Over the years some people have been really cool giving up their time and cash to make the site possible.
The following is a brief list of the people and companies that have been brilliant:
- Johnny Jaskot. Johnny’s done 95% of the USA features in some way, shape or form. Also a crazy driver 
- George Shilling for his brilliant reviews and interviews!
- Nigel Jopson for some amazing interviews!
- Claris of StudioExpresso.com. Saldy Claris has been too busy over the last year to do too much but the help she has given has been enormous!
- Jack Hale. Thanks Jack for all of your Nashville contacts! Drive carefully!
- http://photography-on-the.net/forum/index.php Without this forum I’d still be taking snapshots.
- Google. Thanks guy’s. We wouldn’t be able to afford the servers without you
The blog is remarkably informative, and has made so many little elements better in my work.
Thank you.
I have a small recording setup with a pretty good mixing room, but lately i am doing most of my tracking for people in spaces that make them comfortable.
One of the biggest struggles for me in the subsequent mixing is taming or reducing bright reflections. I can easily sort this out if they track in my studio room, but as i am doing more remote recording, it is a constant thorn in my side. I used to go in early and try to treat the room to ease the problem, but this most often results in the artists feeling that they are not getting the sound that they find appealing from their environment. More and more often, i am doing little to the rooms and am trying to solve the problems that arise in mixing.
This is further compounded when people bring in recordings that they have brought out of their basements or apartments. They want to fly in the performances because they love a specific quality of it, but the recorded sound is always tough to deal with, not to mention the sound quality from their home setups.
I know a great number of studio engineers that deal with this problem too, and I thought that if you knew someone in your circle who would be good to talk to about this, it would be fantastic to see a blog post about it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for the great work. It makes my day to see a new post.
