BUYING NEW MAC! NEED Some quick Professional advice!
OK. So I got a new job and I need a new computer.. Where gonne be getting a MAC of cause, but what should I look for?
Im gonne be working in Photoshop doing concept art mainly. So Im guessing my needs is loads of RAM memory.. Also I heard I should get the NIVIDA Gforce graphics card 8800.
Any advice would be nice...
For all I know I might not need more than a Imac.. But then I wouldnt be able to run two screens right?
So what do I need to get a high end Photoshop monster tool?
(I dont want to get stuck with delays on brushes and stuff like that)
Thanx in advance!

Since obviously money is not an issue (you are buying a Mac) then I recommend getting as much RAM as you can squeeze into it, starting at 2GB and going up as your wallet holds out. Yes you should be ok with the 8800.
Nvidia or ATI? Well I thought that most midline GPUs nowadays were equipped to run two monitors....but maybe it's just the ones I have looked at.

To address that question first: you can of course run a second screen on the latest iMacs.
Your PS Performance should be ok with the 2,4GHz version equipped with 4Gig of RAM (it doesn't supports more). It comes with the ATI HD2600, which should be fine for work in PS. No Nvidia Gforce in iMacs afaik.
My general advice would be if you're windows experienced and want to save some money and dont want an built-in display - go for a pc instead.
The Mac Pro is ridiculously overpriced in my opinion but if money indeed is not an issue or your're happy with the iMac then enjoy your new mac. It's a great thing.

I'm also looking at this option. Here are some of my thoughts and research:
- I don't think a high end graphics card is necessary for photoshopping, these are aimed mostly at the 3d/gaming side of things.
- RAM is always nice, the more the merrier. Just check whether the Photoshop Mac version has a usage limit (shouldn't be an issue).
- The system I'm contemplating is a MacBook Pro 15.4" 2.4 Ghz (the new ones, cheapest model) along with a 20"/23" Cinema display. Should give you enough USB ports, plus the MBPs come standard with 2GB of memory instead of one. This also allows a dual screen setup, and if you get the 17" MBP with LED screen you can configure it to have exactly the same resolution as your Cinema Display, both 20" and 23" models. Lastly it's portable. Cons are ultra super expensive costs and there are a few trade offs. Your HD won't be as fast unless you order a faster one (extra ching) and your performance takes a slight dip (guessing about 5-10%) over the iMac equivalent due to mobile tech. Still, unless you're working with A1 300 dpi posters, I don't really see how this'll be a huge issue.
hope this helps some, just a thought though.

Have you used a Mac before? I'm not sure why you think it has to be a Mac. In fact, most people in the concept world use PCs, due to the fact that their machine needing to do 3D content creation as well.
Also, you have really awesome opportunity in PC space to buy a machine that is much more useful for your endeavors then a boring iMac. You can buy a Tablet PC. The benefits of TPC over an iMac is way greater than it's defecits:
1. Draw/paint right on the screen
2. You can be mobile
3. You get much better bang for the buck
20" iMac is $1500, and you can't do 1 or 2 from above. And the $1300 Gateway C-141XL already comes with 3GB of RAM. The iMac comes with only 1GB, way too little for art.
If you are already a Mac user, then ignore all that above. I don't want to talk folks into switching platforms for no reason. But if you are a PC person, I think it might not be the best decision to buy a Mac just because you have to do art.

He wants to buy a Mac and wants some advice on the configuration, not stupid statement like 'Dude, you should rather get a PC!'
IMO a Macbook pro (yes a laptop so you can carry it around) with 4Gigs is great. But I heard there is going to be a big upgrade for the laptops from Apple this summer, so better wait a bit.

ikuru, Macs last a long time. Best thing to do is to buy the biggest most powerful Mac you can get your hands on that you can afford (then work it to death), with 2-4 gig of ram, and TWO drives as big as you can afford installed--and I mean BIG. The extra graphics card is only necessary (I think) if you want to run multiple 30" screens. Otherwise, you should be fine for multiple 20"-24"s.
Keep the primary reason you're getting a comp in front of you when you make a decision...work, longevity, work, stability, adaptability, work...and a lot of the stuff (accessories) meant for non-Macs will still work with an Intel Mac, so you're not cutting off all your supply possibilities.
For what you want to do, laptops are just toys as far as I'm concerned. They're nice, but you aren't going to be doing serious work on somebody's front steps, so why waste the money and add the increased possibility of damage or theft? And every time I look at the laptops in the media, it seems there's a problem with batteries, overheating, the screens, or some other little thing. And the screen can only be so big, so right there, you're limited.

First I want to thak u all for chipping in your knowledge! Thanks!
Now, I need to be more specific...
We are buyng a Stationary Mac (not a PC and not a Laptop (I Have a mac laptop at home and it works like a charm)).
Question: Are you sure I can run an external screen on the Imac (Im not talking about duplicating screen, but running it on its own)?
And is the Imac really Enough for the task? Or is it worth the xtra money to buy the Mac Pro (I am planing to have 4 gig of ram)?
Money is not the main concern here...
The Main concern is: to get a Stationary mac Machine with the right specs, in order to be able to do pretty much Anything in Photoshop with out memory chokes and delays.
Ilaekae, Are u saying I should get 2 hard drives? If so, Why do I need that?
And Thank u all again for the kind support.

ps. If i can suggest one thing, invest in the big screen. I used to love to draw on a 12 powerbook, but then I bought my 24in imac and I can't believe I ever used to draw so small. Bigger is better.

