Still no links to any bands with posted tour dates.
Still no names of any artists or venues.

Lies.

But they're sooooo entertaining..... or not....

Logic automatically down converts to any playback device.

It's one of the very few cool features of Logic, which is documented so poorly, no one really knows it can do so.

Mixed 4 songs for these "music group", agreed to $45 an hour, mixes approved, delivered, including live tracks (no vocal) and now I'm not getting responses from them. Billed $1200, and actually charged $1000 (discount). We didn't have a contract (stupid me). Am I totally screwed? Is there anything ...

My tan.

Now, seriously... helping a friend get his PT rig up to version 8.

Then, to the circus with my kids and wife.

Yay!

I hear it thru my monitors pretty frequently but it never gets printed - if I wanted to record this sound, what would be the best way? Now that is a silly question. You put a live speaker in the room, and place the cellphone on top of it. Mic that up. Oh, don't feed the mic to that speaker, unless ...

Okay, I'll bite. I've been in the market for a cheap tube mic. However, I can't figure out how/where to purchase the TNC ACM1200. I google it, get "recordinghacks," but... I'm probably being stupid... It was a group buy over at PSW recording forums. I own a pair of these, and will not be selling th...

I don't mean any disrespect, but I don't use my wife, I use an accountant for my taxes.

He finds ways only Gurus can find, through the quagmire we call the US tax system.

After reading the last 4 paqes of gargle... Maybe we all just need a little time to play an instrument, and try to get more peaceful. Remember this : Money is a human invention. Just like time. If you choose, you can momentarily ignore one or both, and be in the now. That takes some commitment, sinc...

I think if you have the Mercury Bundle, then it becomes worth it. They give you any new plug-ins they make, and free updates for operating systems / DAW upgrades, as long as you keep paying 200 / year. If you actually make a living from audio engineering, the WUP is 100% deductible as a business exp...

You can use an audio object called "Audio Input Object" Read all about it in the Environment section of the manual. If you create a new Audio Input object and put a plugin there, and then record into a normal channel set to receive from that input objects channel (say ch1) then any plugin you have t...

i have my own room, and usually mix OTB. but if i want another crack at a mix the next day - no worries. i just wonder about how a freelancer deals with this OTB scenario if they're renting another room, and other freelancing specific dynamics like it. If I know the mixes I'm working on are going t...

Just wanted to share some long-term vision here that leans toward the new business model for studios: Development Deals 1. Booking for bands. Sick of getting calls from bands with no money? Feel confident they are a good 'unit'? Book them. I've now got a database of over 700 clubs in the midwest an...

+1 agreed w/noeqplease and MoreSpaceEcho - the key thing to get right (or wrong) is getting the lead vocal in a good and proportionate relationship for both dynamic levels of the song. In any case, it seems to me that most listeners just can't deal with too much *actual* volume dynamic. If a listen...

Hello, Imaginary Internet Friends! I'm nearing the mix stage for a project, and as I'm listening to roughs, I find myself cranking one song at the beginning, only to run for the dial when it gets to the end. At points, the song is simply gentle acoustic and soft singing. At the end, there's full ba...
