good plan! can i help?

Is that some sort of horn in a case on the floor there to the right of the Gibson gig bag?

french horn. it's an old beater & i don't play like i did in jr high, but it's fun to record a few support notes & cram em into a mix once in a while.

i've moved since this shot. need to take a few pix of the new space.
in this shot theres:
MicroKorg

Jupiter6
Rhodes 88 Mark II

"because out of the twenty five interns we have, you have ears and aren't an ass or an asshole". i think the key here is knowing when you're in a situation where you are being tested for validity as a candidate willing to "pay their dues" vs. being tormented & abused by an egomaniac. this is probab...

But if you want exposure to, say, film mixing, or pop (whether you think it's cool or not) buying an mbox and a 57 isn't going to get you there. It's a nice philosophy, but it is somewhat narrow minded. my interests in sound are personal & not so much commercial. so for me, i'd get more out of reco...

The guy was (and still is) way above me "on the food chain". that's a given right? he's the one with the gear & the gig. I was a friend of his nephew, I think he felt obligated to let me come and try to help him, but he really didn't want me there if I wasn't going to be of any actual help. I have ...

i went with a novation xstation for controlling my laptop soft synths. for me it was all about having the soundcard built in & it's a standalone synth as well, in addition to a buncha knobs & sliders. i liked the akai controller but that would require another converter. for my desktop PC i use my ol...

check out the Midas Venice. the biggest complaint is the bus count.

He had me wash his floor (on my hands and knees) in one square foot patches, drying as I went to not create humidity. Anyway, when he finally asked my opinion on something I gave the most idiotic response. I can't even remember what it was, but I do remember the look he gave me afterward. so how di...

distribution - https://members.cdbaby.com/default.aspx CD baby puts you on most of the high traffic digital download sites. maybe shop around if yer catering to a niche market. short run cd duplication (i think they also do posters) - http://www.oasiscd.com/ i wouldn't do more than a couple hundred ...

or you could just cut out the middle man, start a lawn mowing business & use the profits to build up your own recording environment.

i pulled the trigger on a Lucid GENx192... i'll post again once i think i've wrapped my head around what happens with my setup. so i spent the weekend rearranging my setup. pulled my speakers away from the wall, hooked the lucid up to my ada8000's, hung up some acoustic treatment in the front corne...

i have a Herman Miller Aeron @ work, it's great. i can sit in it all day.
i went with an officemart $100 leather exec chair @ home & it's nice, but not as form fitting as the Aeron, gotta get up & walkabout every so often.

i like to start a project clean, but if a lil chaos doesn't ensue over the course of it than it was probably an uninspired session. another thing i feel compelled to do is reorganize the gear in some way periodically. i'm currently attempting a major shift but there is a bunch of furniture & crap ob...
