After all, a recording studio exists to record sound, and here I am writing about the studio. What about the sound? What, in the end, am I producing? On 29 January 2007 at 11:56 pm Leave a Comment.

Building an open-source recording studio. Ah, the warmth of digital…. From an audiophile headphone site, a couple of amazing (and somewhat inscrutable) threads on the inherent sound qualities of computer sound cards:. Looking for a sound card that is warm and musical. (Currently have 1212M). Upgrading fr Audigy2 ZS platinum Pro to Emu 0404 or Emu 1212m : Day and night diff? We’re observing the audiophile world, which has a peculiar, extreme consumer fetishism. In this case, the sound card has b...Like th...

Why not to run a commercial studio | Handcrafted Sound

https://handcraftedsound.wordpress.com/2007/02/03/why-not-to-run-a-commercial-studio

Building an open-source recording studio. Why not to run a commercial studio. Looking for a high quality recording studio between Portland and Salem with rates between $12-$20 an hour. And this isn’t necessarily very low-ball, either. The going rate for small studios seems to be about $25/hour, or $250/day. Imagine buying $50k of equipment studio construction and trying to recoup that cost, plus pay yourself (assuming a lone engineer/producer). Eek. On 3 February 2007 at 10:27 pm Comments (2).

Building an open-source recording studio. It’s the sound, dummy. Perhaps I should set the context here. After all, a recording studio exists to record sound, and here I am writing about the studio. What about the sound? What, in the end, am I producing? I’ve always found it difficult to describe my music. I can say a lot more about what it. What I seem to be, primarily, is what I’ll term a.

February | 2007 | Handcrafted Sound

https://handcraftedsound.wordpress.com/2007/02

Building an open-source recording studio. In technology’s steady march onward, older ways of doing things are abandoned, lost, left for dead on the side of progress’s highway. Yesterday’s tech is sneered at, put down, and said to be good for nothin’. The new tech is better, faster, slicker — and certainly cheaper, from a manufacturing point of view, being less expensive in time, materials, or energy. Kent’s LA2 compressor. Deconstruct consumerism. Question the traditional modes. From an audiophile headph...

Banging my head against the bits | Handcrafted Sound

https://handcraftedsound.wordpress.com/2007/01/30/banging-my-head-against-the-bits

Building an open-source recording studio. Banging my head against the bits. I didn’t get very far with the AM radio trick, it being too difficult to program, and not all that interesting, sonically. Later in the 1980s, I used my Mac Plus to generate drum machine tracks for some songs recorded by my friend Paul and I. This was wonderful, in a lo-fi sort of way. Finally, the largest problem I’ve had with digital recording is the. Firewire or PCI interfaces instead of USB. However, it seems impossible o...
