Hi...I decided I'd record a few demos for a friend and their band so I brought my rig over....decent preamps, an 828 mk2 going into Logic. Only recording SIX tracks Audio sounded great but was cutting out every few second! I increased the buffer size as large as possible, ensured all was running at ...

Does anyone know the story about Floyd throwing the Studer 24 trk in the pool at Superbear during The Wall recording before they had to ship one over from New York?

For me (call me nuts) Pornography is one of the five best albums ever made. They should have called it a day after that album IMO......oh well

If you really want to be an engineer more than anything, you can be successful despite the fact that there are fewer and fewer studios employing people each day. It's all about networking--find a few people who can help open doors for you. Ignore the peoople who say you can't do something and be per...

Anyone have comments as to recent experiences with the Ensemble? Did they work most of the bugs out? Can you now use two interfaces on a single Mac?

Pls share experiences.....

My understanding is that Norman Smith came from much more of a 'classical/jazz' orientation and was a little out of his depth..... I also think that the engineer and the producer had more influence over the sound than the producer--evidenced by See Emily Play and Arnold Layne (engineered by John Woo...

"less experienced staff, etc. " Not true. Norman smith was WAY more experienced than Geoff Emerick and Peter Bown was also no spring chicken. (but obviously George Martin was very experienced) The stereo version WAS mixed after the initial release of the mono version and I believe nobody from Floyd ...

yes, there is such thing as 'warm'.

Listen to the strings in Nick Drake's "way to blue"

transfer of what to what?

"i still enjoyed the book, but i look forward to seeing the corrected version." :roll: This is a great book and was a pleasure to read--that's what books are for, enjoyment. The book is primarily built on Emerick's memories, which he is perfectly entitled to share however accurate or inaccurate. It ...

I saw the Ghost in the Machine tour....good album/good show.

I will be going to MSG- section 200 which isn't bad. I also have 2 tix for Atlantic City (much smaller venue) October show that I may be dumping, so PM me if interested.....

Okay, RefD...let's see what a weakling Waters was when it comes to writing music: 1983 (The Final Cut) 100% of music by Waters (yes, I think this is a great album) 1980 (The Wall). 100% of music written by Waters except for Comfortably Numb and Run Like Hell. That is 24 songs--not including the trac...

Waters writes great lyrics but has weak music ??? Most of Floyd's songs were written by Waters (from "Green is the Colour, Cirrus Minor, Grantchester Meadows to The Wall....). The guy can write songs. Really. He's a good musician, too. Joe Boyd once said that his bass playing was the core foundatio...

Turns out Johnny B is right. I just found out from a VERY reliable source that they were indeed going to play together that night. Gllmour himself actually invited Waters to join the rest of the group for a rendition of "Interstellar Overdrive". Waters DID have a conflict and said he couldn't! Would...
