    drums, fiverr, playing for credit and promotion not money, lofi recording

    OK, not knowing all the details, $5 is not much money. Playing for free is a whole different thing. The reason musicians can't get paid a decent wage for playing is exactly what you are saying, "I was looking for a forum where musicians may want to play on someone's track in exchange for...

    Reaper and SMPTE incoming sync

    The source is a hard disc recorder which is also a SMPTE generator, it locks all gear in the studio to timecode, my automated console, and my midi synchroniser (old atari 1040 with unitor attachment). I want to take the Atari out of the system and use Reaper as the Midi software. Reaper will...

    Reaper and SMPTE incoming sync

    I have just been reading the manual and it seems that Reaper can chase SMPTE code. I am looking to replace my old Atari 1040 (no laughing) midi machine with some other software, and I realised that reaper can do midi well, I also need to chase SMPTE as I have the whole studio locked to SMPTE...

    Limiter - master

    I usually use the L3 in the mastering setup, I put it last in the chain to just capture any wayward peaks slipping through and to render the 24bit to 16bit as it seems to do this well, in other words I set the L3 between 1 to 4 db input and have the output set to -0.2db, set for CD mater in the...

    Low input from Sennheiser md421

    I am assuming that you wired the Kleintuchel (din with 3 pins) connector to XLR correctly? Alan.

    Mics used in home studios in the mid/late 70’s?

    The first recording setup of any quality, after the Toshiba portable mono cassette recorder (I was the only person in my school with a cassette recorder, showing my age) was 2 x SHURE PE585 and a TEAC A360. I ended up a bit later with a TEAC 3340S for tracking and the A360 to mix too. I still...

    Performance Simulator

    We should set this up at some of our gigs to make the audience feel bigger than the 2 or 3 that turn up. Just joking. Alan.

    Tascam M-216 mixer pots

    If you can take the base off the mixer and spray the pots from underneath it will work better. If you look at the pick I attached of a typical pot, there should be an opening at the bottom of the pot where it looks like a cut out (indent) spray in there. Alan.

    my d.i.y. gobo/vocal iso project

    It works fine even with some reflection, keeps it live sounding. Some of mine are padded below the window to make it non reflective. I sometimes drape a length on sound dreading polyester over the top partly covering the glass if the reflections do present a problem. You need a glass window...

    my d.i.y. gobo/vocal iso project

    I have some just about the same, great for blocking a bit of spill when tracking vocals with live instruments and for tailoring the room sound if needed. Below is an example when the album was being tracked live with vocal, sax and percussion, the glass screen is used to reduce the spill from...

    Don't you just love analog

    Just thought I would share what I have been live mixing on over the last week, the in house guy has been away so I did all shows. I usually only mix in the small room for Wednesdays and occasionally in the large room for other shows, but from this week all shows are in the large room so at...

    Tascam MX2424 front panel expansion bay

    Hi, I am not sure what is going on, but just to clarify. The internal drive is usually ID 0, if you want to check take out the drive in the bay and see what drive ID the MX wants to record too. With the bay drive removed the MX will only see the one drive and identify it. If the internal...

    What keyboard do you use?

    I have an imitation apple lookalike keyboard that is for PC, love the small size and the soft keys. I usually have it sitting on the mixing console, it does not take up much room and the flat plastic base does not damage the console. These things are pretty cheap and mine has lasted for many...

    Late arriving Musicians

    I do the sound at a music club one night a week, usually close to $0 but because I believe in keeping this venue open I don't mind. It is a club where people come to listen not get drunk and talk. I get there a good 2 hrs before the show, so I can check the PA is working correctly, as I am not...

    Helmholtz resonator and room modes

    Square room is the biggest problem here unfortunately. My control room is only 3.8 mtrs wide and roughly 6 mtrs long, with the bass trapping there are no problems with the bass at all. I actually planed the control room size around the building restraints and by picking a golden ratio, 1.00 x...
