I've heard a lot of good things about that Springsteen album, but haven't listened it yet. From what i've heard of it, I would say it probably fits what I would like to do. I don't think there's a particular reverb-movement that I'm aware of, I just think a lot of artists I like just tend to...

Wow, that's a lot less than I was expecting to pay. I'll check into this unit some. Thanks Kevin!

Well, thanks so much Beck and Mr. Rich (and others)for the advice. These suggestions were very helpful, and exactly what I was looking for! I have to admit, I was pretty discouraged yesterday with the whole Blue Bear thing. I lashed out pretty hard (which I never do) with the full brunt of my...

Yeah, actually Iron and Wine and Phil Elvrum (microphones, mt. erie) are right in line with what I want to do, Mr Rich. I'm glad someone got it. I was just looking for advice on how to do that. I really like that sort of sound. Don't know how everything got so wacky.

Well, I posted this in the Newbie section and promptly got flamed. It wasn't pretty. You guys seem like a much more tollerant bunch who might get what I'm asking. So here it goes: So, I want to make sparse, scratchy, reverb-drenched songs. Like a broken down barn. I have: A TASCAM 424 MKII...

I love when people ceremoniously welcome others to the real world like they're the arbiters of it. Sounds to me like you just spit out three dissmissive catch-phrases without engaging with what I said. Great Gravy! Is this how this place usually works? I just wanted to know about reverb!

Actually this whole discussion reminds me of clothes. When I was in high-school I liked to shop at the Salvation Army. I really like vintage clothes. Sometimes they were a bit worn, but they seemed to have a lot more character to me than yet another Abercrombe or Old Navy shirt. My friends...

No, I wouldn't "add" scratchy-ness artificially (that would sort of defeat the purpose, wouldn't it?) but that sound is a natural by-product of a certain process which I happen to find pleasing. It's not like I record something and say "okay, how can I make this sound shitty?" I just want a...

Thank you. I'm sure Blue Bear knows a whole bunch about what kind of equipment to get if you have $500,000 dollars and want to record your local Kiwanis club, but that's not what I'm going for, so he can feel free to stop wasting picas on something he doesn't understand. There's a whole...

Wow, what an oblivious tool! Well, I'll answer you in two parts: 1. Because some people listen to music for the songs and not snot-slick production. This is the kind of music I listen to, this is the kind of music I want to make. There are other people out there who dig it too. Ever hear of the...

So, I want to make sparse, scratchy, reverb-drenched songs. Like a broken down barn. I have: A TASCAM 424 MKII (and headphones), 2 mics (a Green Bullet for vocals, and SM58 for whatever), and assorted instruments. What else do I need? What do I use for reverb on everything that isn't through...

Has anyone tried the Green Bullet (Shure 520) for vocals? I'm looking for something that will give me a "gritty," "old" sort of sound. I don't want it to sound ridiculously distorted, like I'm singing through a death metal pedal, just a little bit. Will the bullet work for this? Also, how do...
