Liked the recording, thought the song is not bad, even for my 42 year old years, liked the lead vocal, didn't like the scream vocal, and wondered if the drummer was playing to a different song.

Keep up the good (and brave) work.

If the stink continues, look for a contractor who specializes in fire and water restoration. They have ozone machines and chemical foggers that will take care of a strong odors. Have them put the machine in your practive space for 24 hours.

www.vsplanet.com has forums for all the various Roland products, but it's not a Roland site, so people are pretty straight shooters about the good and the bad. The folks there are definitely the Roland experts - Roland customer support refers people there. People will give you the goods and the bads...

Interestingly, while researching this matter I found a number of references which indicated that smoking significantly increased harm done by exposure to asbestos. A smoker who is exposed to asbestos on a regular basis has a 20 times greater chance of developing lung cancer. There is a lot fo debat...

I would leave the gig with at least $200 worth of their gear and sell it on eBay to get paid.

Seriously, are they getting paid for the gig? Make them pay you that night.

15 minutes on Google didn't turn anything up; I recommend calling Peavey's customer support people and asking.

I'm a lawyer that represents asbestos companies. What you are describing sounds like a type of asbestos paper that was used primarily to wrap ductwork. It contained chrysotile asbestos, which is the least toxic form of asbestos, but all of it is toxic if the dose is high enough. I'll do a little res...

We do it all the time. It does cost a little, but when the money is there, the money is there. Not like a check.

Dood, I don't talk smack about other companies, period! Now that we've got that straight, carry on. Oh, I missed this one, sorry: In addition, both the fat head and shinybox offer transformer mods. Do those transformers boost the output of the mic? I don't have very good mic pres atm, but I like th...

Re: lame review

You have to admit, that Fathead ribbon review in this month's issue is pretty worthless. With the only conclusion drawn in the article being "it made my digital tracks sound not so sterile!", this review comes off as a cheap advertisement. At least the word warm was used only twice. That's sweet ho...
