You could try the Menatone Top Boost In A Can. Also the BGFE Emerald Green Distortion Machine. Good luck finding the Emerald Green.... though

The guitar sound in "At Least That's What You Said" was one of Tweedy's LesPauls throught a Silvertone 1472 ( http://personalpages.tds.net/~jonarthr/ ... nerest.htm). I forgot where I read that but, there is a picture od a 1472 at sear sound in the wilco book.

simple but anyway: Apple g (or i guess ctrl?? g on pc) for grouping tracks. Shift apple N for new track, apple and arrows to move to diffrent tracks so you can name them without clicking on each one

Heat up that same coffe can on the burner of your stove, then burn the hole in the head. much easier and will leave you with a cleaner "cut"

The deal is that i'll be recording some songs for a guy that has no band. The material isn't amazing. I also have to put a band together for him. There is a really great drummer that I know of (talked to him once for thirty seconds at a show) and would love to use in the future as well. Should I wai...

I read he picked up the kit he used on The Band at a pawn shop in LA for $30.

If you record a section of the drums and zoom in on the waveforms you can check and see if everything is in phase. I guess some would consider it cheating but its a good way to double check.

got a link to anything you have done?

A guy I work for is on a couple of "boards" like the grammy board etc. he sits through meeting all the time where they discuss this. I for get the exact life expectancy (i'll ask next time i speak with him) but I do know that the experts say you should at least fire up the hard drive every three mon...

To rely on just OVH's or just room mics only makes sense to me if the drummer is really really good. They could get away with recording Bonham with so few mics because he played the drums as a musican;balancing the kit when he was playing. It dosen't work for most drummers though in my experience. S...

If it were me I would go with Audio Technica 4033's you could probably pick up a pair for half of what your looking to spend

BJFE Candy Apple Fuzz
or
Ampeg Scrambler

I think a big part of the gear aspect is what happens before the microphone. If your talking about 60's drum sounds I think a huge part of the sound is in the drum heads and tunning. You can take the same drum kit, same signal path but change the heads and tunning and you go from moderen to sounds l...

this is a little off topic but has anyone tried the eventide plugin in on kick, there is a preset under utilites for kick that was just huge. I was just checking it out becasue a friend got an HD rig. i will never use it mainly because I ccan't afford it but it was pretty cool would be a really good...
