Re: If you HAD to choose...

I haven't used the c4's, but I did an a/b of oktava's and AKG C1000's as drum overheads and the Oktava's won hands down, if that helps any.

Re: My friend is recording my band's album. Need gear advice

I can't think of one single time in my life when I've compressed toms to tape. My favorite tom mics are the MC012s and I've used A LOT of different mics on toms. Have you allotted any of your budget to room treatment, design, or decent monitoring? I just wanted to limit them to make sure they didn'...

Re: My friend is recording my band's album. Need gear advice

I hope you're planning on miking the kick and snare. Sorry, I guess I was a little unclear. Yeah, we have a crapload of gear (more than I'm used to anywho), I was just focusing on what I thought were the parts that in my opinion could be easily improved on. Kick: Audix D6 --> Avalon Snare: 57 --> N...

My friend is recording my band's album. Need gear advice!

Hello everyone, So a band that I'm finally happy with and keeps on gaining momentum is recording an album. One of our good friends (who is an excellent musician and we are so lucky to have him give us suggestions on our music) is recording us. So we're using my DAW setup: Tracking to PTools via a Di...

Re: UA UAD-1: Project vs. Studio

I'd have to say it's worth the money. The fairchild and 1176 emulations are worth the money alone imo. It's definately the best investment I've made for my DAW.

He said he's been collecting for 28 years. It took me all day to get through that thread. More power to him.

Re: Trade me your gear for a cargo van in New York City

Hey, my band is looking for a gigging vehicle. I'll talk to em about it and I'll be in contact with you. I don't have much gear, but I could probably swing the $$$.

Re: Is this sad, or nerd awesome?

The noise/rock band I play in called "players club" is playing at the middle east on our us tour in july/august. I think we play there july 21's or second... That's awesome! I'm actually playing at TT the bears on the 21st! (it's literally around the corner). I've never met a fellow tape opper in p...

Re: Is this sad, or nerd awesome?

I had a dream last night that I was sitting at a bar arguing with Joel H. (who I've not met in person) about how to swing 16th notes.
Well, at least I'm not the only one. That's pretty hilarious.

Re: Is this sad, or nerd awesome?

Believe me guys, I would quit my day job in a second...but then I wouldn't have money to buy all these wonderful audio/guitar toys. Not to mention that my girlfriend can't find work and I'm currently supporting her. Why can't we just get paid to hang out and play music all day? I eat lunch everyday ...

Is this sad, or nerd awesome?

I forget when it happened, but I had a dream about the tape op message board. Probably a night or two ago. I think I was just browsing the board (in my dream) and then I was magically whisked away to the tape op convention. All I can remember is TapeOpHillary was there because I remember seeing her ...

Re: Pro Tools Vs Nuendo?

I have Pro-Tools LE, and Nuendo 2.1 on PC. I use them both quite often. If I'm tracking, I'll use PTools. With my personal experience and my current computer setup, it just runs more stable. No hiccups. Also, I find that I can edit much faster in PTools, as well as manage my files. I love consolidat...
