I've been using Digital Performer for years and it's always been rock solid on both of my Macs. The HD24 is quite nice, but go with the version with the 96K i/o. I use to own an HD24 and it was also rock solid. I just wanted to work entirely in Digital Performer. Jeff[/quote} For my (tiny amount of...

Someone has changed the settings on my account.

I don't have an avatar set, but in the space where it would be, I am getting a statement reffering to me as an "ass engineer". I certainly did not say that about myself, and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. I have changed my password and tried resetting my account. I would really like to kno...

i think Gilmour, Waters and Wright all used Binson Echorec (sp?) magnetic disk echoes, tho Wright may have also used a tape delay. It's a rotating can. A buddy of mine (coincidentally, Fripp's guitar tech for like 10 years) owns one. I have to talk him out of ebaying it about twice monthly. WHOA! I...

I have come into a Studio Electronics plate echo.
Anyone have any nifty tips or stories they'd like to relate concerning these?
Also, don't they require periodic tuning?
Crap! This should have been posted in Gear Talk!

unlike the 1987 Radio KAOS tour (underwhelming, i also saw it), which pretty much geysered money from an open aorta (getting theater-sized crowds in arenas will do that) and featured Waters having unscripted hissy fits and abuse-a-thons on stage at every stop. Geysering money will to that to even t...

If it wasn't for "Murder" this album would be 110% forgotten.


Ahh, that album's kinda alright.

Dave looks like he's pondering the pros and cons of hitchhiking.

As for Syd, if you haven't seen the "session notes" written by Malcolm Jones.
Where does one find these session notes?

most bands are skeptical of live sound engineers because there are so many of them who get all pissy if you've got more than 2 gtrs, 1 bass, 4pc kit, and one vocal. [ This is often largely because of the exponential increase in potential feedback and phase issues for each mic you add beyond a certa...

as if 2 (TWO!) bands is Total Backbreaking Labor.... my all time favorite are the ones who scream bloody murder when you want to play your own drums and not the piece of shit house kit with heads that've never been changed or tuned ever.

Re: An off-topic live sound question regarding delay and ver

(Now if the "engineer" in question was in his thirties or older, you could chalk it all up to the fact that he hates his job and hates music and doesn't care. That's a different problem.) I dunno about that; I am in my 30's, but then again I hate that specific job now. I think the real issue with t...

You mentioned checking the chorus. That's the first thing i thought to mention. My Quad has detune and resonators and all kinds of things that could cause it's output to be off pitch from the input. Doesn't it also have a mode where you get nothing but EQ+verb? Why not use that? I'd almost buy drum...

An off-topic live sound question regarding delay and verb

Please feel free to delete this off topic ramble: I recently went out with a live sound company to do sound and crew work at an outdoor festival.I have a lot of experience in small clubs and some outdoor experience running sound. When put in command of the mixer for part of the afternoon during the ...
