I've been looking for something exactly like this, great stuff.

I think it's a little strange that they give Kelley Stoltz a positive write-up yet all of their reviews have given him an absolute kicking. I've never even heard this man's music but that seems an odd stance even compared to something as perverse as NME. Oh, and Amoeba. Great record shop. Don't get ...

I heard some I/O peripherals that worked with the 3G/3GS don't work with the iPhone 4, does anyone have any first-hand experience of this?

Hobbyist Recording Geek's Low Budget Top Ten Mine is also low budget for the most part. Super-nice stuff usually bought with band money: 1. Universal Audio 610 Solo - The best thing for recording we've ever bought. Sounds great and distorting it can sometime work very nicely. Warms up synth or drum...

I was looking an MS-10 or other vintage synth, but I eventually got around to buying a Little Phatty to replace a slightly unreliable (as in random patch settings mid-song, rare but disastrous) Bass Station and I'm extremely pleased with it. It's got thick analogue awesomeness but with much more sta...

For years, consumers thought cassettes were fine, then were perfectly okay with 128kbps mp3s. Who does Apple think is gonna buy these files? A tiny minority if the last time my band released anything on FLAC and MP3 is anything to go on. Still, if it's made easy for people they might do it. The fac...

*looks at shoes, twists foot nervously in dirt* I dunno, I think Jesus would be disappointed in me if I printed a digital mix to LP. It seems dishonest somehow. There's a couple guys here in town who have done vinyl releases. I might just invest some of my coffee budget into getting them to "spill ...

I have an 828 mk3 and the ADC is pretty damn good, certainly not something I'm concerned about in my recording chain. The front panel interface is great, very flexible in adjusting per input either -10 or -4 depending on what random piece of gear I'm using.

9. The Flaming Lips / Soft Bulletin - The "let's throw every sound we can think of at it and somehow make it work" approach. I would have this even higher up the list! Dave Fridmann has such a distinctive sound. According to Jonathan Donahue it's two mics on the drums. Amazing string sounds too, wh...

I've heard very varied reports about the performance of these, has anyone used them for recording 16+ tracks?

I would say Big Star's first album, which is engineered brilliantly all over but has probably the best sounding acoustic guitars I've heard on record. Specifically 'Watch The Sunrise'. Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division, for the creative use of delay, and for showing that even in a post-punk setting ...

AKG 414 and finally a UA Solo 610!

This is really sad, I saw Broadcast live around the time of Ha-Ha Sound and they were awesome, Trish was always one of my favourite singers.

The Noise Made By People is an excellent pop record if you haven't heard of them.

I'm going to see what my local tech makes of it on friday, though I'll post a picture later. I've got a pack of standard Fender screws and they didn't fit, I'll try contacting them directly though.
