All great advice, thanks! Basically, we're going with copious notes, and then we're posting (I know, I know) mp3s for them to comment on. It's not quite as good as having them in at the end of each mix session, but I think it will work. Now I remember what I loved about working exclusively in a DAW....

I know the answer is going to be "depends on the situation", but I was curious as to whether folks like to mix with or without the band in the room. We're in the process of doing our first mix project without the band present and we're realizing that because of our setup (lots of outboard) recall is...

Yeah...I'd definitely suggest getting the 2nd hard drive. They're cheap. I just got a 120GB 7200rpm drive for $80 (after the dreaded rebates). I also like to work on the desktop, so I just build a folder for each band's project on the audio drive and then put a shortcut to it on the desktop. Your pr...

PBR is the bestest. I've got the mini-fridge currently stocked with it. As for rockstar drinks, the bassist in my band has recently taken to getting a can of Diet Rockstar (I shit you not) before playing.

It probably doesn't matter as the panels I'll be at will run over anyhow (that's a good thing). :rofl: ...

Very Very nice. Worth the wait!
