Awesome, thanks for the info Joel! I was aware before about mic capsules (and in this case a pre, too) overloading and just by their very nature being compressed, but ... I've never pondered the question very deeply. Do overloading mic capsules behave in a limiter-type fashion - they hit a brick wal...

Nice going avoiding that scam... Good to know, since I use CL a lot. I thought money orders were guaranteed. You should've told him your typical drum OH recording chain: "I'll use my Items012 in XY, run it to my favorite two-channel TubeItem, slap a little 3:1 on them with my Item1176. Of course, I ...

I had my CD copy of Two Nuns and a Pack Mule/Budd EP stolen last week. I'm not getting it back. So I downloaded it. I use illegal downloading programs ONLY for this purpose - replacing severely damaged, lost or stolen CDs that I have up until then owned! This post isn't about morality in music! Anyw...

Vote #2: Peavey Classic 30. I've been obsessed with the Dap-Tone Records stuff lately, and the guitar players have played those live every time I've seen any of those bands. The two specific guitars I've seen them play are a Les Paul Black Beauty (3 buckers), and an old 60s Japanese hollowbody guita...

Hi Eeldip- Just went up to Ape Cave on Teusday. I'm in N. PDX also, small world. Lombard/Denver area. We have one neighbor, and sometimes play the drums in the wood-floored, high-ceilinged living room. All the windows are 80 years old and leak air - and obviously lots of noise - but it's been fine s...

I have heard--heard, mind you--that you can de-hoop the drum, set it on top of say a sheet of glass or other flat surface, find the high points and sand them down (if yer man enough!) until it's all pretty much level and this will help clean things up a little. I have done this, but with formica. I...

Bones in the Water: The vocals are so bad. That can't be just an overloading mic capsule ... or maybe it is an overloading mic, but compressed to hell and back. Do tell! The drum drop-out is cool. And yeah, I'll second the overall appreciation of the drum sound. If you chalk it up to a good room, I'...

I read on yer Myspace that you're looking to play Denver or Ft. Collins. Try the Larimer Lounge in Denver. Too bad my buddy just stopped doing the booking there a month ago. The new booking people are still nice though, from what I understand. It's got a bit of a legacy for a young-ish club, but the...

I had forgotten about Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra until I saw them at SXSW this year. Jesus, what an amazing band. I picked up the new record, and was pleasently surprised that it was recorded at Soma with John McEntire running the board/tape. You know, the guy from Tortoise. You can tell a little ...

Well, those Avatars look nice, but I'm broke right now. Plus my roommate just dropped about $10K on a woodworking shop in our basement, so I was kind of looking forward to building one so I could get some experience on the table saw, joiner, dovetail machine, router, etc. There's a rebuilding center...

Is there somewhere I could find pictures of the Bosco Mann/Dap-Tone Records studio? I've exhausted the Dap-Tone website and it's links, and couldn't find anything.

thanks in advance.

Yes, I did try the search engine, but with no luck. I'm looking to build a 2x10 or 4x10 guitar cab, and I know nothing about all of the speakers out there. My tone is midrangy-clean, sort of a Fendery/jangly sound, or alternately coma-inducing big muff destruction. I know, I know, it's real hard to ...

damn, my 80-8 is just sitting around. i haven't used it in a couple weeks, and that makes me sad. i've also got the m-312b mixer, but the solo buttons on channels 1-8 just went out. i'm pissed.

ah, i love tascam shit.

I'm not really used to the digital world, but I'm finally buying a new computer. What I am after is a sound card with a good set of converters and -10 or +4 level stereo inputs and outputs. Basically, I'd like to mix down with pretty good quality to my computer - which will be clutter free and music...

"Scuse me for being off topic, but:

Where in Denver are you Trumbull? Is that you playing in your avatar thing?

jim!

PS: I've been contemplating long and hard about getting one of those EH pres. I should've jumped on the group buy a while back.
