Greets everyone, Here's a brand new track by Canadian retro headbangers, BETRAYER. The song title is "Shadowed Force." Tracking/Mixing was done completely with SawStudio, and the mastering was done by the highly talented Phil DeMetro at Lacquer Channel Mastering in Toronto, Ontario. Vocals...

Hi gang, I've got a short clip here that I'd love to get some feedback on. Yep, it's pure cheeseball 80's metal: The complete anithesis of what's "cool" these days. However, any constructive mix criticizm would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -0z-...

Here's two clips, sort of a yin & yang thing, from a Black Metal project I'm working on. These are very much "work in progress" but any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Here goes: "The Sun was in my Eyes, part 1"...

Just curious, if anyone has given this card a serious test drive yet. How well does this thing stack up (the M version, with the so called 'mastering grade' converters) against say, a Delta 1010, or a Lynx TWO, or even Apogee converters... -0z-

2 Peavey/Audio Media Research VMP-2 Mic Pre / EQ units, in near mint condition. Probably the only truly great piece of gear Peavey ever made, and they had to buy Audio Media Research to do that! Each Channel has -20 dB pad, phantom power, switchable EQ, plus 40 & 80 hz rolloffs. The EQ's are...

For those of you who walked my through construction of my new studio last year, I've finally put an mp3 up of something recorded there. What can I say? I've had my nose to the grindstone ever since I opened up, and never had the time to upload anything. Anyway, it's Death Metal with a female...

Ok gang, here's Bloodshoteye doing "Death's Sweet Revenge." Yes, that's vocals by Jessica Desjardins, one of the heaviest female vocalists on the planet. If you're into the death metal thing, check it out. http://www.spectresound.org/sound/Death%27s%20Sweet%20Revenge.mp3 Comments, questions...

Just curious as to who is using a Lynx card with Sonar. If anyone could give me info as to what it's like to work with them... i.e. sound quality, driver compatibility, latency, etc, etc, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, -0z-

Hey Gang, here's my inital asessment of Sonar 3 Producer edition. I've just recently upgraded my computer to a P4 2.8 Ghz, 800mhz FSB, and 1 gig of ram. Sonar 3 arrived much to my surprise on Friday: I ordered it last Monday.... So hats off to CW for the quick delivery. Anyway...

Ok, as promised, my final update. I've finally got a lull in the action long enough to update my website. There's quite a few new pics up here: http://www.spectresound.org/construction%20update%20final.htm As well as a personal thank you to those who helped me out...

Well folks, I've had the new place open for about 3 weeks now, and I'm already 3/4 thru my second project. I had a band come in at 11 am Friday, and we recorded till 11 pm Sunday. For six songs (hard rock) we managed to do drums, bass, 2 guitars (rhythm, lead & clean) and even some vocals...

Here's a pic of the control room as of today. I'm still doing some last minute things, but so far, it sounds downright amazing. The low end response is really, really great. Frequency sweep tests have shown a couple of peaks & dips here and there, but overall it's very, very neutral. I...

Nearly finished.... NEARLY damnit! Hopefully I'll be doing my load-in this weekend. We made one change, and that would be changing the soffit face from cloth-covered insulation to cloth covered plywood. Many thanks to John for straightening me out on that one. I'll post some pics on my...

Ok, here's a little "creative decorating" for soffit faces
