Where are your Limitations?
As we all get on in the DAW- or perhaps still studio domain, where are your limitations now?
Are they real? Or are they perceived?

Left ear 8015 HZ about 1/2 octave.
Right ear 8018 HZ about 1/3 to 1/2 octave.
Both are dips of about 5-6 dB. My brain compensates by always thinking I am hearing these frequencies.
Supposedly there are some therapies out there, I'll be trying some this year.
I am more careful EQing around this frequency because of this limitation.
Cheers
Howling at the neighbors. Hoping they have more mic cables.

Re: Where are your Limitations?
There are always limitations. There always have been. In analog land, in digital land, in big commercial studios. Real and perceived. Space and gear trades off to time, or to money. Personnel trades off to scheduling and personalities.@?,*???&? wrote:As we all get on in the DAW- or perhaps still studio domain, where are your limitations now?

But the limitations I find myself facing are the same ones as years ago: the creative ones. The vicious stare of the blank page, the elusive initial concept of the sound design, the first note to play or theme to write.

I think back to the threshold of a 52-input SSL like we had at Master Control. Tracking/Mixing sessions with 24-busses, 6 headphone mixes, etc. went smoothly. Lovely outboard gear like a Neve Sidecar, a rack of Trident A-range modules and a plethora of API and Pultec gear made things sound really good. We had ample supply of pretty much every kind of mic you could imagine.
In doing this now under different circumstances, the main bottle-neck for me is with computer power. Short of a full-blown HD system or some alternate program, what's the answer?
Letting going of needing 24-inputs to track a band isn't going to happen. Letting go of headphone mixes did. Letting go of the need to mix through a console did, but tracking without one- or having ample interfaces for tracking didn't.
The space I'm in now is small. It's probably the most ergonomically offensive thing I've dealt with I think. Focusing and working here is easy, but the will to work and sit in one spot all day isn't. Is that about vantage point?

Absolutely. When I can overcome that limitation, everything else previously limiting seems immaterial.dwlb wrote:But the limitations I find myself facing are the same ones as years ago: the creative ones.

January through May is my tough work time, and between work, family, sleep and exercise time, I don't have much left for music. OTOH, I'm getting better at including the kids in music practice time and even in having them do vocal tracks, so there is hope of progress.
If I had more time, the limitation would be creating coherent musical ideas and getting them done quickly.
Cheers,
Otto