But then again, it sounds like he doesn't want a laptop either so I guess we both failed.
Like I said, I don't care about switching people from platform to platform. You stick with what you're happy with. I just like to remind digital painters and sketchers about affordable draw/paint directly on the screen options.
As for desktop Macs, there is this giant chasm between the Mac Pros and Mac Minis that's been there for ages. You either get a server motherboard that uses FB DIMM memory platform (total overkill for none server work and actually robs performance with it's serial to parallel transition) with 8 DIMM slots or a a Mini ITX mobo with two SODIMM slots.
There is also iMacs, but they come with screens that you may or may not need (if you have a great screen, then it's sort of a waste). Also, iMacs don't use desktop components except for the hard drive. The CPU, RAM, mobo and videocard all come from laptop component world.
So as someone looking into a Mac desktop, you have to determine if the type of work you are doing and apps you are using necessitates a Mac Pro, which is this gigantic box with server components, or if you can make do with a Mac Mini or iMac, which are laptop components in desktop clothing. There's nothing in the middle (boy, Mac -land could use a proper Cube successor right about now).
So most end up deciding that an iMac works for them. But be aware that iMac only has 2 SODIMM slots so if your work needs more RAM than 4GB, it's not possible right now. If you tend to do super high resolution print work, you need to step up to a Mac Pro, which will let you physically use more than 4GB of RAM. Also, if you need to do any kind of serious 3D content creation work, you need to go Mac Pro, with it's proper PCIe 16X video card slots.
March 21st, 2008 #18
Then, to clarify, let me speak from experience that the iMac should be totally fine for almost all kinds of digital painting. 4GB of RAM is fine, the onboard graphics processor is enough for anything (maybe even some basic 3d work, but then there's the emptiness in the 3d shelves for Mac OS). The screen is better than anything affordable you would have to buy in order to accompany the alternative PC solution. The price is fine for what you get and with Leopard and Photoshop CS3 you get the best performance ever achieve in the application's history. That's why people buy the new iMacs. Because despite the lasting criticism, there are reasons for Macs.

Check the refurbished section in the apple store. I just bought a pro tower with 2 dual core xeon processors with 1 gig of RAM and a 250gb HD for $1800. You can buy extra RAM and a hard drive for a couple hundred and save loads of cash instead of buying one brand new. The beauty part about refurbished machines is that you know that it was torn apart and inspected piece by piece so it's going to be a solid machine when you get it. I also bought a 23" Apple HD Cinema Display for $800 and have it paired with a 19" Sony/DELL monitor so I have 33" horizontal inches of desktop space and I can't tell you how much I love my new machine. It blows away my old dual proc G4 tower with 2 19" monitors.

You can order 4GB of PC2-5300 SODIMM from Newegg for around $80 (yes, works fine in Macs). No reason to add any RAM from Apple in BTO.

You can save a thousand dollars but hunting around a bit locally for used macs that are powerhouses. Then you can use the money you save to buy a tablet or programs.

The iMac is good enough, but you are way better off getting more than you need.
The sweet thing about macs is that they keep working well into their obsolete years.
If you ever want to upgrade your iMac 5 years from now, you are going to be frustrated.
There is only so much space available in there.
We think 4 gigs of ram is fine now, but in 5 years, it may be nothing.
I have photo apps that require 2 gigs of ram just to open.

Ikuru, I completely missed this question the first time around...sorry...
"Ilaekae, Are u saying I should get 2 hard drives? If so, Why do I need that?"
I'm an old-fashioned "cover-my-ass" type, and so I automatically get matching hard drives installed in my towers. The drive is the weak spot on any comp, and with two, I can continue working on deadline if one blows, even though I may lose some material permanently or temporarily. I carry enough duplication of active work on both drives to salvage at least something.

I'm sporting a macbookpro myself and I work as a in-house concept designer at Frozenbyte. I just grab it along every morning and throw it on my desk at work and connect a second monitor ( most of the time I work on the laptop monitor though ). It get's the job done extremely well.
March 27th, 2008 #28
ikuru: I thought I was kinda biased in my previous posts, so: If you can invest the extra money, get a Mac Pro. The iMac is fine, but considering that the iMac is somehow what my Macbook is, I have experienced some slowdowns when I was painting really fast and repetitive, while on the Mac Pro that I use at work, no slowdowns have occured whatsoever. If you can, go Pro. Most likely you won't be disappointed.

Hamilton Beach 932 Customer Reviews
"I have used this professionally at McCormick and Schmick's for a number of years. Now, even though I don't bartend anymore, this remains a great item for creating the best juice based cocktails on the planet. Nothing beats a fresh squeezed margarita or mojito... Product is also very durable and overall easy to maintain."
"Unit juices limes, lemons, tangerines, oranges and grapefruits easily and quickly. Clean up is fast so this won't end up as an expensive dust collector. Fresh juice really tastes great. The grapefruit size factor is easily solved by buying grapefruits the size of large oranges. If the press diameter was slightly larger, this would not be a consideration. That's the reason for the 4 star rating. It's sturdy and smooth operating. Very satisfied with the utility of the juicer. Happy I bought one."

Wouldn't heave to in 25 knots of wind.

