Recording Solo First off I want to say good luck with the subscription idea. You're the first musicians that I've seen take your music to this level(business wise), very cool. Anyway my real question is, lately you've been saying that you like recording by yourself, I was wondering what process you use to do this being that your board and computer are in a totally different room. Do you just hit record and track for hours on end? Or do you use a control surface of some kind(like the Mackie HUI, etc.)? Just curious. -eric 
As you can see in this photo I use the DigiDesign ProControl surface (plus one additional module) in the control room. I simply add a Pre-Roll of 16 bars, which means that the computer goes back 16 bars from where I want to start recording. That gives me enough time to leave the control room, open and close four doors, enter the recording room, sit down, stick the monitors in my ear, grab the guitar, and start...I also use the Loop Record function, which means that the area I have highlighted on the screen will repeat over and over until I feel I have played my heart out. Then I go back to the control room, stop the machine and listen to what I have played. So, no, I don't have any type of control from the recording room. I made four markings on the pre-amp, which sits on the desk between the Tannoy and Genelec speakers left of the screens: hard rhythm, soft rhythm, hard melody and soft melody. I choose a setting before I start recording.
I like working with two monitors. The 17" screen on the left usually shows all of the control windows and the 23" screen on the right shows just the window with the music. The large speakers are old Tannoys, which I love, and the small speakers next to the screens are small Genelecs I always carry with me. Oh, yeah, the mouse pad is a Buddha pad I found at Urban Outfitters

Aaron Copland. "The whole problem can be stated quite simply by asking, 'Is there a meaning to music?' My answer would be, 'Yes.' And 'Can you state in so many words what the meaning is?' My answer to that would be, 'No.'"

KD writes "During the making of the 'Rings' trilogy, Jackson and his crew upped the ante on Apple's innovative iPod storage technology, using it for filmmaking sessions during production on The Two Towers and The Return of the King. Media was transferred from Weta to Pinewood Studios in London. There Jackson then viewed the QuickTime files on an Apple Cinema Display, tied to his G4 laptop, which drew directly from his iPod. The director's setup was mirrored in New Zealand, and crew could step through shots with the help of their iPods, with Jackson's guidance piped in over a videoconferencing system. During the course of two movies and four months, 'Rings' iPods stored and served up nearly one-half terabyte of digitized footage from 'Towers' and 'King.'" [Slashdot] Thanks Ole.
