inspired by the bad interns thread, I have a similar question. my current client: - has never been on time. shows up at 4pm when we plan for 10am - stays up till 6am the night before tracking MOST of the time and it shows in his performance and vocal takes. this is after I instruct him to get a good...

yes. reaper only. they made a built in PPC plugin host. only the AU versions load the GUI though. the mac VST's "load" but you have to use generic controls and etc.

It looks like a 20-year old Copper water pipe that has never been cleaned. that sounds great actually. right up my alley as far as looks go. Maybe quenching in Ammonia would bring out different patina? just don't blow yourself up or get sick on ammonia fumes! ;) Ammonia-soaked-rag-in-the-bag... I'm...

today is the best mac day of my life:


you can thank Reaper for making this possible.

Tomorrow, I'm visiting a local Powder-coating and Plating business here in San Diego to price bright-Nickel-plating some screens, and powder-coating some bodies for a short run of complete "Boutique" Austin mics. - Rickshaw awesome. I did find some info on the "alchemist" way to change the color. s...

Seriously.

hold on a second. some of you guys get PAID to do this?!!?!

having everything wired, routed, and ready to go. I keep switching the postions of things and do not have a nice patch bay.

also the desire to actually mix after I track. it seems I love tracking much more than mixing.

you should take a look at a:
Golden Age Project Pre 73

google it, read about it. think about it.

the long awaited sound clip: http://drop.io/ihazribbon 2ft from my mouth. one track, one mic, no effects. It took a while because I was waiting to have the free time and funds to grab a few pre-molded trusses. I also sourced some 1.8 micron foil from new zealand. I'll probably have more clips at som...

yeah it's pretty much the best thing ever.

what's that snareish sound after he says "mule" on the glitter and doom live album? sounds loud and amazing. how/what is it? I think the 4 is just a clap with some major compression and verb. what is the thing on the 2? to listen: http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/song/Get+Behind+The+Mule+Tulsa+06+25+...

The sales rep said it was chinese and that's why it was 100 bucks. he was wrong though. it's russian. it also came DOA, but I just had to open up and found a lead wire flapping in the br...
