I toured with a well known songwriter for five years. We had a full crew, our own sound people, backline people etc. The guy had great guitars. He had the K&K pickup and internal microphone setup with a high end channel strip type preamp for the DI and the internal mic. I really love the K&K pickup ...

Tried one once. Bad results.

It puts the mic too close to the skin.

It doesn't have to.

The heavy duty Atlas stand with the suspension in it is still a great one. I think everybody ought to have at least one for their 'good' vocal mic. Super solid and stable. https://vintageking.com/atlas-ms25e-pro-microphone-stand-w-air-suspension-ebony The Triad-Orbit stuff is mighty good too. Next l...

Both of the kicks I have the internal mics in have some holes in the shells from older mounts (tom mount on the Premier, marching band harness on the 26" Ludwig). A lot of older kicks may also have some holes where the legs have been replaced or where an on the drum ride cymbal stand was. The air ho...

As a guy who really loves the sound and the response of a 2 headed kick drum with no hole in it I have been using a much less complicated version of an internal kick mic for most of the records cut at our place for over 20 years. The mount is a simple job that attaches to the nuts on the inside of t...

I really liked the hearing aids part of the Lukather interview. It's important, a lot of musicians (and engineers) have had significant hearing loss and there's a huge stigma around it.

Especially the folks that waited a long time to start using protection for live gigs.

Thanks Eric! You can see my range of musical taste sneaking through here I guess....

And we are thankful for that!

I always measure a spaced pair's distance from the snare. Mostly because it takes about 1 minute and it's definitely not going to hurt. Sure, use your ears most of all, but I like knowing that the sound from the snare is reaching each mic at the exact same time. Then forget about how the tom and fl...

Here's a couple web articles on the gear part.

Guitar World's run down of the gear

But there are things I simply can't do effectively - or at all - in this space that I hadn't realized how much I was relying on. Re-amping, quickly recording custom drum samples, and most of all just walking around the room to get a different perspective (this room isn't big enough for that.) Have ...

U67's everywhere! I've never seen so many in one place.

I guess this was also a super feather in the cap of Fender's Don Randall to get them all that gear at just the right time too.

Not a Coles or a Vox to be seen!

I'm going to get some heavy-duty metal cabinets for organizing stuff around the studio.

We have the Husky brand cabinets at the studio and they have been really great.
I have one at home too for bike parts.
