Did you win the lottery or receive an inheritance? :shock: yes, actually. the second one. not quite enough for a complete studio, though, which is why i will be proceeding so cautiously. honkyjonk, i've thought about going RADAR instead, but i don't know too much about the technology, and it looks ...

i'm in the process of treating the room right now. i figured i might as well start out with a good sounding room. i haven't done anything with the mixing space yet, but i'll be doing research. thanks for the advice.

this will be mostly a studio for myself, but i will probably try my hand at producing some local bands and things. you can listen to the music on my myspace to see what my first album sounded like, although i'm not too sure how much that will tell you. i will be recording a martin 00-15, upright pia...

duly edited. i don't have any of this so far. when i said "this is what i have so far" i meant that this is the full list of things i plan on purchasing. sorry for the confusion.

I'm going to be buying gear little by little, probably over the next three years or so. I'm striving for something kind of spartan, but that will sound nice. I have a good space set up. Aside from basic things like cables, stands, headphones, et cetera, this is what I have on my to-get list so far: ...

This is a great sounding album. Anyone know what kind of equipment Hayden records on? All I know is he has a home studio that he does all of his stuff on up in Manitoba or BC or someplace like that.

It is a fascinating sound that evokes 'old-timey' vibes but is really something entirely unique, and I think this is what really gives it a timeless quality which I think will allow this music to hold up and sound as relevant now as it will decades from now. yeah, it's completely revisionist, but i...

discuss, if you are so inclined! it took me a while to warm up to how his records sound, but i'm really digging post-war at the moment, and his earlier ones too. there's something very constant in the production--is it some sort of short, panned delay? i don't know. but i'd like to find out.

can't say i like this whole album. but does anyone want to guess what sort of delay they're using on his voice? especially on the title track. it sounds nice, i think.

this question plagues me. pro tools' d-verb just isn't cutting it. i've done some pretty good reamping with some speakers i bought recently, but i need something that sounds like a plate reverb! or at least sounds bigger than the small room i use for reamping. any suggestions?

i see where you're coming from. but the problem i've always had with otc, as much as i love some of their stuff, was that they never seemed to know where to draw the line--they just threw track after track onto every song they did. i like a little bit of restraint sometimes. the thing that does it f...

anyone know anything about this stuff? it was designed for children. i heard it on the langley schools music project album. pretty incredible. i want some.

can any of you guys hear exactly what effects they're using on vocals and elsewhere? i'm intrigued. i do kind of agree about there being too much distance mic-ing, but i'm still interested in knowing more about how they got the sounds on yellow house.

i think the best musical example of impressionism, if you want to really get into specifics, is "cathedrale engloutie," out of debussy's prelude book 1, no. 10. some of ravel's stuff that people equate with impressionism--his string quartets, for example--don't seem languid or fluid enough to me. th...

i don't think there are any hardware limits on logic. i could be totally wrong though.
