i couldn't recommend the nord stage 88 more highly. the only thing that sucks is the price tag. its worth it though! you'll never need another piano/electric piano/organ for live use. i've been touring with it pretty regularly for 2 years and i haven't had any problems. it survived having water spit...

Recently relocated here. Anybody around? What do you do/do you have studios/are you in bands, etc?

did you check the solder joints where the speaker wires connect to the amp? i have a mark I and it would crackle and cut out sometimes which drove me crazy forever. finally figured it out.

i'm pretty sure that applying this just made my drum mixes sound twice as good. you are amazing. I use a super slow compressor for this. you can effectively turn down anything with longer duration that 150 Ms by setting the attack at , um, well, 150 Ms or so, and at a really low ratio, like 1.5:1. r...

if I were you I might also consider setting a reasonable (but fairly short) time limit on how much longer you're willing to spend before completing the project and telling them that. something along the lines of, "you're only paying me x which is already incredibly cheap for the quality product you'...

thank you! you just made my day!

that's the goal. a work in progress! in this case it was his actual snare that sounds like that, but i hear what you're saying. i haven't been doing this too long, but its very enjoyable to see the ways i've improved each step of the way. hopefully i'll eventually be able to do exactly what you're t...

yeah, clearly I know how it should sound.

haha! to his credit, he's an excellent drummer. he played all these songs in 5 takes or less all the way through to a click. but yeah, next time i'll take the muffles off.

ahh, yeah. that's how the drummer likes it!

thanks for the kind words! what's your qualm with the snare sound?

here's a third song if you'd like to take a listen. this one's got a slightly different vibe, both the song and the mix.

i'm checking it out. not entirely sure. could it be the noisy guitar track? that has some distortion on it, but that's how we tracked it. if its something else i'm not hearing it. what do you think?

which song? where are you hearing distortion?

btw, i'm just curious what your listening enviroments are. i don't have too great a setup so i want to make sure there's no weird low end things going on, etc.
