How to write & organize album credits?

Hey folks, I'm working through the last bit of details on my album artwork and credits and I was wondering if there were some resources/advice that could assist in writing & organizing album credits? Other than looking at various albums in my music collection for reference, I'm wondering if there ar...

Huh, are there different versions of "hail to the thief"?, 'cause mine has no DRM sound glitchiness. Imported into Itunes with no problems at all.... Woah! Really? Each track imported flawlessly? ..I ask this only cause there was something tracked onto the surface of my disc that throws off the las...

I'm a Radiohead fan like the rest of them, BUT the copy/rip-protection they put on Hail To The Thief (CD) just really pissed me off. I bought the CD to have for my collection, but when it came time to rip the AAC files into iTunes, it came out garbled to shit, with skips, pops and stuff. I tried it ...

ahhh

I love all the mechanical equipment used in the process.
I saw an old record lathe the other day, going through restoration, and it had to be one of the MOST complex things I've seen awhile, leather belts and all...

Have I listened to these songs so much that I'm going nutz? BTW, this was my final conclusion. I tried reducing the level 1 dB before encoding and it didn't really make it sound drastically better nor did it resolve my issues. The distortion had mostly to do with the content (drums and bass) in com...

Have had a Firepod for over a year, Mac and PC use w/Cubase, good sound, no major issues but I'm not a big fanboy either... it's ok I guess.

If you can wait a few weeks, the Mackie 1200f should be out soon. That's likely to be the successor to my Firepod if/when it comes out.

hey guys, I'm going through a similar disheartening dilemma. My album is back from mastering at a very prominent mastering facility here in SF and I am very pleased with the CD. We worked on it quite abit to get some separation in the low end and reduce the transients. It transfers great being playe...

That sounds like a "let the mastering engineer fix my shit" approach. . Nope. Just a "based upon my experience" approach. For what it's worth, Linus did indicate his willingness to hear any ideas and that he was going to bang his head against the wall. Let's try to keep the suggestions optimistic a...

Without knowing the frequency response of your mix/monitor position in both spaces, it's gonna be really hard to cite a specific issue that is leading to this disconnect. The difference is quite likely a combination of the space and the monitors you are using (lest we not overlook the specific conte...

I have an older Yamaha 01V that I use for live shows. It handles all the recall stuff - levels, EQ's, monitor sends, gains, etc. Downside is it's a bit large and probably too expensive for what you are looking for...maybe?

Assuming you have experience recording your kit, I would spent most of my time working on mic placement and tuning the heads. Single hits are good to ring the system out and see if everything is tightened down. They are also quick to go through at first and then repeat at the end of the session, aft...
