The AT3035 is a geat LDC for the price. Lists around $200, but I recently got one new on Ebay for $140.

I mixed a song for a client a few weeks ago, and given a protein bar and a piece of gum in return. Of course the client was my friend, and it was done at the studio where I was interning. Other than that, I've been working for free on small projects.

I like the Green Album for the same reason I like the first two - the songs are catchy and just an all-around fun CD to listen to, especially in the car. There's two or three songs I like from Maladroit even though the guitar and keyboards sound like crap. It all fell apart after the Green Album whe...

I just finished the book, by Mark Lewisohn, and was amazed at how many of today's engineering and record production techniques originated from Beatles sessions. The sections of the White Album and Sgt Pepper, with all the tape loops, session players, sound effects, miking techniques, etc, were proba...

I was wondering if anyone has any more opinions, this time on the Fostex MR-HD? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fostex-MR8HD-8Track-Digital-Recorder-with-40GB-Hard-Drive?sku=240341 This one has four inputs, which is a huge plus, and can be found new on ebay for around $350. Also, any comments...

I have a Radioshack 33-3038 dynamic I bought for $20. I just wanted something to record vox and electric guitar with in my bedroom. It actually sounds half decent on the distorted channel of my Fender amp.

Thanks for all the input so far. I'll take all this into consideration before buying anything. Keep the opinions coming...

Personally I think the Audix D4 is a great kick drum mic that's in your price range. To me it sounds alot heavier and fuller than the D112. I really like the Rode NT-1A on vox, acoustic instruments, and for ambient sound. The AT 4050 is another excellent multi-purpose mic, although I'm not sure how ...

My friend and are are thinking about buying a Tascam DP-01FX digital 8-track to build a small home studio for recording demos. I've been researching the console and it looks like a good deal. I was wondering if anyone else has any opinions on it? The info on it can be found here: http://www.musician...

I'm definately interested in the intern position, but may not be able to do it until the end of summer. I live in Binghamton NY right now, and I'm working to save up some money so I can move to a place like Brooklyn. I can send you my resume in the meantime, in case there's anything open in a few mo...

Hello all,

I am looking to get a job in a recording studio and could use any help I can get. Currently, I live in upstate NY but am willing to relocate. I am very skilled with Pro Tools, and have experience with other software, live sound equipment, and some analog gear.
