Brubeck's Time Out Session
I used to make a monthly run up the coast to a great record store called Lou's Records in Encinitas, California. It was one of those places where it was immediately obvious that musicians helped shape the inventory as you could find obscure titles in almost every genre. Lou's is still there and, des...

Pretty basic ensemble. Drums, guitar, bass, vocal and maybe amplified and/or acoustic harmonica as appropriate. We've done pretty minimalist recordings (much of our last record was made with 4 mics). I loved the last Mellencamp record produced by T-Bone Burnett. That record was basically a single 44...

Single Microphone Project
All, I have been wanting to try recording an entire band with a single mic for some time. I have worked on some demos with a single mic but never tried to actually pull it off. When I did try it, I used an AEA R84 because of the figure 8 pattern. Has anyone tried to record in this fashion, if so wha...

There are two records on the Candid label released as Otis Spann titles but it's really as much Lockwood as Otis Spann. If I recall, it's mostly just duo stuff. Lockwood's playing is perfect. The names of the records are "Otis Spann is the Blues" and "Walkin' the Blues" respectively. One of my frien...

Jimmy, There have always been rumors that Pat Hare slit his speakers to achieve a more distorted sound. Remember, these guys were trying to emulate horns and were heavily influenced by jazz. Distortion was a means to an end. I reject the notion that guitars should be out of tune or things intentiona...

I can completely relate to how those of you who have posted feel. A few years back I heard this record by Little George Sueref that crushed me. I am a huge fan of the Excello label and have spent much of the last decade searching for or recording music that captures the feel of those Lightning Slim ...

ProTools Help - All faders moving in sync but not grouped
I have a problem that cannot be remedied with penicillin. The good news is that it doesn't hurt when I pee the bad news is that I cannot figure a seemingly simple problem in ProTools. I have a session that I recorded a while back and during mixdown, all of the faders started moving as if they were g...

I made one a few years ago out of a wooden TV tray. I used an active pickup mounted to the bottom. It sounded like a bass drum. In hind site, I should have just used a bass drum. Lazy Lester uses a tamborine mounted on the end of a wooden contraption that looks like a fire stoker. It's amazingly lou...
