We had to move out of our spot over 2 years ago while they were doing foundation work on our building. We temporarily merged with a friend (Hugh Pool at Excello Recording) and didn't loose any work but it was a long time, longer than expected, to be out of our space. We had a lot of time to think ab...

I think a lot of professionals just use their live IEMs in the studio also, like why wouldn't you use very high quality custom-fitted devices? I have a pair of the base model Sensaphonics IEMs, custom molded of course. I got them because I'm a live sound guy and once in a while get an IEM monitor m...

I use one of those SE Reflexion Filter things with mics at home. It helps me get a 'close' sound. It mounts to the mic stand and has its own place to mount a mic. It sounds very good but it's a total pain to adjust from Vocal height to Acoustic Guitar height (those are the 2 things I use mics for at...

I absolutely love the Mad Professor Mellow Yellow Tremolo. It sounds great and has a gain knob so your volume doesn't have to drop the way it does on a lot of tremolo pedals. The PCB version sounds just as great as the hand wired. https://reverb.com/marketplace?product_type=effects-and-pedals&query=...

We had a policy with Music Pro for quite a while. They were very good to deal with. A client got a guitar stolen out of a common area and they ponied up the dough for that promptly. They also didn't flinch with the values of the stuff at the studio and it also covered my gear on tour. I don't know h...

too bad no M-500. That's an astounding mic for basic tracks or guitar/vocal rejection.

Recording Acoustics in an untreated room: If you want to get a tighter sound some absorption behind the microphone will help. No absorption? You can accomplish this if you have 2 extra mic stands w booms by setting each one up as a T (boom horizontal to the ground) and draping some blankets over the...

Trading "up" to an 11 year old computer sounds crazy to me. When I started we had to have a console and large format tape machines to work. When I read a post like this I just don't get it. I feel like my advice would be unwelcome but here goes. My advice would be to get the best (supported) compute...

I don’t know if you’ve tried a solution like this, but I gave up on the idea of a cab in the house…I plug my amps into a Two Notes Torpedo Live and record direct. Best of both worlds, imho.

I use the UA OX (similar product) and I'm super happy with the results.

My advise would be to mix a live recording the way you would mix a live show....

Get the vocal mics sounding good then add the other elements that help the overall mx.

Awesome - the clips sound terrific, both channels and the blend.

And switchable rectumfriers!

Thanks, I'm really digging it.

I saw this on insta. I dig that amp, it seems to love P90s, which I also do.

Get one!
It'll go nice with your Neotek!

Solid Merch is A To Z Media's short run special setup.
They are a very good company.

I got a new amp. I ordered it in September from Cutthroat Audio in Idaho. It's their take on the Brown Deluxe with a few extra twists like internal channel jumping and selectable negative feedback and tube/SS rectifier. It's got that cool "bias tremolo" that only the brown Fenders had. I ordered it ...

We've been doing 96k for a long time.
Sounds very good w our Burl rig.
That said, the largest percentage of the UA plugs (the modeled ones) only go to 48k.
Most of their original plugs go to 96. My OX box also only goes to 48. I use the digital outs with it at home.
