I believe the position you are referring to is what's called a "copywriter". I would imagine you would need marketing and advertising experience, as well as a lot of wit and creativity to be successful at it. I listen to the radio a LOT, and the more I listen, the more I notice how BAD some of...

Here's a recommendation if you want to still be cheap: Find two used Radio Shack 33-3017 condenser mics. Granted, they are cheap and they are a *little* cheesy, but they will sound 100 times better than a cheap cheesy mic that was designed for people who like to voice-chat on their computer...

You're my kind of engineer, Harvey! Used stuff is the best, ain't it? I've seen SM57s for $50 at www.recycler.com under "music". I should get me a couple. Isaiah

Get ahead software's Nero burning rom. It's for use with your CD burner and it can fade in and out automatically between songs...seems like an easy route. Isaiah

All kinds of stuff... I really like acoustic instruments, but I'd also like to record some rock. I'm not into thrash metal or anything. I just want a little more than the 8 tracks that I have on my Tascam 688...and I want the quality of digital...cassettes just aren't as dependable as I'd like...

I was sort of leaning towards the XT... but it's nowhere as cheap as the used blackface models I've seen. Do you think it would be worth it to drop the extra $$$ and get the good stuff and forget the old blackface models? Thanks, Isaiah

I am hoping some day to have at least two ADATs (linked for 16 tracks) and I am debating in my mind which is best. The blackface model is dated, I realize, but they are also remarkably affordable (eBay!), and have simple construction as far as I've been told... On the other hand, we have the XT...

I was gonna say... dude, drop some of the extras and get more mics! I mean, just ONE SM57? I'd get 2-4 of them if I were you. Isaiah

ROFLMAO.... Isaiah

When I say double tracking, I mean you record the same part twice and pan the first one in one direction and pan the 2nd recording in the other direction... it creates a really nifty stereo effect. It sounds neat on vocals, too. Mic placement can stay the same, but it wouldn't hurt to...

I believe someone else on the boards here just ditched their AT4033 for the New Rode NTK - That's how good it was... But I don't know well enough to give any real advice. I'm too naive. Isaiah

Hey thanks for the tips... The thing is, I have never miked a drum kit before. Most of my recording projects so far have been extremely simple. (I wish I could go back and re-do some of them, considering how much I have learned since then...) Heck, I haven't even recorded a guitar or an...

I would prefer a couple of linked ADAT blackface models, or XT's and a good mixer than some PC-controlled system any day...blecchh. Isaiah

Thanks for the reply... One more question: What would be a good mic for the kick? I've heard a lot on how to mic the kick, but not exactly a preferable mic. I suppose you could use just about anything you wanted, as long as you liked the sound, eh? Isaiah

Just one question, Shailat... What kind of room did you record the samples in and what mics did you use? They sound pretty darn nice. Isaiah

What the hell is wrong with your uncle? Spends 30 grand for a studio and doesn't know anything about it? People who do things like that scare the living daylights out of me. Isaiah

Unlikely, dude... almost any mic can handle a guitar cabinet, so I wouldn't worry about a thing. Isaiah

I tend to think that you need to try a different mic technique...possibly even a different mic. I *really* find it hard to get any satisfactory sound from a guitar without either double-tracking it or maybe using 2 mics for stereo. Another thing might be the room you're recording in... try...

Ouch! I hate it when that happens... I once bought a scanner from a guy on eBay and he sent me a different model than he advertised. I bought the one I wanted, though.. for 10 bucks less than the one I didn't want! Isaiah

Chill! I think there's a big difference between having a friend over to see it, and showing it to the general public...but it would be interesting to see what the MPAA or the patent & copyright office would have to say. As for Britney Spears, you're completely off the bat... The Backstreet...
