Re: United Pugin $5 sale
I went with Mike's suggestions. I'm itching to try the Altec clone, and I just like the idea of MorphVerb

Re: Snares - what’s everyone using nowadays?
Next the Bison 5x14 mapel 10 lug that was a college graduation present from my folks. That was Number 1 for a lot of years I played blues and rock gigs all over with that one. It even went to CBGB with me in '95 I think. Been in the room with this one. I’m not a drummer and usually don’t know what ...

Re: Any opinion about molded earplugs ?
A couple tidbits from my time using molded earplugs: The fit is critical - if the molds aren't made right, they won't seal, and therefore don't work. For them to be useful, they have to go as deep as a foam earplug would. They have a limited lifespan - the material they're made of hardens as it age...

Re: Snares - what’s everyone using nowadays?
The Mapex stuff should not be slept on, it's affordable and really well made. The owner of the company seems to be a true drum geek. One of the videos where they compare a bunch of snares had the hammered 14x6.5 brass Mapex and it sounded phenomenal. I went back several times to that vid and others...

Re: Snares - what’s everyone using nowadays?
MMMmmm Snare drums. I've got around a dozen. I'm not sure how I should categorize them. Age, material, depth, frequency of use, number of lugs? So, My very first snare (and I do still have it) is a Slingerland 6.5x14 3 ply mahogany Student model probably from the 50s, 8 lug with the old "stick chopp...

Re: Getting motivated on your own music recording projects.
First off, I'm NOT a songwriter. I like to do things where I do all or most of the parts. I don't have a clue how MIDI works, so I have to actually play each part. It's easier now then in the 4-track days because I can edit easily between takes (Thank you Playlists). A few months ago I did a really ...

Re: RIP Steve Albini
I'm finding comfort in the thought of Garges talking Steve's ear off right now. Along with Mark Rubel. At one point Mark's goal was to have all of the same quirky instruments as Steve. I remember going to Pogo once and he was excited because he'd just gotten a little spinet piano he was going to ma...

Re: New Pro Tools, who dis? "FREEZE"
I usually set Preferences/Display to Tracks and MIDI Devices and Track Color then I can group drums as one color, guitars another, bass another, etc. It really helps when you are looking at a bunch of track and trying to find somethings... I don't think there is any standard though so I just have m...

RIP Steve Albini
There's a thread on the People/Places forum, but I think this news is too big to not be mentioned where most people on our forum hang out. Steve was 61 and died of a heart attack.
