Re: uh

Good lord. Who works in the morning? the guy that tracks a sketch late at night and halfway through realizes if he starts a fresh take he can have a final cut before his first class...and then ends up skipping class because twiddling the mix seems much more educational than listening to a prof who ...

Ok, but you can't put a ribbon mic in front of a kick drum. Trust me, I've tried. put a ribbon on the beater just this morning, about 8" back and angled from snare side to pick up some rattle, and it's fitting perfect with the bass track i'm tweaking to sound like a tuba. yeah, i know, you said in ...

late to the thread, but going back to that high hats thing (is that a pun?) - plenty of beginning drummers i've known like 'em high, and then after about two or three years they start dropping 'em down and down until they're right over the snare...and then the last guy i recorded (who's been doing i...

yeah, let me be clear: i'm not an any way implying the price change is unfair - i've heard plenty of folks here and elsewhere complain about the little arm doohickeys that were found on the previous version. The guy improved his product, and improvements cost - which is exactly the argument behind g...

Hope this isn't derailing the thread, but i'm dealing with somewhat similar issues in a current project: a three piece laborcore group i recorded a few weeks ago in their basement (the space was 12'widex7'highx40'deep - i thought it would be nasty, but it actually seemed to put a really cool vibe to...

Then a year or so later i was digging through an abandoned house and found all kinds of old 1/4" reels, one of which just so happened to be "the in sound..." As far as Sm...

i hope that means its a good thing i've never had a music lesson in my life :wink: Seriously, i agree 100%. the thing that led me astray in your first post, was the statement that slang enabled one to "get by." But to flip that into what you just said, yeah, maybe "getting by" on slanging your six o...

I see it as kind of like speaking a language -- you can speak slang (rock,blues,etc), and get by and have a good time, even if you're not a theoretical master of the language. If people look down on you, fuck them. No offense man, i usu. enjoy reading your posts. BUT As a linguist (working on my ma...
