sorry, but isn't the original poster trying to avoid a pissing contest??

Hey somebody actually read the OP!

So here's a scenario. You've gained another trusting client. They want to start work on a project in your studio. Everyone in the band is pretty cool however the bass player seems to know a thing or two about recording. He's scrutinizing your every move, he's dropping names and rattling off equipme...

I thought last night's Grammy presentation was probably one of the best in the last 10 years.

Thanks for the replies, guys. Found a 3.2G Pentium D machine w/ XP for $329!

Gonna buy another machine to dedicate to a PTLE rig for archiving my vinyl. I will be recording 2 tracks @ 96/24--no plugs, no mixing, no need for crazy performance specs--just recording stereo audio into the nerd box.

I've got a pretty good workflow now such that I'm getting about 6-8 LPs transferred and edited per day, while still living a normal, fulfilling lif...

More and more, people are listening to mixes on portable listening devices which are connected to their ears using crappy little earbuds (CLEs). When doing my mixes, I reference them in a variety of locations, including auto, my own monitor, home stereo, etc. I also have started referencing them vi...
