ALL analog Soundcrafts that get used where people breathe need regular cleaning.

WOW. I?ve never, not even once, worked in a pro spot where that kind of BS happened. I haven?t freelanced in a spot where that happened either. Late will get you cancelled, I would call the owner, irate as all hell, if that happened. But I haven?t freelanced in a few years. That kinda stuff is NOT w...

Back when dinosaurs ruled the earth, we used to always use outboard pads, the rule was ?don?t use the pads on the board because they?re in the wrong place? in the signal chain gain stage. They added noise. The difference was slight but cumulative. I usually use outboard if I don?t know the topology ...

Depending on the distance of certain elements something will ALWAYS be out of phase. So, what can you live with? Figure out what can be and hen you can scoot what you want to be the main in phase thing into correct phase with whatever you?ve determined is the most important element for it to be in p...

I?ve had and conquered this problem. You can make a cloud with moveable pivoting plywood panels in it with 702 on the backs of the panels. They pivot on the left and right sides to push what would normally bounce off the ceiling back behind you to the back of the room to your broadband absorber on y...

If I take my curmudgeonly butt back to NYC, 1988 which is when I got to record and mix live for higher end stuff REGULARLY (12 bands a day), I noticed that more hollywood people were getting into the mix of record labels as artists and managers. A bad thing to be sure. Hollywood stars sing VERY brea...

Make a friend, offer to record, you?re the driver and advice from client costs YOU money, so, they must pay to have their way.

I think the idea of having a visual reference for yourself, as long as it doesn?t distract you from the performance is ?OK?, better you should warm up really well to scales hitting you notes dead on, practice in other words. That visual reference will serve better in rehearsal, not so much during pe...
