    help me spend my tax refund!

    Thanks Mikeeb, I'm curious about your experience with Neve, why have you had bad luck? Was it with the portico series or their older stuff? Also- what's your experience with the Peluso r14? Would you consider it a good all around vocal mic? How would you describe its sound? Thanks!

    help me spend my tax refund!

    With my refund and selling some old equipment I don't use anymore, I should have about 2 grand to spend on my studio. I'm leaning towards a really nice vocal mic or a 4 channel mic-pre but I'm open to any and all suggestions. I am considering possibly a Pearlman TM-1 $1600 or a Daking Mic Pre...

    almost done

    Thanks for taking the time to listen. Not exactly my thing musically either- I'm just the engineer here. Anyone else have any thoughts or advice about these mixes? Just looking for some outside ears.

    Hello- this will be the first full-length album I've produced. We've been working on it for over a year now and its almost done! I could use some outside opinions on these mixes. Feel free to comment on any or all of the tunes. Thanks! http://www.youshare.com/rman5000/a37714/DisplaySimple

    unfinished song

    Thanks for the input... I guess I feel its unfinished because it seems like the beginning and end of a story with no middle. Gecko zzed, thanks for all your suggestions. I will experiment with dynamics and feel. You're right about trimming the fat. The part in the middle is kind of a...

    unfinished song

    I'm having a hard time finishing this. Its gone through many permutations- change of key, change of meter, re-writes, but I just can't seem to figure out where its going. Here's a rough sketch... http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/31970-pieceofearth.mp3 any ideas? Its called piece of earth...

    Do you believe in writer's block?

    I think this is really insiteful. I do believe in writer's block because I've suffered from it pretty consistantly for years now... but I do think its psychological. Some part of myself is getting in the way and not letting it come out. Its all rooted in fear. Recently, I've decided to set a...

    stuck.

    Resurecting this thread.... I made some progress on this song, although its been a slow process I think its getting somewhere. Brick by brick he built these walls With these hands he laid each stone Raised a shelter from the earth in the only country he has known (Chorus) All that he had Was...

    Various Audition Problems

    We are a public radio station and we have quite a few music acts coming through our studio (we have a full recording studio). We wanted the ability to use protools mainly because its a good skill to pass on to our interns and volunteers. Its KUNM in Albuquerque NM btw... kunm.org

    Various Audition Problems

    We purchased 2.0 because of its compatability with digidesign hardware- otherwise 1.5 works fine. I left out an important part- this happened (Audition crashing) after I attempted to instal pro-tools along with the drivers on the disk. When I realized there was a problem, I uninstaled...

    Tascam M-2600

    Sorry for my ignorance but what does that mean exactly? I know it has to do with polarity or something, but does that effect the way you connect with equipment thats wired pin 2 hot?

    Tascam M-2600

    This mixer kicks ass! Really easy to use, really flexible routing, super quiet and "warm sounding". I rather liked the preamps actually- it gave my acoustic guitar a gritty character I hadn't been able to get with my outboard pres. Just my first impressions...:)

    Fostex e2

    Hey thanks for the reply... so I cleaned it up and loaded some tape up and it works fine except that it doesn't record or playback audio, has a loud humming noise on the outputs, and starts smoking when you leave it on too long:eek::mad: It left my control room smelling like burning rubber:D...

    Tascam M-2600

    Thanks for the reply. Its on the way so I guess I'll see when it gets here. I'm not too concerned about the pres since I have plenty of outboard. Just needed a flexible tool for routing and multitracking.

    Fostex e2

    Just scored a Fostex e-2 tape deck for free! Its been gathering dust for who knows how long so I don't know what kind of condition its in. Haven't dealt with these types of machines before but I'm excited to play around with it. Just wondering if anyone owns one of these, or if anyone has any...

    Tascam M-2600

    Anyone ever own one of these? Opinions? I found one for $400 and I'm thinking about grabbing it. The only thing I hesitate about is I believe the direct outs and tape returns are unbalanced (rca?) connections. Is this true? Could this be problematic?

    Harmony question

    Care to enlighten me? The exercise, by the way was to harmonize it using only I, IV, V, and V7..... you had to get fancy with your secondary dominants:) Should probably start on V though, my bad.