Rep Power:
The fundamental premise seems to be wrong. When hove to, the main and the rudder oppose the backed headsail. The jib wants to push the nose off the wind. The main and rudder together push the nose toward the wind. When all is in balance, it's hove to, and all that's left is a slow forereach. At this point, the main is filled and working.
If you were able to reef the main then, the forces will no longer be in balance. The jib would push the nose off the wind.
You've already solved the second problem, that of reefing. Go back out and see if you can't get it to heave to, with the main working against the backed jib.

This is what's so great about Nintendo: they can do it all on their own content.

The injury-plagued Rangers acquired minor league forward Francois Bouchard from the Washington Capitals for minor league defenseman Tomas Kundratek. New York has been playing without forwards Mike Rupp (knee) and Wojtek Wolski (groin), who are both scheduled for surgery this week. The 23-year-old Bouchard, chosen by Washington in the second round of the 2006 draft, has yet to make his NHL debut. In 227 career games for Hershey of the AHL, the right wing had 49 goals and 112 points. Kundratek, 21, also is waiting to make it to the NHL after being taken by the Rangers in the third round of the 2008 draft. He has played 77 games for Connecticut of the AHL, posting two goals and 12 assists. Kundratek was sent to Hershey by the Capitals.

The first step of app development is to correctly get access to SharePoint client context. I have struggled to develop a simple model to initialize the SharePoint Client context. Most of the App development includes ASP Master pages. So I need to figure out a working model for app development.
First, you need to know how SharePoint offers the contextString. contextString offers when SharePoint gets redirected from appredirect.aspx URL.
Example: https://rajee.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/appredirect.aspx?instance_id={B0D5D768-303F-4AE7-A4D3-F94B687C6AB3
At that point, we need to capture the contextString and generate either AccessToken or RefreshToken and save it for accessing the SharePoint Client Context at a later time. Otherwise, it will result in generating the error The parameter 'token' cannot be a null or empty string (This is a nasty error which drove me crazy.).
Normally AccessToken is valid for 12 hours and RefreshToken is valid for 6 months.
In my approach, I used another key which is called as CacheKey to identify the user uniquely. Therefore I use this value to maintain a cookie based on the user.
Reference: Tips and FAQs: OAuth and remote apps for SharePoint 2013
The following shows my approach to do this. If you have a master page, you need to put the code in the onInit() rather than page load.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
var key = Session["CashKey"];
// sharepoint url (app hosted url)
var hostWeb = Page.Request["SPHostUrl"];
// Sharepoint url with app Title (app deployed sp url)
Uri SharePointUri = new Uri(hostWeb + "/SharePointApp1/");
// This is first time the app is running
if (key == null)
// get the TokenString
var contextTokenString = TokenHelper.GetContextTokenFromRequest(Page.Request);
// Get the contexttoken by passing the token string
var contextToken = TokenHelper.ReadAndValidateContextToken
(contextTokenString, Request.Url.Authority);
//Since some browsers does not support cookie name more than 40 chars
// Im taking first 40 chars
var cookieName = contextToken.CacheKey.Substring(0, 40);
//Add User specific cookie name to the Session
Session.Add("CashKey", cookieName);
// Get the Refresh Token
var refreshToken = contextToken.RefreshToken;
// Add the cookie value (refresh Token)
Response.Cookies.Add(new HttpCookie(cookieName, refreshToken));
// USER already in the application, means it is not getting redirect from the appRedirect
// So contextstring is null
This is code for button click.
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
// sharepoint url (app hosted url)
var hostWeb = Page.Request["SPHostUrl"];
// Sharepoint url with app name (app deployed sp url)
Uri SharePointUri = new Uri(hostWeb + "/SharePointApp1/");
// Get the cookie name from the session
var key = Session["CashKey"] as string;
// Get the refresh token from the cookie
var refreshToken = Request.Cookies[key].Value;
//Get the access Token By passing refreshToken
// 00000003-0000-0ff1-ce00-000000000000 is principal name for SP2013 it is unique
var accessToken = TokenHelper.GetAccessToken(refreshToken,
SharePointUri.Authority, TokenHelper.GetRealmFromTargetUrl(SharePointUri));
// Access the Sharepoint Do your work
using (var clientContext = TokenHelper.GetClientContextWithAccessToken
("https://rajee.sharepoint.com/SharepointApp1", accessToken.AccessToken))
clientContext.Load(clientContext.Web, web => web.Title);
Note: In the middle of the app, if the context is broken due to expiration or some other case you need to initialize the app from the AppRedirect, therefore you can:
var hostWeb = Page.Request["SPHostUrl"];
var val = TokenHelper.GetAppContextTokenRequestUrl(hostWeb, Server.UrlEncode(Request.Url.ToString()));

Here's how RW members rated this race (3 votes).
In short: Hilly trail but good funIn full: A fairly hilly trail race made muddy by the recent rain. I have learnt to love the mud and went prepared in my trail trainers, some runners had very shiny new trainers that were rather muddy by he end. Quite expensive as far as 10k races go but very good organisation and a fab goody bag with a well fitting ladies tech t-shirt. Really enjoyed the race and will probably do it again next year, the race welcomed all runners from super fast club runners to the first timers at an event. Support around the course was good and plenty of water available (in bottles). Date of review: August 3, 2014
In short: Brilliant atmosphere, brilliant organisationIn full: My second race in this series this year and both were fantastic examples of how races should be run - well organised, very friendly atmosphere, very supportive spirit, and really motivating. This is a hilly trail course, so a PB is unlikely, but it's a good one to do for the fun of the run. I will 100% be doing more WR10k events in the future. Date of review: August 2, 2014
In short: Great mix of everything In full: This was a great run to do. There were several different pacemakers to help you get your target time and the course was great to run on. Would definitely like to do it again. Date of review: July 5, 2014

