If you were to mix every night with cans, then listen to your resulting mixes on the monitors during the day, eventually you could become quite proficient at mixing with cans to the point where you could imagine how it would sound on monitors reasonably well and not need to listen on said...

"Couple" would be two weeks, $20K total, so that's $10K a week. 50 weeks a year (two weeks vacation) and that's $500,000 per year. Top notch producers make far more than that. $20K is reasonable if the guy is a hit-maker.

I concur, excellent across the board.

Hey Rick, LTNS, glad to see you're still here also! Parenting is great, can't believe my boy is 5 already. Goes by so fast. Overall I'm good, just hoping to ride out this economy so I have time and funds available for fun things like hotrodding and studio play. I doodle every once in a while...

By laying down the drum track first, using the metronome as a timekeeper. Then for all other instruments including vocals, use the drum track as the time keper.

Simply put - don't record the metronome. Listen to the metronome while recording the first track, then use the playback of the first track as your guide to record the second track, and so on.

Thanks, I enjoyed it as well, though I was surprised at first... scratching my head after you left the first VM... Steve... Steve... hmmm... who is Steve? lol I see nothing wrong with it, as I've of the opinion that knowledge and technique is far more important than sound treatments and the...

heh-heh, it happens, no sweat. Some cables are easier to buy than make, and the TDIF is one of them. For really short distances (machine to machine) you can get away with a cheesy piece of ribbon cable that's clamped in 25p connectors, but the specification requires some shielding, some...

If you want a true TDIF cable you can buy a 15' Hosa for about $35 or less on the internet. Certainly not an expensive item, but a real pain in the ass to make.

Okay... just wanted to remind you that the possibility exists, even though to be frank, I'm in your camp on this.

Many people who use forums turn off their PM notifications so when they get a PM (or several) they're not aware of it right away, so over the years it's becoming common behavior for those sending a PM to also post that they did so the OP knows to check their inbox. I have mine off because my...

While I've found this thread most entertaining, I wanted to chime in here and suggest that it's possible he did just that - spend a ton of money on a "toy". There are enough people around who buy things because they're fascinated by it or simply want it and not because those toys are practical...

I had an ada8000 for a while and while I agree, the wordclock circuitry is an old design, it was far more stable than many of the other pieces of gear I had at the time. It surprised me actually... These days I use a Lucid word/super clock, whatever model number it is (I can't see it because...

Currently, I have four APC SmartUPS 1400 units, each on it's own 15A single pole breaker, those breakers in a subpanel. The subpanel is fed 240V @ 30A, and in the main panel there's a double pole 30A breaker. At some point I decided to install a 20A 3-way switch between one of the UPS units...

I'm curious, why did you guys package the zip file with two directories, with duplicates of the songs? I realize one is labeled "mac OS" but most computers and devices read and play mp3 just fine - might save you some bandwidth. On a couple of the songs, the bass drum is distorted, i.e...

Air wick commercial LMAO. Okay, coffee through the nose burns. Ow ow ow. Verse two is better...

Every point you made Cobb is irrelevent. People asked questions about soundproofing and sound treatments, and they were answered fairly well by myself and numerous others. It doesn't matter whether you're building a $2M audio facility or cramming your gear into a walk-in closet - while the...

I personally believe studio doors should be locked, and only the engineer and the producer can enter. Maybe the owner if that's a different individual than the other two. I remember one "session" where a local garage band wanted to rent the studio for a mere day, with a lofty goal of tracking...

It depends on the unit though, the come in all different efficiencies, filtering styles and options (some have none!), and so on. This old beast I was referring to is massive and heavy - 4U, 200lbs with four batteries installed, according to my bathroom scale (assume it's not terribly...
