Hi Billy Catfish, You make a good point. There is no rule book when it comes to recording I suppose. My choice of words should have been "the odds of having industry success". - The producer does however make a great difference in ones project. I know many don't like to hear this because it...

Hi Csus7, Doesn't it just eat your lunch when you hear one of those great projects ? The room sound even makes a bad song come to life a little bit. Thanks for the music leads too. Chuck

Right on Gidge, Titles can't be copyrighted. If you do use a real popular title, like "Jailhouse rock" I've heard you can legally be stopped if necessary. Chuck

A solo artist who has it all together is very entertaining to listen to in concert. Have you ever heard of Phil Keaggy ? I could listen for many hours. I think that is key in being a success at soloing. You must simply be good at what you do and have a great stage presence. - I am a soloist in...

Hi JoanisT23, I will check it out - thanks. Chuck

Hey Gidge, Very cool.... I knew there were some who had some tricks tucked away. We must have a great room and good micing through a decent pre-amp (elementry). Have you heard of a guy named BeBo Norman ? His new release called "10.000 days" has the stuff too. The first song "Walk Down...

Hi Cyanjaguar, Yes, you'll probably laugh, but David Marshall's "family and friends" project. He has the stuff going on big time. Ricky Scagg's projects have it too. The sound is unique and very addicting to ones ears. - The room and good micing has a big part as Mr Bear is saying, but I...

A tight room sounds pro... What makes a great final product ? I enjoy the projects that have a nice tight room sound around the musicians, not a cheesy bat cave reverb- ha ha. enjoy

Thought a poll would be cool on recording acoustic guitars.

More than Stereo Mics I suppose the stereo mic set-up is the common response to a nice room sound, but it seems there is more to it than that basic concept. The wonderful room sound seems to have some specific processor settings, outside of stereo micing. I hear it on many new recorded...

Hi Czsus, OK, Thanks...I will go and read it. Chuck

Come out of the direct out of the channel, or use the first indent of your insert to tap the vocal signal. Then, plug it directly into another channel. Now you have two channels of vocals. Then, you can boost the bass on one and the highs on the other. Bottom line is now you have two channels...

Desssser unit recomendations What desser units are recommended for really great results? Thanks

Many modern recordings have that wonderful "ROOM" sound. What are some ways one might get that sound in their mix ? Thank you:)

Hi Jag, Sorry I can't help you there. I never been into that problem before. How about calling TASCAM or FOSTEX. Just a thought. Chuck

Hi Jag, 15 IPS is wonderful. My 8 track was only 7.5. Your pre-production is a great idea too; saving those heads. - Yes, and do try the direct hook up through your ART pre and I think you will like the result. Any connection you can avoid will help the signal. I use my board to listen...

Hi Charger, Interesting thought you raised. I have yet to hear a Rode, but am anxious to do so. I certainly like the price of the Rode. - As far as the M147 vrs the 149, Neumann says they both come from the same make-up as the 87. I would imagine the differences are hard to hear. This I do...

Hi Charger, Sometimes I list results of new gear. I have often bought gear as a result of reading what others have logged. I think questions and documentation can be helpful for the web site. Take care Chuck

Hi JC, Best wishes. Thank you for the encouraging comments on the Lowdens. I really love the instrument. The live sound is nice and fat too. Chuck

Hi Peter, Yes, he found his sound in the Olson arena. I'm sure Mr Olson appreciates the exposure; his price sure does reflect it - ha. - I have played a Lowden now for three years. It is a real sweet instrument too. I play it through Bose 802s, with a 5 db cut to the 1k. Chuck
