RAMI, let me just say "absolutely" to your original post. There is no question in my mind if LedZep's 1971 Stairway to Heaven was posted on this forum we'd all rip it to shreds and say it's absolute shit, from a recording and technological perspective. I think that's for good reason though...

Here is how I have my studio monitors wired. Mostly these days I do stereo work however when I built my studio 4-5 years ago I anticipated doing a lot of surround work, so I wired the studio for stereo and surround (5.1 and 7.1). In stereo mode only the front left and front right monitors are...

No, but I vaguely remember it being named after a guy. Something like Bill Smith electronics (made up name). I loved mine, and definitely got a lot of use out of it. The one thing I liked was that the schematics were available as was all the pinouts, so mine had a lot of homemade things...

I used to have one of those, they were made by a British company and were basically bi-directional midi-to-FSK converter. Worked with any tape recorder with a mic/line in and line out jack. I used a mono tape recorder from radio shack I got on sale for like $15 or something like that. The...

I have a sub, and with a gizmo I made I can switch it into the stereo monitoring buss, or switch it to the sub channel for surround mixing, or I can switch it off entirely. For stereo mixing, which is most of what I do, I often switch it on and off to hear the mix with and without the sub, just...

That's not true. When I dig up weeds in my yard I often have to wave to chinamen. Damned roots.

After looking at that auction and some of his others, it looks to me a couple of older studios in Louisiana got submerged and now he's offering "flood decks". I wonder if he sells cars too.

Laaaaaaaaaaa. ...Laaaaaaaaa. .....Laaaaaaaa. Eeww, that sounded terrible. Must be the cheap 4-track I'm using, for certainly it's not my skillset. ;-) I think it's more of a lack of confidence in ability to sell combined with a strong desire to get customers quickly. Obviously if you've...

I run into this all the time with my IT consulting business. I have a rate sheet for different skillsets and project types, and a lot of recently downsized IT guys poise themselves as IT consultants and undercut my rates significantly. For example, a month ago, a customer balked at paying...

Yes, I've made racks, both "built in" where it's part of the room structure and "upright" where I plop them on the floor and can move them around. Racks as part of the room structure (with the countertop became a standing producer's desk) And a rack that's not attached to anything and...

What you've drawn in the PDF document is a basic schematic of how things will be wired, noting which side of the wall they will be on. Are you looking for layout help or wiring help?

Actually, there are no bad questions.... except the ones that go unasked.

Air horns on my F350 - 140db each, it has four in two frequencies.

LOL nothing wrong with a little style....

Having recorded many garage bands doing covers (and sometimes originals) many moons ago I feel his pain. I think it this site I posted about this - one band actually spent just about all of their pre-paid studio day arguing with each other. And arguing and arguing. I and other employees...

Multi-tracking over the internet is fairly easy with broadband, and I've participated in such many times. The one problem I run into often is band members committing their track by a certain date, and not delivering even remotely close to that date and I'm not there in person to push them to...

When buying an axe (basses too) I focus mostly on balance and playability. I can repaint it or rewire it no problem but if it's awkward to play or pulls on the strap funny because it's not balanced, I find them fairly miserable to play. I also can't fix those kinds of issues.

To be honest, it didn't sound very good on my monitors, either set. So I pulled out my msi-wind "netbook" and gave it a listen, didn't sound very good there either. I think for the reasons others have mentioned already, it's simply not a good mix to begin with and what you play it on won't...

When I bought this house someone gave me a coffee table book called "Dancing with Cats", with astounding pictures of very artsy-types doing all sorts of creative dancing with their cats, their cats copying their poses (or the other way around, who knows). I had several cats at the time and as a...

Then believe. It's AOK. There are many aspects that contribute to the quality of a recording, and it isn't all technical. We focus on the technical here because that's what this forum is about, but obviously if you record six puking cats with the very best equipment (or a cheap 4-track and a...
