| 18:06.47 | mgeary | so i've got someone asking me for SEO (after getting a $6.6k per month proposal from SEO.com). While we do help current clients with optimizing in-site content for their targeted search terms, we don't really do anything beyond that. Do any of you offer or know someone who offers next-level SEO services? I get very wary of approaches that try to game the system by having essentially bogus articles written to generate inbound links... |
| 18:09.45 | josephscott | spamming the web, may bad karma follow you where ever you go |
| 18:10.12 | influx | synic: I get what you're saying though. |

| 18:15.06 | mgeary | josephscott: exactly |
| 18:15.50 | mgeary | but i (currently?) assume that there are SEO people who actually provide a legitimate and white-hat service. If any of your fit that bill, or know someone, i could send a referral or two in that direction |
| 18:46.29 | macnewbold | mgeary: some guys i know do a $500/month linkbuilding thing that builds i think 75 new links per month |

| 20:24.57 | PoeticIntensity | what kind of hardware do you have now, influx ? |
| 20:25.05 | influx | And am now just wondering what would make sense for use with that setup. |
| 20:25.12 | influx | Just a laptop. |
| 20:25.17 | PoeticIntensity | yeah... I've seen that, and contemplated buying it. |
| 20:25.23 | PoeticIntensity | (or making it) |
| 20:25.41 | PoeticIntensity | I think it'd marginally improve vocals in a good room, and really improve vocals in a bad room. |
| 20:26.00 | PoeticIntensity | My room is already pretty awesome, so I ended up just using an extra-treated corner for my vocals. |
| 20:26.05 | PoeticIntensity | :) |
| 20:26.13 | influx | :D |
| 20:26.31 | influx | My room's about 10'x12' and two of the walls have a weird curve near the ceiling. |
| 20:26.45 | PoeticIntensity | the weirder, the better... |
| 20:26.48 | influx | There's a window as well, that's about 4'x5' |
| 20:26.51 | influx | haha |
| 20:26.52 | PoeticIntensity | square rooms are generally horrible. |
| 20:27.06 | influx | I may be overstating the window. |
| 20:27.12 | PoeticIntensity | what are on the walls? |
| 20:28.06 | influx | Right now? Some posters and papers. I forgot to mention, there's a little cubby with a shelf in it that's about 1'x3' and between 4"-6" deep. |
| 20:28.33 | influx | Maybe I should build a soundbooth in my room? :D |
| 20:29.05 | mindjuju | if you do, make it look like a tardis |

