10-14db gain reduction for a vocal? is that how rap is done? damn. i'm glad i don't have to deal with that.

oh i just reread your post. flipping the top mic? eh, not so typical. you generally "need" to flip the microphone that's facing the opposite direction of the other mics. if you're micing every drum from the top at a similar angle, a bottom snare mic will be out of phase, almost 180 degrees. check yo...

that's physics. you don't HAVE to do that, but if you want it to sound right, you SHOULD.

well, i've passed audio through every channel as of like 2 days ago. drums and bass. i got two rough drum takes of the song that i'll use as a guide for the "real" recording using all the mics i want in all the right places. so far, i'm EXTREMELY happy with the sounds i'm getting as far as my mic->p...

cool rooms, cool people, good beer, extensive cheese selection.

sleater-kinney show was 120 degrees.

i'll be at sleater-kinney.

i can come hang earlier if you'd like. i'll test the beers before too many people get there to make sure it's not poisoned.

it keeps the drummer snappy on thinly ripped current events.

i've never heard of it, personally, but i'd imagine the "rustling" sound it would make is probably what it's used for. i've tape a tambourine to the inside of the resonant head, but never used newspaper.

i'm tied down to a staff engineer job in LIC, but i'd love to come hang out and have a drink every once in a while! you stole that jupiter one job from me, actually. haha.

shoot me a message.

the algorithms for the cop and wizard came from an actual studio experience i had with a jam band and LSD. true story.

would i pay $950 to relive that day? yes.

i got mine yesterday. i typically get it a bit earlier than most but alas...that was not the case this time.

hah! cool! geek poker tournament! maybe i'll show up.

That' s what the carabiner on the belt loop is for. It also announces your entrance in a room. I get a strange pleasure from walking around the cubicle farm at my day job with my 20 keys jangling at my side. Who's a corporate sellout? Not this guy. :twisted: yeah the carabiner is my move, too. i've...

i read that article. it was tracked on an 8058. i don't like that band. nice desk though. then again...nickelback has a nice desk too.

i was in a band for a number of years that did particularly well. the last record we did (the one that broke up the band), i recorded, but being that i had no studio of my own at the time, we went to moontower in cambridge, mass. we lived at the studio for 2 months and recorded every day. we're stil...
