if your cymbals and hats are too loud the fact that you are putting a microphone directly over them might have something to do with it...

It's simple math... if the SSL mix costs you $600 more, you need to determine: does the SSL mix MAKE you more than $600 more in sales? it's that simple. If it doesn't make you more money, then it's not, by definition, "worth it" wow, I was going to say something snide and nasty and realize that thi...

Going over The Beatles recordings with a magnifying glass and a fine toothed comb is not going to help get you anywhere. especially when you come to realize that so much of the equipment they used was either fully custom one off stuff, in house modified work that EMI had done or for the common comm...

they didnt call him the boss because he took a bunch of shit...

the sound on that video clip certainly matches the room...

have you heard what an SSL sounds like, in person, instead of trusting the hype about what you read on the internet? There are plenty of us who wouldnt mix a rock record on an SSL for free, let alone pay money to do it. If you know the consoles and love thier sound, go for it, but if youve never hea...

1: Why does the Threshold knob have positive, as well as negative, values?

if somebody knew nothing about driving a forklift but wanted to learn, they just might be better off reading a little about it before they tried, as opposed to NOT reading anything before trying. if nothing else, just to make those initial attempts go a little smoother.

I fired a muzzleloader for the first time today.

thats a whole new perspective.

you need to buy an MRL tape or if you cant afford one, at the very least "make" one on a machine that has been tightly calibrated to a standard using a MRL tape. Saving a windy explanation, you really cant make one accurately on another machine, the MRL tapes are full track tone across the entire ta...

It is most likely from your mic placement.

when people made honest rock records back in the day, they didnt tweak on that level, they just adjusted the mics until it souded cool.

dont make the process more ridiculous than it needs to be, making records is easy.

holy. going to college to learn how to produce records is like going to college to learn how to drive a fork lift. They'd probably call that major "inventory management"...
