I've been a fan of Mr Gallagher ever since I picked my jaw up off the floor the first time I heard "cruise on out" many years ago. His untimely passing created a vacuum in music that won't be filled any time soon. Rory may be gone, but to those of us who know, he'll never be forgotten.

I'm still researching software-anybody using Tracktion? Why...or why not?

"Foam" source Just my 2cents-from a guy who spent a small fortune on Auralex, do yourself a favor and check out markertek.com. They have their house brand of foam(s), which while not available in as many colors as the Auralex, are considerably cheaper. If my memory serves me, their bass traps...

Radar 24 alternative I just checked out iz's website-yow!! Those Radar 24's are mighty pricey!!! Any alternatives that won't land me in divorce court??

Epi Valve jr For what its worth, I got an EV jr when they first came out, and was pretty disappointed-very vanilla sounding. So it sat for a few months, and one day on a whim I bought the hot rod kit from Mercury Magnetics, and had my amp tech install it. Wow! Night and day! I love that little...

Oooops-sorry, my green is showing!! I've spent the last 30+ years gigging, and even though I have accumulated truckloads of gear, its all geared toward live performing, so for all intents and purposes, I have nothing. When I started to build this studio, my intention was to purchase a high end...

Ok I've built the room. 12" walls lined w/sheetblok, drywall hung on "Z" channel,floating floor and a small fortune in auralex, 4'x8' double paned window (I know it was'nt necessary,but it just looks cool!!). Now its time for a recording platform, and I'm hoping you guys that have been doing...
