Hmm, makes me wonder if we need big studios anymore. I think Staffs Uni have 
just had a new SSL desk to use with Pro Tools. I think the desk alone cost 70 
grand. If the track had had been recordedt there would it have been any better? 
Well, maybe a little possibly. Would you want to pay 70 grand though LOL. The 
drums sound very close to the real thing. Well they do to me anyway. 
Arguablely, if they continue to get any better sounding with the right 
programming of course will we see loads of drummers breaking their sticks over 
their knees and joining the foreign legion. I’m not saying there is no place 
for big studios at all but at what cost when you consider what can be achieved 
in the right hands with a DAW program and a PC in a corner of a room in a 
house. I haven’t even got a mixing desk anymore.

Hi all!

If you go to:

http://www.philmuir.com/

And locate the flash player (you can quickly do that with Jaws by pressing
the letter F twice quickly to locate the play button) then, you can listen
to a track called "Overtaken By Love."  It's the first song in the playlist.
The song was written and sung by a friend of mine, Gordon clowrey.  I
played/arranged  all of  the instruments and did all of the drum
programming, mixing mastering etc.  The BV's were sung by myself and my
wife, Sarah.  Sarah came up with some of the really cool vocal arrangements
for this particular tune and as usual, gave an honest critic of the mix.
That's the cool thing about Sarah, she has great ears and really does know
what's required and what should be left out.  This was all tracked in Sonar.
All of the BV's, mixing and mastering was done in Windows 7 Professional in
SonarX64 with Superior Drummer 2.2.1 64bit, on a couple of PC's, both of
which are core 2 duo.  The fastest one is only 2.13GHZ and this one which is
my laptop is 1.6GHZ.  Just shows you what can be achieved on two fairly
lolly systems, at least by today's standards.  BTW, the snare that I used is
the NirZ custom however, I used the centre hits, rather than the side ones
as the side hits, would have been a bit too ringy for the tune.  Enjoy!
