I use EZDrummer and I love it. You can load it up as an instrument track and then either program drums; play a drum track with MIDI pads, or drag and drop some of the provided MIDI grooves. Never used FL, but with EZD I really don't feel like I need or want anything else for drums

A tele with compression and a lil slap back delay - played through either a fender amp or an AC30 Hard to get that country tone without single coils

nice idea - I may work in some kind of horns

thanks for your input I may run a bit of EQ on the guitar. I see what you mean about the mids I agree that it kind of needs a change of pace somewhere too

I love it. Again agree with the Beatlesque vibe. I like how the vocals sit in the mix. Not sure if I heard some mellotron deeper in the mix, but if not I'd love some!

I like it. The open hi-hat is a little annoying, and I'd love to hear more like the bridge at 2:40 with the synth sounds. Would be great with some metal vocals (is Phil Anselmo available?)

Here's a tune I recorded a couple of years ago while doing some immersion songwriting. It started out a little bit Clash--esque, but then I fully cooked it with a lil samba beat. Haha I have finally gotten around to mixing it. Hope you enjoy - let me know if you do, or if you hate it. Not...

I had problems with an amp that was too loud. Problem with tube-amps is that you have to turn them up to hit that sweet-spot. I ended up getting a power attenuator - not cheap, but man I love the sound of my amp now!

At the end of the day the price of cables is a necessary evil. Just don't buy cheap stuff. It still amazes me people that have expensive guitars and amps, and boutique effects and link them all up with cheap, noisy tone-sapping cables. I get my made up locally - they do a good job.

Mike now uses amps made by Sal Trentino. Not available for sale. He runs them through 59 Bassmans acting as cabs.

'59 strat into Fender twin. cranked up to get the right amount of breakup, and a TS9 to send it over the top

Haha whoops Sorry

A really good place for all things zoom is the Zoom forum http://www.2090.org/zoom/bbs/index.php Friendly bunch too

I think things like this need to be put into perspective. Just because you have been to School XYZ and studied recording doesn't mean much, it all depends on how hard you work etc. There are obviously people who do go to these places and become excellent at what they do, as well as those who are...
