Broadcast/Staging/Integration Firms in Austin

Anyone know any cool audio/video installers or staging companies working in Austin, TX? I moved back here in October after a long stint in NYC. Tired of the studio thing, just want to work in live sound and A/V installation projects. I've already emailed a bunch of companies, but was wondering if I ...

NYC parts store?

Embarassing to admit, but I've lived in NYC for 6 years without knowing a good local parts store for bulk cabling, interconnects, weird cables and the like. Anyone got a favorite? I usually end up going to Sam Ash or Guitar Center but it'd rock to go somewhere that has a good vibe for once.... Is Da...

Creedence snare sound?

Anyone know how to get that phat creedence snare sound? I'm thinkin' "lookin out my back door." I think it's a brush hit very hard..., and it sounds slightly roomy....but not really. I don't know too much about drum tuning, but I suspect that's a big factor. edit: here's a clue maybe....not studio f...

Thanks for the encouragement. I knew I'd somewhere read of people doing this kind of thing, but never really asked about it.

Overdubbing with Studio Monitors

The artist I am working with insists that we overdub tracks with the backing tracks coming through the studio monitors. He thinks it will feel more 'live' this way. Now, we're not talking DI overdubbing, but overdubbing live instruments with monitors on. Anyone got any ideas on the best way to do th...

Re: Tracking "live off the floor"

I'm doing this with a 3-piece band, by their request, next week. I don't have the necessary equipment or space at the moment, so it'll be done in a rehearsal room, to 2-track through a Soundcraft Powerstation 600 board. Far from ideal, but I still hope to get a good sounding demo out of it, and it'...

Studio Space available on Staten Island

Hi, I recently went and looked at a space available on staten island. The price isn't horrible (1250 a month) and the guy is totally willing to let a recording studio be there. You're isolated from the neighbors (rock out!) and can be as loud as you want. There's a lot of space for nyc standards(2 '...

Re: Blueridge Guitars

My neighbor was about to take a guitar to the goodwill when I intercepted him. I now have a Blueridge BR-CS classical guitar. I did a little web searching and it appears blueridges are pretty good. I wasn't able to find any info on this particular one (and it appears they don't make the classicals ...