The current study extends research by Stone [Cross-disciplinary perspectives on autism? Journal of Pediatric Psychology, 12, (1988) 615; A comparison of teacher and parent views of autism. Journal of Autism and Development Disorders, 18, (1988) 403] exploring the knowledge and beliefs about autism across multiple health care professions. One hundred and eleven CARD personnel (i.e., professional with the Center for Autism Related Disabilities, CARD), specialists (i.e., psychiatry, speech and language pathology, and clinical psychology), and primary health care providers (i.e., family practice, pediatrics, and neurology) completed a measure assessing knowledge of diagnostic criteria, course, treatment, and prognosis of autism. Results indicated that all three groups reflected accurate endorsement of the DSM-IV criteria. Primary health care providers and specialists were found to differentially endorse a variety of statements regarding prognosis, course, and treatment in comparison with CARD. Overall, primary providers demonstrated the greatest number of differences. Clinical implications and future recommendations are discussed.

When thy last breath parts this earthen vessel of clay; greater things await for those who passed in faith.
Aint No Grave Gonna Hold My Body Down.
Shadows spilled across the potters field like black coffee,
As three priests dressed like clowns practiced their mime.
The sinking sun appeared to weep as it kissed the ground
and the white crows from the vicars parish fell dead from flight.
Macabre death whispered sweet its melancholic tune
as the promise of not another day crept cold into the night.
Silver stars formed omens in the now ink black sky,
as one white crow was resurrected, yet forbade to fly.
To and fro from stone to stone, it walked cawing out at the unknown graves.
Soon the grounds began to rumble and the heavens did shake,
as the once joking priest now fell terrified upon their face.
One by one, each tomb, each grave now opened with the calling of a name.
Bodies once held sound in the cold dank darkness of hallowed ground,
now rose skyward like papal smoke, freed at last, no longer in death bound.
Called forth in transformation by the Masters proclamation,
called forth into a new day by their faith through salvation.
Summoned now in rapture were they, by the most high.
Called now home to an eternal glory in the sweet by and by.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
In tandem with the movies come the games, and this time, Bethesda with its PS2 title swashbuckles against Disney's Buena Vista game with its PSP title. Who has the cooler, plastered pirate who can gather up all pieces to a treasure map (your goal in the games)? Ultimately, neither. Sure, in both games, the developers get the surprised, alcohol-ridden moves down in their animations, so much so that you occasionally feel that you are Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow. In Dead Man's Chest for the PSP, you're not out to rescue the governor's daughter as in Black Pearl. Instead, Jack Sparrow has his own demons to deal with as he tries to save himself from becoming an undead pirate/slave to the ghoul with the octopus-tentacled beard, Davy Jones.
In the PSP offering, the action comes fast and furious as soon as you start the game. Taking a page from the book of Devil May Cry, you'll fight against numerous pirates by pressing buttons madly. There are blood-curdling screams and spooky echoes and unsettling rattling which induce anticipationeven fearas you enter each room to fight your enemies. You'll climb up ropes and slide down ropes, all of which makes you feel like you're on a roller coaster ride. Or a Disney ride.
Yet there's so much hacking and slashing in Dead Man's Chest, the game becomes repetitive. The developers try to staunch this by having you do some puzzle-like tasks such as carrying a barrel full of explosives to a locked jail door, then lighting it so you can get inside for some loot. And the graphics are particularly nicely rendered with shading and crisp outlines, all done in widescreen format. But the swordplay becomes banal about halfway through the game, and you wish there were more story here. Heck, even in the movie, which is good, the swordplay can become tedious.
There are also camera angle issues here. If you get into a corner, you seem to become one with the wall and you can't see enemies that are coming at you. By using the buttons on the top of your PSP, you can move out of this predicament. But, really, the software should do it for youseamlessly.
In the PS2 version called The Legend of Jack Sparrow, you have a similar game of hack and slash. But there are more cut scenes to give you a better sense of story and action. Still, Johnny Depp (yes, they got Depp to voice act) seems somewhat lackluster when reading the lines of a script that's admittedly not up to the same sharpness as the movie's screenplay. In addition, the graphics suffer somewhat. Developers know that they can pack a huge amount of detail into the art in a PS2 game in this, the last year of the old console's popularity. Yet the visuals here aren't that much better than the PSP game.
If you're a big fan of Johnny Depp and of the humorously punky pirates based on the famous Disney ride, these may be the games for you. But I began to reread Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island in preparation to see Dead Man's Chest and to play the games. Just one sentence shivered my timbers more than anything in the software: "On stormy nights, when the wind shook the four corners of the house and the surf roared along the cove and up the cliffs, I would see him in a thousand forms, and with a thousand diabolical expressions." That's what the pirates in these games need: more "diabolical expressions." If only Stevenson were still alive to help out. Heck, if only the game makersor at least the games' writershad read Stevenson.
Jaws Unleashed
Publisher: Majesco
Developer: Appaloosa Interactive
Long before Peter Benchley, the popular novelist who wrote Jaws, died earlier this year, he had changed him mind about Great White Sharks. In fact, with a great deal of passion, he told a group at the Smithsonian, "Today I could not, for instance, portray the shark as a villain, especially not as a mindless omnivore that attacks boats and humans with reckless abandon. No, the shark in an updated Jaws could not be the villain; it would have to be written as the victim, for, world-wide, sharks are much more the oppressed than the oppressors.

