Yeah, I'm already in touch with them. Just covering all my bases. Thanks!

I need to find a studio in the Camden neighborhood of London. Mainly for tracking a full band so nice live room, analog console, nice amp/instrument collection would be a big plus. Will be doing some mixing as well so it should have a real control room, with some good outboard. I would really like i...

What systems do you use to mark your cables and/or gear to prevent theft?

Links helpful. Thanks.

There are no claims on anything recorded there. No publishing, no master rights, nothing. Bands walk with their hard drives. The thing is that every band gets one day - 8 hours. This might easily lead to a lot of indie bands wandering around Williamsburg with projects they need to finish... ... some...

Specifically for outboard and non-automated analog consoles - is anybody going "paperless" by just using a digital camera? If so, how does that work and how easy is it to do recalls from? What is your technique?

Full time Assistant Engineer needed for large recording studio currently being built in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. This is going to be a unique opportunity in what will be a very busy, creative environment. Sessions will be nearly 100% album-oriented, (no advertising or film work). Initial duties will ...

One pair of matching NS10s with the Yamaha P2150 amp that I used to use them with. All in working order last time I used them (been in storage for a few years now). The speakers look their age but are in good condition. Drivers probably don't even have much wear on them as we used to keep a good sto...

Doors, glass, etc. preferably in the northeast.

I was trying to wrangle some 3-panel sliding glass doors from Clinton but couldn't pull it together in time, before they demo'd.

I thought that I might have a failed power supply for a small consumer item at home so I tested it with my multi-meter. It's labelled as having an output of 6 volts DC but on the meter it was putting out 11.8. I decided to put a few more to the meter (like most of us, I've got a drawer full of the t...

Regarding Lion's advice on lots of mics. If you're going to go this route, be sure that you take a LOT of time placing one good mic (like an 87). While I love options too, and have used this approach, I nearly always end up using that one good mic pretty much solo. You've got to watch out for phasin...

What can one expect to pay for a set of large, (say, 7x8') sheets of studio glass for the control room? At this size, I would imagine that it's got to be at least 1/2"? Would glass this size automatically be laminated? How important is (and what's the price impact on) mixing thickness, like having t...

I need a designer for a brand new build in Brooklyn. I'm trying to get Jim Falconer involved but he's now based in Chicago and it's not clear if he can do the whole project. So who are the Tony Bonjiovis of our new millennium? I consider the design of an accurate control room and sweet live room to ...

I just realized that the screenshot I posted was not actually my mix (I did a remix), it was from the original, album mix. Don't want to take credit that's not mine. I should dig out the remix session and post that for comparison.

This is from a remix I did years ago, but I recently opened it actually to get some screengrabs for a presentation I was doing to some "non-music business" folks. It's the Usher song, "Yeah" and I've put up the full-res version, with mixer window too, here: http://pix.soundwag.com/temp/yeah-screengr...

Is phantom power the only reason NOT to do this? I've got a Digi 002R whose mic inputs I hardly ever use. When I do, it's never with a condenser. It would be nice if I could bring them up on some of the unused points of my Bittree patchbay. The switches for 48v are on the back and I could just leave...
