Alright, what the hell is going on with these guys? That's 3 posts I?ve read today in which @?,*???&? bags on everything More Space Echo says, with no apparent reason. I noticed that they joined the very same day; I smell an alter-ego here. Maybe a Jekyll and Hyde. jeff and i really joined on the s...

I think Jazzmasters (and Jaguars) might be the most beautiful solid body electrics I've ever seen, to this day. I have an early 60s Jazzmaster (doesn't have its original neck, but one taken from a 90s reissue, I think, so it's not some posh all-stock original), and it's definitely the most comfortab...

[quote="jmoose" ....you could always ask them to tighten up the hats so they aren't doing the semi-open wash thing. Closed hats & tight hats are good! [/quote] sometimes the open high-hat thing is a deliberate, stylistic choice. there are gazillions of songs that demonstrate this. 'kid' by the prete...

what everybody up above said. but, also, sometimes throwing an additional mic underneath the snare helps too. from my experience, you get more of the crack and less low-end stuff when you mic under the snare (say, throw a 57 beneath the snare, close to the rim, coming in at an angle). but you may al...

Trod, bring back the eye!!! Don't let these guys with weak stomachs get to you!!!

guerilla recording in oakland, run by myles boisen (inerviewed in tape op a year or two ago). great place, nice funky vibe, all analog, and myles has an awesome collection of mics. he's a fun guy to work with too, and has been running the place with a guy named bart thurber for years. bart tends to ...

who put electrodes on who's nuts? The U.S. has been torturing detainees all along. Abu Grahib is standard practice. There are many reports from areas such as El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, etc., where tortured folks who lived to talk ID'd a norte amercano (cia) in the room while the tortures to...

certain songs from the first 3-4 u2 albums are kind of a guilty pleasure for me. i always kinda dug that driving, edgy rhythm section coupled with the edge's atmospheric, echoplex'd out post-punk, spare/melodic guitar playing. it was like a keen, artful sense of melody laid down over some pretty raw...

brian is just crazy...it comes with being a genius. i recommend you listen to the old bootleg tapes from the 60's...blows the new recording out of the water... i've loved the original recordings for years, but to say they blow the new recordings out of the water is total hyperbole. i mean, i respec...

i thought it was just edited in pro-tools. i know for a fact they did use the same kind of console that was used for the original recordings, at least for all of the vocal tracks. the album certainly doesn't *sound* like pro-tools. some of it sounds like they took original recordings and digitally r...

i'm in columbus ohio, of all places, for the next few days. are there any good record stores out here? as in, places that sell vinyl? if not, maybe i should go do some vote-counting. Try the dumpsters behind the State Republican Party headquarters. You should find some ballots from predominantly bl...

welcome to the town of columbus and columbus. I live here, it is a nice place. There's a record store called Lost Weekend that's at 2960 N. High St, probably 3-4 miles north of campus, it's a tiny tiny store like 8 feet wide, but I hear they have an interesting selection. Never been (don't vinyl, s...

Magnolia Thunderpussy (High Street close to 5th - right next to Skully's music diner) and Used Kids (High Street on campus). Mag's is mainly new vinyl though. Used Kids has a alot of used vinyl. Sour Records is also good but that is technically in Westerville. Speaking of Skully's there is a great ...

did you ever use the ml-52 on distorted guitar? if so , how was it? ryan not really. i've typically shyed away from using ribbons on distorted guitar, but that's partly because when i record distorted guitar, i turn the amp up pretty loud. i have used it on kinda fuzzed out guitar, and it sounded p...
