Re: Does anyone use overheads?

As per the other thread, I quite like having the "overheads" down at or below cymbal height, and positioning them for the best overall drum sound/ balance/ stereo spread, which often means one in front and one on the floor tom side. Even so when it comes to mix time, quite often I start with good i...

Re: vinyl collecting ( and surrounding planetary atmosphere )

No, sorry shed. That was a personal experience. I heard it back in the late 80's/early 90's in Colorado. The Shatner thing is on YouTube (or it used to be), but the Jackson thing was worse. I've done a few tough ones myself, but only _one_ of mine beat this poor kid's nadir, it was the time I (tried...

Re: Impedance Matching Tascam 238

I'm sure one or more of our technically erudite posters will chime in if I am incorrect, and I don't specifically have a 238, so take this next bit with a pinch of salt. But I have a studio full of pro, prosumer, and consumer gear all interfacing. It's usually not that big of a deal (more gain neede...

Oh, I thought that was a visual, physical manifestation of his cloudy mindedness, which makes him so vexed that it leads him to blast young radio interns just trying to help him promote his albums and tours...

Re: Getting reviewed

I've got the Rat Shack. There's only one, and it's safe in the hold, so my advice is fuhgeddaboudit... As to the review opportunity-- on the one hand, I say "SCAM!!" But on the other hand, having some experience with the process, I say it's a different world and a different business these days, so I...

Re: NAMM 2018 Thread.

Months late to the party of course. Months late and a year. I went to NAMM 2017 Nick. First time. Awesome experience, but overwhelming. I could only go one day. So much stuff, so much walking, so many people. I would go back again, but I think I'd have to have a plan rather than aimlessly wander. Yo...

Re: How To: Replace an 8-Track R2R with a Laptop

I remember BITD, a colleague had a stand-alone, screen-less Vestax HD recorder. Worked great, but what a pain to cue and edit with a jog-wheel and a few LEDs (no other visual).

I would either go all-in digital (or at least have some visual reference, like on my Korg D3200), or stay analog.

Re: vinyl collecting ( and surrounding planetary atmosphere )

Nice! The Police set is on blue vinyl, yes? I think that's the one I've been looking for an available and affordable copy of for awhile. Joe Jackson is a great pop artist, and I loved his Jumpin' Jive thing too. But I lost all respect for him when I heard him pull a Shatner on this poor kid trying t...
