I have one thing I can't seem to shake. I'm superstitious about crows. I have no idea why they spook me so because I have no cultural or religious background to explain it. I associate them with bad luck, and I feel completely ridiculous about it.
Best Answer
not in the least.
Best Answer
nope, but I like to pretend
Best Answer
Not really
Best Answer
I hold the belief that God is in sovereign control of my life because of my commitment to Him. This leaves no room for superstition ( or fear, worry, anxiety, or negative feelings or beliefs).

Grand Theft Auto 5 is almost here -- just another month and a half until launch -- and we're just now seeing our first real look at the gameplay therein. Rockstar released a lengthy gameplay trailer this morning, featuring everything from yoga to skydiving; there's of course a generous heaping of fast driving and third-person gunplay. Come to think of it, of all the verbs on display in the trailer, "carjacking" isn't one we saw in action. Which is a little weird considering the game's name, no? Anyway, we expect there'll be plenty of grand theft auto to perform when GTA5 launches on September 17th. For now, enjoy the madness below.

The last time we spent any quality time with a Gateway monitor was when the company burst into the 30-inch panel scene with its awesome XHD3000 (see our review here ). It was an incredible display, albeit long since discontinued.
Gateway didn't exit the monitor scene, it just isn't producing ginormous displays. Gateway is, however, launching three new ultra-slim LED monitors -- the 21.5-inch FHX2152L, 24-inch FHX2402L, and 23-inch FHD2303L.
"These new Gateway monitors give consumers a choice in style and functionality when choosing a monitor for their home or office," said Irene Chan, senior product marketing manager for peripherals, Acer America. "All three models offer advanced display technology that meets a wide variety of viewing needs combined with the power-saving features and an eco-friendly design that are important to today's consumers."
All three monitors sport a 1920x1080 resolution and, for what it's worth, a 12,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Both FHX models feature a 2ms response time, while the FHD is rated at 5ms.
The FHD2303L ($250), FHX2402L ($250) and FHX2152L ($190) will ship later this month.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Time New York City
Tiny rooms!
I book a superior room for four days and was shocked that the room was tiny! I cannot imagine how much smaller the regular rooms would be. This is the smallest room I had ever seen in a hotel. The superior room is smaller than a regular room in other hotels. I have been to hotels in Japan, Hawaii, Singapore, United Kingdom and many other places so I know about hotel room sizes. The housekeeping took ages to come but they did a good job in cleaning the room. There are bigger and better hotels out there for this price range.
Had a great Time
I recently stayed at The Time on a business trip and wound up feling more like I was on vacation. The service was excellent, the rooms comfortably modern and the bar rocked. I have found my new home away from home.
I had seen The Time on the Travel Channel on in various travel magazines and was very interested in the concept. I booked a superior suite for two nights, and ended up being in a "yellow" room. I was suprised at how small the suite was, and was thankful that I didn't book a regular room. The first room was tiny and had a small sofa, table, desk, and television. The other room was a bit larger and had a queen size bed, not king as was indicated when I booked on the web site, a small chair, television, night stands, and a closet contraption on one wall. The bed was very comfortable despite being smaller than anticipated. The bathroom was relatively small, but had a tub with whirlpool jets that did not seem to work. I understand the concept of this hotel and find it interesting, but they go a little too far with minimalism in the decor. Some art work on the wall would have been nice. As for the staff, some were very friendly and others were a bit surly and gruff. Perhaps they were having a bad day due to the terrible weather in NYC that week. Overall, I think there are nicer boutique hotels, with better amenities, in NYC for the same price.
Nice, but the Muse is better for the same price
It was nice. Very cool design. But the rooms were a bit small. I stay in NY a lot. So far the Muse is the best I've found.
Great place in great location
I booked the Time a good two months ago with my girlfriend for 5 nights in December. We believed that the reasonably high rate we were paying would reflect on our stay. We were not disappointed. The room was smallish but cosy, just the right size in fact and more importantly warm and clean. The shower was a good temperature (even though I would have prefered it to be hotter) and did leak slightly outside the door and onto the floor but that to one side everything was perfect. You are well looked after in the Time from the doorman to the concierge (even though I would recommend getting theatre tickets upfront as apposed to paying the $25 dollars on top going through him!) and our stay was made that little bit more enjoyable. We went during the most expensive time of the year but on this stay the Time was great value for money.
Smallish rooms, but comfortable
Stayed on a business trip (someone else's money) so price was not an issue. A comfortable hotel; clean, friendly service and very convenient to midtown NY.
Nice but over priced
i had stayed at the time for a weekend in march for my boyfriends 21st birthday and expected we would be able to drink in the room since the boosted all rooms come with a fully stocked mini bar. well when we arrived there was nothing in the bar but an open coors light and after continues requests to fix the problem nothing was done till the next day and when it was finnily fixed i had no idea that you would have to pay extra everything thats in there!...about 6.75 for a bottle of corona and 3.50 for a snikers bar. my red room was very small and had no web tv. i did not feel i got my moneys worth since what i thought i would be getting i would actually get to use!
Great experience
I visited August of 2001 and had an excellent time. This trendy upscale hotel had excellent service, a superb layout, and is in a great location. The lounge is awesome, and because of the great time that I had there, I have planned another stay this May :-)
Time out for The Time
From management down, this relatively new property needs
work. I stayed the weekend of March 22- 2002, a very cold weekend in NYC. The heat in my original room, as well as the room I switched to, was less than adequate. Summer could be a real nightmare with the quality of these climate control systems. By the end of my 4 day stay the temperature in my room was nearly 80. I had to open the windows for relief. There is a significant difference in the sizes of this hotel's suites. The rooms, for their age, are already showing signs of poor maintainance. The TV in my
bedroom would not turn off the entire duration of my stay. Coco Pazzo, the room service provider, is not the same Coco Pazzo I've dined at several times. The pizza I ordered from room service tasted like a cheap frozen variety. No Sunday paper was delivered to my room. And in difference to all
of this hotel's advertising - they DO NOT offer web TV or even high speed internet access.
Nice style/design - Poor Management. Until you read otherwise, keep shopping for a better hotel.
The Time Hotel Review
I stayed at the Time in Nov 01 for 2 nights. I had a wonderful time there. Really nice rooms, I had a Yellow one. Gorgeous bathrooms, lovely bed and my room was quite big. The staff were really helpful and the concierge was great. He even took me up to show me around the Penthouse. I would recommend staying here to anyone. I will definetly stay there next time I'm in NY.

