I love my work, but I have found both music and photography to be uniquely rewarding creative outlets. They resonate strongly with me because I can enjoy what I am doing right now, while simultaneously being able to appreciate the masters and top artists in each field with a deepening understanding of the craft and the artistic control.

The end goal is not to become like my artistic heroes and inspirations. It's the road traveled as I constantly examine and try to improve what I do that matters.

What type of music are you going to produce in your home project studio? What kind of walls, ceiling and floor do you have?

comment Do vinyl records sound better than CDs?
You can probably still find people who will argue very passionately why one is better than the other. But as the world turns from CDs to Internet as the mainstream medium for music distribution, I wonder whether it really matters anymore?

comment How to handle extreme dynamic range in a vocalist?
Well, you mentioned that padding the microphone sensitivity, or adjusting the gain would raise the noise floor. That means you don't really have any other options left. You also mentioned the vocalist is otherwise professional, so she should be able to tell when she is hitting the extremes of her dynamic range. Ask her to move her head slightly back and to the side when she hits those notes and that's probably all you need.
