thanks again! Recording about a cd worth of stuff a day has given me the challenge of mixing quickly. I spend about 0-5 minutes on each song. If I spend more time than that, I get backlogged instantly and my hard drive gets filled up with unmixed songs....... My studio is 12'x12' with a 6'3" ceiling. 2 walls are cinderblock and 2 sheet rocked. the floor is concrete and the ceiling acoustic tile. I have done no room treatment. I have read about how important that is, but I seem to miss that point. I can hear my stuff fine through my monitors. Learning this on my own, I had no idea, and now figure what the heck. I play very quiet. I use a chopstick on the beater pedal for the snare and ride cymbal and have moved my amp outside the door. Again that is quiet too - aprinceton reverb with the volume around 1.5. I still get a lot of bleed through the vocal mic with the snare, cymbal, and guitar strings. I have daydreams of building long pedal that go through walls and hook up to the snare, bass, and ride cymbals and each of them would be in a fairly isolated set up. I don't want total isolation, but a bit more would be fun to try. Thanks! Walter
