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...

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. The reason I am leaving the digital ones is because the current one is becoming to small, and I don't want...

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'...

Will sell for $500 each. Real nice comp. Have about 400 of them. More is no problem. No refunds, no garantee:) :)

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...

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...

I always have to laugh when I see this name. Translated into dutch it would be something like groundpig , well actually than it would have to be Aardvarken, but it's close enough. Everytime I see this brand it reminds me of ALF hahahaha

The firm that normally makes all my custombuild studiogadgets came up with this eq. We don't know what brand or type it is because the casing doesn't tell, and neither do the innerparts. After dissambly it turned out be be stocked with pro electronics, and is definitly of high quality. We don't...

I recently bought a Cort bass as kind of an art object. I don't play bass or guitar but this thing looked amazing cool. I just payed $400 and a bassist who normally playes musicman says it sounds really great. This bass won't be played though, it stands like a painting in my house.

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...

Boy, I do have some real goodies myself, but you should see what my girlfriend gets away with. She has an education as a classical guitar player, and bought a concertguitar like two years ago. Nowadays she hardly plays herself (she is always busy teaching) and this guitar has been laying...

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.

I heard the other day that Michael Jackson mayby had to sell his rights to the Beatlestuff becuase he had borrowed 300 million dollar from SONY for recording his latest album. What the hell did he need 300 million dollar for. If I hire a topstudio it will cost me about $2500 a day. Lets say I...

I can buy a second hand pair. I have the model 1 which s better and i really love this mic. Does anybody have any good or bad experiences with the model 5 ?

Just saw a pair of second hand ns40's for sale. Weren't to expensive also. I have a great monitor setup and, once sold my own NS10's. Never regreted it, but a lot of costumers are familiar wit the ns10's. With the end of the year coming it's mayby a good idea to spend some extra cash before...

While reading some threads I occasionally see some references to books. Mayby some of these books are nice christmas presents so.....who knows a good studio/recording/audio/etc.-book

I'm having a bit of a tonal disagreement with somebody concerning these monitors. Does anybody have opinions about these monitors?

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the TC electronic Unity card for the Yamaha 02R. It is said to be sounding like the TC M2000. Now I own a M3000 and I love it, but I'm not sure wether the unity does what the brochure says it does. Anybody any experience. I can buy one for only €355...
