https://soundcloud.com/otherdog/flyingmonkease-cover-stooges-ineedsomebody Here's my band the Flying Monkease (what's left of it - me and the singer) covering Iggy and the Stooges "I need somebody". I managed to con a real drummer in to playing drums for us -- our last regular drummer moved to...

This is my friend Chris Lively again on vocals and guitar - with a guest violinist (details on the soundcloud page) and actually me on bass. My first time recording a violin - she's an excellent player and was really easy to work with. I used the everything and the kitchen sink approach using...

Tomorrow's my 25th wedding anniversary (we get started real young down here in the southern usa), and I got my wife a new vehicle that's sort of silver in color because it's the "silver jubilee", and she asked what I wanted... She doesn't know the difference between a silver face and a black...

The NS1 plugin, along with some others, is on sale at the moment Automatic Noise Suppression Plugin – NS1 | Waves In my experience, this plug is really useful - especially for tracks that have hiss.

Just picked up this bad boy at the local Salvation Army: It's a Technics SX-PX-55M. I think all Technics keyboards went out of production 10 years ago, and this could easily be 20 years old. If it breaks, I'm screwed. But... It all works! All the keys, all the other buttons, the speakers...

it's been too long since we've had highland bagpipes here and I'm afraid you're all turning into softies. So: This is my son - I guess 5 years ago. I just ran it through some outboard equipment and put some reverb on it.

in between projects, so my cat and I have the studio to ourselves. Neither of us can sing - I couldn't get him to take it seriously, anyway.

I recently got a staple gun (initially to make bass traps - worked out well) and so I decided to swap the grill cloth on my Blues Jr. I have been trying to make myself like this amp for about 10 years. I did pretty much all the billm mods (including the power supply related ones, but I'm...

So today is my birfday and my wife took me to the guitar store. I'm not gonna lie, I was hoping for a new guitar - I was crushing on some Mexican Jaguars, but they they didn't really have a good color, and my finance committee (i.e. wife) wasn't really into spending that much. So I walked...

I've been working on my drum setup, mic choice, placement, etc. I can't play myself, but I want the kit good to go in case a real drummer ever comes over -- it could happen some day: http://www.otherdog.net/2015-06-07-drums.mp3 This is dry with a little level tweaking - I forgot to hit the...

I'm thinking of the new mic "day" as really this weekend, but I got a pair of Manley Reference Cardioid mics and I've been messing around with them. I can't sing, so I have to rely on my singing friends, but a couple have stopped by. Good on acoustic, but they don't seem materially better...

What do you think of this acoustic guitar recording? (I tried to upload a wav file, but I guess it was too big) I ran my microphones straight into my converter with no preamp at all. I had to use an inline phantom power making thing. And then in my DAW, I added 42 dB of gain - I think this...

I have been using a stereo compressor that has the option for a variable link between the two channels so that the one currently exerting the most compression only forces the other one to compress, say, 70 or 80% as much. I like this feature, especially for stem/bus compression. I also have two...

I've been talking smack about having this amp for a couple of years on here - finally got around to taking it apart and snapping some pics. Here's the front: Here's the back: Here's the backplate off (all the tubes are new, but the originals were there when I bought it): Here's the QC...

I picked up a "Moog MF-102 Moogerfooger Ring Modulator" on sale last year - significantly, it has a low frequency oscillator (LFO) function. I use it (briefly) on a couple of songs, and it's just the ticket. Trouble is, it takes up a third of my pedal board and it's not true bypass and it does...

I made a routing pedal for my pedal board that's sort of double looper - there are 6 jacks - 3 on each side - and a true bypass 3PDT (nine pin) footswitch, which toggles the signal to go through one loop or the other (and a LED for each loop, to indicate which one is active - but that's only if...

I have a Marshall JCM900 series 1960B cabinet that I'm not in love with - it has the stock speakers, and I want to replace some or all of them. But before that, I have to face the fact that the cabinet itself is troublesome - it has a somewhat tubby bass-y sound when compared to some other...

My clothes dryer quit working -- before I take it out to pasture, I decided to partially disassemble it. 35 guitar picks!

I dig this new plugin forum - so far the posts and discussions have been great and very helpful - a veritable Eden of knowledge and teamwork. But I already started screwing that up by mentioning iLok in I think at least two threads, which pulls the thread OT and starts senseless debates...

IKMultimedia is currently doing a "group buy" for their plugins. At first I was a little put off because of the use of that term - I mean, Chance P. did a couple of group buys here a few years ago, where a bunch of us from a few boards came together and went directly to a Chinese factory to get...
