Hey, all. I am opening a yoga studio in Portland, Maine (http://www.portlandpoweryoga.com/) and I need to do two things: 1) I need a sound system. I'd like it to be duak use, so it could just handle playing CD's or an iPod, but also be able t handle live performance if necessary. The studio space is...

God, I love this board. So helpful. Thank God. Um. I don't know exactly. Still alot of MIDI stuff, but I foresee more guitars and live drums. Some vox and hand percussion. And possibly monkeys in deep foreplay. A question for you CRT. What kind of music will you be recording? What kind of instrument...

Yes, nail on the head. As I get older, I get less and less time to work on music. Ugh.

I mean, without a lot of time to record, you won't learn much about recording.

IIRC, I recorded annother teacher in the room with a sony Datcorder and a Sony Stereo Mic. Got a shitload of heater noise, but fortunately the teacher is classically trained to project, so you could hear him real easy over a jet engine or Karl Rove's asshoie. THIS would be ideal for recording in our...

ah, er, how do you mean? Yeah, without time it will be difficult.

as it is I get shit done in a day.

That will be very difficult.

THIS would be ideal for recording in our studio. Way cool. But we also have heaters that make a shitload of noise. How do I cancel that out? In matering or post production? My example was based on oone of the offices at my job, where they plan to record some focus groups. The 4 mics are set spaced e...

I think it's funny that people get upset about gear questions. Unless someone is saying "Which peice of equipment will make my recordings sound like Glyn Johns?" who gives a fluck? I'm just looking for some meat'n'potatoes type of stuff. Just the basics. I know: pre, eq, compressor. But I have a bud...

That's a good point. I guess what I need ot reiterate is that I, who has some small idea about recording techniques, am not going to be on the scene to set up. SO it has to be easily portable and monkey-ready foolproof. Basically, one of his assitants has to be able to put it together. And since he'...

Yeah, he is the client who wants the champagne sound foor the beer budget. I believe he's using the Shure headset already. I am not sure exactly how it is wired in with the lav. I guess it's separate, so he wears the lav and then he also wears the headset. [sigh] I guess this is the plight mmost of ...

Hello, Gods! I have been a reader of TapeOp for a few years now, beginning with me just flipping through at my man Bryan Carrigan's joint while he was doing recording magic I knew jack-shit about. So in the times I couldn't help him other than say, "uh, it sounds cool there" I'd be flipping through ...

Well, since he won't see this, I can say honestly that he won't spring for most of these as he's cheap. Which is whhy I have two jobs. But I love my yoga! I know he's done some recordings where it's just been him seated and being recorded "properly." But these situations are not usually ideal for pr...

Hey, thank you Joel! BTW, I loved the article on your studio in The BIble - I mean, Tapeop. Seriously, he moves around to demo poses and to asssist people in poses. I like the idea of getting the mobile setup together. The thing is, however, the setup neeeds to be easy to use by non-professionals. K...

Hi, all. Ye Tapeop Gods, I am unworthy to dare post here but here I go. I work at a yoga studio. We teach a style that requires the room to be 95 degrees. It gets hot, sticky and sweaty reall quick. Don't even ask me about smells. My teacher does alot of classes all over the country and we record th...