Seattle - You've got to love the rain.

Three days in and I've pretty much covered the main attractions in Seattle apart from the ...

"The clinical evidence of an association between endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis and CVD is very strong," said Prasad Sunkara, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Everist Genomics. "By providing an accurate assessment of endothelial function, AngioDefender may help physicians and patients to make treatment decisions aimed at reducing the risk of these serious conditions."
Subject to securing the required regulatory approvals, Everist Genomics will commercialize AngioDefender globally, starting in Europe and India during the first quarter of 2012.The current 'gold standard' for assessing endothelial function utilizes ultrasound to perform a costly and complex assessment of flow mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery (BA). This type of assessment has several major limitations, such as requiring the use of expensive ultrasound equipment, a specialized ultrasound probe and a highly-trained technician. Due to these limitations, along with the time required to perform ultrasound based measurement of FMD, its use has been confined to research applications.
AngioDefender overcomes these limitations by utilizing a patented noninvasive technology for assessing endothelial dysfunction that produces consistent results regardless of operator differences. AngioDefender assesses endothelial dysfunction by measuring changes in volum

Evergreen residents Larry and Jane Voorhees were sharpening their pickleball skills after a fast-paced game at Wulf Rec Center last Wednesday morning. The couple are among a growing number of enthusiasts flocking to courts to grab paddles and play the low-impact sport.
In the last two to three years, requests for court time to play pickleball have doubled for the Evergreen Park and Recreation District, said Jeff Sweet, EPRD recreation supervisor. More than 60 court hours now are scheduled each week for pickleball, he said.

