Now I'm really jealous. There is nothing more civilized than drinking beer and eating real food while at the movies. Literally, it's the most civilized thing you can do.

You might want to get in touch with Adam from Telegraph Mastering (telegraphaudio.com) about his recent experience of buying a renovated lathe. He could possibly steer you in the direction of where to find one, or at least give you some advice on the whole process. He's a nice dude and I'm sure woul...

The isoacoustic stands have been sold. Price drop on the monitors to $1900.

I've had these Focals for one and a half years and they've always been treated well, living in my mix studio. Never subjected to extreme volume or exposed to smoke or pet hair. Basically they've sat untouched on stands, and have just delivered amazing sonic representation from there. These are great...

Yes, converting the tracks would not be hard, and that's probably the simplest method to achieve this. Cool website, though. I'll look into those graphs. I suppose I'm more interested to know if others are bothering with this practice of upsampling when coming back from an analog send. I'll do my ow...

I'm about to get my first pieces of outboard gear for my mixing studio and I've been wondering about recapturing the stereo mix at a higher sample rate when it makes the A/D trip back into the computer. Most projects I receive are recorded at 44.1 or 48k, but once the audio is in the analogue realm ...

Thanks for the manual. That will be really useful if I take the plunge. I'm seeing this as a possible experiment with an analog desk. Unlike Mackies, this seems a bit bigger and therefore easier to open up and tinker with. I imagine swapping some parts could improve the sound, maybe add some more ch...

One of these desks is available locally and I'm considering it for OTB mixing. Anyone have experience with them? On various forums people have said that they are fairly clean but somewhat dark. They go for cheap now ($300-$400) but apparently went for $4K new. Wondering what kind of quality to expec...

Thanks everyone. Great stuff here and good to know this is doable. Really the main impetus is to cover the studs and get a somewhat finished look, but if I can get that needed absorption and not have to mess with drywall, all the better. I realize the STC rating won't be as good as with drywall, but...

I have a partly finished, detached garage that I use as my mixing studio, and thinking now about the next phase of completion. I have bass traps in the corners and a cloud on the ceiling, which seem to tame the low end pretty well. The remaining problem is some high end reflections. Right now the tw...

A friend of my father's is trying to record a piano ballad and, after one bad production experience, is looking for someone new to record and mix the song. A studio with a piano would probably be ideal, but I'm sure she'd be open to a location recording with a mobile rig if the person was good. She ...

All of these contained in this post! I had a recording session/video shoot a couple months ago and one of the resulting videos is now in a Facebook contest. It's currently at #2 in it's region, so I'd appreciate some votes to help it advance to the finals. You can vote 10 times and voting ends at 3p...

Thanks for everyone's thoughts. I have some finished products from the session now, if anyone is curious how it turned out. One of the videos is actually now in a FB contest and sitting at #2 in it's region, so I'd appreciate some votes to help it advance to the finals. You can vote up to 10 times a...

Great, thanks for the input. Don't have any clip on mics, so might have to go DI with the acoustic guitar. Hopefully I can make it sound decent in mixing. I have a Zoom H4N I might throw down for a dirty stereo room mic. It won't be using the same word clock of course, but I've had decent results wi...

I have a somewhat challenging project on Friday. It's a live performance with a 7-piece band, though there is no audience. It's a video shoot, and I'm enlisted to track the performance. It's on a stage at a bar, though the bar is in an old brick warehouse. Think concrete floors, brick walls, +20' ce...
