Okay, just kidding. I hope anyway. I just installed my Saffire 56 in my rack but am waiting on my new computer to get here so I can play with it. I have used the Line 6 UX1 faithfully during the past 4 years because I did 4 tours in Iraq and needed something to do when not getting shot at. It...

I recently spent some time (many many hours) listening to "Landmines," and "Ten Feet of Snow," by The Action Design. Besides great mics, pres, and studio gear, how do they get her to sound so clean and crisp without killing the higher freqs? I really am weak at vox mixing. The harmonics are just...

I recently, or more appropriately, recently ordered a few things to get the ball rolling on a semi-pro studio. I say Semi-Pro not to invoke images Will Ferrell dunking a basketball but because I have not officially launched my website or made money or signed a billion dollar contract. Right...

I got the idea for this thread from the "which solo should I learn" thread. The premise is to offer opinions of your favorite/most technical (and still musical) albums. Here is an excerpt: I vote for LTE!!!!

I will be living in a hotel room for a couple months while I relocate to Washington D.C. (currently in Colorado Springs). I will be working on some demo projects during my transition. I have to decide if I should buy the KRK RP 6 ($300 for the ugly yellow) or by the Beyerdynamic DT 770 ($249)...

I am looking at a few tube microphones (Rode NTK, ADK TT, GT-67). I will be using them to record acoustic guitar and vocals. I want something to compliment my very limited mic cabinet (SM57, BLUE Dragonfly). I thought about using a ribbon but have even less knowledge on those. I will be using...

I have been recording, mixing, and mastering my songs for about 6 years now (I know, I know... It takes at least 50-60 years to train your ears! :) ). Anyway, I have taught myself the process and have had to "unlearn" some big mixing/mastering no-no's (like mixing with the mastering effects...

I am on a quest to find the best all-around session ax priced from $750 - $999. I have a Fender Fat Strat (mexi) with an EMG 81, Seymour Duncan SHR-1, and Seymour Duncan JB Jr. It sounds nice, don't get me wrong. I need a very well-built ax that is versatile (can go from Evanescence to John...

I am interested in what you all consider, "every project," VST pluggins. I have sorted through about 500 VST's in the past years and have only kept a few in my, "must use," arsenal. Here is my list: Waves Rcomp Waves Linear Multi band Waves L2 Waves Shuffler Waves MaxxBass BBE Sonic Maximizer...

Long time listener, first time caller.... I am planing on taking my "hobby" to the next step when I return from what will be my last tour in Iraq. I have 5 tours now and have managed to learn quite a bit about recording, sound engineering, and mastering. Of course, I started this hobby about 10...