| 22:31.29 | PoeticIntensity | http://www.advancedbudgetstudios.com |
| 22:31.33 | PoeticIntensity | oh, sure.. |
| 22:31.35 | PoeticIntensity | for vocals? |
| 22:31.39 | influx | Si. |
| 22:31.45 | PoeticIntensity | I'd recommend a condenser, for sure. |
| 22:31.54 | PoeticIntensity | tube, if possible... |
| 22:32.02 | PoeticIntensity | I have an MXL V77, but they don't make those anymore. |
| 22:32.12 | PoeticIntensity | (My clients *love* the sound of that mic) |
| 22:32.12 | DexterTheDragon | hipster |
| 22:32.15 | influx | What's a fair price range? |
| 22:32.25 | PoeticIntensity | You can get a decent one for $100.00 |
| 22:32.37 | influx | orly |
| 22:32.39 | PoeticIntensity | The V77 originally was just under $500.00 |
| 22:32.55 | PoeticIntensity | let's see here... There really are a lot of options.. |
| 22:34.08 | SunSparc | PoeticIntensity: What do you think of the Blue Yeti? |
| 22:34.20 | mgeary | PoeticIntensity: i'm curious. at $30/hour, even if you were booked 40 hours a week, 48 weeks of the year, you're looking at $57k. While that's certainly a live-able income, it's not exactly "screw you, boss" money... Are there other add-on services you provide with your studio, and/or can you accommodate multiple clients at once? |
| 22:34.30 | PoeticIntensity | a fairly popular cheap LDC mic is the AT2020 |
| 22:34.56 | mindjuju | that'sw just room rental, not sound engy fees |
| 22:35.11 | PoeticIntensity | influx, try this page... http://www.zzounds.com/cat--Microphones--2821 |
| 22:35.15 | mgeary | aha, ok, mindjuju |
| 22:35.19 | PoeticIntensity | mindjuju, $30.00 is for everything... |
| 22:35.26 | PoeticIntensity | mgeary, right now, I'm priced to get clients. |
| 22:35.26 | mindjuju | at least, that's what i'm assum... |
| 22:35.29 | mindjuju | oh gotcha |
| 22:36.10 | PoeticIntensity | My main problem is - I don't have a real studio room that is free from outside noise. |
| 22:36.16 | mgeary | PoeticIntensity: right on, cool. |
| 22:36.43 | PoeticIntensity | I can't charge the rate I'd like when I have to tell my clients, "Now, my kids running upstairs could ruin any take, at any time..." |
| 22:36.52 | PoeticIntensity | So... |
| 22:36.56 | SunSparc | PoeticIntensity: http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Microphones-Yeti-USB-Microphone/dp/B002VA464S/ |
| 22:37.09 | PoeticIntensity | We're workin' on getting me a real space somewhere now... |
| 22:37.33 | PoeticIntensity | As far as the whole business situation goes, my only limiting factor right now is my room. |
| 22:37.52 | mindjuju | @pi, oh i don't know, I think the sound of kids running up the stairs adds a certain charm to a song |
| 22:37.59 | mindjuju | especially if there is some slamming of doors |
| 22:38.05 | PoeticIntensity | It sounds great, but isn't shielded from external noise. |
| 22:38.29 | PoeticIntensity | haha.... You'd be my perfect client, then! Let's book you some studio time! |
| 22:38.43 | PoeticIntensity | SunSparc, the higher-end blue mics are amazing. |
| 22:38.54 | PoeticIntensity | I know nothing about the Yeti. |
| 22:39.08 | SunSparc | PoeticIntensity: ok |
| 22:40.06 | PoeticIntensity | Looks like the Yeti is a USB mic? |
| 22:41.29 | PoeticIntensity | Yeah... I really don't know anything about USB mics... |
| 22:41.44 | PoeticIntensity | Like... where's the pre-amp in the chain if you're plugging a mic directly into the computer? |
| 22:41.48 | SunSparc | I was referred to it for podcasting. |
| 22:42.18 | PoeticIntensity | Where's the Analog to Digital converting going on? |
| 22:42.27 | SunSparc | So it is probably not much good for traditionaly recording. |
| 22:42.32 | PoeticIntensity | I really don't know. |
| 22:42.52 | PoeticIntensity | The SM57 is a $100.00 mic, and if you own a studio without one of those, you're as good as dead. |
| 22:43.07 | mindjuju | i know what that one is |
| 22:43.08 | PoeticIntensity | Best all-around instrument workhorse mic made, and it's cheap... |
| 22:43.09 | mindjuju | :) |
| 22:43.40 | PoeticIntensity | So.... the $150.00 pricetag doesn't cause me to wonder, it's the USB connection. It just blows the whole paradigm of my recording chain out. |
| 22:43.48 | PoeticIntensity | I'd be interested to know how they work. |
| 22:43.56 | PoeticIntensity | like.... "plug it in, install the drivers, and you're good" ? |
| 22:45.18 | influx | PoeticIntensity: Thanks. :D |
| 22:45.24 | influx | for the link |
| 22:45.34 | SunSparc | PoeticIntensity: If I get one, I will let you know how it goes. From what I understand, you plug it in and go. |
| 22:46.03 | SunSparc | I was wanting it for talking, not for singing though. |
| 22:46.05 | PoeticIntensity | sure thing. FWIW, influx, I own a pair of AT4041 SDC's, and I absolutely love them... I've heard that the AT2020 is a great mic for the price. |
| 22:46.40 | SunSparc | PoeticIntensity: I heard you had a mohawk a while back. You should see my Facebook profile pic today. |
| 22:47.11 | PoeticIntensity | As far as vocal mics go, I'd get a Large Diaphragm Condenser, and if ya can - with a tube on it. |
| 22:49.32 | PoeticIntensity | SunSparc, this is the blue mic I'm familiar with... |
| 22:49.33 | PoeticIntensity | http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=blue+bottle+mic&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=3260692882290011324&sa=X&ei=XxCRTYLPEYTAsAPnl6GaDg&ved=0CDQQ8wIwAQ# |
| 22:49.59 | PoeticIntensity | It's a bit more $$$ than I can handle right now, though. :) |
| 22:50.22 | SunSparc | PoeticIntensity: lol, yeah, I saw that one. Costs more than my computer. X2 |
| 22:51.59 | mgeary | does anyone have experience with any Trouble Ticket systems? Can anyone recommend one? Not looking for a bug tracker, more something that customer service folks can use to document interactions with customers |
| 22:58.49 | unum | I installed rttracker |
| 22:59.01 | unum | it seemed ok, but never got around to training my users on it |
| 23:05.27 | fungus | mgeary, RT is pretty good. quite a beast in terms of features, but not too bad. \ |
| 23:07.54 | SunSparc | mgeary: We have just been looking for some of those. What we found so far: userecho.com, getsatisfaction.com, uservoice.com, idea.informer.com, eldos.com, ideatorrent.org |
| 23:07.58 | mindjuju | curious, star trek meets napoleon dynamite dance (at the end) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc5ybkhb7sI |
| 23:08.25 | fungus | nope. still blacklisted |
| 23:09.26 | mindjuju | btw, that video for Friday by rebecca black, is at 61million hits ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD2LRROpph0&NR=1 ) <! the link for the rebecca black video |
| 23:10.56 | mindjuju | hey, i warned ya |
| 23:11.16 | mindjuju | it wasn't punk'd like i did fungus with the prospect of an old Lady Gaga vid |
| 23:11.31 | SunSparc | lol |
| 23:11.32 | mindjuju | it's not THAT bad |
| 23:11.38 | josephscott | who is rebecca black ? |
| 23:11.42 | SunSparc | I know, just playin. |
| 23:12.30 | influx | 1.11 million dislikes |
| 23:12.42 | influx | versus, what, 133k likes. |
| 23:12.54 | influx | Wow. |
| 23:14.03 | mindjuju | poor fungus, it REALLY was so unexpected |
| 23:14.08 | mindjuju | years since i last rickrolld |
| 23:16.47 | fungus | hence your blacklisting expiring, but has since been renewed. ;) |
| 23:18.22 | mindjuju | it'll prolly take twice as long to get it to expire, then double the time required to get you back to an unsuspicious state |
| 23:18.34 | mindjuju | sooo, it'll prolly be around 2013 when that happens |
| 23:18.51 | mindjuju | of course though, you'll be expecting it in 2013, so it'll have to be some time after that |
| 23:19.17 | mindjuju | and of course, since the world blows up in 2012, or time becomes unknown, or what ever is suppose to happen in 2012, it'll be moot |
| 23:30.14 | mgeary | SunSparc: i'll be interested to hear what you settle on. I'll let you know the same |
| 23:31.19 | SunSparc | mgeary: we tried out idea informer and like it but there were some UX issues that we did not like, we are currently trying out userecho on our site. |
| 23:33.34 | SunSparc | Later all! |
| 23:33.38 | mindjuju | cya |
