this is just so weird! i was talking to a dude at work the other day and he's telling me about this band the mutants. he called them the latin velvet underground. so i finally got a chance to look up some info on them - literally 5 minutes ago. then i come here to see what's going on, and WHAT THE H...

wow - there's a club!? i just got my 388 a month ago, and i've already recorded a ton of stuff on it. likely story as the rest - been doing digital for years (and years....) and this has opened me up sooooo much. mixing without looking at a computer screen?!!! why did i EVER do that. the low end is ...

hey all - so, for years i've been mostly working digital and when it comes time to fix the phase on certain things (like a bass di + mic setup, or one or two drum micsout of phase with the overheads, etc.) it's always been a cinch to hit the "phase reverse" button on the eq plugin. but i've been mov...

thanks guys, the home remedies were cool, and the ones i haven't already tried, i will (except the onions - sorry dude, but one of them makes me puke, blech). but yeah, i was looking more along the lines of what shawn said with the reference cd's. that's a good one. i did some work today using them,...

hello all, here's a question i've been meaning to ask for a long time - how do you guys deal with mixing and recording when you have a cold? i know that taking a couple days off is a good idea, but sometimes due to schedules and deadlines, you just can't. but working with a cold COULD hurt the recor...

hi all. been awhile. so i'm currently working on a cartoon soundtrack - lot's of fun and quite a different recording experience. the recording (foley, voice overs, music, etc.) is all done, it's now time to mix. my question is, if anyone knows: what frequency range is accentuated or more pronounced ...

actually, i found outwhat it is - some kinda virus that crept in while i was doing a 'windows update'. i fixed it and all's well. thanks.

at this point i'm incredibly curious - is anyone else having problems signing on to hotmail (or even msn.com for that matter) for the past 24 hours? is it just me (which would suck, cuz then i have to fix something) or is it a big problem? try veiwing the page www.hotmail.com - see what happens.... ...

backing vox can be lots of fun - i try everything and anything. triple, quadruple and quintuple (or whatever) tracking is always fun. especially when you have more than one vocalist on each track, different mics, mic positions and eq's, etc.. you can use octaves for different backup harmonies, so on...

i saw a band similar to that (or maybe it was them) on "sessions on W 54th" on PBS. they were a bluegrass band, playing around one mic - basically shuffling around each other coinsiding with the solos/duos. i was one of the best mixed songs i've heard all year. i give you props for going for this, w...

you guys are the best - i will look for those "ear planes" and get some nasal spray...i'm gonna keep a bottle of water handy too so i have something to help me swallow. i really hope it doesn't hurt so much - it really is very scary when you think yr ear is gonna explode.
thanks again,
jimbo

keep in mind it also has to do with how yr playing it too - felt picks are good (if you can find em - i can't), but try a different attack with yr picking hand. or try finger picking.

hi all - so sandwiched between two very important recording gigs is a trip to europe in about a week. my usual experience with airplanes is very severe ear discomfort - last time i went to the midwest, i felt like my ear was gonna literally explode on the landing and i'd never hear again - i'm talki...

this is my last post on this subject, cuz i don't wanna beat a dead horse. i'm not arguing anything that soundguy (or anyone else) has been saying - i'm just trying to offer up another way to look at things that doesn't include the way everything is USUALLY done. if you only offer someone ONE option...
