Re: Snares - what’s everyone using nowadays?

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 ...

Unless you're extremely experienced (or jaded), you could try and see it as an opportunity to try new technical approaches, without the pressure to justify the time to paying clients.
This is a great suggestion!

Re: Getting motivated on your own music recording projects.

Interested in what other say. But your idea is pretty cool one! very cool. I would love to attempt something similar just to get moving. I'm way behind on key/synth parts for the new blackQueen record. Pete and I have been in a rut getting it done for the last three years. Part of the reason is I kn...

Re: New Pro Tools, who dis? "FREEZE"

I also just want to say that I hate "dark mode" and turn that off first thing (then it's good unless I'm asked by Avid support to clear prefs - which is the first thing they ask you to do whether it is relevant or not). Also, probably because I'm using track coloring (which I'm guessing maybe you h...

Re: Channel Strip Plugins

Another really good one if you have an Apollo is the UAD Century Tube channel strip. It has a mic pre, a subtle EQ and an opto compressor. I've been using that lately at home for vocals and acoustic instruments. That opto strip is really good, I’ve used that for some thin vocals and it’s nice. That...

Re: New Pro Tools, who dis? "FREEZE"

I really need to lose the buss numbers and go into the I/O set up and just give the buss routing "names" so it's easier to organize.

Screen grab..

Drum Buss, then Drum Parallel buss, then Drum Distortion buss, then ambience and reverb returns. All are AUX tracks.

Re: New Pro Tools, who dis? "FREEZE"

I love logic and it's definitely better at some things for sure, but the buss situation ain't one of them. I finally built myself a nice mixing template to use as a starting point and that was when I really figured out how like you just can't do certain things once you've committed. Hey on that, I ...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....

I don't know if plugins count as "new gear" but I gotta say that the Kazrog True Iron and True Dynamics plugs are fucking tasty. I've still not messed with "HEAT" but i've been throwing True Iron on individual tracks as well as busses, and really like the subtleness. I've also been stacking instanc...

Re: New Pro Tools, who dis? "FREEZE"

Yeah, I don't do subscription anything, so I am not sure if I'll end up doping a perpetual license or what. What is the cost of the support thing for a year? Honestly, other than some just plain stupid stuff, like not being able to arrow up and down between tracks and having to create a group every...

Damn. Definitely was an influence on me to pick up a guitar, and that was in the late 80's!

so if you had a collection of these, and the world was ending I suppose you could chew on these for awhile?
