I really need to get back on the subscription. I think mine ran out a while ago, so I just grabbed the one that came to the studio, then I think that one ran out too, so now I have to borrow friends when they're done with them.

ah, I cringe at the mention of "remastered". There's been so many bad cases. I've A/B'd old jazz Lps to their "remastered" cd's and the Lp kicks their ass almost everytime. I am interested to hear the Jeff Beck and Billie Holiday remasters though. Once in a great while, you hear something really goo...

this happens to me probably weekly. but only with the people who are half deaf anyway and have their headphones set to "stun" already.

If you flip them off and mouth "fuck you" through the window as soon as it happens, you assert dominance over them right away and they won't say a peep. :wink:

I just finished demoing the K Custom Dry Ride and I like it quite a bit. It cut right through the rest of the kit. Maybe a bit too much for me though, I think I'm going to go with something mellower.

Well, I finally got around to calling Apple tech support today and they said they'd replace the dongle for free (pheww!). I had to give them a credit card number for them to hold on file until I sent them back my old one. The only shitty part is that it's going to take around 10-16 business days.

oh cymbals can be a beautiful thing!

I'm trying out the Zildjian K Custom Dry Ride right now. I threw up some mics and I'll see how well it sits in the mix.

Let's talk cymbals...

I'm a crappy drummer at best. But as an engineer I'm tired of fighting with sounds when drummers bring in their P.O.S. kit with crappy loud ass gigging cymbals, so for the last couple of months I've been buying drum stuff here and there (kicks snares hats etc) so I can offer these guys a better alte...

I was told to call apple tech support and I'd have to pay for a new one shipped out (about $100 I think) and then I'd just send in the broken one. I was super-damn excited to have all my gear at my house again assembled with two weeks off coming with nothing but time to record and then this happens....

does anyone else feel like 2006 was a pretty weak year for releases? There really hasn't been too many great records in my opinion. But I'm sure there were a few that slipped under my radar, which hopefully this thread will correct me on. so far, the one I love the most is Joanna Newsom's "Ys" I thi...

HELP! I broke my Logic XSKey dongle

Like an idiot, I was taking my computer from my studio to my house and accidentally left the dongle in the usb slot and bent it.

Does anyone know where I can get a new one fast? I looked around online and couldn't really find out how to go about getting a new one.

The studio I work at usually charges a flat half day/day rate. Which is good, but I think it lends to people becoming lazy if they feel like they don't have to look at the clock, until they see that they have an hour left and then they kick into over-drive. I notice a lot of t.v. watching, talking o...
