I asked about just using time instead of measure line-ups and he went off about how that's SO HARD to deal with and what a headache for the engineer. So I eventually stopped going to that class and just worked on my compositions... good move. seriously. i second the 424 suggestion. they're way chea...

i'm all on the @#$% computer. i have a mackie 24/8 that gets used only for monitoring when tracking. i used to track and mix on it. when i moved to doing it all on the computer i used it for awhile as a gigantic volume control between the soundcard and the amp. at some point i bypassed it and just c...

I gotta like that.

Some of the most ridiculous sessions could be the best of all. to that end, i would've liked to have been there for 'texas funeral' by jon wayne... more seriously, everyone knows the legend of the stones sessions...hours and hours of unformed meandering, then out of nowhere there's the song, and yo...

hahaha. i have heard that actually, now that you refresh my permanently addled memory. good stuff. i gotta imagine it was a pretty intimidating scene for an outsider....

dude. I'd give my left nut to have been at "we are the world", bro. Like, awesome. that woulda been pretty sweet dude, but i'd pick the metal version of same. hear n aid i think it was called? can't remember what the song was called. it was GREAT though. e minor, d AND c. blackie lawless and kevin ...

oh yeah man. have you read robert palmer's (r.i.p.) account of recording with scratch, that whole hazing ritual with the crackers? what a trip. no, don't know anything about it, do tell! oh to be the white boy in a room fulla dreds. with mouth fully shut the entire time! just sit there and learn. i...

yes.

i got one of the crown ones for free from someone a million years ago, and my roommate just came home the other day with a realistic one he found at work. damn i'm a lucky guy. i got really cool results using the crown on the floor right behind my drum throne. i had tried it out in the room and it w...

duh. i completely forgot...any classic reggae session? i would've loved to have been in the room hearing those guys lay down those grooves. likewise being able to hang out while tubby or scratch were doing dubs. preferably sitting on a couch at the back of the room so the bass would be REALLY overpo...

damn, you all have such good taste. most of mine have already ben mentioned...achtung baby, dirty, loveless, anything miles/coltrane/van gelder related, hendrix, old VH, beasties, etc....i gotta think of something to add... ah... the first 5ive style record. a classic. to me at least. i think anythi...

I sold John King an Electro Harmonix MicroSynth on eBay a few years back. hahaha. my bandmate just lost a bid to him a couple months ago. i forget what the item was... him and MMW could be an interesting combination. if you like pauls boutique (as any right thinking person does) you'd prolly like s...

I want to be blown away again. the first time i saw them was in 1994, before 'friday afternoon in the universe' came out. i had heard a little bit of 'it's a jungle in here'. anyway, i was at the show with a group of about 10 friends. we were all speechless for their entire set. just one of those '...

I haven't listened to uninvisible too much, i prefer the dropper, and i much prefer their old stuff...they used to actually write TUNES, now they get by on the fact that they can bullshit on such a high level. save the flames, i'm the hugest fan of theirs, i'm just grousing. anyway, i think with bot...

good on analog synths as well.
