I'd be down for a few cold ones. We've hosted at 1935 a couple times and would be happy to do so again, unless folks prefer a bar instead. What do y'all think?

Clearly there's a climate-controlled studio on this island. So in that case, a pair of Telefunken ELAM 251s.

But if all I've got is a grass hut, a generator, and a Portastudio I'll go with a pair of 57s. If I'm living lo-fi, I'm recording lo-fi.

So one day I'm putting up one of the 251s, securing the mic with one hand while I make an adjustment to the stand. The mic literally comes apart in my hand. This exact same thing happened to me. I managed to save the capsule but the body fell to the floor. It's scary to be the guy holding a $10k mi...

They just played a free show here in Philly on Wednesday in Rittenhouse Square to about 1500 people. A damn fine show. We're lucky to have 'em as our own.

Without repeating all the great suggestions already: - If you're in the NoLibs part of town, check out Dipinto Guitars - they're right up the street from Johnny Brendas. Usually some cool stuff lurking about the shop, plus Chris' own guitar line. http://www.dipintoguitars.com/ - Philadelphia Museum ...

Carl -

I'd suggest looking up Matt Gaither. He's a drum builder as well as a tech and comes very highly recommended. I can't seem to find his number, but will make sure to IM you when I find it.

There are two things that should be done. 1. De-ess the vocal. 2. If the vocal high end frequencies still splatter the EMT plate, use a LPF on the AUX send TOO the plate.
