MY new digs:

The space I ended up getting had a lot of potential BUT my biggest worry was 3 windows and a door that were on one side of the space. Pretty much all the materials I used were already in the basement of this place and what I didn't have I found just by asking around. First, I put drywall on...

My basic room dimensions are 20' x 15' 8' ceilings except in one corner there is a cubby that is 4' wide x 3' deep. Its a perfect spot to shove a desk, to be out of the way , for the laptop and since one side is floor to ceiling shelves store stuff. Then I got to thinking that it probably isn't...

Is there like some standard I should be shooting for. I am covering up some old windows and a door from the inside of my space using insulation and drywall and I have the option of covering those up from the outside also if needed. Im guessing that if I cant hear stuff leaking in once im done...

Im looking at a place to rehearse and record in that has some pretty big windows ,all on one side, of two rooms. Im not looking to do extensive treatment but I am concerned about reflections while monitoring/mixing. My thought is to hang some heavy ass curtains and set up against the windowed...

Since my first drum set Ive always played Paiste cymbals, and since then Ive played almost all their lines, 602-2000-2002-3000-rude-signiture-dark energy-& twenty's. Now I just have some 2002's and some second generation twenty series cymbals. Im bored with these and want to try out some new...

Ive replaced ram in laptops and towers quite a few times but yesterday was the first time I ever had a bad stick.(laptop) Scared the shit out of me , after booting up just a black screen and weird beeps, I thought I may have shorted something out even though I had my static thingy on. Anyway...

Ive had a 1641 for awhile now and have been happy with it so far. When a dear friend of mine passed away he left me his 1800 which he never used. I never bothered hooking it up until now because I figured it was the same interface with a different number ,but after firing it up this weekend I...

Working on a project that has a couple of songs in 3/4. I love 3/4 and can lock in and find the groove Im looking for, BUT I am struggling to fit a couple of fills in here and there that don't suck and feel natural. Anyone have some tips or songs I could listen to for some inspiration besides...

Picked up a Shure KSM27 today for $100.00 plus $25.00 in gas tops. Damn thing could pass as brand new. Thru it up just test it out and it works flawlessly. Anyone out there have anything they prefer this mic on??

Anyone ever do this? Im guessing it would work just fine using the line outs of a different interface into the line inputs of my regular interface . Am I missing something?

Since the thread that tried to cover this got derailed big time yesterday I thought I would start another one with some interesting links. I talked to a lot of salesman, read a few articles, and ended up changing my opinion on where to spend my money for my recording chain. Lets keep it on...

Pick up my guitar , it all sounds like white noise. Listen to some old ideas......they all suck. Move the studio around, its clean now but still ,my creative juices are just not flowing. Bought a new mic, sounds good, except my ideas going thru it don't. WTF! I think I may need to play a gig...

I honestly didn't realize how freakin big this thing was/is till I got it home, plus it is amazingly light. Looks to be maple with reinforcement rings maybe just 4 ply. Gold sparkle , missing the badge, havent opened it up yet to look for a stamp. The shell was cracked at some point but repaired...

Ok you A-holes, set aside your jealousy that you cant move all 4 limbs at once and give me some advice on buying a guitar. Im set on buying a epiphone les paul, and I don't really care what model as long as its the color I want and has a set neck. On my recent trip to GC I messed around with...

Wasnt sure where to post this but I figured all you analog dudes would appriciate, at least to some degree , albeit with maybe a little jealousy, this documentary. No matter the level success you or whoever, have achieved, be it as a musician, engineer, producer, etc, we all remember moments...

Even though Ive been recording awhile I always question myself when gain staging with my mixer to my interface. Here's my scenario- Mixer DDA- I like these pre's and the eq is useful- subed to my interface Tascam US-1641- This interface has been rock solid for me except I find the pre's...

Ive settled on the mic that I want, Bock 195. Its not cheap, but I feel like if I were to decide to sell it off someday, it would hold most of its value, do you agree? Guess who I have to convince of this fact....dont let me down boys!!

Ok here's what I came up with, I literally made a list of all the points you guys made and did my best to address each problem, for whats its worth I do think its better although, I may have once again cranked the drums a tad too much? Thanks and let me know what you think! Sideways Mix #2 by...
