Tweetdump time again. A week worth of Twitter activity from @theaudiogeek.
theaudiogeek
- Quoting a chat with @sydneygalbraith – “projects without producers go nowhere, Schrodinger projects”
- @AbletonTutor http://gamingbolt.com/2010/03/05/amazing-god-of-war-3-footage/ Wilhelm @ 0:42
- @Obiwonder you have schizoptweetia. Who are you replying too!!???
-
Just finished interviewing & chatting with
@AbletonTutor for the next Home Recording Show podcast.
-
-
Looks like the best/only way I’ll get my Structure patch folder organized is to start from scratch and download them all again.
-
Maybe I’ll go to the mall to buy fat pants
-
My Saturday went from hectic to boring real quick. I might even get some chores done.
-
-
@chuck_russom I hope you’re not giving away some trade secrets with that one. [in response to:
What do I do when I have a hard time making a sound? I scream the Fword and other obscenities over and over again until it is magically done]
-
-
-
There’s not enough me to go around this week. Everyone wants a piece of this.
-
Too true, I’ve given up trying to fight it. RT
@sonicfedora: The myspace music player seemingly UNMIXES your mixes.
-
@monkeypusher69 TBH if the artist cared enough they’d just use a better player with files hosted elsewhere.
-
New episode of The Home Recording Show is up. Jesse records a resonator guitar and Ryan talks Vox Booths.

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.
-
Pretty hot today for “Winter” I’ve got the windows open.
-
-
@AbletonTutor It’s not too often you see a negative review in a magazine, got to keep the advertisers happy.
-
Misspelled Carpsicle which is of course a fish on a stick. RT
@gmgranka: What the crap is a harpsicle?
-
@gmgranka site? wachootalkinbout? I use FireFTP a firefox plugin. [in response to "Anybody have a favourite free FTP site?"]
-
@theaudiogeek I can always count on you for obscure and useful things. I’ll check it out.
-
Sweet! Last song and it has cowbell.
-
iZotope RX Declipper has been an essential tool on this project.
-
19 of 21 mixes done. So close.
-
-
I’m teaching a Free Vocal Mixing class next Wednesday, 7:30pm at Revolution Audio. Limited space…
http://schmap.it/R5m0Yz – Please RT!

-
130 posts to read in the rss feed. I think I’ll work on writing my book first.
-
New Home Recording Show podcast is up.
http://trunc.it/5lots This week it’s about Audio 4 video & recording bass.
-
hmm. haven’t done a time machine backup since October. I hope its done by morning.
-
oh my, Steven Slate has broken the internet.
-
-
Big gap in the market now for cheap 88-key MIDI controllers. Only 1 from M-audio. Hope some1 like Novation can get in there.
-
-
Facebook lite sucks worse than regular facebook.

OK. It’s been 18 weeks since I started doing this Tweetdump thing, perhaps you wonder why? Well here’s 3 selfish reasons.
- I come across a lot of great stuff each week and I don’t always have time to write about it, so a link on Twitter and a recap at the end of the week is the least I can do.
- I don’t always remember where I found something a week later, these weekly tweetdumps have been helpful for myself.
- I know my readers are busy and can’t always keep up with the posts, or you forget, this is a simple recap of the past week.
With that out of the way…here’s another week worth of Twitter activity from @theaudiogeek

- Hey man your flowers are being delivered I swear. RT @gmgranka: @theaudiogeek How romantic.
- New AGZ post: What’s New in the Pro Tools Instrument Expansion Pack http://cli.gs/SEL46
-
Good session today at work. I don’t think we stopped laughing for 3 hours.
-
9 hours of mixing today in Pro Tools and only 1 fatal error.
-
@CJLoy the fatal error wasn’t with Pro Tools, the client exploded on a landmine. Ha haw.
-
@CJLoy Seriously though, some days it’s a pain in the ass, but it works SO WELL for me in workflow. I just complain a lot.
-
Breaking news – Jordan Rudess is still a wanker.
-
Dude that is awesome! RT
@sonicvalentine: No brushes – Guitar strings and a stick will work. http://twitpic.com/12sv7u
-
I’m out of space on Dropbox so if you’re one of the 540 who just received an invite from me I’m sorry, it had to be done.
-
-
Anyone remember the cartoon Clone High? I loved that show.
-
@recordinghacks how about a followup to you’re Black Lion 002R mod article. Still disappointed?

I DEMAND SATISFACTION!! #futureshop #yousuck #iwantmymoneybitch
-
FUTURE SHOP’s price matching policy is a fucking joke. I will henceforth never shop there and I urge my 1200 followers to as well.
-
-
Honesty is the best policy….unless you’re dealing with a delusional psycho.
-
“Honesty is the best policy, unless you’re the producer.” Words of wisdom from my friend
@sydneygalbraith

Never had to turn down work before. This time it was in my best interest not to participate.
-
I finally found a worthy new avatar. BEHOLD!!

Some one wants a studio tour. I really need to vacuum!

@joegilder Chrome doesn’t work with a few sites for me, like gmail. Back button/backspace key does nothing.
-
This chicken noodle soup has not even 1 noodle.
-
@joegilder no man, this is some real lunch time shit going down. [in response to:
@theaudiogeek is that a metaphor?] &[
@theaudiogeek Dude. You need to start a revolution or something. We the people have a right to have our noodles.]

-
Tip for bands – budget for cables for your music videos, especially performance videos. It’s annoying to the engineers in the audience.

Just got my first “First!” comment on my site. What a great day.
