Studio Atmosphere, Moving Blankets and Microphone Mods
Adam Curry describes his preference for a "dark, dingy cave" studio atmosphere, using heavy moving blankets to deaden room echo. Dvorak discusses his use of a CAD 3000 microphone from China, which was recommended by a professional microphone "modder." They compare their different recording environments, with Curry seeking a "night disc jockey" vibe and Dvorak allowing for more natural room ambience.
