Re: digital playback device for live shows?

Electrix Repeater is old tech, and not a totally perfect device, but it's a 4 track looper with a volume fader for each track. It allows for overdubbing on the individual tracks, and loops can be stored on a compact flash card (256 MB max, and you have to buy the right kind to ensure proper function...

Re: February RPM Challenge 2023

I know this should probably go in the listen to music forum but it is related to the original post so....... https://dronesoverdufferin.bandcamp.com/album/blood-harmony Sounds great! It's not at all the same, but the ambient-ish steel thing immediately brought to mind a Harold Budd record with BJ C...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....

A trio of DIY DI boxes that originally came from a long-shuttered local studio. Triad transformers inside, which makes me happy.

And vvv, hopefully you'll get even half as much use out of your longhorn as I do out of my Dano Hodad. That's always the first bass I go for when I'm recording.

Re: List your Bandcamp page

First (and hopefully not only) song for the RPM challenge: a long-distance collaboration with an old friend. Fuzz bass and drum machine are me, vocals and Minimoog farts are him. Editing/mixing is me.

Is that black or dark blue?
It's a dark blue--actually much prettier in person--and the action is great on it. So far I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....

Some dude 5 minutes from my place had a Dano guitar in great shape for a good price. Pictured here with my defretted no-name Japanese bass, which is not new to me but recently put back into service.

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....

So "Record," and "Undo," then below that the option to switch between English and Spanish?

Re: let's talk monitoring / accurate sound reproduction for mixing

i could hear the higher frequencies when played back on friends speakers over my iphone! Of course, the iphone is a very trebly device--it's going to accentuate high-end stuff. Nonetheless.....it'd probably be worthwhile to figure out what frequencies exactly you're losing--is it everything over fr...

Re: List your Bandcamp page

I've been in a can't-leave-well-enough-alone frame of mind, but I think I've more or less settled on a new version. I cut a verse, which is probably a good idea considering how lugubrious my tempi typically are, & adjusted the instrumental bits to try to get them to enhance the mood of the song rath...

Re: List your Bandcamp page

I'm not sure I'm finished with this one. It was written one morning in that space between sleeping and waking--the song kind of reflects that.

Re: a U-87 for under $70?

And the mic's a Donner, so you know it comes to party. (I bet it eats other mics for lunch too.)
