I completely agree about your point on pro musicians, and I'd go as far to say that extends to almost all styles, except those like punk where the whole selling point of it is that you don't know how to play very well. And it is true that it is virtually impossible for pro level musicians to make a ...

Occupy Wallstreet: while I would be interested to hear the various thoughts and opinions from TOMB peeps on this issue, I'm with Justin. Do we really wanna go there? I have yet to see political discussions on message boards/social media sites go anywhere but in the toilet. Nurture our common intere...

This depends on what kind of reverb is appropriate for the music, and personal preference. My favorite one that I've tried was the LX480. It sounds so cool to me, but the problem with it is that it makes everything sound so "80s". Its not going to be the best fit for every use. I've tried the valhal...

Just a question out of curiosity. How did it end up sounding fake doing it one at a time? It makes so much more sense to me to do it that way, because you can put all your focus into each thing, instead of trying to serve 2 masters. To record both at the same time when you don't have to just doesn't...

I know Slash uses the real deal of 100 watt head cranked. I don't know for sure but I highly doubt any technique with smaller amps can imitate that feel. It sounds like its really being played in a stadium or something. Same thing with Eddie Van Halen. To me THAT's the sound of a loud guitar. This i...

I don't really consider spare parts to be "junk". Anything that might come in handy is good to keep around. If its a cheap, crappy radioshack style mic, yeah I'd never keep that around. I have a few things in my closet, under my bed and in random corners. 1. A broken 80s stereo tape recorder/player....

Re: Question on compressor use.
I see a lot of people are really liking compressors that don't have many controls, like for example the dbx 160 series doesn't have an attack control. If you use it at a ratio like 3:1 you have to always use a slow attack. For a lot of these compressors they say that its great for everything, but w...

I have a shure crystal monoplex. It sounds awesome, but it has absolutely no low end. I think it was originally made for radio broadcasting in the 40s. I'm going to try recording my guitar cab with this, and another microphone to pick up any low end. It seems like it could be a great way to EQ the ...
