We're tripping over old asylums in this part of the UK, some get re-developed, many more stand abandoned and decaying. The chapel here looks like a great space, but frankly I think the rest of the site would un-nerve me too much to do anything useful there! :shock: http://www.abandoned-britain.com/P...

Nice article from TMIAS - great points raised in this thread too. I like Spotify as a platform, and I like the fact I've had a few royalty payments (however micro) from them, and that artist payments were part of their model from day one. I like Last.FM as a platform too, but have only recently star...

Late 70s I reckon, going by the badge (70-81 style) and hardware. Tricky to know if Resonator or Elite without a close-up of the inside of the shells. Resonators often had custom 'two tone' finishes, exclusive to that line - but were also available in standard finishes, so that doesn't really help :...

something about 60's records that sticks out to me, if I was to think about it, which I am, is how un-balanced the mixes are. like there's this one element that always sticks out, and it's unique to the song. it's like something that identifies the song. it's cool and rare to hear that on modern re...

I can't remember which issue it was, but in the last couple of years I vaguely remember reading a TO article on a studio in an old grain silo. Or have I imagined that one? :? Anyone else recall the issue# or studio? Anyway, thought it might help with dealing with the (semi) circular metal space, con...

Hello, Thanks for all the wonderful ideas. I managed to win an ebay auction a "Realistic Stereo Reverb" (Radioshack bucket brigade) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290574052805&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_585wt_1084 I think I paid a bit over the odds but I got a bit trigger hap...

I've got a couple of short scale basses, the Tokai EB copy, and a Squier Bronco. Both sound great, the Bronco is easier to play, nice slim neck and low action. Bought cheap on ebay, the thing looked hardly played, so I guess I got lucky for a blind buy. Lots of them still available new online I see,...

Maybe have a hunt for the EMU ESi series samplers - the ESi 32 might be a little underpowered, but the memory etc is upgradable. Make sure you find one with the 3.02 OS chip installed. The ESi-2000 and 4000 were the tricked out versions of the 32, with internal zip option, extra memory, separate out...

and btw, they work great with some adhesive-backed foam weatherstrip on the underneath side.

Or some Hydraulic heads - none more dead!

Haven't seen this mentioned on TOMB yet, loving the new Booker T album - produced by Questlove (I'm a bit in love with his drum sounds) and engineered by Gabe Roth (I'm a bit in love with his engineering) and it's a given that I'm alot in love with Booker T, so this is a perfect record for me ;) See...

The M68RM is a 4 in 1 out microphone mixer with a reverb unit. http://www.shure.com/idc/groups/tech_pubs/@global_managed/documents/webcontent/us_pro_m68rm_ug.pdf I used M68 mixers extensively through the 70's for live sound and recording. They're a bit noisy but quite useable if you set your gain s...

Is this a new room for Electric Mastering? Looks like a project and a half! Will keep an eye on the blog

Neither is mastering without embedding ISRC codes as well as delivering less than Red Book Standard CDRs to manufacturing. Speaking if ISRC codes, I was wondering this recently, just because I don't know the answer: Do ISRC codes follow file format changes? Like, for instance, if mp3s are made from...

You need to grab the JB comps from the late 80s with Cliff White sleevenotes - so much killer info on those - here's one for example http://www.discogs.com/Various-James-Browns-Funky-People-Part-2/release/892538 Don't think it shares any tracks with your Icon comp, but a bit of digging could probabl...
