How do you deliver music to clients?

After you've created music for your clients, or yourself for the matter, how are you delivering the final product? If they simply want the aiff/wav/mp3 files are you putting everything on USB drives? If they want physical CDs, are you burning discs or having them pressed? If you're burning them yourself, are you using gold discs like those from Mitsui(or related)?

Don't you dare say music is dead !

I've heard that a few times when people talk about main stream, computer music, autotune and how the music business is turning to fast cash directions...

Let me tell you, I know a lot of really good musicians and as long as we keep the pursue of being the best we can at what we do, we will win the industry battle ;)

Here's an exemple of production/event I found recently :

Problem sending midi notes to external hardware in Ableton Live 9 Suite

I want to use Ableton Live 9 Suite to play some background tracks while performing live.
One track is configured to send midi notes to an external drum machine. This drum machine have a built in bass line that plays through a bass amp. I'm just interested in the bass line, which is triggered on channel 8 of Ableton (and other sequencers).

ADM 1540 Equalizer

So I was given a free pair of (what seem to look old) ADM 1540 equalizers today and I'm very unfamiliar with the product. I am not finding much info online. The ones I'm seeing online have the actual number "1540" engraved next to "ADM" but mine do not. I attached a photo. Any info on worth or the year it was made would be great. I've attached a photo.

Live recording, mixed at home

Here's something I'm working on for fun. I'm pretty happy with where the mix is going but certainly open to critique. Used an XLR split from the house mics plus a few mics of my own to my GB2R/HD24 setup.

Mixed and mastered at home on my 5.1 system, though mostly in 2.1 mode.

(Beware the F-bomb at the start if you're at work or whatever.)
