Apex used to be good but they got bought out or something and their prices went way up recently. I wouldn't lock into a contract with them right now.

My buddy Kyle uses Valhalla Room with a 1.2 second decay to keep his vocals clear.

Wait, hold up - rayon was totally a 1920s thing. They called it "artificial silk" and it was all the rage because it was cheaper. Your dress is probably more period correct than you think. The real mix of fabrics back then was wild anyway - real silk, rayon, even early acetates. I get the guilt, but you might be stressing over nothing.

Laura_carter's story about moisture problems shows why rushing fails. I see this in many areas, like when people skip prep work on paint jobs and end up with peeling walls. Taking time upfront saves so much trouble later.
