Just Picked up an Auralex Gramma Normally I avoid their stuff like the plague but since the Mopads work pretty well for my studio monitors and this was going for $40, I figured what the heck. Decouples the amp from the floor and gives you more predictable bass response wherever you are...

So I was feeling kind of “meh” about my song writing and guitar playing. Like I was running out of ideas and inspiration. I’ve written and recorded about twenty songs in the last couple of years, but recently everything I’m doing seems to sound the same as what I’ve already done. Add to this...

Just dropped a new Eminence Cannabis Rex into my Fender Blues Jr 3. Yay! Now just got a few days of break in to work throgh so lots of scales and barre chords up and down the neck. I can already hear that the top end sounds a little rounder and overall more creamy than the stock speaker...

I just pickup up a Bogner Ecstasy Blue pedal. I'm not about to drop 4 grand on a Bogner amp so I have no idea how similar they sound but I wanted to share my thoughts on this pedal whih is suposed to somewhat emulate the blue channel on the Ecstasy amp. I picked it up this morning and will be...

Wtf, I just sold 11 downloads in one day. That's usually more like what I see in a month if I'm lucky. Does Bandcamp have some kind of spotlight for non paying members or something that I'm oblivious to and didn't notice. Maybe someone just hit 11 instead of one by mistake in the checkout box :D...

more of the occasional silly Brit Pop nonsense from Bristol Posse https://soundcloud.com/infinite-number-of-chimps/for-her-web-audio

http://soundcloud.com/infinite-number-of-chimps/little-boat-test-mix-2-3-june I haven't recorded one of my little crappy, happy Brit pappy songs in a while. Been travelling a ton for work plus I've been focussing more on playing out. People seemed to like this one when I mixed it in with some...

I'm Investigating setting up my next song so that proceeds go to a local school. Kind of local music project supports local school's Art & Music Programs deal. Looking at band camp but Paypal end up taking a 30% cut. Any one have any experience with small dollar (like $1-2) transactions so that...

Two of these and I also just got a tall Pike with room for cream at Starbucks too

I felt like I should be chasing dragons down underground holes and blowing up with a bicycle pump till they explode took me back to my mis spent youth in the arcades

Okay so I think you'll need to get yourself a patchbay here is how I am set up and i have some of the gear that you mention. I got all of it via eBay, Craigslist, local consignment stores etc and I was able to get this entire set up for under $3400. so keep your eyes open there is a lot of good...

He probably wasn't tracking Metalica and Slayer to a four track cassette porta studios and was more likely talking about something like this: Although if you hit the levels really, really hard you could still oversaturate, but if he was talking about digital clipping (since it was a digital...

For those without much experience of analog emulation plugs here is a little test with an acoustic guitar recorded around -18dBFS RMS This clip I used a straight non emulation plug Sonalksis Free G to push peaks way up to the top of the digital scale and then pulled the fader down to get the...

Here's a quick snapshot of my 000-15

Haven't posted anything new in a while so I thought I'd throw up a new song http://www.reverbnation.com/play_now/song_10425400 This is the first mix and it could be a mistake to post it without a 24 hour cool off period to spot all the glaring errors but here we go anyway I wrote it when I...

I hit upon this set up last night I had been doing SDC around 12" off the 12th fret and LDC 36" off the body but it wasn't getting me what I wanted I did this set up about 18" off the neck/body joint Now I can do a kind of EQ, blending the two with the faders, when I want a more full sound...

I don't know about those specific songs but see if this helps The attached file (bass example) is a bass note looped, and I've used some extreme settings to make it obvious, and it was all done on Reapers built in compressor first time it plays there is no effect its just the recorded note...

Wow! Got to get the gain staging through the plugs just right but I love the warmth and finish this latest crop of emulation plugs puts on a track Just amazing sounding!

It's been a while since I put up a song here. I rebuilt my studio and had to relearn everything on the new set up Anyway, this is a song that was sort of inspired by a trip to Dublin where there was just tons of really good accoustic based live music going on This is the first time I've...
