Hello,

In an attempt to build a home recording studio, we ran out to buy a DAW (Mac, Digital Performer 3.0)last month. Wow we are feeling overwhelmed with the technology we have to learn given our limited background in computer and sound engeneering.

Wonder if anybody will be interested to give us a brief walkthrough of the system for a couple of days for a small fees?

I recently picked up a kit for my studio and I need to replace the heads . I'm a guitar player so forgive the lack of experience in this area. The kit is a maple GMS. A drummer friend of mine recommended that I use regular single ply heads for the resonant side .

Hello all... not sure if this is the best forum for this question, but here goes.
A client recently brought in some old 2-track 15 ips masters for me to transfer to digital, and I'm not familiar with the longevity of this particular formulation. (For example, I _do_ know a bit about mid-80's 456 stickyness...)

I have a chance to purchase a fully maintained and working 1970's 12 channel McCurdy broadcast console-for very cheap. I know this isn't a Harrison or Neve desk but it was a $30k desk when it came out-will I benefit from any character this desk could have?

Hi guys! I've had decent success working on a Roland VS840 but need more tracks and just got spoiled in Nashville doing sessions with a producer using a G4 and Logic. For around $1500-2000 what would be a good next step - I'm very comfrotable on computers but reading the posts here, it seems at times like working with them might end up being a money pit.

Posted this after reading your post in the nearfield post. Like most here I've done most of my mixing on nearfields, but I'm building a new room and I'm struggling with the whole soffit mount speaker thing at the moment.
Basically I'm wondering if you could ramble on a bit about mounting bigger speakers and perhaps recommend some brands I could look into.

Has anyone else heard of this drummer?
He's played with everyone from Coltrane, Monk, to Chick Corea (early Chick Corea, you know "Now He sings, Now He sobs).

Anyway, I just had to say he's influenced me more than any other drummer. And to this point I ask, what drummer's have influenced you guys the most?

I have a pavillion 128 ram, 30gig hardrive, running windows me, Sonar and every other software package known to man. (It's also my home PC) I also have a Roland VS-880ex and I move audio back and forth from that to the PC. The PC seems unstable. occasional dropouts. I would like a dedicated PC but. there's that money thing.

We've managed to get a pretty killer sounding fat keys bass that sounds like John Paul Jones (with the right player!), but using the Yamaha midi sound module that had the only workable bass sound I could find, this required radical parametric EQing (15db cuts and adds! ) and some other wizardry.

hi!

My friend came to me and asked if I would produce an album. His reference is TOTO! So in next few weeks I'll have to produce TOTO sound... :)

Please help me out with some ideas how is that music mixed and what kind of recording equipment is used.
