CAD Trion 7000
AudioGuru
So... The studio has been missing an essential piece of hardware, which, in past recordings, we've wished we had. Well, that problem has now been remedied. After much hum-hawwing about what should be done to get our hands on a good figure 8 microhpone, we found the CAD Trion 7000.
The microphone is precisely what we needed.

Alma : 42
PoeticIntensity
Man.... I'm tired, but I felt I had to read and write about a scripture today.
Alma does a great job of answering his son's question. "Why should sinners be punished?" All sorts of nuggets of truth can be found in this chapter.
Another great chapter on the justice and mercy of God is found in Alma 34.
That's about it for...

Yesterday, we received a new shipment.
Aren't they pretty? Our new KRK RP-8 G2 Monitors not only look great, but they sound completely awesome.
The instant I put the project at hand through them, it was instantly obvious what needed to be done to enhance the sound - and that is what good monitors are supposed to do.

We've been recording a bunch of drum-takes to be added to otherwise "ready-to-go" songs lately here. The latest of which happened to be a genre I particularly don't like much - country.
But, the music sounded so good for this particular song, I decided to have at it anyway - and 4 hours later, we came up with the final result.

Here's another really good one warning of the dangers of the previous entries, and further proving the point that at l...

All I gotta say about this chapter is man, I do not want to be on the wrong side of things when the 2nd coming of Christ is ushered in.
Verses like 16 and 18 really hit home on what we're in for.
I can only assume the destruction of Babylon can be typed as a metaphor for what is coming when Christ comes again....

I enjoyed this chapter as much as I did the last. I didn'...

That's true, and verse 1 of this chapter is Jesus' commandmen...
