Dude, I think CD Baby died. Can you put your shit on bandcamp or something? Oh wait, bandcamp: there's a totally fair business model selling lossless audio and paying artists directly. What's pono for again?

As both a producer and consumer of such styles I think that the best way to record it was figured out 30 years ago....reverb and delay. The contemporary slick sounding "death" metal is crap. The contemporary slick sounding anything is crap. There are a ton of great bands today doing it the right wa...

16 in is pretty easy for a modern PC. Stick with brand name motherboards like ASUS, Gigabyte and the like. Go Intel i7 if you can swing it. SSD is not necessary, but if you must, use it for the system drive. 7200 RPM for the audio drive. If you want to be safe, factor in two or more backup drives. B...

If it doesn't offer a streaming service it's going to fail. Sure, a lot of us like to own and maintain a digital "collection" of hi-res files. But for most people that's not worth the trouble when you have Spotify and similar services. That is the short-term future of digital music. The long-term fu...

Screw Pono, I wanna hear some new ampguy jams.

As someone guilty of employing said vocal styles, I want to stress that the imperative strategy - while this may seem counter-intuitive - is to stay relaxed and go easy. Even hold back a bit, especially in early takes. Ease into the zone. My voice can last four to six hours, at which point the body ...

Two Audiofire 12s will do the job. The plus is you'll just get straight I/O. No preamps in the way. Maybe shop used.

If you do go that route be sure to include a Texas Instruments chip-based Firewire card in your PC build.

I'm not aware of any interfaces that will give you 16 analog channels in for under $500. The cheapest thing I can think of would be two Echo Audiofire 12s which would cost $1200 new for 24 channels of I/O. There's no hardware monitoring but I'm assuming you have a console.

You could probably find a used UAD Solo card in that range. Comes with 1176, LA2A, Pultec EQ and a pretty decent reverb.

I like ORTF on strereo overheads. Similar sound to X-Y but a touch wider. Still mono compatible.

Why?

Sell all the boxes and get something groovy like a UA Apollo.

If you can somehow trade down to PT10 it will run the 002.
