Whats going on? I know I'm new to the forum and all, but I've been in the game for so long, man, I'm kinda getting fed up with everyone telling me to get a real job. I just want to be heard, you know! I'm damn good at the controls, and I write my own stuff (I'm sure most of you guys do to!) Do any of you guys have any tips on getting my stuff heard?

They mention to do the following

1) Disable all shadow features(what the heck is that?)
2) Disable onboard sound cards. Will these acutually cause trouble? I like to use the onboard for listening to mixes. Sorta like the car stereo type thing. But if this is really a potential for problem, I should ditch it.

This is the name(in french) of a set of playing cards by Brian Eno who are supposed to help your creativity when you're stuck (for example assign the drum prog to another instrument..),but I was just thinking that many times great creativity comes from errors(Is it called serendipity?) do you have such experience and do you have strategies to let "errors" happen.

If anyone has experience with the Mackie SDR2496 and/or Alesis HD24, could you please let me know what you think of their sound quality? Also, is the device stable? Does it crash occasionally? If you've used both, which one do you like better? Any advice will be helpful and appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Anyone still got a pair of Auratones?

Hi! My subject pretty much sums it up. I've been using AT 4041's for this application but thought I'd like to try a LD condenser and since I already own 1 4033 I was thinking about picking up another and trying them instead. Any of you folks using/have used 4033's in this manner? If so how do you like them as drum OH mics? Thanks very much in advance!

as the subject implies, i'm wondering about the quality of the preamps in these old altec 1220 mixing boards

it's impossible to test it out in the store, so if anyone has any comments, please, let me know

Whenever I try to uninstall a program, it say's it can't find INSTALL.LOG. However if I move install.log to another directory then the install starts and asks me where install.log is and I browse to it. Any ideas? My quess is that more some reason install isn't finishing.. Like a service that is required by installer isn't running. Run Once? I don't know..

Opus,

Its funny how people always say you should send your stuff to the pro's but I've heard some work out of mastering houses that are crappy . They say these mastering house have high-endequipment so tell me how can they make a product worse . Out of respect for these engineers I wont mention the famous mastering house .

i've just finished the tracking and mixing of an album that i'm now ready to take somewhere for professional mastering. i've tried to inform myself as much as possible about the best way to prep and deliver the final mixes.
