"Currently not viewable in your region"

Respectfully, Hugh, I have found that musicians visiting here for the first time are quite intimidated by being in a studio environment, and getting them just to come in and record some tracks with the minimum of fuss helps them feel more relaxed in a studio environment. I can relate to this. Quite ...

Love Sam, he's unendingly inspiring to someone like myself that is severely handicapped when it comes to the maker community. I find that hard to believe Ben - you are the very model of an modular inventor (with apologies to any stray Gilbert & Sullivan fans ;) ) :D I'm not nearly the Renaissance ...

Warm? and analogue? or dull and distorted?
This is the only bit of software I know that actually does make things sound better, not dull.
The PSP Vintage Warmer, it actually works.

You must go to his museum Martin, you get a unique melody played to you as you walk in, from a random synth generator!

That looks sort of interesting Ben, I do like the synth they make, I should imagine that filter sounds pretty radical, translate that as "full on technicolour"
Just my cup of tea, and I like it that all their stuff has built in speakers that sound really cool mic'd up.

The one on Jamica street used to be SoundControl I think, before they went under. Theres still Guitar Guitar at the Tron, who are big and do online boxshifting but then so did GAK :( Interestingly, Ive noticed some of YAMAHAs new kit is sold thorugh "an agency model". I dont know what that means ...

You need an angle, something that people are willing to travel for, can you rely on your local community to give you enough business? Maybe the ability to get on with the job without faffing around trying different mics and mic positions is the selling point. The artists just have to show up and ...

The energy, the knowledge, the enthusiasm, I just have to admire him, he makes me think that I don’t have any problems whatsoever, he has the effect of making things seem less of an issue, not so difficult.

Amoeba Records is tres chic! Congrats on the placement. When I lived in Oakland, CA, I visited the original shop on Telegraph Avenue almost daily. They took over the space formerly occupied by Rasputin Records in the early 90's. The change was cataclysmic and at first it was really hard to accept ...

Perhaps in my enthusiasm to ask a technical question, I didn’t give enough context. I approached the jazzers asking if they would be willing to come and help test the acoustics and setup, as the studio is not fully up and running on a commercial basis yet as I continue to tweak it until I am fully h ...

It looks increasingly like the Berry VCS3 is unlikely to appear, just heard that a customer who’d preordered one from Sweet Water was told production has been cancelled (Take The Fear Out Of The gear YouTube) And as someone said, it would actually make more sense to do the Synth A from a production p ...

I fancy Y-Not, my name backwards.

It’s now getting to the point, what with samples, MIDI files, and now AI, that the effort required to make music, the human input, is so minimal, you may as well just choose a finished track by somebody else, or something else.

Very interesting, always wondered about him,

For a start, you have to have something to offer, something that people are prepared to pay for, otherwise, why should people use you and your studio? give me a reason. Just because you’re cheap? or free? that’s no way to market yourself. This is a very complex situation, especially if you’re at the ...

So the irritating Siri can’t pronounce my last name properly. I’m thinking I should go with the flow and change my release name to the way Siri pronounces it. That way I know she can find my release(s) (well hopefully) Perhaps I should be grateful to technology for sparing me the endless agony of de ...

I’ve had one for ages, keyboard feels quality, don’t worry about it, it's a well made solid thing.

My feeling is if the OP is "only" worried about what type of mic to use, Hugh has given directions on that and as someone else said, any of these mic's will do a good job, then if he’s OK about placement etc then there isn’t anything serious to worry about, I think he'll be fine.

Martin, did I send you a link? I can if you like.

Yes please!

Just sent Martin.

Personally I've always disabled ads because I find them intrusive and distracting, but recognising the fact that SoS needs the money I've taken out an online subscription instead, I course I'd recommend to anybody, whether you disable ads or not. CC I find the ads annoying, but only the ones that ...

I'm telling you, buy a cassette 4 track. Then you find that you can't buy decent type 2 tapes these days so it is just as useless as an obsolete audio interface. Not to mention the fact that it will almost certainly require new belts and other rubber parts. Now a reel to reel multitrack is a ...
