The best USB mic?
USB mics are for kids, man. At least tell him to get a cheap used mixer and an SM-58 if he wants to go ghetto. -
anyone twitter?
They're an Inc. 100 company. They have a large list of clients and are pretty well established. I know someone there - that's why I was asking you. PR as "education". LMAO, haven't heard that shtick before. I'm just trying to "educate the public" on something I may profit off of...- God

anyone twitter?
Shadeed, I thought you were talking about: http://newmediastrategies.net/ Anyway, this whole thread sounds like an ad for someone trying to promote twitter and social media. Good luck guys!- God

Your (reverb) techniques on drums?
Reverb is good. Also add a 50ms delay on the drums to fatten it. -
Alex Jones of the Obama Deception FBI harrassment.
This guy's a joke. Rules of thumb: 1) Don't think you're more badass than the Feds. 2) Don't think you're more badass than the Feds. 3) Same as 1 and 2. 4) Alex Jones makes a shitload of money hawking "conspiracy" bullshit. It doesn't matter if you think he's "right" or "wrong" because...- God

Transparency on the tracks
Here's where I disagree with you, if you can even call it a patent disagreement. I believe with enough training in front of a DAW containing decent plugins, like a good WAVES bundle for example, you can do wonders. Generally, the big studios are great for people that can afford them... -
Transparency on the tracks
I believe most people on this forum do not have the sufficient top-level gear to even warrant an argument on "gear." Many people can't afford the top-level gear you speak of. They can only afford modest or budget improvements to a Mac-based DAW. My idea of top level gear is something... -
Picking the arrangement of songs for an album and the argument I had...
Okay. We all know that when you arrange the song sequence for an album there's a simple BS formula that most label execs or producers know. It kind of goes like this: First song: upbeat/uptempo Second song: kind of the same upbeat song Third song: a little slower... maybe the ballad or... -
Transparency on the tracks
Not to beat a dead horse here... but if I were you, I'd worry more about transparency in the EQ-realm. People rely too much on gear these days and forget about expertise. True outboard processing is great-- but a lot of the greatest producers and engineers in the 70's and 80's worked in the... -
Mixing "to compression" and the insanity thereof...
That's just bad production if you let fret buzz come in or you don't chop out whispers in your DAW, etc. You're also talking to a guy who made someone rerecord the same guitar line in the verse about 40+ times and then chopped that to get the best takes. In the real world, probably 80% of the... -
Transparency on the tracks
a pre that doesn't color the sound is "transparent". any microphone that is not a Neumann U-whatever is said to "color" sound b/c everyone's ears is trained to a f---ing Neumann (this is arguable). coloring comes from cheap hardware not intended to color sound or hardware specifically designed... -
Mixing "to compression" and the insanity thereof...
I figured I'd divulge a little bit. Woke up early, went to the studio. On the way there I downed some coffee and food. Got in and started away at mixing. I was doing a mix where the AE had ghetto-"mastered" the track with a soft-comp on the entire song with some ghetto-filtering on... -
How does healthcare work in other countries? (Europe, Canada?)
First, I want to thank you for the information. It is extremely helpful and I thank you all for the input. Feel free to add more. Skid, I agree with your sentiment. Especially when you read articles like these: Harvard Medical School in Ethics Quandary...- God

GZA was the shit. He and Ghostface were my favorites. What about yours? -
Jon Stewart (Daily Show) vs. Jim Cramer (CNBC) - video of Cramer getting destroyed.
Jon Stewart was ruthless and the video of Cramer talking about manipulating the stock market is nuts! Probably destroyed this guy's career like the Jon Stewart and the CNN Crossfire incident in '04. JON STEWART VS. JIM CRAMER (CNBC) Pt. 1 Pt. 2 Pt. 3 JON...- God

How does healthcare work in other countries? (Europe, Canada?)
Can someone from a country other than the USA tell me how healthcare works in your country? Like: Do you have to wait on a long list for service? Do you think it works properly? Can you pick your doctor? I just want to know. We have a debate on healthcare in the US, and I'm just...- God

Adventures in kick drum EQ'ing.
My opinion is it's like a clique. No matter how good of a mixer you are, if you don't get with the "in" crowd, you may not make that type of money. This is where politics trumps the delusion of "if I'm good enough and I'm smart enough, doggone it - I'm going to get that job." This bullshit... -
Adventures in kick drum EQ'ing.
The Jedi stuff is meant to clean up a lazy producer's recordings :-) That's why some of these cats make between $3,000-$10,000 a track plus album points to strictly MIX an album. -
Do the drums always have to "bang"?
This is fully dependant on your mix and the type of track you want to create. Do you feel there are actual issues with the kick? Is it defined in the mix (if you don't want it defined in the mix, then that's your production decision.) Most of the times I hear cats putting a heavy...