There are many ways to bypass Internet filters and access blocked websites today. Among them proxy and vpn services, wayback machine, Google cache, online translation services, rss readers, and sites that unblock websites.
Some of them work in UAE and help to open restricted sites while others are not very reliable and safe.
The main point that can help us to unblock restricted websites in UAE Dubai, Abu Dhabi, others emirates and others countries is that most of blocks and bans there are based on the IP address.
When you try to connect to global network you automatically get UAE ip address or the ip of the country where you are located at the moment. Lots of websites and services like Skype, Voip are blocked from UAE IP this means that when you are trying to open some site from UAE IP address – it is blocked for you.
VPN helps open blocked sites in UAE http://vpn-account.com/
So to open restricted sites in UAE all you need is just hide or mask your real IP.
The most secure, safe and at the same time the easiest and fastest way to mask real IP is proxy and vpn services.
Proxy is very popular solution because it is usually free. However proxy can be too slow, unstable and not very reliable.
Personal vpn account for UAE improves all that. VPN account is a virtual private network that not only hides your real ip address but also codes the entire traffic passed through vpn secured tunnel.
The only thing that can be disappointed for you is a price. An average it is about 10$ a month.
VPN account is also a great solution to access blocked websites in UAE because it can be used not only on PC but also on iPad, ipod touch, MAC, iPhone, Android, xbox, roku, PS3 and others devices that support VPN technology.
To make a new vpn tunnel from your side to the vpn server you do not need to setup any additional software or application. Just follow vpn setup guides - http://vpn-account.com/
Access restricted sites and view blocked sites in UAE with personal vpn account right now!

In the darkness of a vent, a pair of small yellow eyes shine out, watching every one of your slow, uneasy steps into the horrors beyond. Welcome back to Rapture." 8/10

Nice enough place but probably a lot of other better options around. Quite boring

Awesome capture!
this is beautiful, i never knew there was a place like this
Could you please look at my work and comment please I would love your opinion,
Thank you
Very cool photo...I hope I get to Iceland in 2014
Thanks, and you should! It's any photographer's dream. So many contrasting subjects and colors.
Yeah I know. What time for a trip would you suggest? Do you think it's possible to combine the ice on the shores with the growing moss? I though that might work in May...
I went the first week of November and this is what it looked like the whole trip. We did get to see the Aurora on the last couple days though up north. Honestly, if you wouldn't mind the crowds I would say May-September. I didn't want to deal with loads of people though so that's why we went in the off-season. And even then there were enough people to deal with.
Well I don't need many people either haha. What did not work as you've expected/ wanted it- why you would say May-September? Anything special going on at that time ( I mean it's Iceland and that is always special of course haha)?
Our car didn't work haha. It broke down a few times and we essentially lost out on an entire day of shooting. Pretty frustrating. But anyway May-September is the tourist season because it's warmer and greener. When we went everything was dead so a lot of photo opportunities were lost because of it. It was overcast ALL day long and I mean socked in fog so most sunset/sunrise shots were stifled. Good for shots like this I guess ^.
wow,this is just brethtakeing
This is soo good.
Awesome shot!
Very nice pic
That's really nice. The ice block looks so weird. So are the beaches in Iceland black as in Tenerife?
They are very similar to Hawaiian black sand beaches.
What an amazing capture! Wonderful and so fascinating.
great foto!
The ice pops out so greatly!
Wow, that is amazing! It is kind of funny that you took this pic, because my grandpa and uncle just went on a photography trip to iceland!
Oh cool! They should have a great time! Probably going to be a lot colder than when I was there.
Really nice.
I keep seeing shots of Iceland lately.. really making want to go!

Listen | Transmission From Space: The Lone American Not on Earth During 9/11
A unique recording will be featured at the 9/11 Memorial Museum when it opens in 2012: Frank Culberston, the only American not on Earth on September 11, 2001, watched the burning towers from the International Space Station.
"It was pretty difficult to think about work after that, though we had some to do, but on the next orbit we crossed the US further south. All three of us were working one or two cameras to try to get views of New York or Washington," Culberston wrote in his journal the following day.
Below is Culberston's transmission from space on September 11, 2001.

