By making a 7 song EP:

J?n Uilleam: "My Name is J?n Uilleam And I Have My Head In The Cat Carrier"

see here: www.myspace.com/januilleam
(I just made my first myspace page too. Where has my head been?)

There's some old-time country stuff, some rock and roll, among other things. Recorded in my little tiny room on many of the tapeop-certified staples.

Enjoy!

You've got some freakin' good stuff. I'm very impressed. Everything sounds good too. Your pedal steel sound is terrific.

Wow! One of your recording classmates told me you were cooking up some great stuff, so I'm stoked to be able to hear this. Nice work!

Hey Scott,

Ah, jeez, you're the guy I totally dropped the ball on meeting awhile ago. Sorry about that. Anyway, who do you know over there?

Jon

Hey, that's cool. Now that you're graduated, maybe we can make this happen.

I ran into Mason a few weeks back and we started talking about Tape Op. Of course.

Thanks,

Boy I would like to get a new mixing board now that this is done. (Mixed on a PM1000) Mixing on that board is stupid hard.

What makes it so hard?

No mute switches. Eq hardly does anything. No solo switches. Only 2 auxes per channel. Only 4 busses, which are actually main outs, because you can't assign say bus 3 and 4 to 1 and 2. You have to bring them back in on another channel first. And you only have 16 channels. Mine has direct outs on 12 channels though. That's nice.

Probably none of those things would bother you if you worked with an 8 track, had some good eq, or on a DAW.

Also, I feel like the faders are sort of too reactive. It's like, DOH! I moved it a 1/16" of an inch instead of 1/32" Start the mix over. This could probably be corrected w/ some different pots. But that's a drag.
