I worked for Walter for 3 awesome years. Forget an interview, write a book. That man is an original - the entire experience is overwhelming. So much information, so many stories, so many jokes, such a WIERD life. The man has, in his life: studied metallurgy built tubas played in the Philadelphia Phi...

it's all over quadrophenia -probably the clearest examples

i'm in. catering sounds good too.

She didn't go for it - she preferred delay on her low end. The more I tried to compress, the more high-end distortion I got. I don't even want to talk about t...

How about a portable DVD and some pornos?

Wait a second - mic level? Isn't that like line level? Then what the hell is speaker level? Isn't that when both speakers are level? Why am I using preamps? I need to trim the fat and just start using AMPS! Pre shmee! I'm going to bypass tape and plug straight into the ear! And another thing - why w...

This is my favorite method of all time - I never liked close miking anyway. Btw, it sounds excellent with ribbon mics - specifically coles or some nice 77s, but even the oktavas sound great on this. For more spice, I prefer class A pres on this - since the circuits open the whole time, the transient...
