It does sound like the power harness. I tour with a Digi002 and at least once a week this problem will occur, I called Digi and ordered a new part, which they sent for free for me to fit. They also told me the work around, which is opening it up and disconnecting and reconnecting the ribbon cables c...

If you've got a Mark Trombino article, which I think you do,
could you do a from the archives on it soon?

Would love to read it!

I don't mind "recorded by..." In the times when I haven't produced something, I personally think it sounds more natural and part of the experience than "engineered by..." If you think it's important to be credited for each aspect, go for it! If a band are all present for the all mix and throwing in ...

I managed to get a free Electro-Voice Cardinal microphone after playing a show sponsored by them a few years ago (the joys of SXSW!) It sounds great on snare bottom, before I was mostly using 57s, 421s, 441s. I find myself having to do less to the EV and generally having the snare bottom feature mor...

I've played so many gigs in NYC. The smaller venues with 20 band bills are unavoidable nightmares. Having a booking agent has dramatically improved our fees in these venues from $0 to something. Thankfully these shows only happen a couple of times a year, so I roll into them like they're a festival ...

Hey,
I have the chance to buy an MCI JH16 2"
Does anyone have a ball park figure for such machines
in good working condition.
It's in UK/Europe.

Thanks.

This sounds great! Good luck with it all.
I'd love to hear it when you're finished.

Got sorted in the end with a place in NYC,
Thanks for all the info everyone.

We travel back and forth to the states four or five times and year and we're always looking to get tracks recorded while on tour, so I'll keep all these places in mind!

I'm going to be on tour and need to spend a couple of days recording, I need somewhere with Pro Tools HD, mac based would be ideal. Somewhere with loads of old drums, amps, synths and effects , space to record roomy drums, We play Brooklyn on March 1st and State College, PA on the 4th. So somewhere ...

Thanks guys,

I like the idea of running through an amp alot,
I'll give it a go!

My band is about to start playing a song live that needs distorted vocals. Has anyone got good mic / distortion advice to avoid feedback and still sound great on a pretty noisy stage? The track is here: www.myspace.com/oppenheimer It's called The Never Never. I didn't record the original vocals, so ...

Thanks for that.
I love the Reggie & the full effect stuff.
I didn't realise he did the anniversary too.

I really like the song I heard on the site! If he's pretty consistent in volume but quiet throughout, you may just need to boost it, there's only so loud it'll be able to go in a live situation though. I'd say if it's an issue - a good microphone and good on stage placement would be more useful than...

Another recommendation for Saff Mastering.
He has a great rate calculator on his site too.

yeah amazing band, great lyrics.
They were the first touring band I ever mixed sound for when they passed through Belfast many years ago.

so much wine, i know you are there, lie down, in the air are some of my favourites.

I'd love to read a feature on them.
