This has all helped so much. #1 on my list is unfortunately a piece of gear: piano casters. They're not cheap but it's probably the only way I'll be able to move it into the middle of the room easily enough. I found a set that only raises the piano 3/4" and I think I can work with that extra pedal h...

Thanks for all the great advice so far. I have a lot to think about here. Before attempting to move the piano, I am going to see if I can get a fun/interesting acceptable sound. I'm in no rush, so some oiling, checking mechanicals etc. and then some mic movement. No time like the present to learn mo...

Minimizing upright piano noises.
I'm trying to record my upright piano. I have two mics in XY with the top cover open (like you'd open your car's bonnet - propped up.) The sound is generally very pleasing; that is after fiddling with placement for almost an hour. However, I do get some extraneous sounds. The sustain pedal spring "c...

Dealing with artists while mixing on your monitors
When I got my first set of monitors I though, wow these sound a lot different than any other speaker I've ever heard. But after a very short period of time my mixes were coming out miles ahead (more often than not) of what they were prior to the acquisition thereof when I was using a consumer 2.1 sy...

Re: API 312 and Fatheads/Ribbons
API 3124s or A2Ds? Plenty of gain for most ribbons/dynamics. I can't imagine it's any different for the 512c.antonlamont45 wrote:Will the 312 provide enough gain for a Fathead on a quiet singer, do you think? Or how about other ribbons? Does it match well gain wise or is it not enough? Very curious...

I clicked on this, expecting all kinds of immaturity. I was disappointed. Disappointed because the posts didn't mention the effects based on length or width of the hard disk? Or perhaps the wonderful transition from a floppy culture to a hard one? Or maybe even more exciting is opening up to a comp...

Generally, as long as you assign an output to a channel or bus in Logic 8, it will create the necessary channel strip for that output for you once something has been assigned to it. It cuts down clutter that way. The outputs themselves should all be accessible to you in the menus and should all be a...

And, if I may be so bold, in general a hard drive with a higher density of data per platter (since there are usually several spinning platers inside a hard disk) will actually be able to access information more quickly since the heads don't have to move as much (provided you maintain your disk to so...
