One of my favorite things I've worked on was a singer songwriter whose uber-flaky musician (now-ex) boyfriend promised her an awesome recording session if she would fly out to visit him. He was going to arrange for some ace musicians to play on the record, and he had a nice room available in an old ...

DBX 160x troubleshooting

Weirdly, I plugged in my 160x today and oddly the LEDs only light up to show me the levels when it's in bypass mode. When it's in active mode, I get no audio and no LEDs!

Anyone have clue what the problem could be?

Can I be really gross for a second? I have a lot of earwax that periodically builds up. I can scrunch my facial muscles and hear what sounds like wind or the ocean. Occasionally I will go in and get my ears vacuumed out and it all sounds better (and my high end perception improves), but it is expens...

A few sketchup images of the control room. Mix desk not to scale, just a placeholder to indicate orientation of the room. White box in corner is the sump pump that can't be moved. http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/2644/swimtwobirdscontrolroom.jpg http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/2644/swimtwobirdsco...

I found a good deal on some Ready Bags and a local supplier of OC 703, so i will have 10 4" panels split between the live room and the control room. Hopefully that's enough! Next question is going to be the control room! I have my desk centered between the walls and chair 38% back, but the room has ...

Here's a nice song I did a couple years back with Madeline, a rad singer/songwriter from Athens, Ga. We just did this as a quick CDR for the artists to sell on tour, figuring I'd dump it to tape and give it a proper mastering job. if it ever got a proper release. I didn't hear about it for a while,...

Weirdest shaped room! Where to even start?

We had no idea how weirdly shaped our room is until we drew it in Google sketchup! It's the basement of our house, meant as a basement apartment. (Control room is down that hallway.) We're thinking about layout and treatments, and any ideas/feedback are welcome. Where the hell are we going to put th...

I think this song is the best argument one can make for autotune.