Sundays on WKNO
Detective Superintendent Andy Dalziel is vulgar, blunt-talking, politically incorrect, and often insensitive. He's from the old school of policing and relies on his instinct, knowledge of human nature and experience to get results. Warren Clarke, one of Britain's best-loved actors, gives a consummate performance as the politically incorrect, no-nonsense copper with a penetrating wit and questionable personal habits.
Dalziel does not suffer fools gladly, but he has even more trouble with what he calls the "smart arses" of this world. So when the inexperienced, soft-spoken, whiz-kid graduate Peter Pascoe (Colin Buchanan) joins his team at Mid-Yorkshire CID, he is in for a rough ride.
Pascoe is the perfect foil as Dalziel's cultured side kick. One of the new breed of career police officers, he is armed with a degree in Social Sciences, a caring attitude and a sharp brain. At first Pascoe is somewhat taken aback by his brash and ballsy boss, but it soon becomes apparent there is more to Andy Dalziel than meets the eye.
The funniest and most endearing team in British crime detection are based on the best-selling novels of award-winning writer, Reginald Hill.
"The Price of Fame" (Pts 1 & 2)
June 14 at 10:00PM - 12:00 Midnight
The body of Efrona Davis (Lisa M Kay), an entertainer at the Wayland Bay Holiday Village, is found
washed up on the beach. Efrona is already big news. She was a leading light in the fly-on-the-wall
docu-soap, Wayland Baywatch, and had been voted the people's favourite week after week. Normally,
this would be a case for Dalziel, but he is at home 'on leave' following a row with the Assistant Chief
Commissioner Lawrence (Susan Brown). He has been investigating the abduction of 15-year-old
Penny Wilson and is certain that Roy Daynes (Darren Tunstall) is responsible. However, frustrated by
lack of evidence and witnesses, and desperate to find the girl before it is too late, he lost his temper and
has been thrown off the case.
"Great Escapes" (Pts 1 & 2)
June 21 at 10PM - 12:00 Midnight
Seven years ago, Kate Walker disappeared. Her body was never found, but her husband Charlie (Jack
Deam - Coronation Street, Clocking Off) was convicted of her murder on forensic evidence and the
testament of the prosecution's key witness, the Walker's 14-year-old neighbour, Sally Craig. Now,
Charlie has escaped from prison and Sally (Helen Latham) - who lives and works at the Barguest
Inn owned by Mike and Jess Pitman, Kate's mother and stepfather (played by Tim Healy - Auf
Wiedersehen, Pet,The Grand and Lynda Bellingham - At Home with the Braithwaites, All Creatures
Great and Small) - has disappeared. Her badly mauled body is discovered on the moors. Dalziel and
Pascoe have a murder case on their hands.
"Soft Touch" (Pts 1 & 2)
June 28 at 10PM - 12:00 Midnight
Dalziel is even more grumpy than usual.The top brass are threatening to kick him upstairs to a desk
job, and he's not sleeping. Pascoe and Spike are on the receiving end of his ill humour, but Dalziel
is a detective through and through, so when the body of shoe manufacturer Richard Mattis (James
Laurenson) is found on his factory floor, he tries to give his full attention to investigating the murder.
"Heads You Lose" (Pts 1 & 2)
July 5 at 10PM - 12:00 Midnight
Something is seriously amiss at Wetherton Royal Infirmary. Body parts are being dumped in a lake,
too many patients are dying and it looks as though two of the staff have been murdered. As the case
unravels, Dalziel discovers an uneasy relationship between Wetherton's leading hospital physician and
the neurology consultant, not to mention a snake pit of political wranglings with the local business
tycoon and the main source of the hospital's funding. Meanwhile, Dalziel is also anxious about Pascoe,
who is inside the hospital recovering from a car crash, trying to solve the case and, in the process, losing
his heart.
"Dead Meat" (Pts 1 & 2)
July 12 at 10PM - 12:00 Midnight
When an animal rights activist is found dead in the lion cage of a private zoo, Dalziel and Pascoe also
find themselves investigating an older murder on the same estate dating back to the 1970s, the prime
suspect of which has been missing ever since. But there is more going on at the zoo than meets the
eye. How can the zoo afford such an expensively equipped surgery, and what has happened to a
Chinese girl who was sent the money to come here? All becomes clear at last when the detectives
discover the bodies on the operating table are not always animals.
"The Dig" (Pts 1 & 2)
July 19 at 10PM - 12:00 Midnight
A university archaeological team is racing against time to find an ancient burial site before it is covered
by a new village bypass. However, the body they find is only a few months old, and the murderer has
removed all traces of the corpse's identity. The only clue is a pair of cufflinks with an ecclesiastical
design. The find seems to spark a series of murders and disappearances, one of which has DNA links
to a previous murder some years ago, and the man convicted of this crime has just been released from
"Dust Thou Art" (Pts 1 & 2)
July 26 at 10PM - 12:00 Midnight
When the pregnant daughter of wealthy art dealers is kidnapped, PC Jackson is taken prisoner too.
Unaware of her plight, Dalziel and Pascoe are investigating the murder of the philandering deputy
director of the local Arts Centre. When an art specialist is also found murdered, the detectives uncover a
big-money scam involving faked Old Masters. The kidnap, the scam and the murders are connected, but
can the detectives solve the case in time to save their colleague, PC 'Janet' Jackson, who is being held
captive in a flooding storm drain by a killer?

The Elizabethtown Panthers don't have the biggest boys' area swim team – that would be Meade County – but the Panthers arguably have the best boys' swim squad. And with only one senior on their 14-competitor roster, the Panthers could probably look forward to being atop the area scene next season, too.
But that's not their goal.

I suppose I should write a post about what's going on with my project band, Conchairto, as I've not written anything about it since the drum session I did way back in April. Things are coming along really well for the 3-track EP. We recorded guitar DI tracks round mine through my Audient ASP008 via ADAT into my Apollo. I decided to go the ADAT route, as I thought it might provide a cleaner signal, as it's purely digital (besides the guitar and instrument cable), rather than using cables that I soldered which fluctuate in continuity when you measure them with a multimeter… perhaps it's all just voodoo and me being too pedantic, but I thought I'd give it a whirl.
We also did bass round mine as well. As my brother was too worried about lending me his highway one P-bass despite living in the same house, Billy managed to blag one from his friend, Danny, who helped us out (cheers, Danny)! Bass went into a Sansamp bass driver DI into my Hairball Audio Bronze pre… the results were truly ridiculous; incredibly deep tone that just filled out the bottom end like someone who'd just eaten an all-you-can-eat buffet… the Sansamp was definitely a great purchase!
Once we'd tracked all guitar parts, we booked studio time at our local studio, HIBIKI, which used to be Fuzzy Music Studios, a studio I interned at way back in 2009 (ah the good old days). I took down all my own gear and just used their rooms so I could record insanely loud guitars without upsetting the neighbours. Despite having all the guitar tracks recorded and comped, we were still rushed for time, as it took me an age to figure out the UA Apollo's PT mode (I'm now using Studio One 3.1 as a result). We must've spent about six hours in the studio re-amping guitars, and in the end, I ended up scrapping the recordings we did for two out of the three songs and just recorded them at home… not to mention having a band rehearse in the room next to us later on in the session and the sound just bleeding through the walls. The recordings that have made it onto the final EP are all the guitar tones for "Vultures" and Billy's clean parts for "Weathered Skin", the rest of it was done at my house over a couple of Saturdays when my brother worked his weekend shift so I could use his room to put my guitar cab in… he was none the wiser.
So all that's left to do is vocals. I've had this past week off work, but I've been sorting out more guitar parts and bouncing down files from Pro Tools so that I can import them and mix completely in Studio One. I have next week off, so I'm going to get two songs done then whilst Billy finishes writing lyrics for his song "Dark Cloud". The EP is very near completion, and I'm extremely proud of it considering it's just a side project.
Side note; I've been mixing in Studio One for about a week now, and the good things I mentioned in my initial review have just been bolstered by having more experience working with it. I've got a full session's worth of plugins running at 128 samples, and Studio One hasn't even given me an error message, let alone crash considering I'm running an insane amount of plugins. Using outboard gear with Studio One is an absolute breeze as well, and the fact you can adjust the phase of the effected signal with a plugin which displays the waveform is incredible. Major props to the developers at PreSonus for making such a stable piece of software.
I'm writing this post on a bit of a whim. Over this weekend, I've been listening back to old projects that I've worked on from 2013-present, and one thing sets apart the recordings I really like compared to the recordings that don't sound that great, and that is a good drummer. I've realised that you can have all the mics, pres and outboard in the world, but if you don't have the most fundamental part for getting a great drum recording, then you may as well not bother. What makes a good drummer? Well, first and foremost, you need a drummer that can actually stay in time with the track/click. Just as importantly, you need a drummer that can make the drums "sing"; by that I mean making the drums resonate in a certain way, hitting the stick consistently in the same area (unless otherwise done so for effect – rim shots, for example), creating dynamics in the performance. For most modern genres of music, you need a drummer that can hit the drums (not cymbals) HARD. Forceful input from the drummer will create a forceful output and drums that "sing" in the mix. A great performance is absolutely essential. I find this to be most apparent with toms, but all drum shells need to be hit hard. If a drummer doesn't put enough force hitting toms, they'll sound wimpy in the mix – guaranteed. Secondly, you need good sounding drums. Don't come to a session with 10-year-old drum heads covered in duct tape and are out of tune from sitting in a garage for years. What's the point? Pointing a mic at horrible-sounding drums isn't going to make them sound like a million bucks. If you have a good drummer with a well-maintained kit, you will absolutely get a great drum recording if you keep phase relationships in mind. What I've realised over the years is that a great performance in a great song mixes itself. It makes the mix engineer's job a million times easier as they can focus on enhancing a great performance rather than fixing problems.
The Beginning
I've recently downloaded the demo of Studio One 3.0 and have been mixing some drums to get somewhat of a feel of it, before deciding whether I commit to buy or not. You may have seen (many blog posts ago) that I added screenshots of Studio One 2.0 when I used to use it. As I work in education as a Music Technician, I got this software for free directly from PreSonus. I found that Studio One 2.0 wasn't as reliable as Pro Tools 11 when I was using it for a session (ironically, everyone else seemed to say the opposite), so I went back to Pro Tools after using Studio One for one project.
Why I may switch DAW
Since Avid have announced that Pro Tools is becoming a subscription-based service with Pro Tools 12, I thought that now is the best time to jump ship to another DAW which won't alienate its customers/users with ridiculous marketing strategies, I.E announcing Pro Tools 12 and having the promo video just listing everything about cloud collaboration. When I used Studio One 2.0, I found the GUI to be quite lacklustre and uninspiring; it looked cheap and old. That was the biggest thing that caught my attention with Studio One 3.0 – the GUI.
The Look of Studio One 3.0
Whilst other features of Studio One 3.0 seem cool (the scratch pad and various VSTis and effects), it was the GUI that I was most interested in. Using the demo of Studio One 3.0 inspires me to work; the capability to change the background colours to my liking is also a huge feature that I've not seen in other DAWs. The ability to resize faders for higher resolution is also another great feature which I'll definitely be using a lot when automating or fine-tuning fader adjustments during mixing.
I'm also a guy that wants to use quantizing to tighten up a drum performance when needed, but often find that quantizing does more harm than good (flam artefacts, beats not aligning to the grid properly, etc). Although I don't think the quantizing algorithm has changed in this version of Studio One (besides their elastique pro 3), I've found that quantizing drums in Studio One is so much easier than what it is in Pro Tools. Having to work in 4-8 bar loops in Pro Tools is a very time-consuming process and, in my experience, rarely did the job correctly. In Studio One, I managed to quantize a whole 3 minute song worth of drums and the drums were mostly correct to the grid with barely any flam artefacts. Having said this, I have found that the crossfade and merge events feature much to be desired, as the crossfades will often fade on a transient, and the merge events function doesn't fill in gaps that the quantizing didn't clear up. This is a feature that Pro Tools has had in Beat Detective for many years, and I think if Studio One incorporated a "fill gaps and crossfade" feature, quantizing in Studio One 3.0 would be an absolute breeze compared to other DAWs.
In Summary
The real 'proof in the pudding' for me will be if I can record 16 tracks simultaneously without any errors. This is something that I found happened a lot in Studio One 2.0, which is why I went back to using Pro Tools 11. So if I can record 48kHz, 24bit audio (or higher) onto my 2011 Macbook Pro with an i5, 4gb ram and a 250gb hard drive without drop outs, I will use Studio One 3.0 as my primary DAW from now on. Having said this, my first impressions of Studio One 3.0 are good ones, and I'm sure with the incremental updates that will be released, my personal issues with this DAW could be rectified along with other people's user feedback.
On Monday, I recorded drums for an upcoming (and currently unnamed) project that I'm a part of. We've written three songs over the course of about a month, two of which were written anyway from previous projects that we'd been in. I suppose we're reminiscent of Jimmy Eat World and The American Scene, but these three songs are quite different from one another, as we're trying to hone in our sound. The band comprises of myself, Max from Light Fire Down and Billy who I've known for about a couple of years. We're still searching for a bassist, but for this EP we're going to record the parts ourselves and put it out there for any potential bassists to hear.
The drum session went pretty well. It was nice to take as long as I wanted with mic placement and choosing what mics to place on a source without a band getting panicky that I'm eating into their tight budget. We recorded in the back room of the village hall where I recorded Summer Drive Home and Tate, as it's the best room I've found locally that sounds incredible for drums, and it's super super cheap to hire for a day.
Mics were mainly going into my new Audient ASP008 which was fed into my Universal Audio Apollo via ADAT; the rest of the mics went into pretty coloured pres like my Warm Audios for toms and my newly built Hairball Audio Bronze 500 series pre for the outer kick mic. I tried a couple of different things, but it was my usual go-to array of mics on the sources:
- SM57 inner kick
- NT2000 outer kick
- Subkick
- SM57 top and bottom snare
- SM57 hi tom
- MD421 floor tom
- SM7B hi-hat
- KSM32s overheads
- Fathead II room
This was the first session I had with this setup where I recorded drums, and I'm seriously impressed with how it's sounding. Everything was right; the room we recorded in was insane, the kit we used sounded incredible and had heads that were pretty new, the mics I was using were all of good quality, and the mic pres and conversion were also pretty high end. I also experimented with some Auralex foam (pictured) that I'd borrowed from work to cut down on some room reflections getting into the close mics, which worked a little bit. I wanted to hang some duvets on the side walls, but there was no way we could've held them up. I also used these Studiospares knock-offs of the Primacoustic crash guard for the top snare and hi tom mics which helped a little bit with bleed, but also seemed to give a more focused sound to each drum.
I've since comped drums and I'm going to quantize them before we record DI guitar tracks to be reamped at a local studio. Looking forward to the end product of this product!
Today is the day that my buds in Light Fire Down release their new EP that we recorded for digital and physical release. We recorded this EP way back in May/June last year, and the guys have finally put it out for your listening pleasure. I'm extremely happy how this EP turned out, songwriting wise and production. I think we all kicked it up a notch with this one!
I'm also proud of the result considering the circumstances we were faced with. I recorded this whole EP when I would finish work at 5pm each day. We only had four hour windows to get each instrument tracked, and were constantly racing the clock. Not to mention having guitar lessons taking place above us each session, where I'd reluctantly tell them to be quieter or move to another room. We even had a guy walk into the drum session mid-take, and had the door slam behind him. We were basically battling the clock and everyone else every session. It was a nightmare. Having said that, the added pressure made us more focused and work harder.
Despite the added pressures, these sessions were a lot of fun. With us being so absorbed by the recording process, the laughs we had made it more sane for us (that, and having pizza brought to the sessions). Anyway, you can stream the whole EP below.
The Light Fire Down EP I recorded back in the summer had one of its songs, "Carolena", played on BBC Introducing on the 24th January. I was super happy that it got airtime on a "proper" radio station, and I'm glad that the guys are pushing this release more than their first. I'm glad that I mixed this EP in mono to gain mono compatibility, as the BBC summed the track to mono when it was broadcast. You can listen to the broadcast HERE for the next month or so (their track is the first that was played in the broadcast), and also check out the song that the guys uploaded to YouTube. The EP will be out on the 20th February.
A recent video from The Recording Revolution goes over the idea of writing down what went well/not so well this year in the studio. So, I thought I would write mine down on this medium in hopes of bettering myself in the next year.
What went well:
– Mixing at low volumes.
– Mixing in mono.
– Balancing tracks with faders before adding effects.
– Recording in a studio space with proper monitoring.
– Minimalist mic'ing yields better results than thinking that I have to use all the mics I recorded a source with in a mix.
What went badly:
– Getting too eager about projects, and mixing instruments before the whole project was finished.
– Rushing to get sounds/tones for the sake of getting more recording done and sometimes paying the price later.
– Buying too much equipment that I don't need/use enough to warrant having it.
– Setting prices too low.
– Less sessions than I hoped by not advertising my services, relying too much on word of mouth to get me work.
I'm hoping that by publishing this post, I'll be able to better myself in the following year and get more professional results and even more work than this year. I can refer back to this post and remember how I felt at this current time.

