    Will a gun blast rupture a mic

    I want to record some target practice with a camcorder; its got a tiny stereo mic. I am worried that the gun blast will destroy the mic. The camera will be directly behind the shooter looking over the shoulder on a tripod. The gun puts out about 150 decibels. Any ideas Thanks

    Going back to pro studio

    Don’t get me wrong; I love the concept of home recording. It's just that there is no way in bloody hell I can get the sound quality I want in my living room. The neighborhood is just too noisy and the house acoustics are crap. In order to record I have to turn off the fridge and the air...

    Highly recommend something

    I highly recommend Taylor guitars, elixer strings, and the RNP. These are tried and true, quality products that are hard to complain about. Go ahead, your turn

    What does your girlfriend/wife/gay lover think about your recording hobby

    My women really likes it but hates that it is in the living room. I am habitually telling her to not step on the cords and she is habitually stepping on them. I didnt tell her how much teh stuff cost though;)

    Any use for old speakers.

    Everytime I go to Goodwill I see dozens of house speakers for sale for 5 or 10 bucks. If no one buys them they get thrown into the garbage. I am wondering if there is any use for dozens of old speakers.

    FYE music stores

    Did you know that Fye music stores will carry your cd for 100 dollars. Of course they have it rigged so that they get your 100 dollars and a percentage of whatever is sold. I think it might be worth it just for the sake of seeing my CD in the store. All the independent music stores have gone...

    I've come across a few websites that offered gear modification service. I also found a few people that clamed to be able to turn cheap art preamps and compressors into amazing pieces of equipment. What really got my attention was the idea that the NTK could be modified and upgraded with a...

    Computer recording must suck

    Every time I view new post practically the whole first page is problems with computer recording. "Help me with cakewalk, sonar, plug-ins, no sound, will not record, will not play" What’s the deal? Seems like its a lot of trouble. I’m not overly thrilled with my Adat but its problem free and...

    That’s it, I’m at the end of my rope. Cars, airplanes, dogs and an ungodly over emphasis of bass frequencies: No more apartment recording shit. I’m buying a house and I’m going to build a real studio. Nobodies gonna stop me. Stand Back!!! I cant tolerate it. I’ve been trying for 5 months to...

    I fried the RNP

    I dont know what happened. I was unplugging and moving some gear around and when I hooked everything back up the RNP was dead. I think I smell a faint burn smell coming out of the outputs. When I hook up the RNC's power supply to the RNP the leds blink repeately. Other 12 volt power supplies...

    Starting all over

    I have spent many, many weeks tracking a bunch of songs. I have encountered a shit load of problems along the way. I was glad to be almost done with the album; then it hit me. I thought damn, I can do better than this. I found a bunch of tracking and performance issues that I just couldn’t...

    Country Dirt Kid

    Here is a rough mix. The song is entitled Country Dirt Kid. If you could kindly listen and put up some ideas I would be thankful. Hopefully my studio will burn to the ground before I can make a final copy. As always thanks for you replies! www.nowhereradio.com/timjohnston/singles
