i have to say this is some of the worst mixing i have ever heard. i can't listen to it.

i'm hoping that they "leaked" a really bad mix to make people buy the album which i planned on doing but if this is the way its going to sound i don't think i can bring myself to listen to it.

big fan of those moments too... i.e. the horrible edits between the movements my favorite david bowie suite: sweet things/candidate/sweet things reprise.... also: i swear to god there is a guitar solo that goes all the way throughout the smashing pumpkins song mayonaisse... and multiple ebow tracks ...

oh yeah... and sorry i kind of didn't show last time... i was actually there with garret, i wasn't going to go due to broke-ness/work but the event i was supposed to work got cancelled and then my one studio-partner prez told me he'd buy me in/a beer... i tried to figure out who the tape oppers were...

lets get together this week.

and also... we're gonna have a party in the machine age on the 17th... some hiphop/reggae/dance djs and alcohol...

Yinzers Unite. I'm one of the owners of the Machine Age, an analog recording studio in in the North Oakland/Bloomfield/Hill District/Polish Hill area (right next to the bloomfield bridge on the Sugar top side)... Come check it out... i mean.. i know you'd rather do it totally diy but... our room rea...

i'm in for two and am number:

i'd love to have 30 ribbon mics.. but i can't afford that. didn't want any confusion.

i'm in. 30.

yeah... cal'd in room with same tape, 15 ips... it was the first session i did with the machine too, first on tape actually.. so i'm thinking it's more of a "i need to get gooder with tape" kind of situation than a setup issue... also though i was wondering if maybe i could just recal the machine wi...

the pre is kind of noisy... it's mostly that there seems to still be a bit of tape noise, plus i want to check out how things sound extremely saturated... i'm really new to tape... it's a little more troublesome on vocals actually... i can never seem to boost vocal levels high enough to get rid of h...

any hints about getting heavier levels to tape? i used an rca 77dx as an overhead the otherday and the pre's in my trident series 65 just didn't seem to be able to get the mic hot enough without clipping to get the tape machine needle above -3 or -4 with peaks around +1.... is it maybe just not enou...

we've had some bad power problems at my studio and i think a sugre might have destroyed something in the power supply to my neumann M147... when the power supply is connected to the console there is really loud buzz that decreases slightly when the mic is attached to the p/s... where can i send the ...

the Aislers set."how i learned to write backwards" it's one of those records that the sound of it was one of the main things that got me into it... very big dark chamber wall of sound kind of thing... except it's no RCA studios chamber more like a big garage that's reverby in just an ok way.. like a...

i don't know a tech that could make an auto wah, but i might be able to make him a tape echo back pack...????

on ray charles "Halleleujah i love her so" the "before i count from one to four i can hear her (bap bap bap bap) on my door" !!!!!

RIP ray.
too bad i don't know who drummed that.

yeah.... i guess that's really what i meant by the question, how much can you underestimate your need for a couple really great mic chains... and i guess as a side question, what do you think is really the minimal fully pro setup... i mean 3 great mics/pres, what kind of pres, would you want all rea...
