well, thanks for helping. I'm glad someone thought to google it for me, I was having the damnedest time trying to figure out how to do a google.

I know about the program, but I have a Macbook Pro and so would need to buy a USB adapter that would likely only get used this one time. That's why I was hoping to spend the money on some Caldera IPA and crack a beer with someone while the files transfer instead. I also go to Seattle a lot, offer ap...

I tried out the Edna, and it sounded lovely but it had pretty low headroom. It couldn't handle life as a drum overhead, and with vocals it overloaded (in a way that could be cool in the right context, but was definitely not intentional). Also tried it as a guitar amp mic for a live show, the sound w...

For this, I reach for an expander. Set up two different ones, one for quiet vocals and one for louder vocals, using side-chain filtering to make sure it's keying off the vocal and not the bleed. Then use your DAW's automation to engage them where appropriate. "Walla"!

Hey Portland friends! I have a hard drive from a live show that was multi-tracked to the venue's in-house HD24. I need to get the files off the drive and onto my computer so I can mix it down. Can anyone with the Firewire capabilities hook me up with a transfer? I'll buy you a 6-pack of a nice craft...

got a Shure KSM27 you don't ever use? need some cash? Lemme take it off your hands. I need one to complete a pair.

Well not very portable or programmable...but for what it DOES do, it is amusing... Not replacing any of the dedicated synths I have for sure, but surely better to rescue it than send it to the landfill... some of those Yamaha dual-manual home organs are just re-purposed boards from their combo orga...

I've mixed them live once, and it was unbelievably loud, but in a way that put a smile on my face. can't remember exactly how he put it, but their TM/translator gave me the advice that the lead guitar should be the loudest guitar that I've ever heard in my life. he was right. You should definitely b...

There's a couple ways to do this. Even though some house guys might not love this method, here's what I'd do in your shoes to not have to spend a ton of money and set up a bunch of stuff every show. It doesn't involve splitters or mixers at all. Get a 57, the Boss Space Echo pedal (which I have and ...

Seen them a few times, Kathy definitely plays through a tiny Fender guitar amp but I can't remember if it was a Blues Jr, Pro Jr, or maybe even one of those little solid-state ones that sound super gnarly if you turn them up.

I think it was definitely this:

killer! thanks so much for the double dose!

can someone PLEASE re-up?? I missed it the first time around.
