    Recording can be such fun

    Today I started a new recording session for a 7-song cd. And boy can instruments and musicians make a difference to your mood. The guitarist playing on Sadowski guitar / ENGL amps / TC electronics, the bassplayer using his very old Jazzbass with custombuild pre-amp. These guys were playing...

    Soundtracs Solitaire

    I am looking to buy a new studio console. I am about to leave the digital mixing domain (hey Sonusman who would ever though me saying this) and invest in a (semi)big new recording console.

    My studio organised a contest among highschool bands. 8 bands were selected to record their song, which results in a full size cd with minimal 1000 copies. Great stuff and lots of fun. Now in one of the bands a girl in the age of 15 sings the sentence.. 'they love me, fuck me, throw me away'...

    Replacing AudioMedia 3 or not

    OK, I got flamed before for being such a stuburn bastard with regards to 16bit /24 bit /44.1/ 96 etc. Here's my situation : Mix is coming from TMD8000 with automation and SPDif or AesEBU output. Source is coming from DA88 and DA38 so program material and console sync is at 16bit/44.1K. I am...

    Audio burning speed

    For years I have burned my premasters on 1x speed, and safety or productions copies on 1x or 2x speed. Untill recent I always worked with SCSI writers instead of rewriters. Question: I believe speed has no influence on soundquality, rather than on reliabilty. My writers do support 8x speed...

    AV-JEFFE anyone heard of this brand?

    A few years ago, a guy I know who works at a major music distribution centre asked me to try out some new mics which were still in the development stage. It concerned a bassdrum mic and some tom-mikes. I tried it and thought it was almost an exact copy of the shure beta52. Both sound and image...

    What's the deal with these two brands ? I'm gathering a nice setup of TLAudio units. I recently bought my fourth unit. Now I see 99% identical stuff from HHB in the same pricerange, only optical difference seems to be the colour. Are they producing the same units under the different name or what.
