, if I understand you correctly the input gain/trim should be set at 0 to avoid further noise being introduced.
Ahh, sorry, didn't see that you've already been suggested this.

Re: Very basic question regarding Input gain & Fader while mixing

Hi everyone, This is a bit of a simpleton question but what's good practice for balancing levels coming in from tape to a mixer during playback and mixing. I've never approached this in anything like a coherent manner. Say I've got 8 tracks comign in with various levels am I setting my gain on each...

Re: fear for fingers

I'm honestly surprised that I still have all my fingers! Very accident prone. My wife is super safety person so whenever she catches me not using proper PPE I get lectured. I'm also not allowed to use the chain saw, hedge trimmer or be on any ladder taller than 5 ft when she's not home. We take a st...

Looks great! And that still-unused stack of drywall sheets says that you'll either end up dead or looking like a bodybuilder. Why not both? My wife just started a new job as a carpenter's apprentice. Unfortunately, her current job site also required her to learn how to hang drywall over the last tw...

Re: Mono Auratone - who knew??

I might have been reading / skimming too quick, but I. Don’t see you mentioning what you’re powering the mono auratone with. Super curious. On an adjacent note, during a recent relocation and temporary downsizing of my home studio, lucked into a mint pair of NS-10’s and have been running them off o...

It sounds like you're pressing too hard with the pencil, and it's making ruts in the sessions underneath.
Ha!

Re: The bottom of the snare

:lol: all y'all! That pic reminds me of seeing Iron Maiden circa 1980. Top o' th' page to ya's! You saw Maiden in 1980??? Holy Shit! What size of venue? Where? I'm embarrassed to say I've never seen Maiden or Priest. WTF is wrong with me? My wife has seen both a few times. !980, opening for, I thin...

Re: Getting motivated on your own music recording projects.

Part of the reason is I know half of what I create will be asked to take out or turned way down. I must say that I'm sort of the guy who chops a lot of other's peoples' stuff out of a song. So the person I end up doing the most with knows this, has complained about it sometimes... but now they just...

I only have one snare, which I bought for my wife back when she wanted to play drums. I take it to tracking sessions with me just in case. 14" brass Yamaha. IMG_0175.JPG keep that one for sure I still haven't had a chance to record it and we've had it for at least 7 years! It sounds amazing! Every ...
