peoria is 30 miles west of bloomington, and is where my studio is. www.tonelabstudios.com anyway, the scene here is always trying to get off the ground and be influential...but struggles quite a bit. i've worked in chicago and can say that the local scene is much more down to earth here and there ar...

i bought an otari mx5050 1/2" 4-track machine recently and i'm looking for info on where to buy tape and maybe a few hints on the differences between different kinds of tape. also how many times do you folks record to each reel before it's "spent"?

i agree...it' is more about production and experimentation than buying fifty shitty mic's. abuse your mid-range; use no low's at all; set up an omni and record at louder volumes...the list goes on and on. as always, i'll say what everyone around here says, be creative and take the time to stop and l...

just one for now....part of a "barder for studio time" kinda thing. the band went way over time and offered to purchase me an additional pair of these headphones as a "tip" of sorts. i trust the folks here so i thought i'd give it a shot.

i would pay up to $75.00 for sony mdr 7506 headphones in good working order. please let me know.

i've had good fortune with this setup: measure the distance between your overheads, or front alligned stereo pair, and you room mic. take the distance in feet and multiply by 1.1 ms (speed that sound travels: 1 foot=1.1ms) . next delay your overheads by this many ms. add a decent early reflection re...

140 db is enough to kill you.....not really, but if you are able to be in the same room and actually hear the headphones on your head, your gt will be just fine. btw, i'm totally smitten with my pair of am51's (pre-alesis). how do you like the tube66 ?

if you're recording anyone besides yourself, keep in mind the enviroment surrounding the singer, maybe even for yourself. the perfromance is often directly related to the performers sub-concious comfort level.(i.e. bright light, no groove.) and of course, listen until you are happy, and it never hur...

anyone know of a very inexpensive freq. analyzer? i'd like to train my ear a little better on specific freq.'s and be able to "at a glance" identify problem freq.'s. note: i do not use a computer in my studio. ( couple of 01v's and fostex d-160) thanks!

does anyone know how this album was recorded? i love the detail and warmth, and the way everything interacts. all of the tones and signals seem to "melt" into each other.

hey... i did search the threads for an hour. i didnt find anything besides the fact that nuetral milk hotel used this machine for thier bass fuzz distortion efffect and some details about re-capping. i know i'm new to the boards... but if i've overlooked something already on this, can someone please...

i just purchased this machine (otari mx-5050 4-trk 1/2") from a radio station in canada. i've yet to use tape to mix down to in my studio. i'm wondering about sync (say submixing only drums) and about maintaining the heads and such. any other general exp. with this or similar machines would be helpf...
