    I Sit, remix with real drums.

    I've posted this before, but this weekend I did a lot of work on it. First of all, I replaced the programmed drum samples with real drums. I played drums for a duration of about two years almost 17 years ago so I'm still very rusty. This is as good as it gets after two weeks of practice. :)...

    Pay $1300, or be a musician and learn to tune?

    I know it shouldn't, but for some reason this annoys me. http://www.tronical.com/ These are the tuners that come on Gibson's "Robot Guitar" (AKA: Expensive gimmick for douchebags.) I guess since it's a Gibson it'll be a collector's item one day. If you can't tune a guitar, you shouldn't pay...

    Modding an ART Tube MP Studio

    I purchased a pair of these from Musicians Friend last year since I figured for $29/each it was worth checking them out. With my MXL V63M condenser they both are quiet, but with my SM57 and my Beta58 they are both as noisy as hell. I've read where some people have modded these ART preamps to...

    Yesterday - Beatles cover

    I wanted to test out my new Beta 58 mic so I decided to try a cover. The guitar is my Martin D16 running direct. Three tracks, the fingerpicked rhythm, the solo guitar and vocal. I took some TheraFlu this morning which gave me about a half hour window to do the vocals without breaking out...

    First mix with my new KRKs...

I'm a one man band, so this is all me. Let me know what you think about the mix and/or performance. I still...

    First mix with my new KRKs...

    I'll start by saying my new Rokit 5s are so much better to mix with than my home stereo speakers. :p This is the first verse and chorus of a new song I'm working on called "Monochrome." I'm a one man band, so this is all me. Let me know what you think about the mix and/or performance. I...

    Budget bass traps.

    So: I called my local insulation dealer to inquire about Owens Corning 703 insulation and found that they carry the four inch thickness stuff in cases of four for just $25 a case. Can I just cover these pieces in porous fabric and hang them and still have fair results for my mixing and...

    I Sit

    Here's a project I'm currently working on. A friend of mine wrote a poem and I turned it into a song. "I Sit" http://www.michaelwthompson.com/music/sample8.mp3 I've been messing with it for hours and can't tell how the mix sounds any more. :confused: I'll try again tomorrow after I've had...
