Hi,I just started a Kickstarter project and thought it might be of interest to some of the readers here. It's to go back to Niger to do some more recordings. On the Kickstarter page (the link below) there's a video, and the second half of the video is a tour of the studio where we recorded the last ...

My wife caught onto my wide-eyed, dropped-jaw enthusiasm, my friend nodded his head politely, but I needed people to tell my tale to... Original Craigslist post that I found this morning... Record(lp)cutting machine for sale (crown point) cuts 33,45, 78 rpm,as well as masters , all hardware,(2 whole...

I recommend starting big and and making it as universal as possible to follow. Let's say you owned a piece of land. You want to get it surveyed not just where you're building your house, but also where the property lines are, for future development. You also don't want to draw a map based on that su...

Here's some things I don't understand: You have a signal, but for sonic reasons you don't compress the transient of that signal. Your ear supposedly isn't a mechanism that responds to those transients either. So you've applied your relative gain reduction in the form of threshold-based compression, ...

I just started a session with brand new ATR 1" on my MX70, running at 15IPS. This is the first time I've tried the new ATR tape. There were a couple hick ups that I've never encountered before (tracks all of a sudden not recording until turning the machine on and off again, slight "hick up...

Just as an update to this thread, I encountered some latency issues with recording, even though I was monitoring direct. What I was recording was being placed a little bit later in the track, and the overdubs weren't matching up. I had to click the box that said "Direct Monitoring" in one ...

The bass boost on the boom box might be the problem. I'm assuming the tiny boom box only has one speaker (even a lot of boom boxes that give the appearance of having a tweeter don't actually have one). Let's say the mix is a little bass heavy and maybe not as tight as other reference cds, and then y...

Does anybody know of a store in Chicago that has a comprehensive inventory of electronics parts like capacitors and resistors etc?

I've heard other stories about people having problems with Cubase and latency, and I suspect it might have something to do with the monitoring situation (ie. you don't hear a delay while recording because Cubase automatically delays the playback to compensate for the hardware), but the recorded trac...

You put the tape machine in "cue" or "edit" mode, manually move the tape past the heads and scrub it to hear an appropriate edit point. You then mark the back side of the coat with a grease pencil. You do this twice to find you in and out edits. Next step is to put the tape on th...
