this is probably completely way totally off fromwhat you're looking for, but check out "Tragic Magic" by Wesley Brown - the best written jazz performance i've ever come across. Kerouac sounds like Hanson in comparison.

Re: uh

Good lord. Who works in the morning? the guy that tracks a sketch late at night and halfway through realizes if he starts a fresh take he can have a final cut before his first class...and then ends up skipping class because twiddling the mix seems much more educational than listening to a prof who ...

Trust me, I've tried. put a ribbon on the beater just this morning, about 8" back and angled from snare side to pick up some rattle, and it's fitting perfect with the bass track i'm tweaking to sound like a tuba. yeah, i know, you said in ...

late to the thread, but going back to that high hats thing (is that a pun?) - plenty of beginning drummers i've known like 'em high, and then after about two or three years they start dropping 'em down and down until they're right over the snare...and then the last guy i recorded (who's been doing i...

yeah, let me be clear: i'm not an any way implying the price change is unfair - i've heard plenty of folks here and elsewhere complain about the little arm doohickeys that were found on the previous version.

Hope this isn't derailing the thread, but i'm dealing with somewhat similar issues in a current project: a three piece laborcore group i recorded a few weeks ago in their basement (the space was 12'widex7'highx40'deep - i thought it would be nasty, but it actually seemed to put a really cool vibe to...
