...you can explain, in detail, why you like every song in your entire record collection. ...you have a really nice tape machine/pro tools/whatever rig, but still hang onto that Realistic "1/4 4-track with the semi-functioning (warble, warble, warble) motor your dad bought in '72 because "it might co...

The drums kind of vanish in the verse. I would bring down that acoustic. The doubled vocals is a neat trick, but I think I would employ the technique in the chorus or verse instead of both. I know it's often hard to be objective when mixing your own music. I often wish I could talk someone else into...

Some of my favorites are: The Grifters, High Fidelity, and Max. Cusack, in Max, plays a (Jewish) art dealer trying to get...

Everyone I know, regardless of race, gender, or style of music, has had to "back-door their way int...

Yikes! Excuse me while I go put on some socks.

Dam'n, and I was getting my hopes up.

Be sure to check Digidesign's website for compatability issues. Some friends of mine put together a PTLE-dedicated PC, went with a motherboard that wasn't supported in spite of my urgings not to do so, and they ended up with two or three months of downtime because of it. In terms of hard drive space...

it was more that the realization of perfecting the hell out of something was killing the life out of the session, and all because of non-destructive editing. it had nothing to do with Pro-Tools, because any software platform can do that, but it was just the cliche of it. It simply was not nessasry ...
