Hey everyone, I've decided to enter the world of unaccredited teaching. If this course sounds appealing drop me a line. I think it will be really fun, and very one-on-one. Larry Crane Jackpot! Recording Studio, Inc. ?Weekend Recording Workshop? Larry Crane, editor and founder of Tape Op Magazine and...

People are dumb because they aren't smart. Doesn't everyone know that? Oh yeah, some may be too dumb.

it's great for the musicians to have some knowledge of the recording process - I don't find many people who come in thinking they can't do overdubs or that the songs have to be recorded in album order any more. I like educating folks too, and I'm patient as hell with folks. It's just those 1% who ha...

Allegra here in Portland are truly awesome sounding, and I'll bet most major cities have a few folks that buidl custom drums that kick ass like this. It sure helps when the guy from the drum shop brings the kit down, sets up and tunes them. Makes my job easy...

Wait, oh shit I posted on this and I'm furthering the disease. I was just stopping to look really, as the hard drive question was already answered. Damn, I'll stop clogging the board and get out of the way!

Yes, but offering deals to great clients can be a good thing! But I can't believe someone would blame the cable for the session, sounds like a Mixerman story. I know this is almost rude, but when people start trying to sabotage their own session I'll start using bigger words and tech speak (real one...

You know, there's that thing where they come in to do a session and right away start questioning how you're going to do stuff you haven't even started doing. I get on edge and start to worry that the people know more than me or that I'm fucking up royal and not realy hearing how shitty an engineer I...

After a long summer making no money running a studio my advice is to stick with a job that pays...

I do believe that long-time Beatle assistant Neil Aspinal heads Apple Corp these days, though I'm sure the people that make these sorts of decisions are lawyers. Most times a lawsuit such as this is entered as a formality in order for corporations to protect their interests. I'll bet it gets settled...

I would steer anyone away from the Tascam 38 after many years of watching one limp through sessions. Mine finally ended up unrepairable... at least in this town.

First, MRL is Magnetic Reference Labs in Ca who make analog test tapes. JRF is John french's company back east and the do head relapping and build headstacks. Both companies are reputable and great people who will help you out. And I say that even though they don't buy ads with us! 185 nWb/m is 0 dB...

The Facts From Tape Op Editorial HQ: Yes, we are asking for email addresses and that the person signing up understand that they may "occasionally" receive mailings or emails from pro audio companies that we have allowed to rent our list. The lists will be rented for one-time use and will not be reso...

I know a lot of folks that own and run "indie" record lables. Not one has ever expressed a problem with people trading MP3s. I have been ripping MP3s into my iBook for personal use. I have also bought songs on iTunes. I also went searching on Limewire for rare stuff I can't even find in record store...

I entered into Pro Tools land recently so I went right into OSX and PT6. We've had a lot of problems with the I/O settings, specifically getting the S/PDIF and ADAT stuff to work. Hint: Set the hardware how you want and quit and restart PT6. It pissed me off that I had less trouble with I/O running ...

I'm selling the Joemeek because I never use it. Fridmann be damned if I ever sell my SC2.2!
