Not the best shots of the new space, but here is a little tour that I threw together for my site. It has some pans of the equipment and recording space.

Agreed. SDC for the hats. Assuming you're using a spaced pair of condensors for overheads, adding another mic above the ride cymbal is just asking for phase problems. If the ride just isn't loud enough (which I doubt) and you must mic it, make sure the overhead is at least 3x as far from the...

There are too many variables to give you a definitive answer, but in general: A. Deal with the bass frequencies in the corners first. B. Deal with primary reflection points next. C. In your case, probably provide some separation just for the sake of the people in the adjoining room...

Can you describe the setup? I'm assuming that you have some Avid or M-Audio interface that is sync'ing MIDI back and forth to the Yamaha... If the Yamaha is transmitting MTC and ProTools is reading MTC (at the same frame rate), then it should sync up. To be fair, I run Native and not SE, so...

:confused: Control surfaces don't "sum". Explain what you want here. I think it's safe to say we don't understand what you want... The Nucleus is a fine board and can handle several banks of tracks. The AWS-series is a completely different animal, designed for tracking lots of inputs at...

Yes. Change your username, please.

Sounds like a long plate with a big predelay setting. You can hear a distinct gap between the main vocal track and when the reverb wash kicks in. Seeing as how it was the early 80's, this was probably an AMS unit or a Lexicon 224. I think those ended up on more than half of every record made...

As I was driving home this afternoon, I was listening to a classic rock station and a through crept into my mind about a Tony Maserati interview I read recently. In the interview, Maserati mentions something to the degree of "I mix the music to support the vocal"; essentially that the vocal...

I recently completed the studio at our new house in the Kansas City suburbs and thought I would make a brief post here on how it was made. This is my “combo” room... As is the case with many of you, both tracking and mixing are done in a single room. The dimensions are not exactly ideal, but...

Shoot! I just got moved in to the new space and knew I forgot something! I will go and fetch it immediately!

Man, thanks for posting these. It's a lot of fun hearing what other people are working on. I've never worked on metal music, so this was interesting to play around with: https://soundcloud.com/kinetic-sound-labs/nova-2-rough-mix-1 Mixed in Avid ProTools 9; Avid Artist Mix / Transport; BX5a &...

Here's another mix; fixed the ending flange and brought the vocals back a bit... https://soundcloud.com/kinetic-sound-labs/nova-rough-mix-2

They are there... I should have pointed out that the drums fade from untreated -> treated -> untreated -> treated. About 10 seconds or so of each.
