I'm transitioning design jobs after an 8-year corporate stint, and am looking to get some fresh work in my portfolio. So I thought I would try reaching out to TOMB-land and make my graphic design services available to you guys/gals at a significant discount off my normal rates, in the hopes of getti...

Quick note on barnwood: (from a guy who has spent the last year or so dismantling and repurposing material from a 19th century barn here on the farm). Lots of neat wood to be had in barns. BUT some old wood can be infested with wood-chomping insects that would find the wood in your home just as tast...

Thank god and good riddance.

Hooray for science!

Glad this worked out for you. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Grow tomatoes in them. Doesn't solve your flutter/balance issues in the studio, but at least you'll have delicious homegrown tomatoes...

No problem! I love heavy sounds if you can't tell. :D They are actually still pretty cheap on eBay. Like $50-$75, but $35 is a great deal for them! edit: whoa shit! Those prices jumped up like twice as much this year! Damn. I'd still spend $100 on it. I guess thats how it goes on the interweb. All ...

22" Paiste Alpha Rock Ride. Not usually about thicker cymbals but I got a good deal on it.

Hooray for this and hooray on you for posting it. Neat article.

I think I'll make a thread for the session with pics and sound clips in the Listen To My Stuff section if anyone is interested. Dear God, yes please. I think I remember reading that the Beatles tried the ol' bagging a mic and putting it underwater thing during one of their sessions... at least you'...

You all are FILTHY. FILTHY, I say. And thanks to my pops for making sure I can keep up with the acronyms in this thread. One of my favorite acoustic guitar sounds I've ever gotten to date was with a small speaker used as a contact mic meticulously placed and masking-taped in just the right spot on t...

Severe bummer. Recorded with Drew from there back when he and a buddy were just recording out of his attic. Very nice fellow and very talented. I'm very familiar with the area where they're at... the bar next door was one of my regular watering holes when I lived in that part of town. The area they'...

Ooh, what does the "color" knob do?
