I just wanted to stay on top of this a little in case anyone is thinking of dropping some money on an ATB. I think I mentioned that one of the channels (#14) is really low gain and has to be cranked to be equal to the output of the others, and my VU lights are out...but I have made many, many great ...
I was doing a session at a studio the other day and a friend of mine, (Dan Long of Headgear Studios (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio)) suggested a really interesting kick drum mic'ing method. I had a Sennheiser e602 and a Blue mouse set up to capture the beater and front of kick respectively. He pu...

If you want things to sound like Harvest you might want to borrow an 8 track 1/2 tape machine from someone and track your basics to it with 456 formula tape.

I just got my first Vox amp after being a Fender junkie for a long time. A new AC 15.
