    how to start a career in recording industry?

    I'm a little late to this thread.... but heres my answer. First, these other guys are likely right. Music recording schools can tend to paint a rosy picture of the field and make you believe that you be making wads of cash when you get out.... of course any college program leads you to believe...

    New (new-ish) Argument About Downloads

    Putting moral issues aside, heres my realistic take on the issue.... and I think this is the general consencus among people... people just say it in different ways... but its all the same... The old joke is that alot of people claim that they only listen to mp3's for 'samples' to see if they...

    I'm just an old guy trying to have fun with my humble home studio.....

    Wow, that was an enjoyable song.... pretty good mixing too... your certainly on the right track and know what your doing. You hear a couple occasional bad guitar strums (I counted only 4)during the song.... where you can hear the string got plucked a little wierd; a little too hard, wrong...

    More music. Judge it, or just listen.

    SLKEEN> I'm going to get down dirty and honest here. I really don't consider this loopy loop sampled genre to be music. Its feels cold, soulless, heartless and just DEAD. Maybe for cheap background sound effects in cheap TV shows and cheesy movies, but it just doesn't have any legs of its own to...

    More music. Judge it, or just listen.

    Having a band with multiple members can be a real pain in the rear-end. Creative differences, you know and all that. Personally, I agree with other posters who I've heard time and time again, when they say..... "why must the drums always go "BOOM-BOOM-BOOM"? I'd also like to see more complex...

    Something Worth Checking Out

    GREAT all-around. Singer... very good voice. The occasional breathing between words on the voice is fine for me... gives it character... plenty of commercial rock music has that. It's amazing that there are so many "home-brew" groups out there that have the ability and technology to produce...

    Power supplies and patchbays

    Patchbays, I suggest the Samson 1/4 inch balanced S-Patch-Plus.... it's one of the few models which lets you switch modes (Normal/Half-normal/Thru) mode on all inputs with a front of unit selectable switch (most models dont have that)..... Don't get the patch bays that have a preset amount of...

    Upward Expander - looking for best models

    I'm looking for an UPWARD expander... a product which is becoming harder to find, I think, nowadays... They used to be popular I guess in the early days of digital when people wanted to expand the dynamic range of analogue recorded mediums like tape or vinyl.... but with everything digital...

    noise gates

    I use the drawmer.... but just to add to the list.... don't forget to add the Samson s-gate-4 (quad noise gate).

    NY Times article on home recording and soundproofing

    Hey Rod, I'll let you know in about 10 years if the glue holds :-) I used an awful lot of that stuff in the 3 studios that I have built. Most of the time I screwed the second layer of sheetrock to the first...... but sometimes I just got lazy and glued the second layer on with PL-400...
