spoken like a true sound man.

It took a lot longer than expected, but I am happy to say that this pig is pretty much porked. So, if you care to listen to the 'basically' finished product before we release it....feel free. I'll leave the tunes up for a few days. Comments/suggestions welcome and encouraged. Its far from perfect, b...

I have a 1963 Gibson LG-0 that is old-timey, especially with Silk and Steels on it. Love this guitar. All mahogany, smaller than dreadnaught, mojo, etc. I paid like $500 for mine and it's in great condition. New ebony bridge (the originals from that year were plastic!) and zero cracks. These things...

Tuning this goddamn spinet piano.......again. I turned it around a few days ago so that it was facing the room, not the wall. Whoa, Nelly. Five keys totally gave up on me. At least one string on each of the five keys refuses to cooperate. I think I need a bigger hammer and more swinging room. Maybe ...

Whoa!!! No, no. General statement. Nothing to do with you. Just saying alot of times that's what you get...."cool song. sounds good" and nothing else. Sorry if you read that the wrong way, or I wrote it the wrong way. You obviously had constuctive things to say.

Agreed on the bass carve scenario. the only reason I gave any critique at all is because it's douchey to say "cool song. sounds good." I think its all very cool, but you deserved more than that. Have to possibly disagree on de-ess thing. Could be that you have settings too aggressive/fast on comp se...

Sounds great Terry. You're making us 'Burque folks proud. Maybe the percussive high freq stuff in verses is a bit harsh/too up front. I think its mostly an eq thing. Could use more snare when it comes around. Little more attack on kick? Love the way the vocals sound. On the fence about the way the m...

diggin' bandcamp. thanks for making me aware of it.

I've been contemplating building, buying or ignoring a re-amp box. I always winged it. Re-amped noisy ass shit through a guitar amp, or simply run the signal back thru the PA for some sort of 'effect'. So I bought this BBE Unimax 401 about six years ago. Used it 4 times since then. Sure, its a DI, a...

thank you. on 'PBR' I used an AT 3035 about three feet out, three feet high. just listened 'til it sounded good. On 'innovator' i used an AT4050 and a Beyer Opus 69 in Mid-Side setup.

here's the second one roughed in for your, uh, whatever. four to go.

Thanks. I think its coming along pretty well. We're shooting for a 5 song EP in the next few weeks. He's got some great songs on tap.

Here's the more-or-less final mix. Some ooohhhs, a few more guitars (or just retracked) and whatnot.

The Aguilar DB750 is supposed to be self diagnosing. When powered up, it runs through the usual stuff, then the lights go solid indicating that its ready for action. However, it's not producing any sound other than some hiss/noise. Its not loud noise, just noise. I replaced all pre-tubes with known,...

We had Pabst Blue Ribbon on our minds so we recorded it live (ish). Unfortunately, I'm not even CLOSE to a drummer. Good times anyways. Still trying to find the band for 'Adam Hooks and His Hangups' so we're just kinda killing time in the studio until an actual drummer and bass player show up. http:...

My goodness. I went to a surplus store today. They had the SWEETEST most AWESOMEST racks EVER. I'm not kiddin. Every form of rack you ever imagined. Right there, rusting. Lonely. 6 foot racks, with glass doors, built in power supplies (strips) and built in ventilation (installed blowers/exhaust fans...
