Everything else in order... phantom power is a 18-48v power source provided through balanced cabling to condenser microphones requiring it,

I'm glad you know this since he does not.

re-amping is only useful if you yourself are completely useless at determining what the right sound is, and getting it right the first time.

this should be reserved for fags like lenny kravitz. woo amp farm dude!

Decca tree micing, also unnecessary to get a good sound.

true it is unnecessary but there is no right or wrong way to do things and being aware of your options whether they be coincident pairs or 3 mic stereo groupings means you will be able to get a wider variety of sounds

The AT 4050 is okay, but I'd recommend the CAD E200 instead... it's even a little more transparent.

I have not used this mic (cade200) but every review I just read said it was rather unflattering and has a flat response with an un natural boosted mid gain. Not to mention they dont even produce it anymore.

The mic preamps used were those provided within a Mackie CR-1604 board... not the best, but sufficient to get a good strong signal to the computer,

What preamps? the ones alex used on those recordings? odd how in the two days of ims between alex and I he never mentioned even using an outboard mixer. he kept trying to sound smart and the more he said the more it was obvious he had no clue what he was talking about.

I have a 1604 vlz pro which is better than the CR version but is still not all that great. And I DO NOT record to a computer.

and the rest can be done from there.

Fixing it in the mix is gay. Digital mixing sux. Get an analogue summing bus, or at least read up on digital gain staging. Plugins are gay too. Get something outboard with a tube in it.

Lets all keep in mind 1) that one sample everyone is referring to has been downgraded from it's original quality, since MindSpace doesn't allow full-quality posts,

We are keeping this in mind since it has happened to every single mp3 hosted on myspace. We are not comparing it to the cds in our cars we are comparing it to the other shitty mp3's on myspace.

and the other 2 weren't paying customers,

What does it matter how much they paid he should have had some integrity and done as good of a job as possible not half ass it due to lack of payment it's called the learning process or paying your dues.

2) for his price point (under $500). the paying customers' recording (the actual recording, not the digital-warbling, low-quality version on MySpace) came out better than other "professional" recordings I've heard costing over $1000.

Hmm when is the last time brian or myself charged anyone over $100 for any amount of time from days to weeks?

98% these "proffessional" recordings come out like shit cause of the bands themselves. people think you just throw up some mics on the drums and press record. these people want to go into studios for a weekend or two they spend most of their time fucking around and then after spending the first 26 hours of a project tracking they never leave themselves enough time for a proper mixdown so the engineer pushes a few faders so the band can go home with a cd but in reality you should spend at least twice as long mixing as you did tracking. So I blame most bands for not budgeting mixdown time.

Let's keep an open mind, and leave the grade-school insults for the hardcore kids talking about the latest show they went to.

I never made a grade school insult I made a comment which was the truth as I knew it from an aim conversation I had with alex himself where he proved to be unaware of most everything.

Next time you want to sound smart.........try harder assface.(there was a grade school insult for ya)

I'm done with this thread.
