Jezzbus Professor, you're only 31??? You eloquence and wisdom had me thinking you were like 45 or some shit. WOWZERS. Anyhoo, yea, I think you really gotta love this to do it. The dudes that are usually doin it to "be cool" learn pretty fast that it is a lot of hard work and psychology, and you ofte...

Wow, These responses are deep. Professors was sweet, van or driver? I am working on that one right now as my carrer pulls me in different directions. My advice is to not give up. Seriously, next time you mix imagine that mentor dude over your shoulder, listening, try to be objective with your mix. I...

HA! Totally agree with ya,dude. If you're doing coporate work, fine and good, but rock n roll, man.

I'm looking to buy a pair of powered PA speakers to use at practice with my band and also to crank mixes through in big rooms for reverb in recordings. Anyone have any experience with the Samson db500a's? They're 500w a speaker and 500 bucks each. Did a little research and they seem to be a great d...

Wow, I was wondering that myself last week, because you'll find all kinds of 19" junk around town that aint just fer audio.

Wikipedia is crazy, I got strung along this morning for about an hour jumping from link to link. I started out with twin peaks and ended up, hell I can't even remember.

I dont even think I have ever seen a 441 clip of original origin. It's always been some modified thing. I stared at the Oktavas 012's for like a half an hour before I figured those out. I forgot about EV 408/468. You always see those with like a whole roll of gaff around them. 81's gray clips are ok...

Nag Champion, weed, busch light, milaukees best, cigarette butts, some kind of sweet strange burning smell, old gear, new carpet (not fer long), smelly dudes who need to have more than one change of clothes, did I mention my space doubles as a rehearsal studio??? Glue, saw dust, metal shop, paint, a...

Sennheiser 421

Do I even have to explain???

Frequency representation at loud ass dB's is more important. If all your energy is spent at 4k blasting all attack and using too much horn, everyone will get snarky and run away as fast as they can from your mix. Subs, subs, with the hi pass and stay out of hard limiting. The more way to much high e...

What makes over-under so superior? They stay neat and tidy. When you want to unwrap them you can just throw it across the room and it comes out straight every time. If you have ever been a roadie you will appreciate it when trying to setup fast. The garden reel works ok, but you can only unravel on...

Dudes, How do you all approach headphone mixes on Pro Tools? Is everyone using one mix for everybody or setting up different mixes for everyone using the Aux section? I am running into problems and could use some headphone expansion. I have a headphone mixer with mono ins, so I am thinking of using ...

Over-under is definitely the way to go. Us live sound guys will laugh heartily at you if you do over-over, and we'll beat you to a bloody pulp if you do the "weed wacker wrap" (wrapping around your elbow) on any of our cables. 8) Yup. Another thing not to do is knot your over under by laying them a...

What did you guys say? Nobody can hear anything anymore. We are all around each other screaming into each others ears, driving down the hiway at 65MPH with the window down jamming along to footloose, screaming into phones 24 hours a day, I think it goes deeper than "make mine the loudest". The whole...

Woah dude cool. Dont let the secret out. Yea, shirts with audio realted gear on them are sweet.

Okay, Im up to page 3, Im leanring a lot, and I am even feeling validated and assurred. One time I was at a studio and dude was telling me to turn up the outputs of comps and pres and what have you SUPER HOT TO PROTOOLS, like going into red square town, and dude was like "ya gotta use all the bits" ...
