When I do recordings of bands, which are like this, multi day, I always always always spend the first day(s) getting the recording sounds. Drums first if possible, followed by the basic bass, rhythm guitar, keyboards, and at least a scratch vocal. Depending on their budget and time, I try to nail th...

My really great 2Ubes VTX tube mic preamp. Made by hand by my friend Larry Janus. Crazy good, and it has WiFi, so I can change the settings from my phone while adjusting a microphone in the other room or across the room. Has a great sound. At some point, I'll be getting a 2nd one. Great on electric ...

Another collaboration with a friend of mine.

Cool song.

I'd recommend some AKG 451s. Or AKG 414s. The trick is to listen to the placement, so you get the kick and snare in the middle of your Stereo image. After that, you can EQ and compress a bit until the kit sounds balanced. I don't like ribbons on percussions, they can and do tend to smush transients,...

I'd ask this:

What is the best playback system you have, and can you somehow play what the ME sent back to you on that?
What other high quality material can you play back?
Is this BT speaker the only thing you have to play back stuff with?

According to someone on here, the PM stays in your inbox until it is read by the recipient.

I'll send you a test one... and you can reply to it.

I did get your message, but it was deleted, so I could not read it.

My storage is only around 7% full.

In the interest of time, Feel free to PM me and I’ll reply with the info I was trying to provide you.

Hi Alex, I saw a "delete message" from you.

If it's nothing... then ok, if not, feel free to reply here.

Cheers

However, I see now that you can calibrate "0 db = _____ dBFS" !!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT I SHOULD HAVE IN BLANK "____dBFS"!!! Hi Trodden, Here, I have my consoles "above zero dB" set to match on my converters. My A&H console has +16 dB metering peak at the mix buss, and the direct outs are a little hott...

Maybe point me in a direction you like. I imagine they've been around a while. I’m not the OP, but if they’re on the same page as me, Wilco-wise, I’d tell you to start with Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and then move on to A Ghost is Born, and Sky Blue Sky. Wilco does have a shit-ton of material out there,...

" My uncle who passed last year loved working with stained glass and had made us a Japan themed table awhile back. Its surface was uneven due to all the various glass involved making it awkward to place glasses on, so i hit upon removing the table legs and back-lighting it as wall art this winter. S...

Well she was also a wonderful human and actor. RIP.

Did not work much as an audio engineer, did a few EP projects and a few album mixes. Personal and family stuff came first, and always will. This year hoping it is better business wise. I'm developing a product related to guitar pedals, should be advertised on TapeOp soon. Also joined Amazon Audible ...

I figured out how to make the EHX 8 step program pedal play notes, in tune, and send those control voltages over to my ARP 2600. Thankfully, the ARP has two sets of outputs, so I could tune each slider of the sequencer to a note, via sending the output to my guitar tuner. It prefers sine waves LOL. ...

You could jury rig a circular railing with bearings, smooth and well oiled ones, using a silent electric motor, as silent as possible anyways, and have the mic inside the frame, with its null cancelling most of the motor noise. Yeah, but who's got the space for such a contraption? Well, if you look...
