Not a whole lot exciting going on this week in the audio world. I was at the MIAC/PAL tradeshow today and saw some things I can’t talk about but mostly nothing new.
MIAC/PAL 2010 Highlights:
Nuendo 5 was on display but I didn’t even glance at it (not interested) so can’t really say anything about that.
I saw the new Audio-Technica ribbon mic up close which was about half as big as I thought it was. Looks great.
I met Laura Clapp at the TC Electronic booth. Because she wasn’t doing a demo at the time I didn’t make the mental connection until someone said “I saw you on YouTube.”
I’m dead tired and my head hurts from the constant barrage of drumming, keytar wankery, PA system demos etc. I’m sure there are more things to mention but I just can’t think of what else was there.
Also I should mention I may not post much in the next 3 weeks because I’m moving to Vancouver and whodathunkit’d be a complicated thing to do.
Here’s this past week of @theaudiogeek activity:
-
I saw a younger, gay(?) doppelganger of Big Al
@allenwagner today. Strange to say the least.
-
@aniazmusic I’ll be there in an hour [in response to: Just ran into
@musicline at MIAC. Wondering who else is here]
-
I <3 ebow. Gonna have to find room in my non existent audio toy budget for one.
-
Now taking suggestions on names for my forthcoming spawn (girl)
-
what’s the point of having 1418 followers if none of them will speak up and tell me to get pizza for dinner. FFFFFUUUU
-
Dear Twitter: what should I have for dinner.
-
Looks like a cool thing if you’ve got a compatible phone, which I don’t RT
@RandyCoppinger: Any of my pro #audio tweeps using audioboo.com?
-
-
Oh yeaa Veal sammich
-
-
Anyone else going to the MIAC/PAL show in Toronto on Sunday?
-
@RandyCoppinger that project is on hold until I find a store I can try out a bunch of tubes before buying. [in response to:
@theaudiogeek Did you ever get the mystery tube mic working?]
-
-
-
Hey Tweeps what are you doing today?
-
“I’m sorry it’s a basement suite not an apartment” same shit
-
-
Nearly done my Nocturn 49 review, just needed some clarifications from tech support. Should be online later today.
-
-
New episode of Master Tracks. Great show on recording bands from demo to download in 1 day.

A week of Twitter activity from @theaudiogeek
-
Happy Mothra’s Day!
-
I coulda sworn it was Kenny Loggins that did “Push It To The Limit” but apparently not, just had some rappers here throw down on that beat.
- Girl! [I found out my wife and I are having a girl]
-
Mix delivered and by all accounts pretty kick ass. But now what am i going to do?
-
-
Sitting on the balcony auto-tuning. Gotta mix this song today.
-
-
I just did hands on Pro Tools troubleshooting for someone without leaving my computer VIA Team Viewer
http://teamviewer.com
-
-
-
that was a sour pickle
-
first day of working from home, doing my previous job. Getting the store organized without there physically being one.
-
1400 followers. It seems more followers = less interaction

Another week of twitter activity from@theaudiogeek
- AudioMIDI No-Brainer deal T-RackS 3 Classic EQ and Metering for $20! http://trunc.it/7mipz VERY useful plugs. Get these!
-
Finally bought my REAPER license. Only took me 450 days to decide.
-
Had the fire alarm go off during a vocal take today….and continue for 15 more minutes. Well about 15 min, we were on Hip-hop time.
-
-
-
-
-
Downside to recording with me is my wife will tweet about you RT
@ihazadoodle: OMG, it’s terrible! “Can we fix that with Autotune?” Um, no.
-
-
I don’t like coffee in the afternoon but coffee ice cream wakes me from my nap pretty well.
-
-
-
@peterkirn “That seems a stretch.” Why is that? Looks like it works perfectly and you don’t have to bash it like a typical pad controller.

A week of Twitter activity from @theAudioGeek
- Just when I start to <3 elastic audio again I hear “the change” and my evening is ruined and I’m back to manual chopping.
- for example: first raw tracks, then slight adjustment with obvious artifacts. http://trunc.it/7hl4m
-
This session got to 40 tracks pretty quick, not even close to done yet.
-
-
-
-
@rodger_brennan halucinations start around hour 16 of soldering, much faster when combined with circuitbending. [in response to:Is rosin core solder hallucinogenic?]
-
Session done. He brought pizza. Also I’m good at hip-hop.
-
@strangenotez LOL I don’t know. Being fast with PT. Not leaving while the rapper is in the booth. Paying attention. Engineering knowledge. [in response to:
@theaudiogeek what makes for a good hip hop engineer in your opinion?]
-
session a no show…so far.
-
-
-
-
-
Grilled cheese sandwiches FTMFW!!
-
-
-
-
-
Editing the newest podcast and man that energy drink burnout I had last night is really obvious.
-
@shadowhills was the case handcuffed to a guy in a suit? [in response to: Secret Prototype arrived this morning. Kind of disappointed it wasn't in a fancier case.]
-
@theaudiogeek it should have been. The fedex guy did peel into the lot backwards and block the road to drop it off. That’ll do.
-
Toronto Home Recording Meetup – http://www.meetup.com/Toronto-Home-Recording/calendar/13230845/ May 6th
-
After tracking drums at a studio it’s gonna be tough to do it again in home studios.
-
having a spare U87 to use as a room mic is the kind of luxury that I don’t want to be without
-
Doing some more editing for The Empire Shall Fall today. Love working for those guys. http://www.myspace.com/theempireshallfall

