Fair enough, we are using somewhat different definitions and that's AOK. But honestly, would a man taking a dump, regardless how perfect it was recorded, be in your playlist? Probably not, right? Anyway, I personally don't think the OP was actually saying recording equipment, rooms and...

Jeff, I think what some of the group is trying to get across to you is that the majority would tolerate awesome talent recorded in a mediocre way as compared to a techinically flawless recording in a perfect room of a mediocre singer, band, or what have you. I happen to be in that camp also...

It's harder than the other DIY products but not as hard as the commercially applied stuff. It's "softness" allows it to contort a little when banged and abraded and because of that it lasts a very long time. This is the same reason why you can bend a piece of mild steel into a shape of some...

Of all the DIY brands of truck bed liner there is one that stands out far above the rest - and that's Dura-bak (http://www.nonslipcoating.com/) Their DIY product is in my opinion tougher than the commercially sprayed products and only slightly more expensive than the other DIY brands. Aside...

I pasted the above with a larger font because I think all of us can benefit from seeing it again. In fact, I think we should chant it, in unison, every time we power up our gear. While Glen attracts enough flames to be collecting his fire insurance policy for the umpteeth time he does offer...

I agree with all of the above and my very first "studio monitors" were a pair of used Radio Shack "Mach-I" speakers, model 4024 "A". They had an adjustable crossover whereas I could tweak them to "somewhat" flat and compensate the rest with my brain. The only thing I didn't like about them was...

Remember that when you think you are buying software, you're technically not. You're only buying the right to USE the software. You never actually own the software in a legal sense. You're simply paying a one-time rental fee. If you've ever read the microscopic print in the license...

Very nice, I'm jealous. *I'll" come by with coffee, and bring you two lovely blondes as a distraction, and you and they can go outside while *I* break in your new gear. Since I'm brining more than coffee, Glen can wait his turn. ;-)

Yeah, all done, absolutely usable in every way, except I have a kid now and no free time. The last time I pulled out a guitar to re-acquire callouses I found the strings were incredibly rusty and sounded like dog schite. I compensated by turning the amp up louder, seemed to do the trick :D...

I can offer you an overview diagram if you wish.

I totally get you don't want to move the shed, fair enough. I was just looking for a low-buck idea that could help. That's actually a very good idea Miro... as concrete blocks filled with sand certainly constitutes "mass". Unfortunately, he'd have to do the same on other sides of the shed...

Hedges and trellises with pretty flowers will help a little, but I don't think enough to allow a truly quite space to record in. Turning it is a free solution, I'd give it a try. If that doesn't help, a shed that size is about $2500 worth of materials at Home Depot, so one could maybe sell it...

Before you bail completely, considering you've invested in this thing already, see if you and seven other really big guys can lift the shed and turn it say, 35 or 45 degrees. Most sheds usually have a flat side facing the street, and often times you can significantly reduce noise just by...

He might very well be on "Joe Einstien", though that hasn't been confirmed yet. The producers were very interested in the video above as well as the car project overall. They are considering coming out here to see the newer, badder, bigger car that's in progress. Since it's not driveable yet...

I commend anyone who can mix with a mouse. Me, I like mah knobs. So such thing as too many knobs. Knobs, are good karma. And faders, which are knobs but they go long wise :)

I'm already wondering where the time went - seems just yesterday he'd sleep cradled in my one arm and now he's a 50lb athelete with long hair chasing girls. Actually, they mostly chase him. Speaking of keys.... my son's been driving since age 3 (2008): Actually, the gang was following...

Actually, if you treat the back wall, ceiling slants can help (or significantly hurt) a control room's acoustics. I have my console table wedged under a slated ceiling and it sounds pretty good, even though it seemed counter-intuitive to do it this way.

I used to have one of these, which I bought new from Sam Ash in (cough) 1982 or 1983. It had plenty of power for practice as well as live gigs in small venues and also had enough knobs to twiddle to achieve different sounds. I rarely turned it above 5 - my ears would hurt - it's a loud amp. I...

A decent portable solution would be one of those two-drive raid enclosures. Basically, you install two identical drives of your choosing and it appears to your laptop/desktop as one drive, and the data is on both drives simultaniously. If one fails, your data is still on the other drive. If...

According to Sony, Acid Pro 7 can Generate and trigger from MIDI Time Code (MTC). The key is "trigger from". Midi Time code is basically a re-written version of SMPTE time code sent down midi wires using a protocol called Midi Sys/Ex. So in theory, if you set Acid correctly, and push "record"...
