Friendzzzz! thanks so much for the advice and discussion. For a total of $355 I ended up buying the following: HP Pavilion 590-p0056 with i5-8400, 16GB RAM (2x8gb), 1TB HDD (audio drive), and a 256gb m.2 SSD (OS drive) Methinks I should be pretty good on my studio super computer mach 4 (or is it 5?)...

Friendz, I've always been someone that can rock at the lowest budget. Case in point, it's 2020 and my current studio PC is based around an HP Pavilion P6000 Desktop w/ a Phenom IIx4 2.8ghz + 8gb ram. I use this with RME's Fireface UCX. I came in to a wee bit o' cash ($350) that I'd love to use to pu...

Friends, Could you suggest how one might achieve the vocal effect Tony Visconti & team used on Flo & Eddie's backing vocals for Marc Bolan's "Main Man" off of the Slider LP? I can't tell if they're ran through a Leslie or some sort of flanger/phaser box or what. Speaking of boxes, I'd be attempting ...

dearest tapeop'ers, my beloved mid-70s fender precision bass is not putting out nearly as much signal as she used to. a clue to the problem must be in the fact that the tone knob is somewhat acting as a volume. all very disturbing in the midst of a recording session. do you have any highly recommend...

Yeah, it really just needs to be able to be removed without a problem...we may be there for only one year. If I built a dense floor on rubber u-boats or pucks and then built a room around that which did not touch the walls and a ceiling, would that work to isolate the drums from the original concret...

Thanks for your replies... I am a committed self-recorder so I really am interested in recording at home. I love the unique results of your own space no matter it's limitations. That said, I am wondering if it would make sense to build a semi-modular box (4 walls & ceiling) perhaps based on Sepmeyer...

Dearest TapeOppers, I'd like to gather some ideas from y'all... I have just relocated from Detroit to Chicago, but due to the worldwide economic woes I am unable to sell my home back in Michigan and will be renting a place in Chicago. Because of this situation I can not do anything permanent in my n...

Dearest TapeOppers, Unfortunately one of my low frequency driver's in my 20/20bas monitors blew. Looking to purchase a replacement speaker I contacted the manufacturer Event Electronics. Since they no longer carry the part the support person suggested that I find an alternative by purchasing a simil...

Yes! That might do it...

Hello my dear TapeOppers, I am living betwixt Detroit & Chicago at the moment and I do a lot of Amtrakin'. I purchased the incredibly miniature Korg Nanokey to sketch out tracks while traveling. Being relatively new to MIDI and Garageband, I am wondering if one of you more seasoned types could offer...

Yes! I have totally noticed that as well... I thought that the production of the drums on that record (specifically Hurricane) must have sounded a bit nostalgic in 1976. I wonder if there is a story behind that. Hmm...

I love music.

Just to let you know... I appreciate those insights. I tried the basic hi-pass/lo-pass settings that was mentioned regarding RS106 unit and lo & behold they made lots o' sonic sense!

AstroDan--- yes, yes... Only Living Boy in NY... yes! That is another track that I recall loving the over the top drum reverb. Thanks for your words & advice.

Let's say that the sound on that drum track is that of a completely unique space... the Abbey Road echo chamber. Now, I know I can't just dial that sound up on my Super Computer, but if one wanted to waste a lil' time with Altiverb (or the like) can anyone offer suggestions on where to start?

Dearest TapeOppers, I haven't pulled out the White Album for a number of years, but I had a nice uninterrupted listen to it recently while traveling by train. One of the things that struck me was the fantastically maudlin George Harrison penned track, "Long, Long, Long". I think that because I have ...
