Recording and live mixing full orchestra this weekend is a highlight reel thing for me. Tune in this Sat to WDAV for the hear the broadcast.

Geffel mains. Schoeps outriggers. Spot mics around as needed. Great sounding hall. Top talent musicianship.

Dear fellow musicians,

The recording studio is not a place of pixie dust and miracles. You wont get magic on the first take and will be REQUIRED to work hard to create the perfect version of your music. This is not a Santa Clause process. It's not a money commitment. It's a workplace.

Do work.

A selfpub blog is the most unproblematic and effective tool imo. The idea that it should be a social site will always lead to enshitification, and then the site collapses into Dead Internet, and you lose all your writing or become trapped in that ecosystem.

If not gunning for coin? Wordpress

I wonder what the collective studio billing hours were incurred while guiarists struggled to retune a Floyd Rose trem system? Globally for all time? My guess is 1000s of hours but it could be 10x or more.

Thank you Floyd Rose.

You should contact Sonora Cinematic and hire Emma (voice behind Emma Legato). Ive used their samples on several ambient vocal needs.... and her voice is that sound. Beautiful tones.

Spitfire Symphonic Strings might be the worst string library I've ever purchased. Maybe worse still was the money spent on Kepler Strings... also by Spitfire.

Not surprising what happened with them. Started strong. Then went all Jony Ive with the grind of BIG KEYNOTES. A shame really.

I think I qualify as a veteran mix engineer.... and a thing that has become REALLY clear to me in recent years is that compression is widely overused and quickly leads to a dead flat sound.

These are mistakes I made. Try to listen for it.
