FWIW, Pergo is probably the WORST choice you can make for a high traffic floor that's going to get beat on...like a live room. It's basically a picture of wood that's about 1/16" thick and it doesn't take long for it to start looking like crap. At one time I worked out of a shop that had Pergo in th...

FWIW there's another 100 or so vinyl records around too...if only I had a turntable.

How big is your CD collection?

There's probably somewhere about 800-900 commercial CD's in my collection...I stopped counting when I got to the high 600's and that was a couple years ago!!! There's maybe another 300 or so of random stuff like burned bootlegs, comps, EP's and other junk that came without jewel cases. I'm not even ...

Sucks for them but it's good that we know the real secret...that getting a couple three new CD's is way more inspiring & cheaper then that shiny new box! I'd rather see a smaller forum, it's a better hang ...

Did anyone catch the dozen or so tube mic PSU's that are hanging out in front of the mic panel? Practically EVERYTHING there is a tube mic! Two mics on Ringos kit, dig it!

I usually go with drummers perspective in the studio. If I'm doing FOH I'll go with audience perspective for the obvious reasons and sometimes in either case I'll stick the floor tom in the center or just off center if it's crowded there. Years ago I assisted one producer/mix guy who panned every ot...

I'd start by dropping the level to something more manageable to gain headroom, say -15dBfs and then try anything & everything but the kitchen sink. Either frequency selective or broadband expansion can bring back a little bit of the dynamics. Beyond that you can try to embrace the crapiness and proc...
