I just get it right the first time.

I wish.

That was a nice read, many of the points there contribute to why I record everything (even a practice run) you never know when the best take will happen.

Nice post.

Will you be using this for solo work, or for your band?

If you will be recordign your band I would go with the studio, if just solo you could get away with the POD.

+1 about fletcher

But then again you may think I am a hack too.

It is a 30 gig model...i don't know the name off hand.

He says so.

Yup

The room in some cases is the most important part of the chain. With that in mind I am saving like crazy for when I move and have my new studio next year.

Is this the one with the 3 way switch?

Pics?

Do you consider trades?

Good mags

Wanted: A good deal on a Bad Monkey.

Wow..long .

I should have some more stories soon, my band is getting ready to start playing shows again.......Should be fun, but we are not as young as we used to be

Sorry I have nothing at the moment....may change soon.

Wanted Peavey classic 100 head.

Looking for a crate power block. If you have one you want to trade or sell for a good price let me know.

Hmm...I should consider that.

I bet that converter does an excellent job, so do you run that through the optical input?

I use the Roland 2480 and a computer in my studio. To be honest the 2480 does the vast majority of the work and the clients are always happy with its results. That unit is highly under appreciated.

So do you use Roland mmp-2's with it, if you do you can run them through optical inputs and get better track separation.

I used to be a bit week getting vocals to fit in the mix nice, I got a partner to help me monitor mixes for a while and now I am much better.

I found that I used some guide sheets to help me get started with EQ then I go with my ears for the rest. So far over the past few years it has worked well.

I remember when I stoped recording people for free....I still charge a very low rate (I like to help artists that can't afford a expensive studio).

I used to be lazy at recording vocals. I would accept good enough and never push for better when I knew I could. In order to improve I started recording my vocal tracks with my guitarist helping me (he is a good producer and he helps push me to make things what they could be with more effort). Since I have been working with him I have found that I now also go the extra mile and no longer accept what I would call "good enough". Now I push for what I know I can achieve even if it takes many more hours.

I think he was too excited to hit any punctuation keys.

Never! Age will never get me!
