When using flex to alter the BPM of a performance, how do I retain the correct pitch of the instrument? For example, while tracking my bass guitar we realized that the song would really work better when played slower, so I flexed it down and it sounded good until we go to record guitar over it...

Clutch. Clutch. Clutch. House of Blues in Chicago this Friday. I'm gonna drink vodka and sing my ass off. Probably going to be the best concert ever. No, it WILL be the best concert ever. Anybody going, or anybody as in love with Earth Rocker as I am? The music and lyrics are as fantastic as...

So, drummer plays his tom or snare, and The other three toms ring, annoyingly. Is this because of the tuning of the drums? I believe most of the ringing is coming from the bottom heads. What is the best way to deal with it? Tone control rings, moongel (or whatever it's called), new heads, or is...

Hey. I was hoping to get some honest opinions on something that the guys and I made for fun, a year or so ago. Keep in mind, it was all completely off-the-cuff (you'll be able to tell, there's lots of mistakes) and we recorded as a whole. Also mixed this one together, so if you don't like...

We've all been there. Now, I'm a musician myself, but I consider myself to be open minded, I can take criticism and enjoy trying new things. But, certain members of my band (I won't use names, but there are only 2 of them;)) are just the most stubborn, set-in-their way jockstraps I know. For...

So. I looked around and didn't see a similar thread anywhere, soooooooooooooooo....... What is your dream instrument? That is, when you're sleeping, and dreaming of playing an arena show with thousands of fans screaming your name (you know you've had that dream), what kind of guitar/bass are...

Nathan Gale, Dimebag Darrels murderer. :( I miss metal.

So, I've been experimenting with treating our OH drum mics with foam to help tame the reflections we get from the 8' steel ceiling. I know, treating the room is the right thing to do, but in order to have anything permanent on the ceiling, it has to be flame-retardant to be up to snuff with the...

Ok so, not sure if this thread is in the right place, but seeing as it will reference most topics and its my first thread, here goes. I'm in a band. (I can just hear the panties dropping) We've got a practice space in my drummer's Dad's warehouse. We're in a 2nd floor loft, brick wall on one...