Icons: Mick Guzauski on Engineering and Mixing Daft Punk's "Random Access Memories"
Talk about being in the right place at the right time.
No, we don't mean the moment Mick Guzauski got invited to engineer and mix the new chart-topping album by Daft Punk, Random Access Memories. We mean the countless sessions that the Grammy-winning audio pro worked setting up mics and capturing sounds since beginning his career in 1970. His CV as an audio engineer is impressive enough —┬Ā it includes Chuck Mangione, Prince, Barbra Streisand, The Motels, Johnny Mathis, Stanley Clarke, Deniece Williams, Patti Labelle, Commodores, Michael McDonald, The Pointer Sisters, Dionne Warwick, Kenny Rogers, and Gladys Knight & the Pips, among many more.
When Daft Punk started looking for an engineer/mixer to team up with on their fourth studio album ŌĆō and first in eight years ŌĆō the recommendation of mutual friend Chris Caswell, the albumŌĆÖs keyboardist and arranger, led them to Guzauski. The duo of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo got excited when they hopped online and saw his huge, genre-spanning credit list of rock, funk, soul, R&B, pop, classical and more. WhatŌĆÖs more, GuzauskiŌĆÖs credits in the dual role of engineer/mixer contains Michael Jackson, Prince, The Temptations, Earth Wind and Fire, Chuck Mangione, Natalie Cole, Kenny G, and Christina Aguilera.
But Daft Punk probably really had to come up for air when they added up mixing credits for the upstate NY-based Guzauski, which started in 1970 and then took off hugely in the late ŌĆś90ŌĆÖs, with Guzauski serving as the go-to mix guy for Doc Sevrinsen, Michael Jackson, Julio Iglesias, Stevie Nicks, Sparks, Neil Diamond, Talking Heads, George Benson, ┬ĀBoz Scaggs, Kiss Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Vanessa Williams, Derek and the Dominoes (5.1 mix), Steve Perry, Luther Vandross, Michael Bolton, Jessica Simpson, Ricky Martin, Pavarotti, Eric Clapton, Jennifer Lopez, Backstreet Boys, Boyz II Men, Christina Aguilera, Toni Braxton, B.B. King, En Vogue, Brian McKnight, Gloria Estefan, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Cream, *NSYNC, Cher, Bette Midler, Chick Corea, Alan Menken, Celine Dion, and Britney Spears.
The incredible depth of the gregarious engineer/mixerŌĆÖs experience mattered a lot to Daft Punk, who were out to make a genre-hopping journey of their own with the enthusiastically-received Random Access Memories, projected by Billboard to hit #1 this week. Their Grammy-winning electronic music career began with the 1997 album Homework, and has since produced three more studio albums spawning smashes like ŌĆ£Harder Better Faster StrongerŌĆØ and ŌĆ£Technologic,ŌĆØ in addition to their 2010 score for Tron: Legacy.
Based out of the Larry Swist-designed Barking Doctor Studio, where a Sony OXF-R3 Oxford console holds center court, Guzauski was actually only vaguely familiar with Daft PunkŌĆÖs work when the band came calling in 2011. But he was thrilled with the opportunity to flex his full engineering chops again, tasked as he was with recording all the basic tracks and select overdubs, plus mixing ŌĆō all at the legendary Conway Recording in Los Angeles. A 1972-born studio, ConwayŌĆÖs live room was the perfect tracking space for Daft Punk and their hand-picked live band, while the Neve 88R-equipped Studio C proved an ideal mix HQ for Guzauski.
The results that Daft Punk, their long list of all-star musical collaborators (Panda Bear, Julian Casablancas, Todd Edwards, DJ Falcon, Chilly Gonzales, Giorgio Moroder, Nile Rodgers, Paul Williams, and Pharrell Williams), Guzauski, and the elite engineering staff achieved with Random Access Memories speak for themselves.
A 13-track trip through music and time, the album is vibey, visual, far-reaching, and yet remarkably even-tempered throughout. The magical intro and groovy restraint of the opener ŌĆ£Give Life Back to MusicŌĆØ smoothly sets up the masterfully sublime ŌĆ£The Game of Love.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£Giorgio by MoroderŌĆØ is an entrancing documentary in a song, while the funky restraint of ŌĆ£Lose Yourself to DanceŌĆØ directly precedes the oceanic hugeness of ŌĆ£Touch,ŌĆØ Daft PunkŌĆÖs collaboration with Paul Williams. The Pharrell Williams colab ŌĆ£Get LuckyŌĆØ is already a huge #1 single, and a massive triumph for Nile Rodgers, whose smooth-voice-leading guitar line is an outstandingly satisfying disco dish.
ŌĆ£BeyondŌĆØ is just cinematic in scope at the beginning, before it gives way to a 1 AM buzzed chillout, with a terrific live drum backdrop thatŌĆÖs just delicious for organic rhythm lovers. The song ŌĆ£MotherboardŌĆØ is a classical surreal hybrid and a true refresher for the ears, despite having so much going on. ŌĆ£DoinŌĆÖ It RightŌĆØ digs deeper into other-wordly funk, and ŌĆ£ContactŌĆØ is a grand, all enveloping closer, complete with interstellar static and a true drums-and-synth-machine jam.
With mixes currently on his plate for Michael Bolton and Paul Anka, Guzauski was able to take a few minutes away from the Oxford and discuss his extremely unique experience: engineering and mixing Daft PunkŌĆÖs Random Access Memories.
How did you originally get involved with the making of ŌĆ£Random Access MemoriesŌĆØ?
A good friend of mine, the keyboard player/arranger Chris Caswell, got involved with them working on the Tron soundtrack, and he was working with them again on Random Access Memories playing piano, Rhodes, arranging and being a music director.
They asked him for an engineer that was familiar with all types of music ŌĆō basically an old fart like me that had worked with bands and studio players, as well as modern stuff. They Googled me and said, ŌĆ£Yeah letŌĆÖs get this guy!ŌĆØ So thatŌĆÖs what happened.
