Hi friends. Selling my TSR-8 8 track machine. Serviced by Inner Sound last year. Been in closet ever since. Works/sounds great. With original manual, take up reel, 3 XLR/rca snakes, and a HanDMag demagnetizer! Also included is a sweet Berhinger headphone rack mixer/amp/thing. $450 for all! WOW! PDX ...

Thanks for listening. You can DL it here without registering: http://www.spy-island.com/spyisland/lp.html Also, we just got a sweet 4-star write up from allmusic! Check it: Spy Island is a Portland-based indie pop outfit with a slightly spaced-out edge (not entirely unlike a less lysergic the Flamin...

The drums were tracked @ a friend of a friend's studio in Vancouver, WA. They have a sweet old PM-1000 board in great shape, and the vibe of the studio is cool - wood walls and taxidermy boars (www.myspace.com/ripcordstudio). We tracked to PTools. Then, I consolidated tracks and transferred to Logic...

Did I mention it's FREE?

Thanks for the shout-out Electro-Voice!
And I love that your quote is Dead Kennedy's lyrics.
Cheers,

Hello friends. A couple friends and I are looking for a spot to rent, pool our gear, rehearse, and occasionally record. Portland, OR. There's a lot of "office" and "creative" spaces out there, but none that will tolerate live music. I've been searching Craigslist, etc. but so far have only found dir...

Woah, thanks for all the replies!

I just got back from a wedding in the dirty D (detroit), and will revisit this song. All this insight is inspiring to me. Thanks for listening.

I'm almost done with the entire album, which I will post a link to DL it for free for you guys.

More soon...

Thanks for the feedback!

This is what I wanna hear. Since the mixes are not final yet, and I work in a vacuum, I appreciate the honesty. Anything that helps me approach the tracks with a different perspective is helpful.

Anyone else out there in Message Board land?

Hello friends. Been recording a new LP. In a basement/apartment using a laptop with Logic, Hamptone pres, and modded Oktavas. I'm a TapeOp stereotype! Please take a moment to listen to a mix of a new track. It's called "Vegan Witch Wars." And if you have an extra minute, I'd love to hear feedback. F...

Hello TapeOpers! Selling my Avalon 737 channel strip. It sounds rad. Great condition, etc. I had my tech in Portland (Bryan Sours-he builds amps for Modest Mouse and The Shins!) install vintage/NOS tubes. He then insulated them which cuts down on heat and microphonic ringing. It also has more charac...

it's a bump. I'm that guy.
