Looks great! And that still-unused stack of drywall sheets says that you'll either end up dead or looking like a bodybuilder. Why not both? My wife just started a new job as a carpenter's apprentice. Unfortunately, her current job site also required her to learn how to hang drywall over the last tw...

Re: Mono Auratone - who knew??

I might have been reading / skimming too quick, but I. Don’t see you mentioning what you’re powering the mono auratone with. Super curious. On an adjacent note, during a recent relocation and temporary downsizing of my home studio, lucked into a mint pair of NS-10’s and have been running them off o...

It sounds like you're pressing too hard with the pencil, and it's making ruts in the sessions underneath.
Ha!

Re: The bottom of the snare

:lol: all y'all! That pic reminds me of seeing Iron Maiden circa 1980. Top o' th' page to ya's! You saw Maiden in 1980??? Holy Shit! What size of venue? Where? I'm embarrassed to say I've never seen Maiden or Priest. WTF is wrong with me? My wife has seen both a few times. !980, opening for, I thin...

Re: Getting motivated on your own music recording projects.

things going really bad? Record absolute carnage. Love this. I take this approach when playing guitar all the time. If I don't have anything good to play I just play the worst nonsense imaginable and it always makes me laugh and usually leads to something useful. It’s awesome, right? I take an old ...

Re: Getting motivated on your own music recording projects.

Part of the reason is I know half of what I create will be asked to take out or turned way down. I must say that I'm sort of the guy who chops a lot of other's peoples' stuff out of a song. So the person I end up doing the most with knows this, has complained about it sometimes... but now they just...

Re: Snares - what’s everyone using nowadays?

I only have one snare, which I bought for my wife back when she wanted to play drums. I take it to tracking sessions with me just in case. 14" brass Yamaha. IMG_0175.JPG keep that one for sure I still haven't had a chance to record it and we've had it for at least 7 years! It sounds amazing! Every ...

Unless you're extremely experienced (or jaded), you could try and see it as an opportunity to try new technical approaches, without the pressure to justify the time to paying clients.
This is a great suggestion!

Re: Getting motivated on your own music recording projects.

Interested in what other say. But your idea is pretty cool one! very cool. I would love to attempt something similar just to get moving. I'm way behind on key/synth parts for the new blackQueen record. Pete and I have been in a rut getting it done for the last three years. Part of the reason is I kn...

Re: New Pro Tools, who dis? "FREEZE"

I also just want to say that I hate "dark mode" and turn that off first thing (then it's good unless I'm asked by Avid support to clear prefs - which is the first thing they ask you to do whether it is relevant or not). Also, probably because I'm using track coloring (which I'm guessing maybe you h...
