I have both the RNC and RNLA. Got the RNC first and liked it a lot. It's pretty transparent and hard to mess up which I dug for a while but have since gotten a little bored with. The RNLA wasn't a winner for me right away. It isn't as versatile as the RNC but definitely has more character. I've sinc...

Great! Thanks, Casey.

Didn't even know a usb adapter thing like that existed. That seems like an amazingly easy way of doing what was taking me forever.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

When it rains it pours :( ... The computer at my parents' house kept freezing while booting Windows XP we think because of some virus. The comp is probably around 8 yrs old, if not more, so we don't care if it's trashed, but we do care about the data - family pictures, music, financial docs. I come ...

Wow, that's awful. Hope it works out for Massey. Sounds like it would tough to prove they lied about/misrepresented the space if none of that stuff is in writing but the lease is signed. What a shitty situation.

Found this on StereoGum. Never heard of em before this, but this song and recording are pretty gorgeous. Totally worth the listen/watch:

i also haven't used that piece of gear specifically, but i have been chopping up a good bit of samples lately and using em with my new MPC. Sounds to me like you're doing everything right. It may be a faulty unit or design flaw. The only other thing I'd suggest trying is adding really short, almost ...

Full disclosure: He works out of One East Recording.

ooh, why must you be so tempting?!? Someone please grab these already so I can stop thinking about it.

I have never really used the pre's so I can't help you there Does this mean the ins on the back bypass the pre's, unlike on the Firestudio Project that there have been a number of threads about on here? I wonder how the Digimax compares/differs from the Firestudio and Firestudio Project, they seem ...

2 big examples that popped up in my mind are the Titus Andronicus record and the first Tokyo Police Club record. I love what both of these bands do live and the songs are amazing but the recordings are too harsh. It seems to me that they wanted their records to convey that energy they have live but ...

Nice! Highly recommended!

A friend just lent me his copy and so far it's amazing. Definitely need to find the time to finish watching it.

Anyone who helped on a session should be mentioned in the "thanks you's" column. I agree they should be thanked, but also have to say that everyone who took part in making a record - from the producer to the guys who did 1 line of gang vocals, from the mastering engineer to the guitar tech - should...

I would start by checking every combination of phase flipping to first find the least fucked up sound to start with. All awesome suggestions from toaster ... In reference to what he said about phase-combos, if you haven't already, check out the PhaseTone plug. I downloaded it recently and have been...

Get a firewire 400-to-800 cable like the one below (you can definitely find a better price) and it'll work fine. I often run one of my firewire interfaces like that. http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F3N404-06-APL-6-Foot-9-Pin-FireWire/dp/B00009EFQT/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1256149390&sr=8-1 ...

I think the ask/pester/reconfirm advice is all good but I don't know if there is any definite way to make sure you end up in the credits, especially as an assistant engineer. After nearly every session I engineer or assist, I'll ask the artist and/or producer to please take down my name (and contact...
