Re: awesome crazy panning on songs.

his name is alive is great - really like library girl, had never heard it before.

emtec sm900 LPR35 1/2"x 3,600" on a 10.5" ree

does anyone know if you have to readjust tension settings to run these long playing reels. tapeworks texas is out of all other 1/2" and has a pretty good deal on these things. the tape is thinner, which is how they get a longer play on the same size reel. 1 mil as opposed to the standard 1.5 mil (i ...

Even if quanteg...

Re: why do I suck at recording drums?

nice song, good work overall. As far as the snare sound goes - are you tracking the instruments together, and in what kind of room. the snare may be getting lost because of phasing issues.

Re: What Did You Work On Today? 12-9-04

getting ready to do my first mobile recording gig for a band (Charles, Dead of Alive) here in burlington, VT. Really excited about it; they play a great set and don't have much yet in the way of recordings. Been hashing out the plan for the last few days and think I have everything ready to roll. Go...

I am bouncing to disk and then importing back into soundbites and exporting as an aiff file. Everything sounds fine in the mix and all. I import that file int...
