The only way to really know if a mic will work for you is to try it out. Different mics sound good on different people depending on the timbre or their voice, how loud they sing, etc. This makes "a good mic" somewhat relative. When I got into recording, I wanted to get a nice condenser mic that woul...

Casiotone for the Painfully Alone.... although he might be using other gear these days.

Wow! That's a steal. What model Leslie is it?

One of the singers in Mika Miko from LA sings through a phone. It works very well and it look great!

The Copperphone one comes to mind, but it's $250. http://www.placidaudio.com If it were me, I'd buy some shitty vintage mics on eBay for $20 a piece rather than spending $200 on the same sound. For recordings, I use this a lot... it sounds great and it's FREE! http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/v...

When I was in the market for a Pro-One, I found one on eBay that had some "issues." I got it for about $300 and sent it to Kurt at kurtsamps.com to get it serviced. The service was relatively expensive ($250) but he did a really good job and I ended up getting a well-working Pro-One for $550. That w...

I got MG1 sliders and knobs from him. They arrived quickly and they work like a charm.

Magnetic Fields ( Charm of the Highway Strip and Holiday ) The Unicorns ( Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone? ) Casiotone For The Painfully Alone (any of them) Flaming Lips ( Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots and Soft Bulletin ) Grandaddy ( Sumday and Under the Western Freeway ) Air ( Moon Safari a...

1) You could buy more accurate headphones. The fact remains that you would still be listening on headphones, with each ear being in a different "room", but it would probably help.

2) Get your stuff professionally mastered, which is essential anyway.

3) As you said, suck it up in the meantime

Speaking of stereo speakers, is it true they all have some kind of built in ('untweakable') sound enhancer, unlike monitors? Yes, more or less. Stereo speakers and monitors have different applications and, therefor, different characteristics. For lack of a better term, the "goal" of stereo speakers...

Somehow, with VSE back up and running, my life feels a little more complete Thanks to all!

I'm not too sure about BPM because I don't sequence anything... If I had to guess, I'd say 90-100. The average length of my songs is around 2:30. Get in, do the thing, get out!

I, too, have never listened to Zaireeka that "real" way. I did, however, dump all four CDs into my DAW and made my own version. Of course, the timeclocks don't drift, but it's cool nonetheless. you mean like 2 cd's that interact with each other? tribes of neurot/neurosis did this...really cool. Yeah...

When I'm mixing, the first thing that I do is to pan instruments that occupy the same frequency range to avoid masking. From then on, I just experiment until the mix sounds as interesting as possible. I'm a big fan of the drastic panning that on late 60s Britpop records... listening to a song like "...
