If your level coming out of your preamp is low and you bring it up on the audio interface, you're going to have unecessary noise. OK, I figured it was something like that... Just set the input gain on your soundcard at +4 or -10 (whatever is appropriate for feeding it) and forget 'em. That's how th...

There may be a simple or obvious answer to this, but I'm just not getting my head around it. Or maybe I'm revealing my lack of understanding of a much bigger concept. I'm using (cheap gear alert!) an M-Audio Omni I/O into a Delta 66 card into Cubase on a Mac. The Omni I/O has four inputs: two line-l...

They were watching this in my neighborhood video store the other night, and I got totally sucked in. Can't wait to see the whole thing.

Why is everybody down on Bossanova? I love that record. Some of the folks interviewed in the dvd were kinda hard on it.

So, is anybody meeting up at El Rio tonight? I'm in as long as I can get outta the house for a little while. What time?

I don't know the Dandy Warhols, but you can't go wrong with the Old 97's "Too Far To Care." There's not a bad song on that record, if you ask me. Which you didn't, but, you know, I'm just sayin'.

There is definitely some confusion about this: at the SF GC, the counter guy thought the deal was $29 for the mic when you buy the pre for $99. His supervisor stepped in and ok'd both for $29.

SLAG, you rock for giving the heads up on this!

Howdy and welcome! I'm in SF. I spend most of my time changing diapers instead of pushing record these days, but I lurk here a lot. Stick around - there are some great folks here, many in the Bay Area, and a lot of great info.

And all the peanut butter $35 can buy.

Yes! The wife and I picked this up a while ago. Such a great show, and they really did a first-rate job with the dvd set - good extras and packaging.

Ayan, your girlfriend got you the set in the yearbook package? That's like the special limited-edition version. Sweet!

Dunno - I don't listen to radio that often. I have heard some pretty cool things on some of the Bay Area stations, but it's really hit-and-miss, and I never pay attention to what station I'm listening to or what time it is. College radio had a big impact on me at age 15 - up all night every Wednesda...

Do you have it online? I will listen! OK, I guess I got myself into this. Put up or shut up... At the moment I don't have the song heard on DemoListen (If you are really adventurous, or bored, you could get the April 23 stream from kxlu and go about 3/4 of the way in. Or I can just put it up tonigh...

Yep, I listen to Demolisten almost every week. Fred and Devin (the dj's) are really cool people, and there's sure to be at least one song they play on the show that I'll really like. What's your band's name? I might have heard ya. Well... since you asked... :wink: We're called Turncoat 5. The song ...

Radio Station KXLU in the LA area does a program on Friday nights called DemoListen, where they play "demo" tapes by unsigned bands. Some of it's kinda cool, some of it's pretty bad. They also broadcast over the internet at www.kxlu.com Back in September, one of the guys from my band (2/3 of us are ...

If you like the sound of your stompbox when the battery is dying, but don't want the unpredictability of a half-dead battery, try a universal ac adaptor with variable power supply from radio shack. Dial the power down from 9v to 6 or 4.5. I turned my DOD flanger into a noisy/crappy slap-echo this wa...

Hot Damn! That is brilliant.

"Hello, I'm Johnny Cash." from Folsom Prison Blues "I'm going to beat you up after this." Squirrel Bait, "Hammering So Hard" "Every raw material I had..." Mission of Burma, "Learn How," which doesn't make a bit of sense on paper and I don't really know what the song is about, but for some reason I j...
