and if you stick a contact mic on the chest of the drummer before you shoot him, you can get a really sick bass drum sound too. i shit you not. I'm really anxious to try this technique, but I have limited knowledge about and access to guns. What kind of gun should I use? Does it have to be an expen...

Just make sure to then reamp that to trigger another gunshot.

I was just messing around with a very old version of Acid, which deals with stringing loops together to create tracks. I love my old Acid program. Sitting on the there for hours on end was on of the catalysts that led me into engineering. I think loops can add significantly to a song's structure an...

Johnny Cash, At Folsom Prison

+1 I have been listening to this recently and love it. Such a good record and a great performance. Nothing else like it.

i like music. and i don't think anyone owns a melody. a Nobody owns a melody. You can whistle anything you want to. You can play anything you want to.

It looks like Coldplay may be guilty of copyright infringement according to the law, and we will see for sure how it turns out. But doesn't this whole thing seem a bit silly?

Thanks, JV. That advice helps.

I am recording onto a partitioned internal hard drive. I have 24Gb free at the beginning of the session. No plugins, no other programs running. I setup r...

Unfortunately we never get to hear all the reject songwriting attempts that were submitted. I think that would be interesting. My buddy...

I am needing a couple pairs of studio headphones. If you have some laying around that you wouldn't mind parting with, send me a PM with a price. Thanks.

thanks everyone.
