Re: Pedal harmonizers that work?
I did a session a bunch of years ago where the singer used the TC Helicon for "backing vocal" parts. I couldn't convince him to just sing the harmony or he couldn't, I don't know. Anyway, in the end I rigged up a second mic to feed the pedal so I could have the clean vocal and harmony on their own c...

Re: The bottom of the snare
I reca roscoenyc as a long-time proponent of The Pro,Jr., using them ( a pair, I think?) on stage with Earle. I think his might have been goosed, as, I believe, were Jeff Beck's. Lovely amp, awesome pedal platform but good sounding on it's own when ya want that just-at-breakup sound, it's perhaps l...

Re: widening stereo sources in a mix
I remember Chris Shaw mentioning a plugin that allows you to check to see if tracks are really stereo. You might search for that. Any phase meter plug will show you. I use stereo tool when I get a mix that's all stereo tracks. Sometimes looking at the waveform makes it obvious sometimes not. That's...

Re: widening stereo sources in a mix
A really short stereo delay can help (along the lines of the ableton haas delays you mentioned). I generally use different times on each side and usually set the ms rate in the teens or twenties. A good small room reverb can also be a big help. I have a few roll your own IRs that I use on acoustic i...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
Picked up a line 6 DL4 and a Maestro Discover Delay for use with my ambient improv band. Both are tons of fun. The Maestro in particular sounds dirty and fantastic.

Re: Mic pre in pedal form?
Thanks all! I had briefly debated trying to rig something with an altec 1588 octal mic preamp can. It seems like a lot of work though. I am running a jam man at the end of my chain. Thanks for reminding me that it has mic in! I would like to have access to all the pedals before it with a mic though....

Mic pre in pedal form?
I've started performing live drone and loop based ambient music. I'm playing guitar through a bunch of pedals and loopers (including a uher report L running tape loops) and want to add the option using my voice in the same chain. I'm trying to track down a mic pre in a pedal format that will run off...

Re: How to structure a multi-part session
If you have the option to leave things set up then doing full songs from start to finish is a great way to work but setting up and tearing down each session is a real time suck.
If "someone else's space" means your paying a day rate or rental then it's also going to eat up budget.

McCurdy ever time. Ward Beck is a close second.

Re: rotating speaker alternative
Found an image of the Mark II version: Califone-stereo.jpg Awesome!!! It's not hard to find single rotor leslie baffles pulled from old home organs. They're basically a styrofoam version of your Mark 2 turntable leslie. I had one for a while and it did an ok job. There's no horn but you get some of...

Re: For themaya's is recording sessions straight thru,
I did this for bed tracking on my bands last record. Because I was engineering and playing I just let the computer roll once we were set up. I kept a copy of the main session master as is. Then when it was time to work on each song I made a session for each tune and imported all the takes of said tu...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
My friends and I play a rag-tag live show every year or so... and we got tired of ganging-together 2 small mixers with a powered pa-head/mixer, so I went ahead and bought a used Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer... and damn! this is maybe the quietest mixer I've ever used. And the flexibility of the aux routi...

Re: SDCs for Choir & Orchestra & Audience recordings (sennheiser 80xx)
I can't speak to those specific mics but my experience recording audiences (usually for comedy but music too) is that a tight pattern gives me the best results. Hypercardiod is great, shotgun mics are even better. I put them on either side of the stage, behind the mains, ponting across the audience ...

Amazon is fun for cheapo pedals. Some are actually decent some aren't.
