Weekly Tweetdump 19

Here’s another week worth of Twitter activity from @theaudiogeek. Tons going on this week.

The next HRS podcast is going to be awesome! I think you’ll like it.
@joegilder I’m jealous, my content isn’t good enough to be stolen.
@sogoodmusic Of course it’s a broad statement. It was directed more to those recording their own music.
session postpwn3d due to lack of vocals for my mix.
OK tweeps brainstorming time – Give me a reason why home studios suck. [replies are below, list of who replied is at the bottom of this post]
- @theaudiogeek Broad statement. The quality of a home studio depends on engineer’s ear/experience, gear, type of music being recorded, etc.
- @theaudiogeek that’s cool– my comment was directed toward the people giving reasons why home studios suck. There are fantastic home rec’s
- @theaudiogeek home studios don’t suck. It’s all down to the person! Person with skills,can sound AMAZING anywhere.It’s all down to the skill
- @theaudiogeek if your working in the box – or recording gear directly they don’t . Laptop + good heaphones + good ears = studio anywhere
- Drums @ home = difficult to get good sounds RT @theaudiogeek OK tweeps brainstorming time – Give me a reason why home studios suck.
- @theaudiogeek home studios suck because of the lack of judgment used when putting them together
- @theaudiogeek compromises that need to be made in most home studios like, neighbors, acoustic treatments, ambient noise etc.
- @theaudiogeek no interns?
- @theaudiogeek acoustics.
- @theaudiogeek because it’s hard to do good work too close to where you f**k, unless you f**k for work, and are good at it.
- @theaudiogeek Someone accidentally opening the door while your tracking.
- @theaudiogeek The neighbor mowing the lawn when you’re trying to record. Or the airplane flying overhead.
- @theaudiogeek I’d say that most home studios suck because of the lack of education & experience of the user. Isolation isn’t helpful either.
- @theaudiogeek Home studios don’t have a dedicated, distraction-free space for working; changing hats is hard; and the acoustics suck.
- @theaudiogeek because you never get out of the house.
- @theaudiogeek well, my home studio “sucks” because there is zero acoustic treatment and I have to work with headphones.
- @theaudiogeek If you can’t think of a reason, it’s not a point worth making. Studios are better, but home studios don’t suck just ‘because’
- @theaudiogeek the initial start up expense however this tends to be countered by the freedom of using it whenever inspiration strikes
- @theaudiogeek Inexperienced engineers with fake it til you make it attitudes, poor Acoustics usually they lack quality gear.
mixing in 1 hour from now. Better get some coffee in me.

@AbletonTutor It’s not too often you see a negative review in a magazine, got to keep the advertisers happy.
