Following up from yesterday, $2,000 to $30,000 mics: who can tell the difference? Why do we buy them? Status? "Oh, this $12,500 Model QR-9X8 has a beautilfiul bump in the mids. A stock EQ plugin takes care of that! What am I missing?

Is very expensive gear is required? I say nay. Aside from the hot topic of mics, how about bedroom producers publishing from untreated rooms e.g., Keaggy, Grohl, Eillish? Where do you draw the line on brands? https://CoreZeroStudio.com

Haven't even begun to use this thing, that is, learn! Need to re-arrange the desk a bit. Got any good training resources? https://CoreZeroStudio.com

Studio Dawg Indigo on her mat, patiently waiting for a cookie (treat). Sometimes she dozes off, but not too often. She says the mix I'm working on is harsh around 35k. Go figure! Thanks Dog! https://CoreZeroStudio.com

Mixing on headphones? What are you using? Pros? Cons? I don't mix w/phones. Thinking about trying Slate VSX on Black Friday 2025. https://CoreZeroStudio.com

Now that UAudio Apollo has partnered with Sonarworks to embed profiles, I wish they'd let me set different profiles for each output. Next Rev? https://CoreZeroStudio.com

What are you using for a keyboard amp? I've been using an Alto Kick-12, but it's getting heavy. Looking for something 10 - 15lbs or less. Looking at a Peavey KB-1, but haven't heard one yet. https://CoreZeroStudio.com

Cellist starts with deep, mournful intro. Worship leader planned a fast opener. Band hesitates. Congregation begins repenting. Song cancelled. Band runs out crying.

Been rebuilding my computer since last Wednesday, 7 days! Almost done with software installations. Definitely an uninvited wrench in the works. Went up to the latest operating system anyway. https://CoreZeroStudio.com

Got some Adam Audio monitors with crisp ribbon tweeters (read: cut your head off hot). After tweaking the controls and calibrating with Sonarworks, they’re perfectly balanced and my mixes have never sounded better. Very, very enjoyable!

Getting lost in the intricacies and layers of albums like Leftoverture & A Night At The Opera along with the realization that it's someone's job to record, mix, and make it sound like that is what got me started! https://CoreZeroStudio.com

Helping you realize your creative vision is why I do what I do. It’s an exciting challenge to produce a completed song you love from nothing more that an idea or scratch track. https://CoreZeroStudio.com

Violinist goes full cinematic during “Reckless Love.” Band was not briefed. Congregation feels like they’re in a war movie. Keyboardist weeps. https://CoreZeroStudio.com

Sonarworks SoundID is a game changer. Using a reference microphone it tests points around the mix position and applies a corrective EQ curve, compensating for bumps and dips in the room. https://CoreZeroStudio.com

What’s the most unexpected thing you’ve used as an instrument? Spatula? Hairbrush? Over here it was a shaker made from a small pyrex bowl with a plastic lid filled w/popcorn kernels. Still use it! https://CoreZeroStudio.com
