Hah! Clown Core is what led me to KNOWER, actually. Very fun stuff.

And if *that* isn't TapeOp primitive recording, I don't know what is.

I've spent all of 2024 in my new role of 24/7 caretaker for my elderly dad. He's at home, in hospice. I knew I'd have to be here, but was still surprised that January 1st was the day I'd move back in with my dad. Hospice, that's tough. :( We're helping our dad move into an "independent living" plac...

All the 421's we have for rent have that zip tie*. Nobody ever complains or cuts it off.

*two, actually - one on each side of the button.

Home recording on steroids - recent KNOWER songs / videos. Here's the biggest one, "Crash the Car": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZlVT8gPGEs They've done a number of these, and the album releases are the same audio. I figure that this is somewhat assembled from pieces, as the choir appears in an...

The biggest thing that I can't figure out is how do they hear each other?

Less of everything in general, but on the upside a rather significant health issue is finally diagnosed and being treated. I hope for the best for you in regards to this. Thank you! Let's just say that thanks to very modern science it's really not bad at all, versus the "possibly very bad" of only ...

I'm pretty isolated from new music, it seems. But 2023 is the year that I discovered Louis Cole and all his stuff - Clown Core (that's where it started), Knower, etc. he is a very skilled drummer. Absolutely, but there's a whole ecosystem going there with a lot of interesting stuff. I'm really enjo...

Less of everything in general, but on the upside a rather significant health issue is finally diagnosed and being treated. Recording specifically, it's not something I did much until Covid, then it was a lot of church virtual stuff. That's mostly gone now too, but at least there are live gigs again....

Always nice to get great service.

What did the problem turn out to be?

A worn-out and buzzy Wurlitzer spinet piano (not a Wurlie, mind you). Literally disassembled it as a learning exercise as well as to get rid of it. Really should have made a video, or at least recorded some of the soundboard noises. It took about one hour to get the keys, action, trapwork, etc off o...

I can recall a musical where making the bass player use a much smaller amp made the bass sound much better in the house. That's when I saw the light...

Nice cabs!

If I was ever playing bass live again on a regular basis, I think I'd build a little posse of individual 10's I could stack up. As a live sound guy I've found the smaller the bass amp, the better the sound for the audience.
