Re: The bottom of the snare
I always mic the bottom. If I get tracks from somebody with no mic on the bottom I re-amp the snare track with a snare drum sitting on top of a Fender Pro Jr and mic the snares there. I almost always have an 1176 plug on the bottom snare fast attack/slowest release. I forgot about that reamp trick....

Re: Any opinion about molded earplugs ?
I've been using the Sensaphonics molded ear plugs for years.
They are super helpful to me. I usually use the -9 filters. I have -15 also but -9 seems to do the trick.
Your hearing is worth it. They cost about as much as a fancy fuzz box.

Re: Channel Strip Plugins
I use the UAD API strip on the kick a lot. For something like that it's great having everything there in one instance. The SSL one is good too. They both get used a little more when I'm mixing something that I didn't record as I look at them as 'problem solvers'. Another really good one if you have...

Re: New Pro Tools, who dis? "FREEZE"
Is playlist comping also part of your new reality?
I can't remember when that came out but I've found it indispensable ever since.

Re: The Pro Jr.
If you haven't had an EL84 amp before it's good to know that if the amp is getting used they wear out quicker than other tubes. As long as you put in a matched pair you don't have to bias them. It's a plug and play situation. Maybe that's the same issue Fender had with the Blues Jr. - they had the ...

Re: The Pro Jr.
I'm a big fan of these amps. I have 4 that are from different eras. First thing to do is figure out what speaker is in there. Different versions shipped with different speakers. The Jensens that a lot of them shipped with are pretty good. If you want more volume the Eminence RaGin Cajun is very effi...

Re: I'm not a piano technician
Dolly is key for any piano that gets moved, even a little bit. We got one years ago for our spinet after the piano tech showed me how even just moving one end of the piano out a foot or two over time was totally disrupting the integrity of the piano. I think ours cost a couple hundred bucks. The pos...

Re: RIP Chris Garges @cgarges
I bought some monitors from Mitch Easter recently and that rabbit hole brought me back to the TOMB for the first time in several years. An article about Mitch mentioned the news about Chris. I mainly knew him through the forum but one day on a whim, I bid on a Topaz board on eBay and won it. Realiz...

Re: I'm not a piano technician
That's great that you got into it. When I had my "jazz bar" (Avenue B Social Club, later became Manitoba's) we had a nice Yamaha upright in there and some very good players on our calendar. I was getting the piano tuned every couple weeks and worked on too. I would go there to let the guy in and all...
