Message Board

Nearly all business relationships boil down to trust. I heard in an interview w/ Ian MacKaye that Dischord has NEVER signed a record deal - all handshake deals. Not that I'd encourage that in this case but the principle should definitely be there. I agree with everyone else that you should find a la...

Kinda late reply (sry). But I really like this kind of tracking. I agree with Nick's point earlier about not messing with the whole vibe. +1 on Fatheads, or something similar. Getting a couple mics in Blumlein or mid-side would work wonders. After a couple sessions, you'll have a good idea of where ...

Quit my sales job last year to pursue a solo album & record label. I ended up getting another day job after 5 months, but I'm slowly working my way back into recording & label stuff with Mono y Mono Records. So here it is - would be great to hear some feedback. I found Welcome to 1979 and Tommy Wigg...

This is good stuff dude. I like how beefy the guitars are, and there's plenty of space between instruments. Keep it up!

I studied undergrad neuropsych a few years ago. Learned about some really interesting brain mapping techniques for stroke victims (ie, controlling a mouse from their head). Another example is where they put light sensors on someone's neck (they would get hotter or prick the neck or something when ac...

Hey dude, I was actually about to ask the exact same thing here... have slightly different gear (a few more options) but I'm essentially in the same boat. Running cables under my bedroom door into a living room, where I'll 4 or 5 track drums through my MOTU (meh), ART (meh), and Vintech X73i (booya)...

Here's where I'd start: 1. Tube LDC, preamp gain slightly high, output slightly lower than usual, singer a 2ish feet away 2. SM57/58 singer holds close to mouth while singing, tracked clean + plugin distortion or through a cheapo tube pre, per earlier posts 3. Double vox/add sample delays etc. and m...

Having searched for fuzzy Hendrix-esque explosion sounds out of my gear for years, here are a few thoughts and +1's from previous posts. Small amp, low output pickups (tele, strat, vintage hum), cranked, SM57. (+1) Double bass with whatever the guitar is playing. (+1) Prefader mono reverb sends. Don...

I'm using Focal CMS50's and adore these things. They still have some indie cred left, too. +1 on acoustic treatment. Also budget for a matching sub no matter which speaks you buy. This has been the biggest issue for me between room/car/ipod mixes, and I am still hurtin for that extra $1k sub. But wh...

I got out of school recently, studying psychology. We forayed into psychoacoustics and here's what I remember. FYI I have tinnitus too, so I was really interested in figuring out a way to combat it. Your inner ear has hair cells which look kind of like those big tall hats you see garden gnomes weari...
