  1. Just the color alone in all these shots is seductive. Great stuff. Congrats.
  2. Wavelab- (even the inexpensive wavelab Essential 6) includes an auto declicking feature that seems to work well.
  3. Some bands get spooked with the red recording light on. If you have that red emergency light flashing while recording it might totally chase the good vibes away. However, if you can fit a lava lamp on the back of the fire truck then it should work fine. I have an image of an challenged engineer calling 911 and then having six of these trucks fitted with mics speeding up to a drum kit- sirens on and red lights flashing. ...The studio first responders.
  4. Very nice write-up - even though the reviewer apprently didnt like the quality of the songwriting on the album. All publicity is good publicity.
  5. Two channels of premium A to D converters- Perhaps Benchmark Lavery, Appogee or UA. A high gain low noise medium colored 2 channel mic pre. Perhaps the Portico. Neeed high gain low noise for my AKG 460's and future ribbons. Mics: one ribbon and perhaps two multi pattern condensers ( All I have are cardioids currently). A single coil geetar with the classic strat tone. A geetar with p-90's for the "other" tone im missing today with my gretsch. I might consider the roland virtual drums. They might be a good tradeoff between the hassles of tracking real drums in a home situation and the pitfalls of programmed/sampled drums. I'd have tpo play with them a while to convince myself of this. They seem very pricey. Id spend 1500-2000 to pull together one real CD release of some of my existing material. 600-1k for pro mastering. 1K or so for production/printing/graphics. A couple of real bass traps. A mandolin. Trips to the tape op convention and /or SXSW. A years worth of sax lessons so i can pogress beyond the level Ive been stuck at since the 70's. OK - How far over budget am I???? Having said all of that I must say my B'day is coming up this month and Im deciding how to spend the next 1K. The reality is that my rig is quite capable of yielding very good results as it is. The biggest opportunity for improvment lies in the area of improving my skills. Fortunately or unfortunately that has less to do with spending money and more to do with an investment of time (for me there is way too little of that to go around) and discipline.
  6. I listened to just the first song. Sounds maaavelouss!! If I were to change one thing - Id try and make the snare sound somehow bigger. It seemed just a bit on the "small" side and not quite ring-ie enough.
