rob, i can give you some very simple things that can change that for you. Do you know Zepplin used three mics...best drum sound in existence. Bonhams drums were so damn large..he would leave the kick head on...i dont know what mics they used except for a U67 or a U47..the old FET's.. I was told...

no brother, when i say hardware, I am talking about outgear. Compressors, limiters, effects, etc, that are actual units, not software plugins...remember im the old guy, so im using semantics you cool kids dont use anymore..sorry for being so out of touch

see, pages did it to me again..hope you can read this I like stereo for acoustic. I play one side, then the other. Do not be an amateur and cut a track, copy it, and shift the timing. Believe it or not, those small things add up 1 by 1 to the summation of a pro sound. But if your...

ok Jamez, this is long. I will post twice I always hated "use your ears". Is code for im not going to tell you...or every room is different. Ok, lets stay with that theory. So your cutting acoustic, or drums where room can matter, but you dont have the room. When you have the...

you got it max...its sad. Chris lord alge will openly admit that he wouldnt even be a pro if it wasnt for the kindness of Bob Clearmountain teaching him...then he does interviews and i cant believe the load of bullshit he lays on newbies. It is so far from the truth, and from what he actually...

Or just ask Lazer...there are those of us who were taught by the best while making minimum wage as a studio tech, so the knowledge was gold given to us for free. We still believe it should be passed on, and not in part, but fully so those who wish have a real chance and doing something with...

boy Crows, did you nail that one. The artist of today use a phrase too much that will destroy a finished product everytime. " Screw it!..Ill fix it in the mix" Thats just plain old inexperience talking. In a generation where understanding and recording above a noise floor is not necessary...

you got it max...and its the person turning the knobs. One of my songs from the past was mixed on a studio and engineer from The Disc LTD had just opened up. He had a Mackie 24 channel and one Presonus 8 channel compressor/gate. We used an Audio Technica 4044 for everything, even acoustic...

There are a lot of pros that are great guys and will share their expertise. I love many of them. Im not begrudging or commenting about them at all. Its the liars that bother me, and from many of the replies I got, I can see many of you notice it and are tired of it

ok spantini, thats what I mean, but you dont have to be there. Ask me specific questions and I will give to you in detail. Whether my skill-set is above average is a very easy thing to discern. If what i tell you doesnt work, Im a Charlatan as well. What you said is right on the money, and thats...

What I meant was that Protools, which is a killer editing tools, was never designed to be a recording device. It was made to edit, so the A/D convertors are shit. I really didnt know why, I just knew that a cut would bother my ears after tracking. My friend has a PhD in audio engineering and was...

Dont feel bad, I loose myself. I used to drive my my professors crazy. They used to tell me it resembled a stream of consciousness instead of a paper. Rob, I apologize. I write as I think and dont go back and read. Ill have to start doing that, cause your asolutely right. What good is knowledge...

actually, thata a great idea. Remember guys, im old, not young and hip like you guys. I still write my track sheets on paper. The new way of doing things is not always comfortable to me, so maybe you guys can school me on that. Like this from keith...im gonna listen to you and do that. than you

Sorry guys, i did. I used a pages doc from my mac, but when i uploaded it, it changed. I am used to word docs...thats the type I always used when I turned my research papers in for my BA and MA...and I wasnt even good at it then. ..lol..My profs used to tell me all the time my paragraphs were...

Let me just say that im tired of watching the industry pros lie to up and comers just to take their money, and then give them a promise that cant possibly be achoeved even by an old pro like me. I started engineering on my first record deal in 1990. I cut my teeth at Westlake, Musical Animal...
