I am a pianist and a vocalist. When I built my first studio, the grand piano was inside the control room, so I could engineer and play. It took some getting used to, but it worked. I made several fine CDs in that odd place, which was carved out of my little house in the burbs. Now I live in a condo, and I've got a studio in the living room.

Does the label tend to shun the artist who already has a publishing deal with a third party publisher?

Hey, I thought I'd bug you guys with my usual sillyness since this forum is open to anybody.
So, here we go:
Why is tube gear(the real thing, not the hybrid crap) so expensive? Building a tube comp costs as much as a FET or VCA comp.
Time invested in research and developpement?

I’ve heard the quote “writing about music is like dancing about architecture” attributed to Frank Zappa on more than one occasion. I suppose that’s true...if it is, then writing about audio can be akin to “dancing an elevator shaft”. Audio, while a necessary component of recorded music, has damn little use on it’s own [imagine a building that was just an elevator?

I friend of mine tried upgrading from his trusty 9600's to G4's. But he runs massive pro tools sessions, and can only get 7 cards to work on the G4. This would be fine by many peoples standards, but we can't open session that we previously did with 20+ cards. Just be warned, if you want more than 7 cards to work on your system - stick with the 9600's.

Freeform is so cool, but when using freeform, should I be able to mute and unmute tracks while playing back? I'm getting streaming errors when I Unmute during playback.

Thanks,

Any other exotic gear freaks out there?

Hi all,
I have a MOTU 2408 and a 2 Tascam digital desks and a good pc setup . . my question is can I use the mixtreme card or mixpander for effects with my VST based DAW . is this an effective way around the problem of using native instruments and draining cpu power.

I'd like to know if exist an album fully mixed in Logic Audio. It seems that all "pro" recordings are produced in Logic or Pro Tools; and at the time of the mix, it goes analog (through a Neve, Trident or SSL).

I have no doubt that this consoles sound better for mix, but maybe is mitology or to amortize the price that cost this gear...

Correct me if i'm wrong:

here a couple of new ones