What was your reaction when you got the call from Daft Punk?
I had heard what their other albums were like, and I thought, ŌĆ£This is really cool, but why are they calling me?ŌĆØ I didnŌĆÖt have a lot of experience in electronica. Then we talked, and they said they wanted a retro album going back to ŌĆś70ŌĆÖs disco, with all live players. The idea was electronica based on live performances. I thought, ŌĆ£This is going to be great,ŌĆØ and I got excited.
What impressions of Daft Punk did you form while you were preparing to do the engineering for the album ŌĆō how did that inform your plan?
I really didnŌĆÖt try to preconceive any ideas about it, because I knew this one was going to be different from anything they had done before.
How long did the recording take, and where was it done?
We had a meeting first, and they had what they wanted to do sketched out. The songs werenŌĆÖt fully realized, but they had a lot of ideas down in Pro Tools, ideas for the band to play with.
Then we went into Conway RecordingŌĆÖs Studio C, and we were there for two weeks tracking drums, bass, percussion and keyboards. We had two rhythm sections: one with John ŌĆ£JRŌĆØ Robinson on drums and Nathan East on bass for a lot of songs, and then Omar Hakim on drums and James Genus from the Saturday Night Live band. The percussion player, Quinn, was incredible, and Chris Caswell was on keyboards (see the complete list of players here). Then we went to Capitol Studios and recorded the orchestra for two days.
How was Conway Recording selected — what was right about tracking Random Access Memories there?
ThatŌĆÖs where I did most of my work mixing and tracking in the ŌĆś80ŌĆÖs and early ŌĆś90ŌĆÖs when I lived in LA. Daft Punk had some specific things they wanted to do, include using a Neve console, which I love. They have a newer one, an 88R in Studio C, and we also went for C because it was a bigger room, with more space to spread out. The guys fell in love with Studio C, which is where we did all the basic tracks, and mixed too.
Studio C is also really nice because they have two nice-sized ISO booths ŌĆō we could do acoustic piano and drums at the same time, for example, with no leakage. It gave us a lot of flexibility.
What were the specific instruments you tracked, and overdubbed?
We tracked drums, bass, Fender Rhodes, acoustic piano where that was used, and sometimes some synths live. The overdubs in Conway were mostly percussion. Quinn has a lot of self-built drums and instruments ŌĆō all that psychedelic stuff you hear in the beginning of the song ŌĆ£Motherboard,ŌĆØ for instance, is actually all percussion. This guy had an amazing sound. We worked with him for three or four days in Studio C which IŌĆÖd say is 28 feet wide by almost 50 feet long, and it was completely filled with his percussion stuff.
How did the band direct you through the tracking? What kind of sounds were you going for?
They just wanted the sound to be very natural. Think 1970ŌĆÖs when things were not very processed, but think hi-fi too ŌĆō modern quality, but natural sounds. The drums we tracked were baffled off. Studio C is fairly live, but we also had room mics. We could get tight sounds if we wanted, but also use the room.
At this point in the project, I didnŌĆÖt know what was going where, so I wanted to track with the flexibility of using different acoustic perspectives later on. Most of the drums are dry and tight for the dance songs, but for parts of ŌĆ£TouchŌĆØ itŌĆÖs almost all room. We tried to record with versatility in mind.
What were some of the mic choices you made on the drums?
The kick drum we used an AKG D112 and Sony C500 right next to each other inside the drum, with a Neumann U 47 FET outside of the drum, and a Yamaha NS10 woofer as a sub. Those four mics were on four separate tracks, so we could dial in the kick drum sound that we wanted.
The snare was a Shure SM57 on top, AKG C451 on the snare bottom, AKG C451 on high hat, Sennheiser MD421's on toms, the overhead was a pair of Schoeps CM5UŌĆÖs, and we used a pair of Neumann U 87ŌĆÖs for the room.
We always went for positioning. We didnŌĆÖt use a tremendous amount of EQ, but really tried to get most of the sound with mic placement.
When it came to piano, what was your miking approach?
On ConwayŌĆÖs nine-foot Yamaha, we used a pair of DPAŌĆÖs over and a bit behind the hammers ŌĆō dividing the keyboards into thirds ŌĆō at about 15-inch height, and a U 67 back over where the bass strings cross. The DPAŌĆÖs were mixed left and right, the U 67 filled in the center.
How about vocals?
I didnŌĆÖt record a lot of the vocals ŌĆō the band mostly went to where the singers were and recorded them there. I did record Paul Williams for ŌĆ£TouchŌĆØ using a U 67, and for ŌĆ£Fragments of TimeŌĆØ I recorded Todd Edwards with a U 47. On both of those vocals I used a Neve 1073 preamp/EQ, and an LA 2A compressor.
Everything on this album was recorded to Pro Tools running at 96 kHz, with Lynx Aurora converters and Antelope clock.
We simultaneously recorded the basic tracks ŌĆō drums, bass, and keyboards ŌĆō to an A827 Studer tape machine with Dolby SR running at 15 inches per second (ips), and then we transferred that to Pro Tools. So we had tracks that were recorded directly to Pro Tools, and tracks to analog tape, which meant that we had choices on a song by song or part by part basis. Usually for the dance stuff they went with the digital because it was punchier, but in other places they wanted a warmer, less transient sound, so there we would use the analog recordings.
