I use the internal hard drive on my computer to store software and misc. data. All my projects are stored to an external hard drive (LaCie 160 GB) and it is beginning to load up. So far I've been storing everything and I've got many thousands of files, perhaps a few dozen worth keeping.

Here's something I'm working on from a live concert this summer - friends of mine who've been playing in the same band for thirty years or so. It's a draft cut, so it's on the hot side. Lemme know yer thoughts... Thanks!

With all the QC / lead paint etc. problems being uncovered in China, resulting in heavy losses and massive product recalls, I was wondering if the mic market will be disrupted. That, of course, raises a fundamental issue: If Chinese mics become scarce, then what the heck are you guys going to...
Does anyone have experience with Duncan Turner acoustic instrument preamps? Brand name is D-TAR. They seem overbuilt with a lot of thought and engineering, but I can't get my hands on one to listen to. I'm thinking mostly of the Mama Bear effects box and the Solstice blender.
Leaving tomorrow morning for Lisbon, Maine, to do the Moxie Festival Saturday night gig... The only bad thing about this is I have to drive the truck. :D
Here's a link to a fun time and the world's worst webpage! www.moxiefestival.com
I've been working on reconstructing stereo images from mono takes in live shows, using some of the spectral tools in Adobe. Fun stuff. Here's an example. It's a live cover by the Dave Keller Trio during a concert on March 10th. I handled the live sound and captured one track from FOH mains with...

My band will be in Bath, Maine at the Montsweag Roadhouse on Friday and Saturday, June 8th and 9th... Rockabilly, Bob Wills and a bit of old Hank tossed in for good measure. Saturday is Rusty's 30th high school class reunion so the place will be pretty wild; the whole joint might end up getting...
A good friend of mine owns the guitar store in town and has been building ukeleles. The instruments are nice and alive. They are beginnng to turn up in some cool places. . Here's one of his customers playing The Josephine. Its a good feeling to see this kind of stuff happening...
Check out the latest issue of The Strad for an interesting article by David Gusset delving into his geometric theory of violin design. He studied and measured early Cremonese instrument design for many years. The theorizes that the "golden proportions" of Cremonese instruments derive from...
Rusty Romance did a gig on Friday night in a big granite shed. I tracked and mixed building with one FOH send and an ambient mic to an AKAI DPS16 and then transferred the two tracks panned hard R and L to the DAW in Reaper. I doubled the FOH send twice and eq'd each to bring out a bass track and...
Little suckers, aren't they? Just delivered yesterday.
The black ones (MSH-1 O) are omni; the black / silver (MSH-1 C) are cardioid, sort of; they have little holes drilled in the composite housing on the Neutrik connector behind the element. The longer one has a tube in it... :cool:
These...
If you cruise the surplus office supply places - particularly state or college surplus outfits - you may run across those steel / melamine printer stands. Take a close look - some are 19" from frame to frame and the structure is welded square steel tubing. I rigged up a neat rack with one of...
Does anyone out there have any experience with using a Tascam US2400 controller with Adobe Audition 2.0? I can't get any response from Tascam, but it would be pretty cool to be able to use a tactile controller like that.
