Mike, First, great website! You have some really nice DIY projects on there. Thank you for taking the time to post those. I was reading your post and I had two thoughts. I'm not going to call them "definitive" suggestions, but rather just some ideas you may want to try. They are more instinct than a...

I saw this the other day and laughed. Just a wee bit of qualifications needed for the gig.

It's scary to think but I think in NYC you just might find somebody to fill the position.

I actually just missed getting a "free" piano today. I had a tuner scheduled to look at it with me and the guy selling it called me a half hour before my appoinment and told me he gave it to somebody else. URGH!! :evil: Here's what I learned in my little adventure. Try it out before buying. Bring a ...

If you buy one right now, two things could, and probably will happen, in the not so distant future: 1) Apple will upgrade their operating system and you will be stuck having to purchase the new one for $129 or staying with a newly outdated computer.

It's already been mentioned, but what made the biggest difference in the r...

Here's a couple of points I've learned from those dates: 1) Going along with Chris, learn where the null points are and set up the musicians accordingly. Moving an instrument a fe...

For classical, try here: www.lbrownrecording.com

I used to work with the chief engineer there and he really knows his stuff for classical piano recordings. PM me if you want more info.

"control+ up/down" is a Mac key command.

There's a keyboard shortcut, "Control + Up Arrow/Down Arrow" that changes track height individually. What you mentioned with tracks changing height as they move is exactly what happens.

Tech Tool hasn't let me down yet.

There's a really good forum on www.macgurus.com that has some very techy, but very informative posts.

Agreed, though it's a live concert recording and it sounds like only the direct was used. Concert recordings can be tricky to judge sound-wise because you never know what was going on backstage between what the engineer wanted to do and what the producers allowed him/her to do.

Tell me if this one word title doesn't get you going:
