So this is is my current mixing station set up in entertainment mode. I picked up a pair of speakers (bottom pair) along with a stereo receiver for $30 over the weekend off of craigslist and a couple months I picked up the top brown/cream pair at a garage sale for $1. The corner speakers are my main mixing speakers I bought for $150 ($300 retail) also off of craigslist. People who mix/record may question these two pairs but I’m using them as grot boxes to test the translation of my mixes through various listening set ups. It’s awesome, it’s just a matter of flicking a button to switch between all of the speakers. Off to the right I have a book up on my Kindle Fire about recording, mixing, mastering, etc and then on the left is a book I haven’t read ever really but I’m going to attempt to read that one as well sometime. Oh by the way Faux Reality’s recording process is going exceptionally well; I finished most of the guitar tracks today.-tom-cat

My brother (jhays10.tumblr.com) playing some drums to test out a drum microphone placement I set up.  I think it sounds pretty decent.  I will be posting more about the process of my band’s (fauxreality.tumblr.com) album Home on here.

Studio Gear.  I just got the AKG C214 in the mail today.

I still haven’t gotten that microphone yet.

I”m getting really anxious.  Like I said, I hope eBay isn’t a lie.

Bought a new microphone today

Hopefully eBay doesn’t lie to me.
