unfortunately, stateside underground mains service is still quite rare and only found in recently (not more than maybe 15 years) built developments. As a matter of fact, I was walking after supper last night and was particularly attuned to just how many freaking trees in my neighborhood are...

I was advised somewhere, and I can't find where, about a type of power conditioner that not only provided power conditioning but switched outlets to power up things like AI, mic pre, rack gear and powered monitors in an order (guessing pretty much like I typed it) that is easier on the equipment...

heh heh heh. you and me both. I love the turn of that phrase. :thumbs up:

oh my gosh, I can tell you never purview reality television. You get writers to drum up drama, the sheetrock guy gets pissed off and smashes the windows the glazier puts in, the architect gets into a fight with the builder, the owner gets up in the grill of the variance board, a dead body gets...

pics ain't going to cut it, we want reality show footage. :eatpopcorn::guitar::thumbs up:

dayum, that's a lotta mass. Hope there's a lot of vertical space because you're losing about 4 and a half inches of it.

speaking of throwing away stuff, somewhere I have a Digi001 breakout box, and PCI card. IIRC it ran Pro Tools LE 6.0. It used to run in my G5 dual processor tower until the PS died. At the time, a PS was stupid money because the demand was high. Apparently this model had a known issue and I...

until I'm settled in a treated room, I'll be using open backed phones for playback/mixing. I'm currently running out from the mac mini headphone output and 90% of the time going to a stereo receiver to monitor/listen. The phones are plugged into the receiver's phone jack. I've got two volume...

I've been trying to do smiley face and frowny face EQs and not having a lot of luck. In my DAW, I have the option of single band EQ or channel EQ. There's no drawing of any particular EQ curves. Any suggestions? The DAW is Garageband and that's probably the problem right there, isn't it?

yeah, sticking it to the man !! Fight the power. Let your anger flow, embrace the dark side. Wait, what? :eek:

this makes me think. I tend to record everything in stereo, because ... why? I guess because I can, DAWs make it so easy. Going try doing some mono and see what that brings to the table.

sometimes I think it would be less expensive just to rent some time at a recording studio facility :laughings: Buuuut, that still doesn't stop me from wanting my own private studio.

you know, I believe you might be onto something there. Plus I'm so used to hearing only guitars and now I have the bass it's time to rethink my game plan. To the drawing room, Watson, we have much ground to cover, the game is afoot.

do you mean a Steinburg UR22? I couldn't find a u22. It has 48v phantom power, you don't even need to use the mic mechanic

the humane thing to do is not put my 'music' out there :o mass hysteria, cats and dogs living together, milk curdling, that sort of stuff

would the smiley curve for bass be pulling the mids down vs raising the lo and hi, right?

I've been advised by the powers that be there are international treaties against that sort of thing :eek:

had an interesting couple of takes the other day. new bass arrived, Squier VM Jazz bass. Immediately tried recording a couple tracks. Going DI with a compressor before the AI, I was getting some righteous bottom. Did a quick dub onto a cassette to listen in my car. Bass that sounds just...

in a small room, mid-side or x-y?

I was contemplating an external drive with two 500 GB SSD, I was thinking one for audio files, the other samples, plugins, virtual instruments. I'm also thinking of upgrading my 2012 Mini's internal HD to SSD for the OS and DAWs, probably 500 GB as well. Would it be worth having a second SSD...
