PMC ROCKS!

Well, I put the speakers in for repair on friday, but since then I learned that they have a 5 year warranty on parts and labor, so even though I have used them for three years, they're still covered... PMC ROCKS!

WTF!

Now I'm stumped. I am missing the bass. The bass speakers are just not moving at all. I switched out mixers. I switched out amplifiers, I switched out computers and audio interfaces. I took apart the speaker crossovers. everything looks good. It is some strange voodoo... maybe next I need to call an exorcist.... the bass speakers are not moving at all. all tweeter.

4 weeks in

helium — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 16:27:10 +0000

my daughter was playing with my dj mixer in the studio and it broke, but it is a great opportunity to start running the studer as the central device, just in time for summer vacation and 4 weeks alone in the studio... the first time I've had alone with it since I finished the installation. So I'm really excited about the possibilities for recording and am going to make a big push to get going in commercial soundtrack work, starting by meeting with some creators working around town... but also to make some initial steps on original projects.

Today it's 14 years in Japan

helium — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 03:01:30 +0000

Yep, I arrived on October 5, 1995 in Japan for the first time,
with a suitcase full of books and a Fender Stratocaster.
Now with a japanese business and more guitars than I can easily count,
Back in Tokyo, I feel the time has come to turn a corner and to start again.

AVEX

Last week the wife of the director of AVEX TRAX came by to see the studio.
What a nice surprise! All of a sudden on a Thursday evening when I was working
on a closet door in the warehouse, and M had the contents of ten drawers out for
reorganization, the call came in... can we come around in 5 minutes?
Sure! We'll just throw everything in the bedroom in a huge pile for now....
And we made it through! She held little baby T and listened to some techno.
What a nice lady!

premix

yeah, well in the end I decided to use the trax as is, and do premixing.
so the mix goes throught the deck in three phases for added phatness.
business cards are on their way. time to go out and find some action.

pojacaaj! (pump up the volume!)

working since yesterday on this hip hop anthem from serbian maestro S.
It is a great workout for the studio because these two remix candidates
have already been released and it is possible now to compare with the dry version
as I edit. a snafu came up in the form of 16 stereo instead of mono tracks,
and I spent about 4 hours with my finger in the dam, suffering from waves of phase distortion before finally deciding to hard pan and channel surf with automation, so there is a bit of back to the drawing board, but the results are now coming back positive, and I have inspiration to challenge the original track in the next week