When we were actually tracking, it was all the skeleton of things. I didnŌĆÖt know what the songs were going to be. They had it in their heads, but a lot of the songs were arranged in editing. ThatŌĆÖs one of the other brilliant things about Daft Punk ŌĆō Thomas is a virtuoso in Pro Tools.
Was it disorienting at all for you to not know exactly where the songs were headed as you tracked them?
Not really, because we knew what the vibe was going to be.
After the basic tracks were recorded, they took the Pro Tools files back to France, started editing, and truly realized the songsŌĆÖ structures. Then they came back to LA, we did a bunch of guitar, keyboard and percussion overdubs for about two weeks. From there they went back to France for months more of editing and recording, and then they came back to LA to mix.
They set up a separate Pro Tools room, editing the tracks as I was mixing them, and sort of finessing their parts ŌĆō updating them as I was mixing. It was a very interactive process.
What did you like about ConwayŌĆÖs Studio C for mixing? Tell us about the board, monitors, layout ŌĆō and anything you did to ŌĆ£personalizeŌĆØ it for yourself.
Well, we used my own monitors throughout this whole project, the Guzauski Swist GS-3a. We used those for tracking, then the Daft Punk guys bought a pair and they have them in Paris, so they did most of their work on them.
I brought them to the orchestra sessions, and then we also used them for the two weeks of overdubs. We also used them at Conway for mixing. Pretty much everything I was involved in and what Daft Punk did alone was monitored on those speakers.
You personally designed the GS-3a along with Larry Swist. After several years of working on your own monitors, what are your impressions of them now?
TheyŌĆÖre small enough to be used as nearfields, and they also sound exciting during tracking. They have a very wide, flat response without having to use an additional subwoofer ŌĆō theyŌĆÖre flat from 30 Hz on up, with very low distortion. Larry designed a decoupling mount for the midrange and high frequency drivers. This prevents the low frequency energy from the woofer from superimposing on the higher frequency waves, which lowers intermodulation distortion.
TheyŌĆÖre a nice reference, and we didnŌĆÖt use any larger or smaller speakers. We took the material out and listened on other things, but in the control room we didnŌĆÖt use anything else as a reference.
What was the Neve 88R and outboard like for you in ConwayŌĆÖs Studio C?
The Neve 88R is NeveŌĆÖs newest analog console. Conway was an early adopter of the VR consoles in the mid-80ŌĆÖs, and a tech there named John Musgrave did some nice upgrades on the VR. The 88R is a VR that includes those improvements, and also some others.
ItŌĆÖs a very nice-sounding console, and very versatile too. This console has a 4-band parametric EQ and dynamics section on every channel, and a nice center section. Everything sounds warm and very clean, and itŌĆÖs a nice console to operate.
As far as outboard gear, this album was mostly analog. Other than recording digitally, most of the processing was analog, which was something specific they wanted and I think it really helped.
We got all sorts of different EQŌĆÖs and compressors, and auditioned all sorts of different pieces. We had a bunch of 1176ŌĆÖs which I used a lot, and I listened to specific ones for specific things. Neve 33609ŌĆÖs got used a lot, an API 2500, the Chandler EMI, and the Cranesong. As far as EQ, we had GML, Avalon, API, Neve. Most of our reverb was EMT 140 plates, real ones.
WhatŌĆÖs special to you about a real plate reverb?
You have to find a good one first. TheyŌĆÖre all different, but when you find a good one, theyŌĆÖre so warm, smooth and spacious sounding. The emulations are nice, and theyŌĆÖre always the same, but the real thing takes a little searching around for, and tweaking, but when you get it thereŌĆÖs nothing like it.
Plus, some of the reverb was CapitolŌĆÖs live chamber, which is world-renowned. We recorded the orchestra there, and then they also brought some of the vocal tracks back there and recorded the chamber.
How did it inform your mixing to have done most of the basic tracking, and some of the overdubs?
ThatŌĆÖs nice because I knew what was there, and itŌĆÖs easy to treat something when I know what I went for. It speeds up the mixing considerably, since we discussed the sounds and actually got them to tape and Pro Tools.
We didnŌĆÖt need a lot of drastic EQing. The thing is to do it with mic positioning, and to not do drastic EQs. ThatŌĆÖs one of the reasons that people are really liking the sound of this album, because itŌĆÖs very easy to listen to. Things arenŌĆÖt twisted all over to work with each other.
I take it Daft Punk attended the mix sessions.
They were around the control room a lot of the time. TheyŌĆÖd go into their Pro Tools room, IŌĆÖd set up a mix, theyŌĆÖd comment on it, and weŌĆÖd work on it. We would always leave it set up for the next day to finalize it. Some songs took a few days, some were quicker.
We didnŌĆÖt do any recalls, we just worked on each one until it was right, which was a really nice luxury to have. Because to recall something like thatŌĆ"even though the board has recall, youŌĆÖre twisting it back. And the outboard has a picture, but you never get it exactly right. So we got it exactly where we wanted. That spot.
We had a really good team, of course. Seth Waldman was our assistant ŌĆō he was an excellent assistant, a really good engineer in his own right, very knowledgeable and helpful.
