I knew from the sheer volume of links provided that this was a wild goose chase and that the proof of the claim wouldn't be found in any of them. Where did you read this? Why haven't you linked to the many sources where you've read that this happens? the pdf's i posted were easily accessible source...

what are your and your audiences' expectations for the record? is it something you are trying to shop to a label? will you have distribution? how much of the investment are you trying to get back? consider what you are trying to do with the release, and to what level of standards it needs to be held...

okay, i'll address this first. Seriously, be honest with me for a second. Did you really read all of these or did you maybe, just maybe, post a bunch of crap you got from school with the hope that the volume of it might overwhelm? the purpose of the papers was to specifically cite where i came acros...

.. and the Bees (known as A Band of Bees in the US). i didn't realize this was the same band, definitely dig The Sunshine Hit Me Are any new American bands earning respect in the US? right? the bands who are doing something interesting don't have interest in commercialism, because the stigma on the...

okey dokey, didn't actually realize this was still trucking. it was indeed just hearsay that sudden shock causes high frequency loss in magnetic tape, because, well, i've never dropped a tape, much less dropped a tape i had an exact copy of, and then proceeded to run tests on both tapes. perhaps i w...

are these clicks occurring during sustains? the most clicks/pops/glitches that i had heard in people's mixes are caused by sustaining guitars. in most cases its caused from hitting the a/d or digital bussing too hard. i would make sure that you are metering your a/d, and have knowledge of how that m...

i'm editing a full length at the moment, so the schedule is flexible. slated to start tracking for the next session april 6th, which will be less flexible.

Kronos Quartet- Short Stories : got me listening to music, and exploring. Mahavishnu Orchestra- Birds of Fire : allowed me to appreciate and fall in love with the groove Naked City- s/t : reinforced the notion that anything goes, which i had just stumbled upon Carcass- Heartwork : the first record ...

whats this looking like? just re-relocated back to phila, in the process of setting up base, would love to get to know yous,,

are looking to make permanent fixes, or are you outfitting a temporary space? you can always embed bass traps (not bass absorbers, like the couch) into your walls fairly easily, also helmholtz resonators. if you have some artificial foliage, you can replace the styrofoam or fake dirt with sand. also...
