I agree, hard to swallow, but it can be done. Some people just can do it. They're artists :D

I assumed they were pro or close to it and using you-tube as a way of promoting themselves. It sounds as though they're using pro gear despite what we see in the videos :) Then again, way back when I had a pro studio 'for rent' once in a blue moon a band would come in with a demo tape made on...

Creativity is an understatement. I'm spooling all their videos to mp3's right now... previewed a few of them... wow.

You could make the same thing out of 1x3's or 2x4's and deck screws, and install casters on the bottom so they slide around easier.

So next Memorial Day we'll see various burly men in kilts wearing ipads instead of bagpipes. Yet another amazing advance in technology :D

I was thinking about this lying in bed, and since I had to get up to take tylenol anyway, I'll post. If you only have one midi in and one midi out, you can create a simple switch box using a rotary switch and some jacks, so you can select between input devices. Generally you're not going to be...

MIDI transmits at 32k baud. That's very slow in the grand scheme of things. If you add active devices like mergers and such, after a while you'll notice a minute delay between when you instruct a synth to do something and when it actually does it. Music is very timing sensitive so with a lot...

Discussions like these always separate people into two camps very quickly - recording hobbyists and recording engineers. By all means, push the normalize button and enjoy the outcome. But consider this - music is just physics and in turn, mathematics - the more you know about how it all works...

Oh, I know :) I was just trying to help others who might be a bit new and still learning. I remember when I started out back in the early 80's my head was spinning while learning all the differences.

Actually, the "you must be this tall to ride" analogy would translate more for limiting than normalizing as both are rejection based. The "this tall" analogy for normalization would be to instantly "grow" all the people in line the same percentage so that the tallest member just doesn't quite...

Bare Naked Ladies, recorded originally released in... crap... 1992 or 1993, I forget. Anyway, it was one of their first tunes actually.

If I had a 1,000,000 (If I had a 1,000,000) I'd but you a house ( I would buy you a house) If I had a 1,000,000 (If I had a 1,000,000) I'd buy you furniture for your house ( maybe a nice chesterfield or an ottoman) If I had a 1,000,000 (If I had a 1,000,000) I'd but you a K-car ( a nice...

Anytime you are overwhelmed it's time to break things down into smaller pieces. This applies to your situation as well as say, painting an entire house or any other project. Focus first on scene/chapter one. Import, tweak, adjust, monitor, then send out a final mix of that scene/chapter as a...

I feel you're pain, however rabid note-taking is often what we have to resort to even though we have access to cool technology. The key to having that data be useful is organization, much the way you organized your audio tracks. What I did for the training video I spoke of earlier is draw in...

You should always record something like this dry, controls neutral. If you must twiddle knobs (even virtual ones) some systems allow you to put your outboards on the monitor chain thus allowing you to record dry yet not listen to it dry. Typicially with speaking voices once you set things a...

Rick, I would need a bit more detail than 'the digital stuff is dead' because the whole thing is pretty much digital, and most of it is on one board if I remember correctly. I haven't had to open one in years, as all of mine work still. I've had issues with the power supplies overheating and...

I never did an audio book however I did all of the audio for a 45 minute training video, with three speakers interacting with each other so maybe this is relevent. The video was basically a slide show containing screen prints of the customer's proprietary software in use, the usual corporate...

I know you were making a joke, but joke or not you landed on the bullseye anyway :) Yes, the thicker the oil the "more power" is required to start movement as well as maintain it. That's why cars nowadays use 5W30 instead of 10W40 - thinner oil offers less resistance to moving parts so cars of...
