That was really cool stuff and the website that it's on is great. Super job.

I have no idea how to achieve any of those sounds you're looking for but I play some pretty heavy music through a Sunn amp and tried a 609 on it for a while and decided it was lacking. Changed to an Audix i5 and it was much better. Senn 421 and it was great. I think I'd be leaving those mattresses o...

I was just having this conversation with our singer the other day. He's pretty new to the recording thing and has been bit hard by the recording bug. We have a few different flavors to choose from and I'm definitely from the better to have it and not need it school. I'd love to have a decent board t...

I never knew Ain't It Fun was a RFTT song. Always thought it was a Dead Boys original. Every band I've been in since I was 17 has broken up. Sometimes they just run their course and sometimes it's gets really personal and hateful. I've always found myself in the position of trying to be the leader a...

We're using a Tascam US 1800 interface. I was pretty surprised how good it sounded.

I've had the chance to compare Pro Tools (Digi 002 running PT 7.something) to the Presonus Studio One recently and I have to say at least from the sound of it the Presonus has my attention. I haven't had a chance to work with it enough to compare workflows or learning curves but just in terms of thr...

Cool post and thanks for the Soundcloud samples. I've seen SSL type compression in print a lot but never knew what one sounded like or even what ball park it was in. Great drum sound to start with.

I've gotten in the habit of after every function hitting my Command + S to save just in case something crashes and I haven't saved in a while. Otherwise as others have said. For learning new stuff as far as techniques and all YouTube has been invaluable if it's the right person who made the video. I...

The tapeouts do bypass everything. It's what I'm using these days to record some stuff. Seriously Mr.Fanbelow. I know you want what you want and you want it now and to be able to use it all at once and everything but it just doesn't work that way. Slow your roll and learn everything about one or two...

Mixing ITB without the screen was the main reason I got the Digi 002 Control Mixer thing or whatever it's called instead of the rackmount version. It took me a while to get used to scrolling through subscreens but at least it was hands on and I didn't have to use a mouse all the time. But my favorit...

Actually I haven't cleaned or demaged recently so thanks for reminding me. I always forget the obvious little stuff. I'll pull the Handy Mag out this weekend and order up some fluid. Can I use 90% or better Isoprop on this?

The classics never die and perhaps that's what makes them classics although in the whole scheme of things it's just another tool in the box. But that being said I"m rockin my 424III like crazy these days and it's been a year since I've broken out the PT rig. I'm even considering shipping my TSR 8 ba...

I was going in through the XLR. Thanks for the explanation. You were able to explain some things that I wasn't aware of. The Tascam has both XLR and 1/4 inch input, but I think it's the same signal path so they both pass through the mic pre which I guess means that there is no real line in. I'll dou...

That's a great price for that board. I so wish I could take advantage.

Last night I was recording some vocals to my 424III. The chain was a Senn 421 through a Scully 280 and then right into the Tascam but of course the Tascam pre was all the way down. Having the Tascam channel meter hitting at about three or maybe four segments before absolute peaking it sounded ok but...
