Doesn't matter I suppose. It's rediculous whatever it is. And I love it.
is it the sound from galaga when you'd get the two ships and one would blow up?

you might not be seeing 170V on the reed bar because your meter might not have the proper impedance to see that voltage. Its probably there - if you unplug it and replug it in and it makes a huge loud snap in the audio the voltage is there! the 170v is definitely not there... I have the full schema...

semantics. the records are certainly brick-wall limited. Well, if you really want to get into semantics, brick-wall limiting is far from defining mastering. At some point, a master copy was assembled to go to duplication with the correct spacing, program order, and desired sonics... amen...can i ge...

Recording an A Capella group

let me preface this by saying i've never attempted this before... if you have a multi-pattern mic you might want to throw it in omni and position the singers around it based upon the parts they sing and in relational distance to the mic...for solos you could have the soloist move closer and then ste...

re: buying an imac g5 vs imac intel

i would stay away from ever buying anything "new" from apple during the first quarter of the year. my logic being that they are unveiling their latest and greatest. you'll buy a new imac and then two weeks after it ships they'll be offering twice the amount of computing power for the same price. not...

re: hearing new music

i know you are specifically interested in web stations, etc...but... i have run across so many great bands/albums just by doing a little "biblographic research" as it were...for example, say you really like the way a certain band's recording sounded. find out who engineered it or mixed it or produce...

mixer inserts as direct outs and levels...?

Let me preface this post by stating that I know this has been discussed many times but I spent the last 45 minutes searching the archives and failed to find an answer to the following questions. Next weekend I am recording a band in their space and using their board. Today we did some pre-production...
