***Though mine's been sitting in the rack for a couple of years, tonight's the first time I've used it- on a surf guitar record, naturally. I love it. Splashier high end than our Orban 111B, and a darker midrange resonance too. Overloads well, if you want to do that, though the neat thing about the ...

Here's Memphian film-maker Craig Brewer reading Jim's "Production Manifesto". It's always difficult to express what a record producer does but, as ever, Jim nails it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8G-u9t5o04 "Life is fleeting, art is long" Rest In Peace, Mr. Dickinson. -MR Mark Rubel Pogo Stu...

He was associated with so much different and good music. Whether in conversatio...

Please donate to help Peter Case
***Hey Folks, Peter Case is a wonderful musician/songwriter/recording artist/writer/musicologist. You may know of his bands: The Nerves ("Hanging On the Telephone, covered by Blondie- and Def Leppard!), The Plimsouls ("A Million Miles Away"), and of his solo career. Most unfortunately Peter had to h...

Au contraire, mon ami- that would be an SM54! The only difference being, the 54 has a larger windscreen, and is thus supposedly more immune to wind blasts. They sound pretty good- i always thought that you have to be careful not to cover up those round rear ports with a clip or anything, as that wil...

And now, as promised, some lengthy ramblings by yours truly: One question that has always interested me, and for which I've never had a very good explanation, is why the music business has always been so reactionary and insecure. For the most part the film industry, for example, tends to embrace new...

I'd heard, but don't know for sure, that after the '78 closing of API some of the employees when to work at APSI, though not necessarily the designers. They made some nice modular API-sty...

***A number of things: 1. Spend a little time in a quiet dark place before your performance, close your eyes, take a series of slow deep breaths. Yoga and meditation studies are excellent in this regard. 2. Physically stretching out and warming up help- swing your arms, run around, and stretch from ...
