LOL! Oh yes...I do the measure twice, cut once thing very well these days...thanks to many mistakes in the past! :D When I was buying the wood...after counting out the required number and putting it on the cart...for each of the tree sizes I needed, I added one extra board. Insurance... :) My...

Love that image...you do see the forum name I have under my own name, by the avatar. :) Well I can't get started tonight...or even tomorrow, since we are expecting thunderstorms, the leftovers from the hurricane that's coming up from Louisiana. So I'll drag the table saw out of the shed on...

I've not done extensive, scientific, double-blind testing...but it's something I did notice between the DAW and the console stereo images...it did seam to open up more when in the analog domain. When I firs noticed, I thought I was just imagining, and I really wasn't trying to prove...

Got wood! :) 4 hours at Home Depot...:facepalm:...sifting through 300 pieces of wood so I could find 87 pieces that weren't warped or chewed up any. It's just common pine plank, so there are some knots, but I like them...when you stain the wood, they give it some extra character, and these...

FINALLY...my acoustic panel materials orders are in!!! :cool: (9) cases (54 sheets) of 2" fiberglass 703 (1) case (12 sheets) of 1" fiberglass 703 (1) case (6 sheets) of 2" fiberglass 705 (double density) (5) of the 705 panels will go on the back wall and up at the apex of the back wall and...

+3 That's all I've been saying. It seems each question or comment ends up going down another rabbit hole...and there are many of them, and then that stuff gets discussed to a "clear point of confusion" (I guess that's an oxymoron, but it makes sense here)... ...but then what's it all really...

OK...but what are you looking to compare...difference in the sonic flavor...fidelity...? I think it would be more interesting to simultaneously track to tape and digital...rather than bouncing one to the other. IOW...if you track to tape and bounce to digital...you are importing the tape flavor...

Mmm...the high-end converters are talking about greater dynamic range...but they still don't color the sound...and if you're talking about higher sampling rates, they simply capture ultra-high frequencies, but again, it's not coloring what they do capture in any particular way. It's like the...

OK...what other issues besides acoustic...? Honestly...you're posts are often vague, even cryptic...you ask a lot of questions and make lot of comments about technical measurements...but it's never been clear what your final goal is. All I know is you have some drums that you want to use and...

Who said anything about using the same spice...there's the tape, and all kinds of analog hardware, each adding it's individual spice. You know...you can also add more analog spice during mixdown and mastering...so it's not infused with one spice and that's it. ;) When you cook...you don't...

I know you want more than just someone's preference to be convinced that A is better than B...but if 100 people prefer A and one person prefers B... ...does it really matter if analytically/scientifically it can't be proven than A is better than B...? Look at Pro Tools...which is a DAW...and...

Really? You're going to say that Styrofoam wasn't a big part of your discussions 5 months ago...? OK..... Look...let's not even go back, let's just move on...so how about you simply state very plainly what you are trying to accomplish within these threads. Are you looking for an actual...

It's not just the embedded smart phone...it's pretty much ANY technology that has the "smart" label attached to it. Last year my power company was upgrading the electric meters to the latest "smart" meters....and at this point I would say the majority of the USA (and many other parts of the...

Honestly...IMO, the only misunderstanding thus far is in trying to understand what exactly you are after. At times, it seemed like you were trying to make specific decisions about how to treat some space(s)...but then it turned into more of a circular debate about unusual treatments and what...

Well...it's not just about being more "inventive" due to limitations...it's also about knowing that you don't have 100-track capability, or endless options to fix things later on, so you have to bring your A-game from the first take. AFA "specific equipment"...well, that IS the medium, the...

Not sure why everyone is going all the way back to 1970...I mean cellphones only blew up in usage in the last 15-20 years. I still have my house landline...and I have a cell phone. I use my landline like 85% of the time because 1.) it's clearer sounding, 2.) the phone doesn't start to burn up...

Oh god...I recall spending many days reading through a lot of Rane's tech notes about cable wiring, proper grounding...etc...etc...back in the late '80s/early '90s...and sometimes feeling like there was no obvious answer. It can be quite overwhelming, and you're left with a LOT of options that...

I can probably toss my cell phone today, and not care...I rarely turn it on, and that's only when I'm driving, and if I remember to. At home, I have a landline, and everyone knows to call me on that if they don't want to wait a week for me to respond to their cell phone voicemail. Got no WiFi...

Well...I wouldn't go that far...and of course, you can always opt for complete off-grid living, but hone up on your basic survival skills and forget about convenience of any kind. :D Not to go off on some broader digital technology discussion here...but it's simultaneously interesting/funny/sad...

I get most of my music listening from the old-fashioned radio these days...mostly because when I'm working inside/outside , it's just the most convenient. I have a small boom box radio that's gotta be 30+ years old...it has paint on it, the antenna has been broken and fixed, twice, it's been...
