    Do you think there is more for you to learn about songwriting ?

    Sorry, EploZiveToyz, you are completely wrong. Your understanding of how talent is developed is only overshadowed by your lack of teaching ability. Talent is developed through correct repetitive action. No one starts out being a great songwriter. Everyone you mentioned (Lennon, McCartney...

    Have drugs ever enhanced your creativity as a songwriter or player ?

    From personal experience years ago when I was in a band, my singer and I specifically tried to write songs while drunk. It didn't work. I lost all my technical ability and finesse. What made our instrumental part of the music interesting was the intricate lines going on in the guitar and I...

    1000 dollar mics vs 100 dollar mics

    OK... Sorry for posting without reading the middle 5 pages, but many of the responses were completely inaccurate on the first page so far. I think it's from lack of practical field use and ownership. This question keeps coming up and there is so much misinformation being passed around. I own...

    I wanna hear some live recordings

    For my standard setup, I use 12 channels of Millennia's, 2 John Hardy's, a RNP, all going through a RME UFX. My mics are typically Schoeps, but I use Neuman's TLM 103s, Octavias, a bunch of modded mics - espically ribbons with Lundahl transformers and tons of others. For some gigs I use house...

    2014 Daw Build.

    I hope this adds to the discussion since I've been contemplating building my own desktop for the last year. I currently use my Mac Book Pro with an i7 2 gig quad core. I upgraded to 16 gigs of ram and a 512 gig Samsung 840 Pro SSD. The SSD was the biggest improvement on performance (even...

    Insulation behind dry wall?

    I just refinished my basement. I would redo things differently had I known how much impact noise (walking, etc...) transmits through the floor. I tried a couple different ways to stop sound vibrations from traveling up and down. First, I noticed that with an open ceiling with exposed floor...

    Why are the 500 series modules costs so much?

    Back to the point of 500 series... they are primarily used in the USA, though I wouldn't doubt they will become more popular around the world soon. The problem with 500s vs rack is the power supply. Rack mounts have a dedicated power supply that is "tuned" to that specific piece of equipment...

    Home recording. 'future proof' software.

    Reaper for "future proof" When you purchase Reaper, you automatically get free upgrades through the next release. So if you purchase v.4, you get all upgrades through v.5. I've used Sonar for years and when I migrated over to Mac, I used Logic. I liked Sonar better than Logic for most...

    Live sound question-Micing a stand up bass

    sdc in bridge Yes, use the sdc in the bridge with foam padding. If they are using a cab, mic that too. That is exactly how I recorded the Atlantis Quartet's live album "Lines in the Sand." (google it and you can hear it - I did not mix it though, that was done by the guys at the Terrarium in...
