Like, one of those Salsa Baby Basses?

Or some sort of new-fangled fancy body-less gizmos...


I'm just curious. Generally, I'd say what you're suggesting is what my first guess would be too.


Is there any acoustically resonating part of the instrument at all?

I know 3 pedal steel players in Brooklyn. I don't know what their self recording setups are, but it's worth contacting them. They're all really good, and each is totally different.

Hey everybody, I was curious if anybody around here'd had any direct experience with this place: http://soundproofing.org/ and if, so what your thoughts were about them. They recommended a product to me that I can't seem to find mentioned anywhere else in the world of sound isolation, but it seems l...

My thoughts exactly.

Why not try sending the signal through a nice, relatively clean tube (or otherwise nicely-coloring) outboard pre-amp/comp chain. This might give you some rounded edges without overly degrading the already fuzzy wobbly-ness of the M-Tron samples. It seems to me that these samples were taken from inst...

Totally! While this thread dis-entergrated into a discussion about big drum kits versus small drum kits, I want to be very clear that my original intention (and post) was strictly to ask 1) what people usually use for Overheads on these big kits and 2) if people had any tips on phase for kits this ...

I've got a cheap little CRATE solid state practice amp, 10" speaker, I don't know how many watts off hand. It sounds actually OK on it's own. But what makes it sound baaaddaaasssss is by using a Presonus BlueTube as a pre before hitting the amp. I was really regretting buying that BlueTube until one...

I would say you're most likely in a gray area. I'm thinking Columbia wouldn't ever have allowed Miles Davis to re-release Kind Of Blue on his own (even those annoying remixes/remasters they put out a bunch of years ago). Then again, you're not talking about Columbia, I'm assuming. And from what it s...

I, also, don't know shit about legal shit, but I have signed a few contracts before. My advice should be taken as such. My questions are: Who put it out on iTunes in the US? was it you, or a separate "digital only label"? If it was you (like via CD Baby, or something), then you're probably ok, 'cuz ...

Between getting a really clear and concise post (that is also free of horrible grammar and typos) and getting some work done on some of my own material, I chose the latter. Now, is THAT a jab at me?!?!? just kidding. :) I do, though, sometimes feel like it's my duty to be the voice for the drummer ...

to, sa80, I'd say that, yes, taking away drums from a shitty drummer won't make him better, but covering his shittyness with a bunch of extra drums won't either, and it takes way longer to break down. Crap drummer with 3 piece=broke Crap drummer with 10 piece=not so broke There's nothing stopping a...

hey. what do you guys think of Steely Dan? :twisted: I think I might actually be seeing them this weekend, but only because a friend of mine is playing trumpet with them these days. I actually haven't listened to their music except here and there in passing. I have to say, though, that I have a cer...

If you're really content with the digital setup you're using, then you wouldn't be remiss in considering parting ways with the MSR16. I recently sold my MS16 before I moved across the country, not because I didn't love it, but because I just wasn't using it so much anymore, as my alternate professio...

I find the statement that Peart "doesn't need that big of a kit" totally asinine, and the projection that it's all a marketing ploy to be so far off base it's laughable. Peart's kit (And Copeland's, and Brzezicki's) were developed far before Modern Drummer became what it is today: something that ki...