Another week of Twitter activity from @theaudiogeek. For your health!
-
2nd successful recording session of the day is over. Now it’s time to catch up on the newest Dr. Who
-
Back from tracking drums for Cardinal Chase. Sounds awesome.
-
I’ll be there cracking the whip. RT
@rileyibell: In studio tomorrow tracking first full band recording as cc!
-
FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU MF! New tube doesn’t fit in the mic!
-
-
@rodger_brennan its an odd mic, doesn’t have a name. I read a 6072a was a better alternative to the 6J1 in it.
-
@BenPeilow http://twitpic.com/1gdk8x – Looks great Ben. Happy the article was helpful.
-
UNEMPLOYED!!
-
Up early for the last day at Revolution Audio.
-
Do it! Record it! RT
@brendo_91: an epic guitar battle.
-
-
speaking of my minions…
@gmgranka where are you!
-
One of my AGZ minions wrote a review of Auto-Tune EVO. It will be up on the site before bedtime.
-
RT
@sonicvalentine: I wish there was a market for remixes of songs making them LESS radio friendly. I’d be really good at that… and rich.
-
This wouldn’t have happened if the tracks were consolidated months ago FFFFFFFFUUUUUU
-
-
-
UPS gave me presents today. And a customs bill.
-
-
http://hissandaroar.com/ Vegetable Violence Professional SFX Library. Recorded & mastered at 96kHz for stomach churning realism
-
@CaptainCoke11 re: trigger vs Drumagog. Trigger will beat it. Drum samples and sidechain alone beat it. [in response to:
@theaudiogeek Thoughts on Slate's Trigger vs Drumagog?]
-
-
Tip: running a Pro Tools system at 220V doubles the power, halves the latency and does everything twice as fast. But don’t try this at home
-
-
-
My Tube mic will be better than ever thanks to a generous donation or a NOS tube from
@rodger_brennan
-
I strained my neck reaching around the rack today. [not related to that last tweet LOL]
-
@ihazadoodle has mostly stopped puking, now complains about ‘too many boobs’. I don’t think I could ever find a problem with that ¯\(°_o)/¯

A week of Twitter activity from @theaudiogeek.

@Chris_Randall: Sigh. Avid buys Euphonix. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
-
I heard something I mixed after mastering from an online service. I immediately tried to null it with Ozone presets.
-
@sonicdeviant it didn’t null…they must have better presets
Sounded the same but mostly louder. -10dB RMS for a piano+vocal track. [in response to:
@theaudiogeek Did nulling it work? Did it sound good?]
-
@sonicdeviant yeah. I’m just so wary of flat fee internet based mastering. [in response to:
@theaudiogeek -10 dB RMS isn't too bad. Still pretty dynamic these days. Glad it didn't null...you probably would've been ticked.
]
-
I wonder how many followers I’ll lose by constantly tweeting to my wife…1363 now.
- Oh shit…. wife on Twitter now. Welcome @ihazadoodle LAWL best name evar!
-
- [reply from Sonic Valentine] @theaudiogeek ummm… don’t get that really friggin’ cool midi controller?
- [reply from Nick Meade] @theaudiogeek No, No… You deserve the Nocturn 49…. (He said slithering away….)
- [reply from Rupert Brown] @theaudiogeek if your going to get automap sure you dont want a device with lcd readouts for each parameter? (thats the best I can do sorry)
-
-
devoted Whimsicle Fuckery enthusiast
-
-
-
Anyone have a spare 6072a tube?
-
-
Today I’m going to track down the intermittent noise with my tube mic. Cable or tube?
-
@RandyCoppinger intermittent sputtering low level static or fizz. Mic on for at least 30 minutes.
-
-
-
@PodcastHelper Just put an EQ before the reverb on the FX return. cut off the highs, cut off the lows. [in response to:
@theaudiogeek very cool, how do u apply this is effect (re: Abbey Road reverb) within your editing tool or without gear? software only. thx]
-
-
I’ve been getting this stupid PT error message a lot lately. Every other time I launch it.
