Re: Ignorance

On the flip side I get a lot of punk rockers who will record with me because I am an analogue recordist (or because I don't use PT.) It is mostly because they have had such negative experiences with it (or at least clowns who had no idea what they were doing with it.) A tool is a tool. Any medium ca...

I just wish someone would do a decent mastering job on Birds of Fire by The Mahavishnu Orchestra. The CD is horrendous.

Re: How do you get that filter sweep in The Nazz "Open

I found a way to do it in SoundForge by taking to versions of the same section of music and pitchbending one of them ever so slightly. Then mix the two versions togther.

Re: How do you get that filter sweep in The Nazz "Open

I want to trigger a filter sweep like the big ones over the chorus of The Nazz "Open My Eyes" - See the Nuggets compilation, or the S/T Nazz LP (CD). I just don't know what they might be using... but I have a MicroMoog and/or Alesis Philtre that OUGHT to be able to do it if I understood what was ha...

Re: Most ANNOYING drum sound?

A few years back a friend of mine and I did a project called Santa's Bootleg. The premise was Christmas songs as if they have been recorded by famous groups. They were mostly original songs (formula: take thre of the groups popular hooks and change them slightly and combine into one song.) King Crim...
