I'm running a small project studio that can do tracking and mixing. I'm thinking about offering outsourced mastering as a service to my clients as well - that is, instead of providing them with the mixed projects / 2buss bounces for them to take somewhere, I would instead sort of manage a...
Here's another one of my friend's songs that I'm mixing. This one is more country-y. I had a hard time with the 75-150hz region - this is the first one of his I've mixed recently which features electric guitar - Tele with Twin Reverb, and it was more difficult than I would have thought...
Yes to everything, but there are a few things to think about. You can get a midi based control surface like this one:
but:
1) you'll probably need to individually map the different controls to the things you want covered in the DAW. Sometimes there are templates and preconfigured settings...
I bought two SG clones on ebay that were made in Vietnam, I think - it was about 150 all in for each ($50 for the guitar, $100 for shipping). They each have tons of mother of pearl and abalone inlay. I had to replace pretty much all the hardware, including the pickups, and get a full setup on...
This is me on guitar, my son on small pipes, and our friend on djembe. I thought it would be easier to mix than it was - the guitar, the pipes (especially the drones) and the top end of the drum all sort of sit in the same area.
The highland small pipes are the smaller, indoor-voice-using...
Sorry for the unimaginative playing - I was just compelled to try and record this - it's my JCM 800 low sensitivity channel with the amp dimed. It's about 127 decibels in the room, and I didn't want the cops to show up, so I kept it short and didn't get a chance to experiment with mic...
Been playing for about 30 years, but I've only been using pedals for the last year and half because of this new band I'm in, so I'm not too far up the learning curve. I use one of the echo pedals for a chorus-y sound and the other for actual delays. I like them both, but I don't use them much...

I'm continuing to mix for my friend - y'all's comments were *invaluable* last time, and so I thought I'd come back to the well.
As before, I'm only mixing - I can pass along performance/tracking/arrangment/song comments, but I only have direct control over...
I'm doing some mixing for a friend. I feel like I'm getting some traction, and he likes the mixes so far, but there's nothing like the cold uncaring clinical scalpel of you HR folks
Here's one of the songs:

I just started using a hardware...
No guidance for the impulsive? I couldn't wait. I both like and hate doing these tests and at the same time appreciate that they're kind of a waste of time (hence the reason why those people who have the expertise and resources to do the tests well generally don't do them, leaving the job to...
Hey I have a new UA 6176 - i have not yet applied power to it. Here's the guts:
Build quality is very good, imo. The case is a little flimsy compared to some other rack units I have, but it keeps the weight down, which is greatly appreciated - my main rack is oppressively heavy already.
I...
It's real - and it's real small - I think it belongs to the 1 watt club. And it may be a founding member of the one knob club - that's about all I can handle. Had the volume at about the 4 o'clock position. The guitar is a SG (standard, I think) with a dirty fingers pickup.
The main problem...
I just noticed that the MXL v63m is the stupid deal of the day today (nov 26, 2013) for $60. At musician's friend - I won't put a link because tomorrow it will be a bad link, such is the nature of the stdod.
I have never used one, and I'm not gonna get one, and I don't really like the other...
I actually just did a ton of things to this Blues Jr. that I've had for a while (not to mention the ton of other things I've done to it over the years). I'll go into detail, but for now I'm hoping for a quick win in the case that someone knows this sound and its probable cause -- I'm attaching...
totally stoked - I did the series mod that ashcat walked us through in the other thread. I posted some updated mp3s. My daughter ran off with my headphones and my monitors aren't set up, so I haven't really, um, listened to these, but this a clean and dirty run through - I added some gain to...
actually, I downloaded a software oscilloscope, and the screwdriver test became doable - here they are:
the bridge:
and the neck:
they look the same, no?
I have a sg clone with two P94 pickups (humbucker sized single coils). It has a three way toggle switch, and I wired the pickups so that when the switch is in the center position, both pickups are active and are humbucking each other. Sure enough, the single coil hum you can hear when either...