Daft Punk has an engineer that was on the whole project, Peter Franco, who was indispensable. He physically engineered stuff, he was a liaison, he kept everybody appraised of what everybody else was doing. HeŌĆÖs a very knowledgeable and talented engineer, and he deserves a lot of credit.
Dan Lerner was their Pro Tools guy. You can imagine how many files there were, and things to keep organized, and not having to think about a lot of that myself was great. Dan was logging all the files, and he knows Pro Tools really well, so he kept it moving smoothly.
And the techs at Conway Recording were great, especially keeping up with the demands on the tape machines. We mixed to three Ampex ATR-102 half-inch tape machines simultaneously: the one at 15 ips had Aria Electronics, one at 30 ips had standard heads, and the other at 30 ips had high-fluxivity heads. They sounded slightly different, and we mixed simultaneously to all three.
Daft Punk listened painstakingly to every take, A/Bing, deciding which character of analog machine best complemented the song. In a lot of cases weŌĆÖd make different prints on the tapes using the same automation, but with different master fader positions for less and more saturation of the tape. Then theyŌĆÖd pick with print sounded best to them, to master.
Every time we changed a reel, the Conway tech staff checked the recording line of all three machines with an Audio Precision analyzer, to make sure the tape was consistent and that the distortion was low. That was a very painstaking process.
In the mix, what was the vibe you wanted to maintain from song to song?
That it wasnŌĆÖt overprocessed, and that the sounds were natural, warm, easy to listen to. It offers a really nice contrast between acoustic, warm sounds that arenŌĆÖt over-compressed or overhyped, and electronic sounds ŌĆō some of which are warm themselves, while some are more aggressive.
WhatŌĆÖs your approach to crafting a dance mix? What makes it really work?
You want to move to it. Of course, itŌĆÖs in the arranging, but the mix is just keeping the elements that make you move. I had a preconceived notion about a lot of dance mixes, that theyŌĆÖd be expecting drums that are super big and punchy, and everything subservient to that. These guys didnŌĆÖt want that ŌĆō they wanted it to be more subtle, nice to listen to, and not beat you up. They really knew exactly what it should be.
How do you apply that specifically to mixing the drums, which are so crucial to a record like Random Access Memories?
ItŌĆÖs the whole thing weŌĆÖve been talking about: tracked correctly, not overprocessed, although we did use some parallel compression on occasion to help the drums punch through.
My advice is that the most important thing is balance, and for the sonics of each thing not to get in the way of other elements. You donŌĆÖt want too much happening in one frequency range, not the same kind of texture and harmonics. But the most important thing is the balance and the inter-relations.
Nile RodgersŌĆÖ guitar is so signature on ŌĆ£Get Lucky.ŌĆØ What approach did you take to mixing it? How do you walk the balance between featuring it and not letting it overpower the track?
I just put up his track in the mix, and got the right balance! I experimented with balancing and other positioning, and working other stuff around it. He didnŌĆÖt have to be processed ŌĆō Nile just sounded great the way he is.
There are some mini-epic songs here, ŌĆ£TouchŌĆØ (8:19), ŌĆ£GiorgioŌĆØ (9:05) ŌĆō is there a difference in ŌĆ£long-rangeŌĆØ mixing for longer experimental songs like this?
ItŌĆÖs something thatŌĆÖs entirely different in every case. You have to know whatŌĆÖs happening in the next section, and what the arc is going to be. YouŌĆÖre mixing something, but youŌĆÖre conscious of whatŌĆÖs to come, and later on in the song youŌĆÖre conscious of what passed.
I canŌĆÖt be more specific than that, because you look at ŌĆ£TouchŌĆØ, ŌĆ£GiogioŌĆØ, ŌĆ£MotherboardŌĆØ ŌĆō they have a lot of different movements. The common thing in the approach is you have to have the overview of the whole thing, probably more so in those than when mixing several different short songs.
Last question: You werenŌĆÖt that familiar with Daft Punk before you got onboard with this project. What did you learn about Thomas and Guy as musicians by the time it was done?
TheyŌĆÖre very, very creative guys. Visionaries, I think. Daft Punk looks at a long span of musical history and musical future, they exist in several decades at once, and really put it all together. They also really know what people want, and what really strikes people right.
Daft Punk pushed me to things I wouldnŌĆÖt have done otherwise. Their direction was great, and it pulled me away from preconceived ideas of mixing, by combining newer concepts with older techniques. It was a good experience for me ŌĆō I came out of this a much better engineer than when I went into it.

Filmmaker Karan Johar says it is wrong to label his forthcoming production "Hasee Toh Phasee" as a romantic comedy. He believes this would trivialise the film's content.
"I think sometimes when we call a film a rom-com, we tend to slot it. I think 'Hasee Toh Phasee' is not a rom-com. It is actually a film about two characters and their journey and the way they find themselves within the world they actually meet in," the 41-year-old said here Friday at the film's first look launch.
"The film has a lot to do with the families, their journeys. By calling it a rom-com, we are trivialising the content of the film. 'Hasee Toh Phasee' is a coming of age story of two people in a very warm environment," he added.
Directed by Vinil Matthew, "Hasee Toh Phasee" stars Siddharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra in the lead.
