I got that ride for $50 at the pawn shop.

Holy hell. That’s a steal.

Man, those Slingy’s sound great! And that ride is perfect for this kind of stuff.

Good stuff, Tony!

Yeap, she is the real deal when it comes to synth land.

For sure. The Grandmother is a wicked fun synth, by the way. Not sure if you’re looking for a poly, but for a really great mono, it’s excellent. 100% wet spring reverb sequences on that thing are my jam and bread.

I have a template in Reaper I use often, with four busses (Vocals, Drums & Bass, Guitars, Keys & FX) feeding the master buss. No brickwall limiting, but I do like compression on the busses more often than not, though typically in the 1-2 dB range. My four instrument busses then go out as pairs to a ...

Yours is the only copy I've ever seen.

Time for a reissue! Paging Brian Kehew...Brian Kehew...

I use a dB meter app on my phone and usually monitor around 65-70 dB's. I don't have a great room and only monitor through some smaller Adams, so I find the more I excite the room with volume, the more out of balance everything gets. I end up referencing a lot through some open-back Beyer headphones...

Holy cow. Got it when it was first issued, and mine’s a little worse for the wear. I wouldn’t sell it, and would love to see it reissued so more people could get a copy of it. Never fails to inspire.

Great tune. Don’t know which drum machine that is, but it does sound pretty saturated. I like it.

...and it’s spoken for.

I love the digital watch beeps that have occurred on more than one Flaming Lips song.

I'm hungry for a pair of M70 caps for my Gefell bodies. I have a KM84 but at this point getting a second one isn't going to happen (at the current prices). I've read that the M70 capsules are *very* close to the KM84 vibe. Grabbing a pair seems like the right move. Yeah, not sure how they compare t...

Microtech Gefell UM70 (multi-pattern M7) or M71 (cardioid-only M7) on either the 691 or 692 preamp body. I own both capsules and both preamp bodies. They are incredible mics for a wide range of instruments, but I feel like they really are wonderful as vocal mics. Definitely. I’ve got a M71 with a 6...

I really love the AEA, but most of what I’m doing from home is close-mic’ed. Interested in swapping it for a LDC - a Gefell UMT71 would be cool, but I’m open to offers.

I can add two Triton Fethead Germaniums in to help balance a trade out.

I like the "tape hiss" on the UAD ATR-102.

I’ve found that a touch of that hiss can help mask some mic self-noise that might show up only when the tracks using that mic are playing. Helps level out what might otherwise be an obvious appearance of noise, however low in the mix it might be.

Does a furnace count? If so....... A new furnace!!!!

Came home to a cold house. Apparently vintage is not a word that carries good connotations when you're talking HVAC.

Ughh. I’ve been there. Upstate NY in February and the furnace went kaput. That’s vintage mic kind of money right there.
