We're looking to sell/ trade our Chandlers for a great stereo tube pre. They are wonderful units but haven't gotten as much use out of them and would like to trade up. TG Channel Abbey Road edition with PSU: $2000 Germanium Pre/DI without PSU: $850 Willing to trade one or both units for an awesome s...

I made a funny*. I do think it's silly though. "Clip." To me, that means something completely different (and bad) in the DAW world. What would be wrong with "Region Gain?" Anyway. *not very I think the terminology there is from Avid's efforts to switch to terms found in the film realm. I saw on the...

Was chilling at a studio doing a live session the other week, the op put a U47 about 6 inches in front of the kick. I would have never thought to do that. When I saw him putting it there, the price tag of something breaking ran through my head. But hey, he knew what he was doing; it sounded absolute...

I started posting on CL (as well as hunting on freelance sites, etc) a couple months ago looking for side work. CL has paid off with one client so far. Cool guy doing VO's for auctions and stuff. Only pays a little, but he comes around a couple times a month. But yeah, I wouldn't stake my livelihood...

Working audio on a kids DvD series at the moment.

Almost done with this episode so freelancing when I can find work.

Tempted to pick up a paper route since I don't have anything scheduled in the studio until the beginning of July.. plus I want a motorcycle before the end of summer...

If I lived near new jersey....

nobody, really wrote:why is it always the bass player that's the recording geek?

because they never have girlfriends, so they have time to learn some recording stuff.

what does that say about the actual recording engineer?

I really need to start putting money aside for "cool stuff for sale on the forums"

We were doing gang vocals a few weeks ago. A couple of us would get in front of the mic and yell "come and save me"

well, there was a take or two with me yelling, like an angry old man "Get off my lawn"
we got a laugh out of that.

Once the vocalist started doing a song spoken word in a "British" accent. We did the entire song that way as an "Alternate version"

fun stuff.

I think the reasoning behind flooding the whole floor was that we are doing a bit of full body stuff on it, dancing, multiple people, etc. We wanted the whole thing as even as possible. Our problem is that we've yet to find a solid lighting guy, this would help, not to mention cut down how long it t...

Thanks Gregg, I'll have to try that phase trick. Done a lot of room tone to place between cuts, etc. A little bit of dead air etc. Sadly enough, the lights are there for a little while longer. There's not much ventilation so bringing in a bunch of massive halogen studio lights will turn the place in...

So, here's the story. Got a small green screen studio up and running. We're starting a children's DvD series. In an attempt for lighting we've wired up a ton of mini florescent lights. Red flag I know. The electrical work was already done when I started, so I'm not all sure whats going on, but I bel...

I keep hearing that western digital is pretty darned reliable, a lot of friends prefer them to Seagate or lacie. I would almost agree with them except my external WD (1 tb) started acting up just after a year after I bought it. It still works but it acts funny. Although we have 2 newer WDs at work a...

I'm a big proponent of the 'Sit down with them, be truthful, respectful and frank' method. Sit down with the trouble person, explain the role you are trying to play, aka, the role you are getting paid to do(and not them) and that while their opinion is valued, you may and do have different methods f...
