Lesson: anybody can be musically successful Hi VOXVENDOR, VH1 is very revealing about people's lives. When you watch them get interviewed, you get a sense of their true character. - I always wondered why Shania stands like a football quaterback when she sings - ha ha! Interesting to...

Hi Nave, Thanks for your advise. I'll take that into consideration. Chuck:)

LOL LOL...this is too much fun....

Look at it this way The best promoter you will ever find is your song. Yes, write a decent song and it promotes itself....

Don't be stupid - watch it and learn In one hour you can learn: - How unknown artist made it to the top ? - How national artists dress for performance. - Learn who the few were that influenced many - See the best lighting techniques going - What is dynamic range in a performance -...

As a recording person, I often like to watch the VH1 TV program - "Behind The Music". It is a great way to learn how accomplished national artists got started, used techniques locally, how they slaved at it for years, came from humble roots, got recognized, got shafted by their record company...

Mackie 1202 VLZ without a doubt for your application. Great for recording and live sound. ;)

Hi Longwave, Thank you for the MPX 100 settings. I will give it a try. Chuck

Hi sjoko2, Nice to hear from ya. I appreciate your comment. Chuck:)

reply to Langleyt Hi Langleyt, Yesssss, I've noticed how people are sometimes very hard in their comments. I've found the best response is kindness, in spite of what they may say; it comes from the bible: "a kind word turns away wrath". When we are kind, it is interesting to watch their...

Hi DeanTall Hat, How are you using your equipment? How are you micing ? I would suspect it is in this area first. If your micing a guitar, you certianly don't want to mic the hole directly in front - that is definately boom to the max. Get off axis with the mics. Record to your source flat...

The producer of Titanic says.... The producer of the movie Titanic (newest one) was asked what made the success of his movie. He said it was "dynamic range". Then he specified how the filming went from super action to almost silence throughout the whole movie. Your emotions were jerked back...

I'm with the CD burners too. I used cassette for years when I started, and it just drove me nuts. The cassette equipment just would not work with me. When I went to a CD burner, I was amazed at the quality of difference. Try to fork up the bucks, you won't be sorry. Chuck :)

Hi Prism, Let us know how your vee experiment turns out. You may get some results we could all benefit from hearing. Thanks Chuck:)

Harvey shared a great suggestion to me. Mic with the artist sitting between two shipping blankets, ya know those blankets that movers use. Hang them across two booms or something to sheild the artist from the room. Set them in a vee pattern with the artist facing the vee point. Set two mics...

Hi Dolemite, I have a MPX 100 already and havn't had much success so far. Could you reccomend some settings for me? Thanks Chuck:)

Hi RueBarb, Now that is really cool. I didn't know there was such an effect called "miked room". I knew you guys on this site had some tricks in the bag somewhere. Hey thanks man... Chuck:)

Where do you find A&R people that give you honest service ??? "TAXI" is a very respected A&R group. Many independents have made it with them. They also evaluate your music for a small fee. Expect to get your feelings hurt a few times. If you want to sell your soul to the music industry, do it...

Hi Royston, I'll tell you what.....If you have some great songs, money is no object. You just need to get them to the ears of the right people, even if you record them on a Sony Walkman cassette. A good song dosn't need a quality recording to convince the A&R people. they can spot a gem...
