I've had a hell of a time trying to find detailed info on Thailand! I know Phuket got it pretty badly, but the earthquake alone must have damaged other areas. I visited there a few years ago & was planning on going back next year- I still want to go back, but I don't know how much of what I saw befo...

I've got the AKG240's, the Sony 7406 (?) and the Sennheiser MD280 and can say that the Sennheiser's are the go to pair for drum tracking. Really? Man, I don't know what they did to the AKG240's before I started working here, but they SUCK! It's mostly the fact that they're falling apart, but the cl...

only kidding, there have been a lot of threads like this tho, but i got a set of sony mdr-7506's they are pretty cool, sound decent to my ears, are comfortable, and are pretty isolated. They are around a 100 bucks. Believe it or not, I actually did wade through a ton of posts to get some ideas, but...

I think I managed to convince one of the higher powers at my studio that we need some new cables, mics, cans, etc. I know what to do as far as cables & mics go, but I need some headphone suggestions. We currently have a couple decent pairs of old Fostex headphones of some sort (which I actually real...

When I first graduated I got an ASSload of really terrible internships. Not even working my ass off internships- I was basically learning nothing for a good 6 months. As a result of this, I was pretty out of practice. So, when I got my first "real" studio job, I agreed to record my room mate's demo ...

Well, shit. That's what emoticons are supposed to be for, but I guess my ;-) didn't convey my intent. Truly sorry for the misunderstanding- it didn't occur to me that it could be taken the wrong way! Please accept this one-eyed green smiley as a peace offering. May he look upon you with good fortune...

(sigh) If you actually read what I wrote, you'll notice that I never said ANYTHING about your abilities. My original post was not at all negative. I don't know you. For all I know you could be a recording prodigy. I'm sure you could handle an internship or even an entry level position at a studio- I...

Aw. You poor little weenie. This has nothing to do with your age or my confidence or skills. I posted my original response because I was genuinely impressed by a young engineering student who had the nads to go for a great job offer regardless of his experience. I wish I had the nerve to do that now...

we wouldn't email you back, we'd call and leave a message. we're like, serious, and shit Oh yeah. (insert sheepish grin here) I almost forgot about the whole phone thing. Hehe....I've been at the same place for a while- the prospective employee/employer communication process has kinda escaped me......

My spam filter is pretty good but every so often a message or two I DO want does sneak through into there so I check it at least once a week. Yeah, every once in a while I'll check it on a whim & there'll be something I actually want in there. It's just a pain in the butt because I can get up to 20...

You have a bit of a tone as well, my dear. We'll see if that changes after the first time the guy you're interning for puts a boot up your ass for your little "'tude" Oh, and I'm not an old man. I'm actually in my mid-20's. And female. It's ok, darlin'. I thought I knew everything when I was 18, too.

Well, I WASN'T joking. In the past I've gone for jobs that I TOTALLY wasn't qualified for, actually got the position and it gave me a leg up as far as experience and pay. Now that I've gone to school and trained to do something, I tend to apply for jobs that are pretty much at my skill level. Maybe ...

I've sent in my resume a couple times- I'll happily send it again! Silly question- if I got a response from Sound on Sound, is it possible that my spam filter put it in my bulk folder? I usually just empty that without reading it. Anyway, I don't mind long hours, I work my butt off, & I'm a kick-ass...

I have no haunted studio stuff to report, but if you do a Google search for EVP, or Electronic Voice Phenomena, you'll come up with scads of WAV files, etc. on any number of different sites. Well, I did it, and though I am a pretty dedicated skeptic, that stuff spooked the crap out of me. Check out...

I wish I had the 18 year old's balls! If he starts at that age & keeps going for studio jobs he's underqualified for, he's going to be a Grammy winning engineer by the time he's 25!
