    instead of studying i did this

    I invited some friends over. one to man the controls, and another to play some lead parts if he wanted. the guy at the controls was supposed to lay some bass down, but left to dallas before he could. so i thought it worked without bass. this is what exam time at university inspires...

    newbie post, new room to work with.

    This stuff about room modes and parallel walls being the devil are beginning to bug me. If there was a way I could plot this out on a graph I would. But talking about budget level and quality of level you are trying to record versus the extra costs of not building a square room sometimes don't...

    Solved grohl or disturbs drummer

    You would probably think different after you heard the same tracks before the drums were all triggered to death. I don't think it would sound bad, but the difference between a drum mix when hit replacement hardware/software is used is pretty big. The sound of the queens of the stone age is...

    overhead mic positioning

    There are basically limitless opportunities for overhead positioning. You can put them perpendicular to each other with respect to the diaphragms and then more this pair around the kit until you find a sweet spot. Some problems with this is if you place them above the snare in a snare centered...

    Fostex G24 and G16 rec/repro cards

    Are these cards interchangeable? Since the G24 is also a 2 head machine I would think Fostex wanted to save production costs and use the same cards in both machines. Any input from you guys?

    Fostex E16

    I had an E16, and im really sad i sold it a little more than a year ago. I didn't use it much. I record remotely so ADATs where standard. I couldn't trust myself lugging around the Fostex, and I don't have enough money to keep it sitting there while not being used. It kills me to not have...

    bad astronaut - a mastering disaster...

    I could dig up the actual mastering house from the CD sleeve but I think that would be a futile gesture. You can see a lot of CDs today with squared out peaks, usually not as much as this one specific screen shot. Its just scary :eek: to look at. Have any of you listened to the mp3. To a...

    bad astronaut - a mastering disaster...

    This new cd "Houston: We have a drinking problem" is really good, except for some of the loud parts are sooo heavily compressed at the mastering stage that I can hear distortion. It is a horrible way to ruin such a good cd. Take a peak at the general waveform. Now I will zoom in and just...

    Fostex 280manual

    because the cost of writing the manual is a sunk cost. The money they charge for a manual should be postage and paper since the products they sell are electronics. They are not a publishing company. So if you download a manual, they do not pay for paper or postage. Therefore it should cost...

    Delta 1010 performance w/ ADAT connect Soundcard

    The ADAT interface for the Delta 1010 uses all the bandwidth that the Delta 1010 has. So its a one or the other deal. 8 channels of analog or 8 of ADAT. You can also check out the RME Multiface, it would work and reputably has the best driver support for PCs. But that is also probably...

    "Pro" mic-pre's vs. Mindprint DTC?

    I remember way back that sonusman said the ART Pro MPA was a good preamp, but that was after he was already using the ART dual MP. And I think the preamp he mostly talks about is the ART dual MP. pretty impressive for the little bugger. Shame they are selling that TPS system instead of the...

    Hey! a DIY build-yer-own studio!!

    those are grosely over priced sheds. you can put together a shed for much less money for that using non-precut material and a normal builder and/or yourself.

    The quest for the silent computer.

    Yea, I went looking up the info. The AGP slot on the motherboard is 2x/4x. They changed AGP8x slots now as well, but I'm not getting a new computer so I don't care about that. I've been looking into the Matrox G400. It has a similar graphics engine, but I really just want my 2D refresh rates...

    The quest for the silent computer.

    I took off my case and unplugged the case's front fan thinking thats where most of the noise was coming from since it was the cheapest fan. BUt i was wrong i turned the computer and I instantly knew where that annoying whirrrrrrrrr was coming from. MY GRAPHICS CARD! I can't believe it. The...

They split it with a tall stone wall placing various microphones within the camber in different places...

    "Pro" mic-pre's vs. Mindprint DTC?

    The preamp, while certainly having different sounds and colours, does NOT make the "warm, thick, xxxxxxx" sound you are looking for. If you place a mic infront of a kick drum and run the cable back to a micpre, monitor it,and don;t like the sound. Just changing to a better pre amp isn't going...

    Midimonkey

    I haven't read your criteria for your warehouse/poles/studio area. However, no offense to you, your utilisation of space was killing me. You had a lot of pokey rooms. Lets get some SPACE! Cover up the ple in the big live room with something that makes it look cool, like bricks, or wood, its...
