    Microphone upside down??

    The people I record often have charts on a stand. Upside down keeps the mic and cable out of the way from the mic stand.

    How Do You Tell A Drummer "You Suck"

    Are you using this drummer as a session cat for paying clients? If so replace him. Especially if the paying clients are what pays the bills! If this is hobby stuff then deal with it.

    Is it wrong to like The Edge?

    Interesting thread...I like Edge (as his friends call him ;) ...met him in 87 during JT tour). Great guitarist... okay sure, but maybe only in the confines of U2, which is just fine. Some of the things being said about him - same sound, same song, etc... could be said of Mr. Young of AC/DC...

    let me see your studio!

    Some Pics of partially setup studio I ran out of time to complete the studio build out. I have about 30 housewives that want to make Christmas CDs so I had to setup and start tracking. But here are some pics of the the place. The desk is one I built last month based around pk1's desk pics...

    delta differences.

    If you are talking about the 1010 with the breakout box - the diff is that the converters are on the breakoutbox.

    First song in new control/tracking area

    Greetings, I moved things to a bigger area - still not treated the way I would like them to be.. Not used to my monitoring environment yet. This is the 1st mix after tracking vocals. Any thoughts are welcome... too much bass, not enough, too much mid, etc... thanks...

    My home recording studio ideas. Here's the scoop.

    Why are you spending money on new stuff. Its clear that you are either a troll and should be ignored or you are someone who should be working with second hand stuff as cheaply as possible so that when you actually learn which end is up in a studio, you don't feel so bad about the money you spent...

    Are Subs a total necessity?

    BLueSky> If using a 2.1 system will you still get an acurate playback of the low end on a normal stereo system? Doesnt the sub sum all the frequencies below the cross over to mono? If you are mixing a traditional classical piece with the bass and cellos panned mostly to to the right... i guess...

    Using office cubicle panels for vocal recording

    I set some up in the area where I 'think' I might have this group of singers perform at. The pannels my company bought (and let me use) were bought because of their sound absorbtion. The 1st thing I noticed was an INCREASE in flutter echo(?), solved with a 703 pannel (4x8) mounted to the...

    Event TR-8's amd KRK Rokit 8's...

    I have the old KRK rokits (the angled side ones and passive with a hafler amp), I borrowed a pair of event TR 6 to compare to. When I get some money I will be getting the Events. In my room (the thing you really have to look at), and without any treatment, I found I had a better sweet spot...

    Carpet padded walls

    Yeah, I know using floor carpet is a firehazard. This stuff is sold in a wall paper retail outlet. and made specifically for wall treatment. I realize too that treating a tracking room or control room is not as easy as putting carpet on the walls. Proper traps, and diffusors are still needed. I...

    Carpet padded walls

    I have noticed in many basket ball gymnasiums that the lower half of the walls have a thick carpet on them - I presume to cut down on the slapback of a wooden floor being hit all the time. They also have what appear to be carpet covered panel traps on the upper walls. The gyms I have been in...

    How can I get the best sound out of my basement

    Having a basement that I am building out I can tell you that the thing that seems to be most difficult to get "just right" is the mid/high; too much mid/high treatment and its too dead and muffled sounding, not enough and i get strange pingy/phasy sounds in the mids and highs. Fortunatly I have...

    Using office cubicle panels for vocal recording

    I'm using them because I have not finished my control room/vocal booth build out. I have a quintet coming in to record and need to use the unfinished space. I will have some 4in. 703 in the corners and the taller cube walls to help cut down the reflections from naked drywall.

    Using office cubicle panels for vocal recording

    I'll let you know this weekend how they work. My company has about 30 in storage that they are letting me have. 6 feet tall by 4 feet wide. I'm getting 10 of them.

    gobo feet?

    Good question. I cant get my city to give me permits for building out my control room properly so I am stuck with make shift gobos and I have been puzzeling over the type of feet to use.
