That’s the Joe Bonamassa signature edition perpetual melody machine.

Re: Andy Martin, Knopfler, Buckingham..who are some awesome fingerstyle players?

Richard Thompson has a beautiful approach to fingerstyle playing - really delicate and lyrical. And I like John Fahey for the opposite reasons - he seemed to get some grit and twang in his playing.

Re: What are your influences?

This is fun to read.

When I was a kid, I was so taken by Ben E. King's Stand By Me. It sounded like the perfect expression of emotion. I'm still chasing that.

Yeap, she is the real deal when it comes to synth land.
For sure. The Grandmother is a wicked fun synth, by the way. Not sure if you’re looking for a poly, but for a really great mono, it’s excellent. 100% wet spring reverb sequences on that thing are my jam and bread.

Re: limiting busses in rock music - digital

I have a template in Reaper I use often, with four busses (Vocals, Drums & Bass, Guitars, Keys & FX) feeding the master buss. No brickwall limiting, but I do like compression on the busses more often than not, though typically in the 1-2 dB range. My four instrument busses then go out as pairs to a ...

Re: How loud do you listen?

I use a dB meter app on my phone and usually monitor around 65-70 dB's. I don't have a great room and only monitor through some smaller Adams, so I find the more I excite the room with volume, the more out of balance everything gets. I end up referencing a lot through some open-back Beyer headphones...

Re: Recording The Beatles book - fyi

Holy cow. Got it when it was first issued, and mine’s a little worse for the wear. I wouldn’t sell it, and would love to see it reissued so more people could get a copy of it. Never fails to inspire.

Re: Identify this drum machine sound

Great tune. Don’t know which drum machine that is, but it does sound pretty saturated. I like it.

Re: Best vocal mic under 2K?

I'm hungry for a pair of M70 caps for my Gefell bodies. I have a KM84 but at this point getting a second one isn't going to happen (at the current prices). I've read that the M70 capsules are *very* close to the KM84 vibe. Grabbing a pair seems like the right move. Yeah, not sure how they compare t...
