I interned on tape in the 70's- no real claims to fame (as I've always had a 'day'job) but it was enough to make me follow the early days of digital, and today it's protrolls and tape- I like the automation capabilities of digital (beats 3 - 4 people manning faders on a 16 track) and for...

the Granelli modded SM57 is well worth the $ and really works well on snare disclaimer: I have no affiliation with Granelli

use a second mic on the bottom of the snare- and flip the phase from the top mic

yeah, no simple/inexpensive fixes- If it's just a rehearsal space... go rent a space.. it'll save you ton's of money If it's a long term endeavor- double walls and a lot of trial and error with the placement of traps, baffles and diffusers after the internal structure is up and it's not hard...

This may not be the right place... but after some pondering- it is analog related I have a 59 Hammond M3 with field coil speaker- I'm currently taking a paralle off the speaker voice coil and sending to line mixer which I can send to the control room and assign to a track for recording and/or...

I could just set a 3rd mic and start moving it around, but i was looking for thoughts opinion on as far away as possible? level with the guitar, at ear level, if using a 3rd, why not a 4thy (stereo)? my acoustics have pick-ups : a Taylor 614 ce, and a 30+ year old Guild D-25 with a LR Baggs...

any thoughts on using 3 mics on an acoustic? I usually use 2- an LDC ~12" off the sound hole pointing about the bridge, and a SDC ~12" off the neck/12th fret point towards the nut I'm wondering how much "bang" for the buck/effort" adding a room mic, say 8 - 12 ' back midway between...

I have 'mixed' feelings on micing bass cabs in small rooms, although I think it's a better avenue if you're trying to capture some mids/highs... but I'd think a good DI should get that I say this because I think to really capture bass through an amp you need a room with some depth (like about...

I've known a few folks who've gotten amazing mixes on cans, but for the majority of us, the opposite is true... though no guarantee our mixes are any better with monitors I think it gets overlooked quite often that our ears are not perfectly matched and our brain compensates, so it's easy to...

The house I owned prior to the one I live in now was built in the 40's and had a the old screw-in fuse panels. Most of the outlets were 2 prong, although there were a few 3 prong outlets here and there, other than the outlet for the washing machine and garbage (which had a wire coming out from...

I have the Presonus HP60 - 6 channel, 2 stereo in, with insert for each channel- however i found it a bit limiting and/or quite involved in order to get individual mixes. i just got a old Oz Audio Q-mix MH-6 which has stereo in, 4 inserts with individual channel control and an effect...

jh- I'm confused by your comments regarding my suggestion to put on the same leg? I have/had heard this helps reduce noise - not so? I have a 200A main, which feeds a 60 A sub-panel, of which 3 breakers (same leg) feed the studio, all control room gear have power conditioners (the outlets in...

50/50.... it was 'semi-explained' to me that the the summing occurring in digital would result in a higher output lever than the individual tracks (common knowledge), and as such the dynamics of some of the tracks would quieter parts can get lost whereas the multi-channel summing amp would not...

any thoughts on these- I'm looking at the 8/16 channel units , as opposed to a stereo summing amp used mainly (I think) for mastering)? I'm considering changing my mixing strategy to stems and using a summing amp to get a stereo mix to send out for mastering and as they're pricey, I want to...

5030's and the older models I'm not sure what I', thinking either beyond should i keep them or try and find em a home? one thing I don't need is gear I'm not using now (and probably wont)... they would make a good rack mount tube chassis??? hmm, I've a finger/box break at work, so a new rear...

I have a pair of Fostex line amps that I used briefly for remote recording, running the tage snake into the LA's ... but now I really don't have much use for them (that I can think of) I think I heard somewhere that the Fostex line amps would work as active DI boxes and would pass signal in...

I used cinder blocks, then built MDF columns, filled with sand with a wet-suit time material top and bottom, and now I them suspended from the ceiling using aircraft cable, a plywood saddle and a piece of 1" RFG underneath. freed up some desktop space for rack gear (mainly patchbays)... cost me...

sr71rules Thank you so much. I should have the synch unit next week!

excellent! thanks! and to be clear- the transport on the TSR8 will cause PT to do the same? Or do I need to arm PT if I'm recording to both digital and analog Which I may at times.

congrats! here's my 2 cents Floors: I put the click lock bamboo in my studio (and several other rooms). The first room to get was the spare bedroom/TV room- I did the floating floor- looked great at first and then the traffic areas started showing signs of lifting/un-clicking... to I emptied...
