Hmm... all this begs the question... who out there is modifying consumer-grade EQs to do something interesting? Seems like there might be some potential there.

'Round here all you can get is the ordinary isopropyl alcohol, and usually 70% at that. Sometimes (around here) you can find 97% pure. 97%'s a compromise, but I would rather leave my heads dirty than use 70%. The local Home Despot has some form of denatured alcohol, but nobody seems to be able to te...

It totally pays to learn good ways to record drums with 3 mics, I'll tell you that much.

Found my copy of Tuff Darts though.

I can't seem to find my LP of that.

Gregg, that's AWESOME. I've got a pair of 40-4 decks; same transport looks like, but fewer features.

Yeah, that does not sound like the kind of EV635a I know and... like OK I guess.

If anything, it should sound kind of honky & muffled--although I overstate. On the recording I do have posted, it's most of what's catching the ride cymbal.