I love video games. Always have, always will. I grew up watching Mario stomp koopas, Link slay moblins and Kirby inhale enemies to copy their powers. Games will always have a special place in my heart.
As much as I like the classics and the stuff being released by the big name companies, however, recently my attention's been diverted to a select few independent companies and developers. People say these past few recent years have been some of the best times for indie developers to get into the gaming market, and, frankly, I agree with them. As of late the indie game market's really been booming, and it's no wonder why. There are some really great indie games out there to find if one knows where to look. And unlike pricey console games, many of these independently developed games can be downloaded onto your computer for as low as $20, $10 or even $5.
Given, these games might not have the newest, most-cutting edge graphics, and might be relatively simple when compared to some of the things we see Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft releasing. However, that doesn't change the fact that they are good games nonetheless. And many gamers seem to agree with me.
One shining example of an indie game that's risen from obscurity is Dokutsu Monogatari, better known by is Americanized name, Cave Story. The game was originally made as a freeware 2D platform-adventure game by independent developer Daisuke Amaya (art-name "Pixel") in 2004. He developed the game in his spare time, intending it to be a tribute to classic popular titles he had played in his youth, such as Castlevania and Metroid.
After it's initial release on the Internet, Cave Story slowly gained popularity as a indie game, and was praised by many gamers for its compelling story and gameplay. Fans of the game eventually developed an English translation, spreading the game even further.
Later on, Nicalis, an independent video game company, worked with Amaya to bring an updated version of Cave Story with new modes of gameplay and improved graphics to Nintendo's WiiWare service in 2010.
Since then the popularity of Cave Story has skyrocketed, leading Nicalis to work with Nintendo to bring yet another updated version of the game to the Nintendo 3DS under the title of Cave Story 3D.
And Cave Story is just one of the many success stories told about independently developed games these days. Several other popular titles have risen from the depths of obscurity to become commonly known titles to gamers everywhere: Minecraft, Super Meat Boy and Angry Birds just to name a few.
Unfortunately, there are also risks involved for gamers who chose to invest their money in independent games. A method many indie developers seem to be taking recently is releasing a "beta-version" of their game over platforms such as Steam for a low price, with the promise of free updates as the game is further developed. A prime example of one such game is Re-Logic's Terraria, a 2D "sandbox" game featuring exploration, crafting, resource gathering, and combat with a variety of different creatures.
Upon its initial release in January 2011, Terraria's sales boomed. Over 1 million copies of the game were sold, gamers being drawn in both by the unique style of gameplay and the prospect of future updates to the game. Head developer of the game, Andrew Spinks, made regular posts about planned features to the game in his blog, keeping the community informed about what they could expect in future updates.
Upon Terraria's version 1.1.2 update, which included new enemies, biomes, resources and a slew of new items to be discovered and crafted, popularity of the game boomed even more, resulting in the game being named as the No. 1 of 2011's Indie of the Year Player's choice.
Unfortunately for fans, Spinks suddenly decided to halt production of Terrarria, announcing in his blog on Feb. 21 that there would be no further updates to the games despite the fact that the several planned features that had been announced in his blog. Many members of Terraria's online community protested, feeling that the game had been cut down in its prime, and had yet to reach its full potential.
Sadly, however, this seems to be a route that many independent game companies take. Several indie games seem to be halted before they are considered to be "finished." Lacking the resources that larger game companies have, independent developers either run out of money for production, or simply become burned out, no longer having the time or interest to continue working on their projects. It's disappointing for the fans who pay to play these games in the early stages of development, however, it's also a risk people take when they decide to play independent games.
Is it enough to scare people away from the indie game market? Certainly not, as there are still many gems out there to be found if one is willing to spend the time and money. Indie gaming is on the rise. And things can only get better as time goes on.
CANstruction kicked off today, with teams building artistic creations made entirely out of canned goods. Stop by the Weston Gallery to see their progress and drop off canned goods of your own. All donations, and all cans used to build the artwork, will go to the Freestore Foodbank.
Every Tuesday is Writer's Night at MOTR Pub. Songwriters, poets, spoken word artists — anyone with original work is welcome to share. Sign ups open at 8:30 p.m. and $40 goes to a special winner each week. Lucas of The Dukes Are Dead hosts. Enjoy a beer, a BLT and great company.
Check out our To Do page for tons of recommended art shows open today.
The Contemporary Arts Center is one of those few arts organizations open on Mondays (instead, Tuesday is their day off) Admission is always free after 5 on Mondays, but until Saturday, all admission is pay-what-you-can while the upcoming exhibits are installed. This is an interesting opportunity to watch as new works are brought in, play like a kid in the UnMuseum and shop in the always-fabulous gift shop. Saturday's opening party for the new exhibits will be quite a Spectacle, so look for details in this week's upcoming issue. Find ours and directions to the CAC here.
Check out Mike Breen's daily blog for tonight's live music lineup. And mark your calendars: Thursday is our annual Swizzle Soiree. Join us at PLAY for a celebration in conjunction with the release of our bar guide (on stands Wednesday). Cheers!
20th Century Cincinnati is a vintage-modern (is that an oxymoron?) collector's dream. The 18th annual event brings 60 furniture and decor dealers to the Sharonville Convention Center with all kinds of goodies from the 1920s-1980s. Tickets are just $7 for the weekend, with the sale open 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Find details here.
Do you think there's ever been a February Final Friday as mild as this one? Surely not. Hop around the galleries, restaurants and bars in Over-the-Rhine and make the most of this odd weather!

Infrared systems are often used in the home with TV sets, but, like FM systems, they can also be used in large settings like theaters.
