I've made some one mic recordings for some drummers I worked with. I also had one drummer go to a place on his own and get a one mic recording of his playing. This one guy was a very good player but he hit every drum and cymbal with the same force. The one mic recording was the eye opener I hoped fo...

I can't find the article but Dr Z (amp maker) recommends keeping them in the back of your combo amp or in guitar speaker cabinets. Moisture can drastically alter the way paper speaker cones perform. I used them to 'dry out' some speakers that had been in a overly humid environment. They come with so...

Good to hear it.

I've done it a couple times and have experienced the positives you mention and zero regrets.

I love the non port sound. The drum acts so much more like a 'drum'. The action you get from the pedal is really different too. I've got internal mics on some of my non ported kick drums. Mounted with the simple Gibraltor L bracket using existing lug screws. Mine have internal pads but a buddy I pla...

Somewhat OT, but I realized I hadn't heard Nils' Crooked Line inna while and dug it out - what a cool fcuking record.

Thank you. It was quite the experience!

I've had a couple mix sessions w the UnFairchild 670m II As I said above, our main 2 mix compressor has been the CraneSong STC-8. In addition to other stereo comps we have a Manley Variety-Mu and a Chandler TG-1 that we've mixed through but since getting the CraneSong in around '03 it's been our mai...

That's the sweetness there, Roscoe! Please start a thread with your thoughts after having some time to get her going. Will do. I've only had one sort of commando session with it so far. Not much time to mess with it but it sounded really amazing on the drum bus. We've had the Crane Song STC-8 on ou...

Much tighter fit than the Atlas. No play in them. A drastic improvement.

Undertone UnFairchild just arrived.

I really like them!

Nicely done!

Nicely done!

You folks have any opinions on good looking studio websites that you've seen lately? I know a lot of folks use their socio-media sites (FB-Insta) for their studios. I do too but I know when I'm headed to someone else's studio I sure appreciate being able to see a comprehensive gear list and some inf...
