I don’t like putting a lot of money in software in general, I’ve already invested and I’m not upgrading computers regularly so I don’t want subscriptions. I really don’t need any more EQs or compressors or whatever. If I made lots of money with music it’d be one thing, but I really don’t. So at leas...

I don’t know if you’ve tried a solution like this, but I gave up on the idea of a cab in the house…I plug my amps into a Two Notes Torpedo Live and record direct. Best of both worlds, imho.

I agree that some kind of MPC or similar would probably be adequate for triggering samples, even if it’s an older model. I don’t have any experience with this, but this is cheap and simple anyway. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MPX8--akai-professional-mpx8-sd-sample-pad-controller I think i...

As per my other post, I just picked up a pair of the Monoprice active ribbon mics. I resisted as long as I could but at $49 each I finally caved. My first impressions are really good. The come in a nice steel suitcase virtualy identical to the one the my 414s came with. There's a pop filter and a s...

jagged little pill didn't sell 33 mil vinyl though, it sold 33mil worldwide. a conglomeration of cd, vinyl, cassette, minidisc, digital, etc.

Indeed, and same with Midnights.

Though it reads like a positive spin, Still doesn’t seem like a lot. And if you look at total units sold, pulling an example 1995 jagged little pill sold 33 million …2022 Taylor swift midnights sold 1.8 million. I wish there was a way to know how much of the vinyl released today actually gets played...

I came here to say my preference is to not do a hard gate, just set the gate to turn down “to taste” and not completely mute. Or just do volume automation. Depending on how problematic, you may be able to dial it in using multi band tools like Neutron and or a spectral editor like RX to clean up the...

It's just the action of the bar, the way it bends the notes, the way it sits in your hand. You can't do dive bombs on it, it doesn't have that much travel, but that makes it great for doing subtle stuff, gentle vibrato on chords, that sort of thing. And of course, the now-classic Kevin Shields styl...

standard 2 point trem if they must have a wiggle stick. I agree that the stock JM bridge is useless garbage, but the trem is a thing of sublime beauty, no one's gonna put a regular 2 pt trem on a Jag or Jazzmaster. Ok FINE, someone will, there's people who'll put a Floyd on a 335, but generally if ...

A silverface Vibro Champ which sadly arrived with a farty speaker (replacement on the way), and a Squier CV Jaguar. It took some work to turn the guitar into something playable, but it's pretty solid now. Squier Jag Crop.jpg I am recently a fan of some of the things Squier puts out, but I can’t for...

Sweet light, fast, 30" scale - huge variations in tone on the bass (bass) sound - came with some foam behind the bridge and I like it. The Longhorn came with TI flats, also, which are themselves pretty cool, if rather expensive. I shall be recording it forthwith as part of my personal March MPR cha...

Dano Longhorn

Always had a soft spot for these.

I think I would just do bandcamp for simplicity’s sake.

I have owned 4 of them over the years. Currently have 2. I think they are super cool, have had some minor repairs and adjustments that I could do myself, and one had a motor / electronics issue that I had to pay someone a lot to fix. Also had the heads lapped on one of them. Tape cost on these is re...

This showed up….cheap, but with the shaped case and upgraded pickups, had to do it. Downside, was absolutely loaded with stickers on the back…this photo was before I removed them all.
