Clients who actually pay their bills.

I think it's the other way around-- "Smart enough, but not wise enough..." Unless you mean Wise Guy (a few of whom I've known), or "Weisenheimer," many of whom I've known, including one who almost got us killed one night in an incident involving our set list and a patron with a really large Bowie k...

My band was on the bill once with Starship. At least, that's what the promoter kept telling us. We never for a minute believed him. It was strange. When I booked the gig, it was just "I want to play at your bar," and he said "great; you can open for Starship." Uh, okay. I checked the papers and foun...

Lots of good info in that SOS article, but one major thing to take away: "Dookie" was not a live-off-the-floor document of a band playing. It was as carefully constructed as a classic rock record, with all the drum edits, re-tracking bass and guitars after the basics, etc. So if you want that sound,...

I'm still using my 002, running PT9. At some point I'm probably going to have to change, but I'm not sure what to go to.

Mike, do the UAD plugs show up within PT? I've never been sure how that works.

I have driven cross country in a Honda Civic. It was fine. I'd rather drive cross country in a Honda Civic than drive downstate in an 80s Jaguar (which I have also done and after 19 years my backside still has not forgiven me). That said: you should at least somewhat address proper gain staging, if ...

These days even Naks can be found for cheap.

The place I worked at had binloop dubbers. I think that was considered better quality than dubbing tapes in the shells, realtime or no.

Slightly off track, but I frequently turn off my computer monitor when playing back a take I just edited or comped. So neither myself or the band can see where the edits are. It's a good way to really tell if you have any edits that are noticeable - and it's like a fun party trick for bands that we...

Let me set the record straight. Audio & video are actually two separate things. Audio/Video is the input jack on a VCR, not a realistic job title. I wish I could agree with that more than just in principle. I know a few audio guys who have had to learn video and add it to their workload when their ...

Huh. I've nothing but stories of ignorance, mediocrity, and outright dooshiness re the banjo marts here in Chi. Not one time since the mid '90's can I say I've had good service there, what is why I haven' talked to anyone in there in years, except to make a buy - I never ask for nor trust their adv...

Or a handful of adaptors in the middle of tech week?

This may be fixed with PT11, but the thing to keep in mind is that the postproduction features of PT were developed in an era where video editorial and post sound were two very distinct disciplines and very separate departments, and the standard procedure was for the audio room to deliver final mixe...

I'm honestly not trying to be negative. I'm genuinely puzzled at this job notice and would love for the OP to come back and clarify what s/he is looking for.

Excellent! Congrats!
