From mics to storage medium, nothing I've ever used on a "record" in the past...it should be very interesting.
Seeing as you're in the neighborhood...give me a shout on the "acoustics" thing. I'm no genius, but I may be able to give you a couple of helpful hints that could save you a couple bucks.
Acoustics are way more important than gear!
Hey Fletcher,
Thanks for the offer, For some reason it didn't occur to me to use you as a resource for this kind of stuff. I talked about this on another thread. You must know Mike Blackmer. For $600 he drew me up some beautifully detailed blueprints/plans for a do it myself acoustic renovation - with slanted walls and sloped ceiling around the mix position. Gave me a list of materials, and a non-technical explanation of how to put everything together. I needed that, since I know even less about hammering (and screwing?) than I do about micing and mixing. Hopefully I'll get some down time eventually when i can try to put it all together. Maybe I should try and bribe you to come over some time and give me some additional suggestions about anything you want (acoustics/gear/fashion tips/whatever). On the other hand, my place is so crappy compared to where you usually hang, I might be too embarassed.
