    Low budget, untreated room, what's it sound like?

    This is a project I recorded back in November. The room was a typical practice space, with high currugated metal roof, cement block walls, about 15' x 30' or so. One of the guitars is a pod, the bass is mostly a DI, vocals were recorded with MXL V63m, through an ACMP84. I used the ACMP84s on...

    Character In Recording? Good or Bad?

    I just posted a new article on my site about Character in recordings: http://suitcaserecordings.com/character-in-recordings.html I'd be curious to hear others' opinions on the issue. Do you try to create technically perfect, acoustically neutral recordings? Or do you make recordings that try...

    Going with your gut - When Thinking Too Much is Bad Thing!

    I was recently reading 'How we Decide' by Jonah Leher, in which he makes the case that complex decisions (ones with more than say 4 variables) are best made by going with our gut. I was thinking about this in regard to recording. Often, when I am recording a band, I don't try multiple set-ups...

    New Fender Reverb Comparison Site: FenderReverb.com

    I put this little page together for comparison shopping, I'm thinking of buying a Vibrolux, if the price is right... Check it out, I used affiliate links, so I'll make a (small) commission if you buy one ;-) FenderReverb.com Kinda silly, but you know how it is when you're home with the...

    FS: Yamaha GF 16/12 with Anvil Case $375

    This is a really nice little mixer, unique in that it has 4 Group outs, 6 aux sends, and the stereo buss. The eq sounds good, the preamps are clean and quiet, typical Yamaha quality. 12 mono inputs with preamps, 2 stereo line inputs. The board is a few years old, I used it as the front end to my...

    FS: Groove Tubes GT60 Tube Mic LDC

    This is a great mic, but I have a whole locker full of LDCs, and I've got my eye on some other outboard ;-) Asking $350, this sells at Sweetwater for $629. I've used it a couple of times, but it's still in the box. I'll pay shipping in the USA.

    FS: 50 ft 8 Channel Snake XLR, Stage Box

    I recently upgraded to a larger snake, so I have this one for sale. It has an XLR fantail on one end, a steel stage box on the other. Perfect for use with any of the 8 channel firewire interfaces, 828, firepod, etc. I used it for tracking drums, primarily. Asking $50, $10 for shipping in the US.

    Planet Waves "Strobe On String" Tuner

    Just got one of these little dealies today, pretty damn cool. Seems to work very well, it's a little limited (not a chromatic tuner), but for $15, it's very cool! http://www.planetwavestuners.com/index.php?option=com_tuner&task=tunerdetailpage&id=1

    Mix Services - Advice, Critique, etc...

    In the past, I've done some mixing for home recordists, but I'm feeling that this is a service I'd like to offer to more people. I'm trying to develop my 'pitch,' as it were, and so I'm hoping to get some feedback here. I'm not trying to get business from you all (yet!), but I'm hoping you...

    FS: MOTU 828 MKI Cheap!

    I recently upgraded to the new(er) 828MKII, so I'm selling the old reliable MKI. It works great, sounds good, I used it with my Soundcraft board, and used the ADAT input for my Mackie Onyx 800r. It's a very solid unit, never had it hang or crash. You can download the current drivers, etc. at...

    Neumann M147 Microphone

    This mic is in pristine condition, comes with the spider mount, and a hard case. Great sounding mic, but just a little out of my price range (wife's pregnant!) This is a great deal, I'm asking only $1500, shipped in the USA. PM me with your email for pictures. Thanks!

    FS: Behringer MDX 4400 4 channel compressor limiter

    I used this on drums sometimes, bass sometimes, even vocals on occasion. Works fine, sounds as good as it can for the price. I'm movin' on up, to a delux compressor in the sky... Well, anyway, it's yours for $75, shipped in the USA. (I also have a Groove Tubes Glory Comp, if you want something...

    F/S: Yamaha MX 12/6 12 Channel Mixer

    This is a Yamaha mixer, with 8 mic pre's and two stereo inputs. It has digital effects, and would be a good front end to a small DAW setup (allowing submixes, headphone mixes, etc.) I'm asking $225, shipped in the USA. It's pretty straightforward, Yamaha has since replaced these with the MG...
