Why not use an external drive? You can pick one up fairly cheaply for a whole bunch of storage. Also, it's better not to record on your internal drive. If you are really set on replacing your internal drive, speed is always better than more space when it comes to recording. Just remember to clone yo...

I just finished selling three pianos on craigslist!! What a piano tuner pointed out to me is that you want to make sure the bridges aren't cracked. Those are the wooden pieces attached to the soundboard that the strings run over. If these are cracked, it's a bigger repair cost than probably what the...

Thank you for sharing this! Very cool!

Rope-a-Dope brings back memories of listening to Sex Mob at Tonic at a midnight show a few years back. Still miss that place...

Sorry if I missed something in your post but don't you just want an XLR splitter. Not a Y cable, but more something like this:

I would recommend the Radial boxes if you got the funds.

1) Apogee Symphony Mobile card. It's pretty expensive but a pretty cool use of the express card slot. 2) eSATA port cards. You're basically adding SATA speed drives to your laptop. This is what video editors are using to do HD editing on laptops. Would be good for recording use if you wanted to keep...

These engineers have both been mentioned but not in this context. The late David Baker and Joe Ferla recordings of the Maria Schneider Orchestra. It may be that I just love the band that much but the recordings capture the feel of the pieces amazingly well. They set the standard for modern jazz big ...

aggghhhhhhhh!! [large room echo here]

That statement almost exactly sums up my thoughts on the topic.

I don't think you should call a drive partition an "archive". The data is still on the same physical drive and if it fails, you will still lose everything. It does, however, bring up a good point for Silverjet. Your best maintenance procedure maybe to go out and buy a second hard drive to transfer a...

This may come across sounding a little stupid, but bear with me for a sec. The line input specs you listed go from -10dB to +36dB. If you set them to 0dB, wouldn't they be providing no gain, thus not adding much to your sound?? I think that's what the Focusrite tech was trying to say. I would also s...

If you're just doing two tracks, try Audacity. Works fine on my MBP with 10.4.9

And it's free...

The Canon Powershot series of digital cameras work on AA batteries and have a decent movie mode. They just came out with some new models for this year so last year's models may be available for not that much. I have the A610 which has a great set of controls in movie mode. Your biggest enemy on the ...

I'm a little late to the party but this is a really great thread. As for me, I've played in big bands up into the college level and have recorded bands from High School to Pro. IMHO, there is nothing like a great band in full swing. The power and emotion that comes through can't be beat. I just also...
