i agree with this. One interesting thing that's happening in and around my studio is that there is a growing group of artists and musicians that are sort of centered around my place. (on reflection this sounds like ego, but i assure it's really not. I wasn't even aware of it until someone...

i know this seems decidedly un-newb advice, but i wish that when i started out, somebody showed me how to solder a variety of audio cable configurations, so i could have saved thousands over the years. My advice is learn how 1/4 jacks are wired, how XLR jacks are wired, balanced vs unbalanced...

that is something i couldn't agree with more.

i agree. my feeling is a minimum 3 piece ensemble should be able to perform a song in a steady tempo. If a solo guy or a duo need a click to hold it together thats fine. last time i checked, dynamics were integral to a performance.

you're in luck, he's doing Q&A @ gearslutz this month

hell i used to mix on headphones....not great, but you make due with what you have

thas ok, i thought he had $1000, so he's actually got $500 for a pair. :)

wierd! I just so happen to be selling a Mackie 1604 vlzpro 16 channel split mixer...........HOW STRANGE

i started on a tascam 424 cassette recorder. I learned how to make decent records with a couple sm57's and the 424 mixing down to a tape deck. If i had $1500 i would buy an adat, a mackie 16 channel split mixer, and with the $400 left over, 2 sm57's and a Rode nt1. then, get a friends band...

my HVAC supplier's rep sells it to me for .46 a sqft i know it's an old thread but... by the by, it's Winnelson, a US HVAC supplier

i mixed to tape, so i think overall, it was a bit saturated. i'm going to bypass the tape and mix down to cd the next mix session i do with this one.

we don't use daw's to record, it's all outboard recorders and tape. however, if i bring the mix into the box to pre-master it, i'll check out the noise. But i do think that noise is an artifact of the gain increase in the stereo recorder, i'll check it out

yes the snake is balanced. thanks

i only have UTP well. i'll try it, if it doesn't work i'll pull the cable back out and use it elsewhere. thanks for the help :)

thanks man. yeah it is left heavy. it was sort of a tracking mix, with another 1/2 hour of tinkering before the next session started so it was rushed a little.

it could be compression. i'm going to have to keep an eye on that. or get better compressors :)

actually, i'm not sure that's the reason. and because of that i'm going to have to review it, because i don't like to hear that there is distortion i'm not fully aware of :)

i had to up the gain once it was mixed down to the masterlink. it's the first time i used the gain render function and i think it distorted out a little. I won't be using it again in that severity

dunno. something whacky happened in tracking it. that's the one that would get redone. the other we'll reamp and try to settle in the mix a bit

thanks Travis! I agree on the solo guitar and it's getting re-tracked. We lost our fender twin to a friends tour, and were using an AC30 which doesn't do jazzy soft solo guitar justice AT ALL. And he could have played it better. Thanks for your comments.
