Re: HOW OLD ARE YOU???

33. One newborn son. Been playing bass for 15 years+. Lots of releases and touring. Not so much touring now, but still writing songs and playing bass for a band called the Arrogants. Starting building my studio about 3 years ago, because I didn't want to pay anybody else to mess up my recordings; th...

Re: sticky thread for newbies?

many questions which seem like newbie questions (like, "what does a compressor do?") are actually complex and intereesting questions and should be asked over and over to get us to think about them anew. There are some questions i've answered multiple times in different ways, and it helped me each t...

Re: miking the snare shell revisited

I must say, I really like this board. It's great to get ideas on recording that might not be the norm.

Re: why bad musicians play loud part 2

having read most of the last post on this matter, the only thing I can think of saying is that, luckily for you, bands like that don't last very long. Sometimes I think a proposal for making the cost of every guitar a minimum of $1000 would stop most of the crappy music. People would start thinking ...

Re: how much did you make yesterday?

made about $500 dollars recording/producing a friend of mine (about 7 songs). the music is in the Lorena McKennit (???)vein. Far different than what I usually do, but it was quite the challenge, and really cool stuff too.

I really like this.

Re: gear and minimalism

Sometimes having to much gear can be a distraction. Some of the best stuff I've worked on is when I didn't have a lot of gear to choose from

Re: MP3 & the TapeOp mindset

Well, I pretty much agree with her 100%. In my perfect world, the recording industry would be completly crushed and all orginal artists would be given back their works to do with as they please. People like micheal jackson would be beaten for buying out someone else's works from underneath them to p...

Re: Why do terrible musicians insist on playing so loud?

loud hides the badness. I agree with this one. Why do you think that the sound guys at clubs turn everything up louder than is called for in the room: because 95% of the bands out there suck and they only want to hear themselves loud. The better I got as a player, I noticed that the volume went dow...

Re: ANYTHING BEHRINGER - yeah it's cheap, but we all use it.

I love the fact that it's so cheap. Let's here it for the Chineese. The units i have are like the more expensive pieces of equipment I have: they can be tempermental, but if you use them right, they get the job done.

My only problem is that I can't use anything right.

Re: Why I like Guitar Center

There's a guy in the Brea, CA GC that I've been talking to for about 3 years now. He only works there on Sat. He's a good source of info and always incourages me to buy elsewhere (online, ebay, ect.) Everyone else there is an idiot. Sometimes for fun, I go in there to ask the idiots a very specific ...

Re: NAMM show in Nashville this weekend

i went to my first NAMM when it was last here in California. I had a blast. I spent a couple of days there checking our all sorts of cool toys and listening to music. I got to meet Bootsy.
I wish I was going to the Nashville show.
