Budd - Rapeman. Insanely good sound.

Even if someone just nailed the most mind blowing, spin tingling take in the history of recording, I always try and contain myself, and when they say "how was it?" I say, "I dunno, what does everyone think?", and pass the buck. That way, if someone sucks - it's not my job to tell them. If the band l...

Sounding good. Rough and ready to be sure, but that seems to be appropriate, some how...?

I have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 150's which are pretty awesome closed back headphones. When I'm recording guitar I will put these on and just move the mic around in front of the amp without playing and listen for the hum/noise of the amp to hit the sweet spot. It seems to work pretty well. What ex...

The auto-tune article was a very interesting read. I've never used the auto-tune as an effect myself, however, I've never been against it. Can anyone think of an example where the "gerbil effect" was used on something other than a voice? I was thinking about this: to play any old random notes on a ...

But more important - if not, then why not ?!?!? I think because 9/10 people see music as background entertainment. They'll happily buy whatever record is currently being promoted in whatever newspaper/magazine they happen to read, because at the end of the day, it's just something to pass the time,...

i.e, everyone owned one at some point, but you grow out of them pretty quick.

So, is there anyone else that actually likes out of tune vocals? or is that just me? well, yeah... sometimes. I'm sure that you don't like out of tune vocals all the time. it think that is my responsibility... knowing when it's appropriate to correct the pitch. Sure. But to me, "good singing" doesn...

I've heard some outstanding music coming through nothing but a Mackie PA; the best gig of my year so far, infact.....?

Hey, cool, man. Hope I'm in that position when I'm 19.



*doubts it*

As an assistant engineer/tape-op & runner type character, perhaps I can offer something to this thread? heh. There's probably someone willing to do it for free; I am and do, fulltime. If you think you have something worthwile to teach, from this end of the stick, it seems a fair exchange; one on one...

Man, it's a spoonful of Nescafe in a mug where I work. What a shitty intern I must be.

I do - if I say so myself - make a damn good cup of tea though.

AUTOTUNED TURKEYS! this, is the final frontier!" That was fucking great. In the late 90s, when every other song had that over-'quantized' step in the vocal, I was just about 10 or 11, and I couldn't work out how the fuck people sang like that, then I realised if you punched yourself in the chest as...

A cognitive therapist could help you 'retrain' your thought processes. Some how, you have fallen into this pattern of mental behaviour (not an illness), so theres no reason why you can't change it, if its causing you problems, in the same way that people can be 'trained', or conditioned, out of phob...
