Nobody else seems to have noticed... I wonder why that wasn't "OUR TOP STORY TO_NIGHT...?"

I've done that with an alto-sax lead that was a "foreground/background" part (an importnat line but subservient to the lead vocal).

One track clean, the other with just a little bit of tube distortion to fatten it up. Blend to taste.

You could try a Big Muff or some other fuzz-tone cheese boxes n-line with a cheap eq pedal, or maybe a cry-baby wah (use an an eq, not a wah; you know, leave it half-open, or experiment with footboard positions until you get the sound you're looking for). Try solid state vs. tube amps, if you have t...

Hey man,

"The Distance..." sounds great. Nice sound, well-performed, great recording. Nice guitars and vocals. Love the drums too. Maybe some more clarity in the bass (that's a nit-picky comment, I know). Nice strings too!

Same comments for "Painting Sheri." Nice background vox too. Great work!

Not exactly an "electronics " project, but if you want to build an inexpensive mic, Google the "Austin Ribbon Mic."

Is the African-American guy Garret Morris? It looks like him...

OK, I'll give it a go. Caveat being I have no other playback/speaker combination for Mp3's than the Dell computer and RealPlayer I'm listening on, on these tiny little Dell speakers, so I can only pontificate as accurately as the media and medium allow. Take with an appropriate-sized grain of salt. ...

Re: >>>>Quotes<<<< That's funny. I was just reading an article on Steve Ferrone today, where he was praising Ringo. I was going to post a quote, but it seems anti-climactic now. Point is he was and is good and is probably the most influential rock drummer in history. My beef with Ringo is that I can...

There are a bunch of pretty decent 2-tracks (Teac, Tascam, Akai, Pioneer) on ebay. Check here: http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=reel+to+reel&_sacat=See-All-Categories If you search "Nagra" at ebay, 3 or 4 machines come up right now. Average seems to be about a grand even...

Hey, * Have you tried some simple mastering/pre-mastering of your mixes (compression/loudness maximization)? * Have you tried including CLE's in your control room monitoring menu? * Have you tried bass traps, or any room treatment or compensating EQ? As the other guys mentioned, it's probably the ro...

And that's another thing. If Ringo sucked so bad, why would already and legitimately accomplished drummers like Bernard Purdie try to scam his credits on a regular basis? Who wants to steal credit for something that's no good?

>>>>Does anyone know which songs are for sure Paul and not Ringo? I don't think I've ever come across that bit of trivia.<<<< No, I can't do that... (cue guitar lick, heh heh)... I can tell you that Paul is fairly a-ok at a very simple 8th note groove (from watching him on that live from Abbey Road ...

OK, went back and listened again (quite a bit louder; family was watching TV in the same room the first time)... Definitely multiple vox; I think even some of the whiny verse/pre-chorus vocal is doubled (the "We are the people..." section). Interesting, this tune is oddly reminiscent of Al Stewart.....

I took electronics in Boy Scouts, in high school (several classes0, and there was quite a bit of it in my college recording class... I remember almost none of it. What I _do_ remember is not resistor codes, but the time I touched something called a pulse generator (?), and was transported across the...
