True that...but, as someone who suffers SERIOUSLY from Wanderlust: it's about the journey, not the destination. ;-) You guys all rule. Stay safe out there, kids!

Dudebro, isn't there just like, a filter like on Instagram I can use and get the sound I want??? Not saying that's what the OP is asking for, but it's just the general attitude of our modern population around the globe: instant gratification. It's Veruca Salt all over again. The character, not...

Yeah, take it from a former touring musician who just had a hernia fixed last month after ten years of it slowly protruding from my guts like an alien baby: don't use the second floor for much of anything. Maybe a good vocal recording room or something. The last thing you want to be doing is...

Daniel Lanois is one of my all-time favorite producers, but in an odd way: I actually don't really like a lot of the bands he's worked with, especially after the '80's. He makes interesting choices in terms of artists he produces (in a three-year period, he did two albums for U2, two albums for...

Ah crap, that's right, I'm sorry: I keep forgetting yer going the Daniel Lanois route and rawkin' the one-space design; cool on you, man. Love that idea. There are a few reasons for the suspended control room and floating floors (only the control room was suspended; the other rooms are just...

Ha, funny you mention "umbilical cables," as that's exactly how the control room in the studio I was talking about yesterday works: All the cabling in the control room runs under the subfloor (they actually suspended the entire control room from the freakin' roof beams; none of the walls...

Is there a particular reason you want a laptop? If you must have a laptop, I highly recommend buying refurbished from Amazon or a manufacturer. Laptops are pretty much obsolete within a few months of purchase. If you don't absolutely need a laptop, I highly recommend buying a tower/desktop for...

Awesome stuff here, man. Love the details. In reference to the previous page's about posts power/audio/wiring layouts...I'm with you in terms of the 90 degree electrical runs. As far as I know, that helps create buzz because voltages running perpendicular create RF interference, no? So I am...

Well...you could have been much clearer, but I shan't argue semantics. ;-) Your point about hi-pass filters on close-mic'ed "chug guitars" is fairly erroneous: one uses a hi-pass filter on such tracks to make room for the bass guitar and kick drum, regardless of the volume of the low...

Just as long as the Hearos models use quality filters, I'm sure they'll be fine. Good luck.

Now...it's been awhile since I got new products from Westone that were not just replacement filters...I'm in my early 40's so my ear shape isn't changing as fast as it used to, which would then require me to get new molds and new earplugs...so don't quote me here, but if I remember correctly...

Try Westone, mate. Just Google it, they come right up. They partner with audiologists all over the country to provide the molds and all that jazz. Trust me, it's worth every penny.

Sorry, I should have been clearer: the low frequencies will be present with close-mic'ing; to achieve the full rumble effect one feels in a room with a bass amp, distance mics are necessary, as in those low frequencies will be far weaker with close mic'ing, although not entirely gone by any...

Actually, plugging yer ears with those foam earplugs is a lot like plugging yer ear with a fingertip: it will make it easier to hear yer vocals when you are singing. I'd be more concerned about hearing your bandmates' playing with the construction earplugs than I would about hearing yer own singing.

Low-end is the hardest part of recording and mixing to get right, in my humble opinion, so why not use so many of the useful ITB and OTB tools to be able to recreate/emulate low end and really dial in the sound you want? Just to reiterate, the only reason to mic up a bass amp/cab is for the...

Well, based on your original post, it doesn't seem like you are using the bass amp to get any real tone out of the bass, and as others have pointed out, isolating a bass cab pretty much makes the cabinet pointless due to how low frequencies work. So methinks yer overthinking it here, compadre...

I will agree with; emphasize; and expand upon what a few others here have said: 1. If you are playing in a live band that rehearses in nearly any room with amps and a drummer (i.e., not headphone/IEM rehearsals), you need hearing protection, no question about it; 2. Forget the meters; it's a...

Whaddaya mean, "never" measure the current across the load?? I love doing that. I particularly enjoy using my index fingers as leads. Haha. I gotcha now, I didn't realize you were referring to amplified circuits...shoulda figgered that out from the keyword "watts." Not as in Mike or Reggie...

Huh, I thought you were referring to RMS loudness measurements...what does that mean then? 'Splain me please.

Ha, I dig yer style; I like yer moves. Haha. I am usually VERY particular about words in general, but especially technical terms...it seems that "resolution" has become the umbrella term for "digital recording quality." I see and hear it used by EVERYONE, literally everyone: I've articles from...
