Yo Tater, I also remember some interview of phil spector where he said he became a record producer because then he could make the records that he wanted. He also said he was screwed out of a lot of money when he had his first hit(as a pop star), and that the producer was the one who made all the mon...

I think I'll play devil's advocate here. If a client sees you making a decision with coins or dice or the magic eight ball, I'm sure they would ask the question "What the hell am i paying this person for?", because it certainly isn't this person's "expertise". If you flip a coin, don't get caught do...

Shocked, shocked and appalled am I at such shady doings. If Joel were honest, he would include a sticker that says "Recorded with REVERB !", or "Recorded by a charlatan whose only mission is to make more money by adding reverb to everything!". If I were him I would also add a voiceover on top of the...

I know this is a thread on snobbery, but we are not... ahem..."nerds". We are much cooler than nerds whether you do this as work or hobby. I prefer to think of tapeoppers as geeks, i.e. someone who has skills that other people could get, but they prefer not to. Like circus freaks who bite the heads ...

Whenever I get to bogged down in gear lust or spend too much time getting A sound, I always try to remember that records more or less started as a souvenir from a performance. Music is a performance art, not something static like a painting or a recording. A great recording is a great recording, but...

Re: what's that sound on the Smiths' "Ask"?
There was an article a few years ago with Johnny Marr where he said it was an harmonica going into a boombox with the "loudness" knob turned all the way up, or something like that. He was just riffing, no vocoders or gates or anything.

Re: Minimalist micing thoughts
If you have a good drummer and a nice room, then you should use less microphones. Recording isn't about wasting resources or trying to impress people with how many mics you have. (or maybe it is :wink: ) But if your drummer aint so hot or you need a lot of isolation, you don't really have a choice w...

Re: Beatles Drums
If you want ringo's sound, just ask him, he seems like a pretty nice guy. If you've ever picked up any beatles bootlegs, he just sounds like that naturally without too much studio chicanery. I love the way he plays, I think he damps the drum head with his stick when he hits the drumhead, or somethin...
