minds with all this digital tech when most of the greatest records ever made were made on tape deck ?

    I used 4 and then 8 track R2R machines for 25 years before converting to a DAW. I absolutely loved the ability to overdub and I was able to produce some good recordings using those machines along with a rack full of outboard gear and a million cables. It was a PITA but it's all that was...

    Worst Recordings - post the stuff that you would rather forget.

    Rob.... wow, those singers were awful. The first one I made to 1:40 and the second just 0:45. Not just pitch but timing as well. I need to dig back into my archives to find one that's most hideous. I recorded a female singer once that had a good voice but couldn't sing in tune to save her life...

    Talk about room reflections . . .

    I can see the pics now. Cool room. I'm definitely no expert but looking at all of the wood, angled walls, and uneven surfaces tell me they are controlling the reflections and not removing them. I remember being in a studio once that was totally dead and I didn't like it.

    For whatever reason I can't see the pictures

    ROK-LOK - Universal Strap Lock Solution (demo)

    Looks like a worthwhile product if you're looking for an alternative to what's already out there. I'm pretty happy with the strap locks that I have so I won't be switching.

    Different Gear-Hook ups?

    I have a similar situation in that I have a midi-controller keyboard that has USB straight to the computer and I have an old keyboard with midi ports. For that one I just run the stereo signal out to my interface which is fine because I don't use it a lot and it sounds good.

    Mics for Gongs, Tibetan Bowls, Rainsticks, Shamanic Drums...

    I have found that my most inexpensive mic's do a good job of recording percussion instruments which are the lowly AT2020. I have two of them and use both for recording things like moroccas and Shakers in stereo. They are a medium diameter condenser and handle higher SPLs than other condenser...

    The plugin scam exposed. Did you fall for it?

    I don't fall for most of that crap but I think some do. I honestly would rather not have a fancy interface because those graphics use resources and screen space. When I find something that works I stick with it. Yes, years ago I was always on the lookout for the next best thing but it didn't...

    I have a crazy drum idea, but I need advice

    I was thinking the same thing. My brother has 2 drum sets and neither one has bottom heads because he likes the sound better.

    Have you ever had to go back and learn something of your own?

    They actually do though. Plenty of song writers sell songs to artists and also sell licenses to sync music. Also, once music is released most people have no idea it's been stolen unless it becomes a hit. Lots of copyrights are being violated all the time

    Have you ever had to go back and learn something of your own?

    Many of my songs I write at the computer and I record as I go. Once the song is done I move on to the next song so if I want to play the song at a later time I have to try to remember what chords and scales I used. There is a chance that I will play original songs live so that will be interesting.

    Cash or Credit?

    I always use credit as long as there is no extra charge which is 95% of the time. I earn points and turn them in for cash and I never carry a balance.

    New to recording.

    Do you have a DAW? If not you need one. How many instruments will you be recording at the same time? If only one at a time you don't need the mixer unless you want to keep a bunch of instruments plugged in all the time. The loop station will plug into an input on either the Presonus or mixer.

    The ‘Bassists are underrated’ thread

    IMO, every element is equally important. If any one fails the music as a whole fails.

    Are clocks now dead?

    I don't like any sort of jewelry on me so as soon as I got a cell phone I ditched the wrist watch. I have a digital clock and thermometer in my car so I don't miss those items on public buildings. That said I recently asked a grade school teacher if they still teach kids to read analog clocks...

    All analog recording. Full band.

    I thought it was interesting but I like some Max Roach so there's that. Two things I did not like: one, the drum sound and how repetitious they were and two, I didn't like the bass playing constant 1/8th notes. I actually liked the rest. I listened on my phone so I can't comment on the sound...
