vvv I and a few other business owners that were affected by the fire are most definitely looking into it. As far as printing receipts... I'll look at my ebay history or amazon. Some of the stuff is pretty old and proof of purchase is long gone. Or stuff I did trades or bought in cash from Craigslist...

What about stuff like ribbon mics or condensers? I didn't have Neumanns of Royers but I didnt have chinese garbage either. I've invested a lot. Its hard to say but it's been over a decade of saving from low paying jobs and investing back in. I never got a loan or anything like that, just hard work (...

Thanks for the compliment on the recording! Yea can you tell I've been inspired by Steve Albini? Tony Visconti work with Bowie, T-Rex, Iggy Pop was amazing too. I love Heroes. I can totally hear what your saying, Billy Braggs at 45rpm when it should be 33 1/3 haha. It was a fun short session. Great ...

There was a fire last night. I posted about it here . but before that I was calibrating the monitors. I got it sounding pretty good except the was a null between 400-550hz.. I still had the clouds to hand and a few more bass traps and even some Auralex foam thingys if needed. Now we'll see if I can ...

Smoke damage from fire

So yesterday the building connected to mine caught fire. It was huge and my place completely filled with smoke for about 3 hours. It was so thick I couldn't see or breath as I tried to run in and save more poor cat with in the first 5 min or so of the fire starting. Right now my place is condemned u...

Ok cool so clouds it is! Now I gotta figure where the drums sound best... I found an old door in the trash the other day, that I thought about grabbing and building a gobo out of it. Covering each side with fiberglass or some of that Auralux foam shit that was gifted to me by a buddy. Any other sugg...

On my Otari MX5050 I kept the reels just sitting on the spindle thing (reel shaft) and one day it just snapped off! IT was a bummer because its been rather difficult to find that part.

Should I hang clouds in a room with tall ceilings?

I just moved into a new spot and it is beautiful. Hard wood floors, brick walls, wood ceiling. The natural reverb in there is great. Its the first place I've had with tall ceilings. I'm pretty excited! So my question is, with a place that has tall ceilings (it's about 12-15ft tall) do I need/would y...
