While on vacation a couple years ago, the wife and I were nursing hangovers in our hotel room fixated on a Lawrence Welk-athon. I was geeking out on these two guys in the band sitting side by side, one with a Fender Bass VI and the other with a Jazzmaster - both guitars a matching baby blue color. T...

My band used Pro37s for OHs (ORTF style) on the drums for our new EP and we really liked 'em. They guy who mixed us has all the top-shelf stuff and knows how to use it, and he was astonished with what we were able to do with the 37s (carpeted bedroom, but fairly meticulously treated with 703-style b...

I'm shopping for the same sort of thing right now. I've been using the Visual Sound 'One Spot,' which is a high mili-amp (sp?) wall-wart, which you can daisy chain a bunch of pedals, but not the high-draw digital pedals or double pedals like the Boss DD-20. The problem with daisy chains is the intro...

I believe Ritual De Lo Habitual is one of the best rock albums, ever! I am a huge JA fan, including all the spinoff projects like Deconstruction, Porno for Pyros, Polar Bear, Avery's new solo stuff, Farrell's solo stuff, etc. That said... Eric Avery was a critical element in JA, and without him, Nav...

How timely! I actually posted a similar question on People Skills, specific to use of CDs or their alternative when engaging in local promotion, i.e. college radio submissions, club booking, local press, etc. Personally, I still buy CDs as they're typically comparable in price (Amazon) to buying an ...

Thanks guys. I understand that a little 'ol band like mine is wasting our effort sending promo material to Spin, etc. We're a hometown band and will probably stay that way, but we have been written up in a couple of the local lefty/music/arts weeklies and have played on and been played by college ra...

Promotion of New Album in the Digital Age?
I've seen and commented on many Tapeop posts regarding how worthless CDs are as a means to put your music into the hands and ears of others. While I don't entirely agree with that sentiment, I would ask those who have moved away from CDs how you go about the whole 'promo pack' thing for local print-...

After a long, expensive and disappointing journey to find a 'versatile' amp, I came to the conclusion (already stated in this thread) that one-trick pony amps are the way to go. That said, my Egnater Tweaker head/cab setup yields some incredible tones, and was designed to cover the fender/vox/marsha...

Amp Effects Loop Cabling Question
I think this should work, but before I go buy some adapters, I thought I'd ask here: In an effort to reduce cabling bulk for live shows, I?d like to see if I can substitute my two ?? TS (i.e.guitar) cables for one TRS cable with dual ?? mono cables attached to each end for going to and from my amp?s...

Cheap, easy graphic design software?
I know, this isn't recording related, but it is band poster, cover art related - hope thats ok. I've got a 1 yr old iMac and it seems that the included software is really limited for graphic art design. I'd like to get something where I can fairly easy put and edit images, add text, manipulate, etc ...

SM7 - Using the Frequency Switches on the Back
By default, I usually use the bass roll-off on vocals and most the time on guitar amps, but I'm wondering what others' applications are for the high frequency boost and bass roll-off switch?

I know that vinyl is experiencing a resurgence of sort, but I'm not convinced that enough casual listeners have record players. I don't, and none of my bandmates do, either. Of the folks who frequent local live music venues, what percentage do you think own record players and collect LPs? I'm not po...

Stereo Mic Bar for XY and/or Spaced Pair?
I have some, but very limited experience recording a drumkit, and am thinking I'll likely be trying either an xy or a spaced pair overhead setup using AT Pro 37's. I can imagine the benefit of having a 'stereo mic bar' that I've seen online, so that, when using an xy setup, I would only have to futz...
