thanks for the response and words of encouragement eh91311. well, the good news is i am tracking another project this weekend. back on my horse so to speak. i'm gonna forge ahead.

thanks adam. yes, i think we could have done some re-tracking of a few parts, and fine tuned things further for a decent recording. they really did accomplish a lot for just 20 hours of basic tracking time.

a little detachment would soften the blow i suppose. i cant help but feel connected to a project, and want to see it through to completion. there is something satisfying about that kind of accomplishment, but many hands can make light work i suppose. i don't really record often enough these days to ...

thanks for the encouragement nick. i am friends with the guy who will be mixing it, so maybe i'll ask him for some input on how i can improve things at least on the recording side. he is actually the guy who helped me put together my first d.a.w. setup back in 1995, and is super talented.

well, that would be a positive way of looking at it.

i agreed to do the mixing for free because i knew they would not be able to afford the amount of time i would put into it. we actually worked out a trade for it. they gave me a chihuahua for my daughter in exchange for the mixing. the dog is sweet, and my kid is stoked, so i figured that was cool. i...

boid: i had been communicating with them through email. we had talked about getting everyone together to work on the mixing as a group, and doing any additional overdubs and fixes they felt necessary. then the next email i got was asking for the files. i was so bummed/surprised i just dropped off th...

i can't speak for the ath-m50's but about seven years ago i bought five pairs of ath m30's for my home studio because they were on sale, and i wanted the band i was working with to all be listening on the same set of cans. they are all still working great. very durable. they have survived countless ...

that is a bummer. well, these ladies did pay me for the time spent tracking, so i have no complaints there. i did not plan to charge them for the time spent mixing so nothing lost, other than the time i did spend rough mixing, and cleaning up their tracks. still, i can't help but feel invested in th...

you're right, i guess i am not ok with it. i just wish i could have got a chance to work on these songs more. a rough mix is, well... rough. i just handed them the hard drive yesterday, and have been dwelling on it all day... i appreciate the input, and the listen. cheers.

i bought my first four track back in 1983, and have been recording projects for myself and friends ever since. recently i did a demo recording for a group of friends here in eureka. we recorded 15 songs in two nights. kind of quick and dirty. i made a rough mix of each song for them from the takes t...

issue #86 is awesome (as all of them are), and i am totally digging playing with the demo version of presonus' studio one (2) that andy hong recommended checking out in his geeking with gear column. holy sh#*t! this thing is cool! instantly recognized my inputs, and tranzport controller. after about...
