    Ive only been at this for about 6 months, but i have found that all the books ive read did almost nothing compared to just twisting knobs!!! Once i had a fundemental understanding of what compression does (which i kinda had before i ever used one) i just aplied it in every extreme left to right...

I tried a high cut filter and it did...

    AlphaTrack and Faderport

    Both of these things seem really cool, i just wonder how intuitive they really are, I use logic which operates on the surface much like pro tools, so im wondering about its "ease of use" with plugins, and i use two monitors (screens not speakers) so im sondering about jumping from open screen to...

    how obvious do you like your FX

    Do you like when a guitar effect is really transparent, like you can even name the brand of the pedal being used, or do you like it when things are really twisted and it takes on a more synthy sound, and it could really be anything makeing that noise. I prefer the latter, but just wondering...

    interns? am i being abused?

    Yeah, when you go through the list of gear, look at the photos, and know (like i do) that the head engineer has been doing this for 20 plus years and has owned that particular studio for 15 its kinda disapointing. Others please check out the page, im trying to convince myself that jsut learning...

    interns? am i being abused?

    Pretty much everyone said in one way or another what i was thinking, that if he (the owner and head engineer) is a good dude, then he will take my efforts and remember them when its time to bump up the next intern to a paid posistion. and so far , he seems to be exactly that kind of person...
