hmm, i've never noticed it changing as the ambulance/whatever comes closer, but maybe that's because it's more gradual?

anyway, thanks for the link.

ok, imagine an ice cream truck/ambulance/fire truck driving by your house. when it gets closer and closer, the tone stays the same, it just gets louder, right? ok, then howcome almost immediately after it passes by the pitch bends down nearly half a step?? does anyone know what I'm talking about or ...

and now the *tape* is sold too.

*RNC sold*

1 FMR RNC= purchased from Mercenary Audio over the summer, hardly used, works great and looks new. Power Supply inc., lost the 'manual' (ie. laser printout) though. $100 Box of Quantegy 456 1/4" tape= ordered a box of 5 in August, used one and haven't even touched the other 4. 7" plastic hubs. $20 f...

i'm sure that setup in the right hands could sound pretty good and possibly great. i'd be more worried about most of that stuff breaking in about 6 months..

the beyer DT770s are the nicest headphones i've heard, although they run about $200 which might be too much for you. frequency response of 30k-5hz! (though i'm not sure how you'd even test that low end)

I just find it a shame that such talent goes unpaid and unnoticed for so long, there should be some sort of grant system or something, I mean these guys are one of many bands who toil in the club circuits for years and just kind of stay in the same tax bracket. i personally feel like that 'reunited...

'junkyard' blows all their other stuff away sonically and musically imo. the earlier records occasionally have that dead gang of four-ish ambience to them and the later stuff is too loungy/solo Cave sounding for me, but 'junkyard' rules. it sounds like an indestructable live band set up in a giant r...

he sounds like a constipated michael stipe on this.

i thought so too. there's a nasal quality to it that makes you wanna kill. the songs seemed pretty meandering and hookless too. i'm glad i didn't buy it.

thanks for listening to those songs. i should mention that i didn't mix this, just tracked it. i took it to a friend's studio, uploaded it track by track to their Nuendo and let the singer/guitarist and engineer do their thing. i pretty much agree with all your mixing points actually: -they re-trigg...

i recently recorded a friend's band at my house on the trusty 'ol Br-8. they were breaking up and wanted to document leftover songs from their setlist. Dartanian :twisted: the songs are called 'just can't stop the rock' and 'a man named d'artagnan'... yeah.. anyway, tell me what ya think (despite th...

'math rock' is the term applied basically to anything with lots of odd time signatures; anything from don caballero to jesus lizard to faraquet. it's very cheeky, but it comes in handy.. "hey, i think you would like my music. it combines the exaggerated dynamics of the 'Rite of Spring' but instead o...

i downloaded this a month or two ago but just wanted to say it's badass. i worked at albertsons in my teen years and this song really fits my memories of that souless job..

i was just about to suggest those. i really like 609s for floor toms so i can imagine them sounding really good maybe an inch or two outside of the bass drum resonant head.
