it's almost like they'd previously sold stuff to a guy who wasn't really ready to handle all that gear, just to make a sale.

0 or 1 = true/false = on/off = peak or valley read by the laser.

i never heard anything about bonham using tin foil, which would make a ton of noise, i imagine. i always heard he liked cut up strips of newspaper.

yes, it only takes up to 512 compact flash cards. i got a stoopid deal on amazon for a bunch of them. roland has a new pad out, the octopad, that i looked into briefly, but i'm not ready to upgrade yet. you may want to see how it lets you load and organize samples - it might be a little more modern ...

yep, get an SPD-S unless you want to carry a laptop around with you. i love mine.

I'm pretty sure he is one of the oracles that is giving her advice. blow her mind and tell her that you can even put a click on tape and build ...

What's the best frequency, Kenneth?

your biggest problem is panning. everything's on the left!

AND WHO THE HELL IS THIS???

certainly didn't mean to call rumsfeld a wise man or anything, don't misunderstand me.

Funny thing is, I really don't care what the guitar amp sounds like in the room. I always have the head in the control room and the cabinet in the iso booth. I tweak the sound listening through the monitors to what the mics are picking up. Now, it turns out that when you go into the room, the guita...
