I've always had a problem with the concept of internships - i.e. not getting paid a penny for your efforts. I don't agree with this principle at all. Your attitude is positive. I commend you for that. I'm not sure what the hierarchy system is at this studio. Where I started (Trident) they rewarded k...

RWC, Thanks for your post. Some interesting stuff in there, and I understand what you're saying. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, when I started in the business I was 17 years old and very keen to learn. The concept of internship had not been thought up, so when someone got a job at the...

I guess this puts me in good stead... Im currently the unpaid assistant at a small busy studio. Been there a couple of months, and fuck I have I learned a lot. I thought I was doing pretty well with my MBox2. I go in most days. I figure that I couldn't pay for the kind of lessons and experience i g...

Jesus christ I would have loved to have been there for Ithyphallic or especially Dreaming Neon Black. I would quit my job if I had a chance to intern like that. I mixed Ithyphallic and AOTW here in Chicago. DNB was done at a studio I use in Texas (I've done 72 albums there so far since '94) where t...

Well said.

I've always loved the way tape sounds. Awesome.

Thanks so much to everyone for their replies to this thread. The situation hasn't really changed on my end. The kids are still out there in reception, drinking coffee and on their mobiles bragging about the album they're currently involved with (sessions that they haven't even set foot in). In the m...

This is exactly what I've always done. The desks back in the day only had left, right and centre routing, so there were no other choices. Channels didn't have pan pots on them back then.

I still do the same, and I think it makes for a more open, wider mix.

I will either mix down to analogue tape, or hit analogue tape during the mastering process to give an overall warmth, rather than doing it on an element by element basis.

Of course, that's when I'm not multitracking on analogue tape.

I got "Recording the Beatles" from my partner in crime. It's really something.

This is correct. The $600 upgrade will allow you to do all the drum tracks in a group, as with the TDM version.

Good points everyone. Actually, I don't want or need anyone to bring me coffee - I'll just go and get it myself. Funnily enough, it's usually when I'm out getting coffee that I run into the horde of people hanging out doing nothing.. Please understand that I'm not expecting anyone to be there helpin...

I'm young, enthusiastic, eager to learn (and i realize that i have a lot to learn), and completely available, and i cant even find an internship to save my life! I've sent my resume to all the major studios i can find online in town. Nothing. (In fact severak of their email addresses bounce back wh...

Hi everyone, I recently signed up here and I'm really enjoying reading about everyone's ideas, views, techniques etc. on recording and such. It seems like a positive place to hang out and get a feel for others' opinions on this world I've lived in for over 30 years - professional recording. I hope i...

I much prefer 88.2 to 44.1 or 48k. To me there's no comparison in the high end.
