Re: FS or Trade (still) Oberheim DX: old school drum machine

For anybody else interested in an identical drum machine I've got one up at work. Call me at Ron Busch Guitar Studio in Clayton, MO (314) 725 - 9558. I'll try to talk him into dumping it for cheap.

Re: Join me in the abject hatred of mic 'useage'

Everyone here quickly forgets we're smart enough to turn a couple of knobs and everyone else buys into the 'magic' of someone with a golden pitch corrected voice who can dance and has sweet-sweet-sweet teenage boobies. Awwww fuck it and turn off the sound and kick some old Blondie or Eurythmics anyt...

Re: Amp that goes both ways

I've worked in new and used music retail for 7 and half years and have recorded many a bass and guitar track. Here's my non-profit advice. For bass: If you're pawn savy keep your eye out for any solid-state with a 15" speaker: brands Ampeg, Crate, Kustom, Peavey, Sunn, Fender (BXR Models), Yamaha, e...

Re: Clearchannel drops Stern

For my quick two cents. I have a freind who works for a morning show for Clearchannel. I personally can't stand any morning show, I define them all as people laughing at themselves with set-up or fake guests who generally attempt to offend people but usually end up simply boring. Stern's getting fir...

Re: Haunted Recording Studio!

Who joked about miking ghosts? At my friend's house I tracked the noise in a room including a space heater and the standard ambience. After noise redux again and again I swear I can hear a female voice whispering. So here's a crazy idea put up a mic or pair in the quietest space you know and crank t...

what's the worst song ever with the best timbre

What's the greatest waste of a killer guitar sound sound, or destructive keyboard sound or perfect kit spoiled by a 'Milly Vanillny' something. What timbre failed to reach perfection because the focus of production was on a set of untallented trendy photogenic types?

Re: TRON

Replaced footage can go either way. In Blade Runner I feel it added. I thought the extra scenes in Aliens weren't too shabby. My biggest beef of the Star Wars redux wasn't the added critters or the half-assed Jaba scene (which was originally shot with a human as Jaba), but the fact that Lucas felt t...

Re: MTV Awards...

I admit these posterchildren for birth control are not my first choice for high praise, but I also think any pat on the back would be well received by the culturally humoured like some macey's day balloon in your own likeness. Yes the masses missed your joke, but they laughed anyway. (albeit enconfo...

Re: two Fairchild 662's

They have barrier strips. Six terminals, with terminals 1 & 4 being audio input. Terminals 2 & 5 are (as best as I can figure) an -18 volt power supply. (the terminal attached to B- goes to the card attached to the negative end of 200 uF 25v and the cathode end of a diode) Terminals 3 & 6 come from ...

two Fairchild 662's

I think I'm going to sell two Fairchild 662's for $150 each. They have output X-formers but no input x-formers. Hit this forum if you're interested then I'll post email.

Re: MTV Awards...

I heard Duran Duran received a life time acheivement award. I feel the band itself is very underated and you'd have to admit well recorded.

Re: new cd copy-proofing

I ask every person to appeal to their heart. The spirit of copyright law says listen and pay me a 'thanks'. The 'thanks' might be $.25 It might be free due to banners. It might be free as promotion. It is bullshit to look a master muscian in his eye and say you are worth the price of a blank CD ( an...

Re: P 90 pickups

I love big single coils. Even cheap ones (pulled from Ibanez, other knockoff's) sound great. The orignal design has been around forever. This leads me to believe several companies have constructed well made copies of this pick-up. Before you buy expensive units try a couple of cheap ones.

Re: new cd copy-proofing

It's all well and good if we were all playing by the rules. The definition of a copyright is simple "a limited duration monopoly" (p207 in Donald Passman's book 'All You Need to Know About the Music Business'). If we all played 'fair-use' by the letter and the spirit there would be no problems. If e...
