I know this is not music technically but this is too cool not to share...

Recordings of ice sheets using underwater microphones. Amazing how synth-like and artificial the tones are:

Dispersion of Sound Waves in Ice Sheets

I'm involved in a lo-fi "song of the month club" project with 4 other fellows. Someone starts with a song/part and decides order and sends out the details (chords/BPM) and track (just an MP3) to the group. The next person in line adds a part and emails out a mix of their track and the new solo track...

I've been digging Django Reinhardt w/ le Quintette du Hot Club de France.

A friend burned me a bunch of MP3s of old 78rpm recordings he has...

I got some CDs (remember those shiny silver disc things?): Ultimate Stan Getz Eric Alexander - Revival of the Fittest Grizzly Bear - Yellow House Homer & Jethro - America's Song Butchers Homer & Jethro - Best of Hall of Fame 2001 St. Vincent - Actor Wilco (the album) ...and I also got a set of omni ...

MR Clean, are you using the auxes for adding outboard gear during mixes? Or at all? I've got an old SPX90 on aux 1 and an ancient Yamaha R100 on aux 2. I've experimented and made sure they work - and you can send these two channels to your DAW as separate tracks (plus the master L/R out) but I've n...

I think the Mackie is great so far. The unit itself is solid and well built. Install was easy - I'm running Vista and had no trouble with drivers or anything. This is my first experience with Firewire and was a little nervous - but no hiccups yet. I'm using Cubase and have had no problems with laten...

Ever hear about the "PorchBoard"?

A friend sent me a link to some for sale on Elderly and then I found the site:

I cannot believe they get $240 for this...foot tapping thing...the copy writing on the home page is ridiculous.

Anyone ever see one in action?

I am just now discovering Pell Mell

Listening to their releases:

Star City
Interstate
Flow

Good driving around music...

Your challenge sounds cool and interesting...hope you can post some results for a listen!

I picked up a pair of MXL 603s mics back when they were a stupid deal of the day (30 bucks each!!) and of course they have the cardioid cap on them. Now I see you can get an Omni set for about 50 bucks: http://www.spectrumaudio.com/marshall-mxl-603-omni-capsule-set.html Here's a stupid question. Is ...

Just got my Mackie 1220i. Unpacked it and quick tested. Drivers were easy to install (I'm on Vista).

Finally I will be able to get more than two tracks into the computer at once. Now I just have to figure out how to get my drum kit into my small 9x9 recording space

I ordered a Mackie 1220i - arriving tomorrow.

Will be great to finally record my kit (and others) with more than 2 tracks at a time. I'll post any noteworthy observations...

I of course love the magazine...

But I really wanted to see the inside of that Water Tower studio...
