DOOR
Wow… just awesome. Thanks guys!
@headshotsvol7 same here! thanks
This knowledge is going to change my life thank you guys..
@frommanilla Really nothing to speak about. Source, knowledge and room/gear is what makes the difference IMO. Both Logic and Ptools can deliver excellent digital sound quality.
«with a cheaper mic like the u87″
@zachabend i agree, strange word to describe a U87.
Iwould do anything to work with these guys they r my burst of inspiration ima be there one day hopefully
INCREDIBLE
@TheTribute2stars Haha, yeah. I think they start at like $3000.
Awesome man …Ive really taken some good things out of your videos……Keep them coming Dave!!!!!!!
hey anyone. whats your take on this. Whats the sound quality difference between logic pro and pro tools?
Anybody who calls a U87 a cheap mic doesn’t know what microphones cost. The U87 isn’t a cheap mic by any means. Sure there are more expensive ones but it is by no means cheap, absolutely or relatively speaking. Just a dumb comment. But it sure can take a beating.
amasing. thank you
Love this show. I wish we could have seen him at work.
Love this show.
@Hamalakwath Tracking And Playback Are Two Diff Things…
