Cool. The only problem is that I can see getting the PZM mics taped to the wall being a problem in some live settings - I really have to minimize the amount of cables, etc that I run. I really need small :) Thanks for the other stuff, though - that's a good starting point.

Hi, all I've been thinking of putting together a relatively cheap (under $500? please?) setup for recording live gigs... Basically, my fiancee plays a number of jams and sits in on other people's gigs quite often and I'd like to get a recording done of some of those. The problem is, of...

Hmmmm. Now I know what *I* want for Christmas...

Alright, I'll get my fiancee on the job. I'll probably end up sending you a wav of the horn line that you can mix to your liking. If I do multiple horns, I'll be overdubbing them, so I'll give you multiple wavs so you can mix 'em yourself, plus I'll probably do a mix just for the practice (I'm...

Sure, put an mp3 somewhere and we'll see what we can do.. if nothing else, be good practice for me recording wise. Cool :)

Teddie, Are you talking live horn sounds? My fiancee is a trumpet player, also plays some trombone and french horn (but we're still savin' to actually BUY a french horn - god, those things are pricy) If that's what you're hunting, we could probably record some parts for you if that's what...

Yeah, the psychological effect is pretty tremendous. When you go in there, you know you are there for music. Before, she and I shared space and her music stuff, my recording stuff, my computer stuff and my books were all crammed into one, smaller room. Now we've got two rooms, one for music...

They are the LENRD bass traps and, to be honest, at this point I don't KNOW how well they are working. The room sounds good, but I don't know if it would be otherwise, since most of the stuff I'm doing in there isn't very bass heavy. Some of the keys stuff has some cranking bass, but not much...

I'm sure Grey and John Sayers will hop in with a lot more info then I can provide, but if you've got to leave the walls as is, you're in the same situation as I was. I have had really good luck with Auralex foam. They sell "Roominator" kits of it, which include everything you need. Pricy...

I've had some nice sounds out of a SM58 for trumpet, as well. A hint of reverb but that's about it and it sounds really good, IMHO.

I've had good luck with the Auralex foam - including the bass traps and so forth. They sell whole room kits. Pricy as hell, but A> the room looks really cool when it is done and B> it sounds great too, especially considering it was a super live room before. I brought it down to sorta...

Ok, I'm looking for a program (pref. PC) that does the following : Provides an environment (staff based) to enter music. Understands dynamics, accents, staccato markings and all the standard MUSICAL markings. Can input notes from a MIDI controller. Can output a reasonable imitation of the...

Well, finally got off my ass and starting taking pictures. Gotta get it developed, then I'll get it scanned and put up. Started doing some real recording stuff, too, rather then just playing around. Damn, this is fun. Such a rush. I just wish I could actually make music (rather then...

Just make sure the cloth you use has a dense weave so that bits of fibreglass don't escape. That shit is nasty to breath. And do yourself a favour and wear a dustmask while you're playing with it, especially if you cut it. The tiny particles get caught in your lungs and annoy the hell out of...

I was evaluating Midisoft Studio 6 and it seems pretty cool. Went back to check out the website, domain not found. Called the "buy now" number - disconnected. Doesn't look good - anyone know the scoop? -cdr

Not to be a prick or anything, but this REALLY demonstrates why musicians need to invest in a half-decent backup system... there's nothing like the nice warm feeling you get when you KNOW your data is safe... drop a copy in a safety deposit box once every couple of weeks and even if the worst...

I'll have to toss up a picture or two of mine as well... Well, I'm still playing around with doing some recording in it - it is mostly my fiancee's practice studio, but we're playing around with recording her, etc for mp3.com and so forth, so I guess that counts... I have to say that Auralex...

Yes, exactly. They've got to work together, but my feelings are that RIAA is more interested in attempting to maintain the status quo (which simply does not work) then in actually figuring out how to make new technology work for them. This Napster thing forces it, but still begs the question...

Hmm. Interesting - I guess I do hate the major labels, but I certainly don't hate the musicians behind them. However, I do think that regardless of what people WANT, the fact is that information - including music - is now much easier and faster to move around the world. I think it is time to...

0+1 is great... that is what a lot of heavy disk usage applications use. It is a combo of speed and great reliability. For instance, the company I work for (I'm an Information Technology guy, not a professional musician) uses 0+1 on our database server. Basically, 0+1 means that you have two...
