I do mostly TV commercial work, I have a client that constantly asks me to turn stuff up a"quarter dB". I know what he really wants is around a 4db bump, but if he sees me jack it up he says....no..no..no just a quarter dB. I do that around 12 times and he says "perfect". I'm glad I charge by the ho...

rather than use shrink tubing, there's this stuff out there that's made out of teflon that I use. You buy the proper gauge you need, and just slip it over the bare wire. Thing is, though, you have to trim it back properly so there is bare wire going into that ADC punchblock hole. The teflon stuff d...

Anyone know a good leasing company for my start up Post Production studio.

My band went in and did 12 songs in 2 days,3 days for over dubs. We created one of the biggest piles of shit I have ever heard. Why? Because they thought more songs done is better than a few done well. I think 3 songs in 8 hours for basic tracks is a good estimate, grouping songs you want to have th...

I found a bag full of these pre-amp modules at work. Does anyone know what kind of sound these pre's have. I have around 20 of them, but I would
have to get some sort of power supply to find out what they sound like.

I would automatically add boston and foreigner to any list that featured journey. It would be cool to make a greatest hits collection of all their well, greatest hits and sell it on TV to contractors. Tired of classic rock radio that just doesnt deliver enough of the hits that you love? Screw, sand...

Here's an old George Harrison quote about U2: "You know what irritates me about modern music, it's all based on ego. Look at a group like U2. BONO and his band are so egocentric... The more you jump around, the bigger your hat is, the more people listen to your music... The only important thing is ...

Alt. country band looking for a drummer with taste. Think Neil Young "Harvest"

I never would have guessed that all my knob-twister friends were so steel friendly. There is an archived performance where I played pedal steel on a local radio show that has a video stream if you're interested at: http://kcrw.com/smil/mb031113Mojave_3.ram No making fun of my posture alright? I'm s...

Man the shot of the Leslie and those Hammond 166's looks sweet.

I wish I found cool stuff like that, I seem to only find old crazy girlfriends.

It's tough 'cause I'm just listening with a computer, but the Level Loc at 6' sounds pretty damn good to me. It has a more midrange"clang" to it that I kinda like on the Acoustic(good for Stonesesque stuff).The other track is a more even sound tonewise. I really hear the shakey sound of the Shure un...

I work in sound for TV, but it's pretty much the same as film. There is a little more info than I can give you in an e-mail but here is a little basic stuff. Most dialog is recorded with an overhead mic on a boom pole. The mic of choice usually is a Sennhieser 416 or another hypercardiod shotgun. Th...

Most OD's sound best when your amp is turned up to that point just below break up. If your trying to keep the volume down to apease your neighbors this probably won't work for you. I agree that the SansAmp or Pod might be a better answer to getting a decent tone to tape with "bedroom" levels. Otherw...

From an artists perspective I am always looking for ways to make my song more complete. Sometimes out of laziness or loss of creative "spark" I call a song done and ready to record. I really look for a producer to be honest with me and either come up with something to help the song out, or send me b...
