eric, I can make it anatomically correct if you want, but that might add on a whole bunch of extra weight for you to have to haul around.

that does however, offer up a better place for the sliding mirror...

the locals love me.

I dont think I could deal with downtown, ideally I'd like to find something on the west side, but Im not holding my breath on that one. It looks like this is turning into a fall move, so I have a little bit of time over the summer to figure this out.

A rhodes is something that needs constant maintainence. You need to learn to do this yourself. We always spend an hour or two tweakig before we record it, its not really something you set and forget. I mean, you can, but once you can get around on it, it really pays off to tweak. Its sorta like brin...

I think in most cases, when you purchase a matched pair from a manufacturer, all they are doing is measuring the frequency response of each microphone and then making pairs available which have the exact frequency response, or a frequency response within a given tolerance of each other. If you were ...

I cant go, but was thinking of having the Real Doll people make a soundguy doll. Eric, do you want to cart it around for me and bring it to all the best parties?

Im going to see if they can put a slide out mirror under the moustache.

ok, this is the rhodes bible all in one place: http://www.badrat.com/ Every little last thing you need to know about maintaining a rhodes can be found here. It took me about 5 years of practice, but with that info you can get any rhodes up to george duke or jan hammer standards. It is SOO much work,...

Man, I was involved in a situation like this. I worked at this studio and Dan lanios was renting a studio in the building. People would constantly rent stuff from dan's collection. One day, I was assisting a session and the artist wanted a minimoog, which wasnt available anywhere in the building, in...

AC in USA is 110V. Most countries in Europe are 220. You can either get a transformer to run your stuff, or on some sophisticated power supplies, you can change the wiring on the primaries. There is a good amount of rack gear that has a switch on the back which you just slide over to the 220v positi...

heylow- you've really got to set up your rhodes if you want it to sound good. You have to treat the thing exactly like a guitar, its got basically, guitar pickups over every tine. I would ditch that speaker cab, its a solid state amp. Plug it into what you would your guitar and record it exactly the...

I think a kick drum, maybe more than a lot of other sources, really benefits from a great mic and a great amp. You can not have the best gear and get a great guitar sound, but the two things I always was in hell with was kick and bass, until I got some decent mics. Ive been recording kick lately wit...

The doll kinda grooves on other peeps licking peanut butter off it...

man, I use akg c12a's on literally every session I do, thats totally my go to mic. I just got a BLUE lollipop for a akg c28 and the thing sounds like a holy war. AKG made incredible microphones. They just havent made an incredible one in such a long time. The mics AKG has made in the last 10 years r...

FYI- the circuit in the 1176's that people fiend after is either the 1108 amp or the 1109 amp, both of which you can get raw. The new 2108 preamp is apparently based on the 1108. I have three 1108's and they are just the sickest amplifiers that do a thing that is beyond the pale. So, in theory, if y...
