    Shit! First time I've logged in here in months! I'm 99% an audio and anarchy dot com guy now. Anyway, glad to be of service. From you: "You said something a long time ago on a thread that I appreciated. I found myself up against close minded maniacs, road blocking my question. You stepped in...

    Another Xaviere thread

    emailed guitarfetish, and they replied that they will have a "butterscotch" version of the ash tele in Dec, fyi.

    Question about Stereo Image

    Also, any hard-panned track HAS to be played dead nuts on perfectly with regards to timing and pitch. If it's slightly sloppy, it'll stand out as odd. A track more towards center (even 90% panned) is more forgiving in that regard.

    Another Xaviere thread

    Sonofabitch! I swear to gawd I added one to my cart yesterday - just to check shipping price and all that. But now, it's shown as sold out. WTF? Oh well, I'm pretty well sold on that one as well - my wife told me she likes the look of the honey MUCH better than the sunburst poplar, so that...

    Another Xaviere thread

    what kind of ash is used for guitars? White ash has a SG of .60, black ash .49, and yellow poplar .42. That's a pretty significant difference between the w. ash and the poplar. That said, I don't know how big a difference density makes. Is that what it's all about with guitar wood? I...

    Another Xaviere thread

    so, I think I'm gonna get me a xaviere tele-style geetar. I was thinking about the sunburst looking deal, but I see that's poplar, where as the "honey" one is ash. Which should I go with? I just slightly like the sunburst finish better, but it's not too critical. will $10 more for the ash...

    Passive vs. Active Bass Recording

    Firepods have "instrument inputs" and "line inputs." Wouldn't the bass into the "instrument in" be fine, passive or otherwise? That's what I do, anyway, and it seems fine....

    my gear...what kinda sound can i get?

    Blasphemy! As a purist, I can say without question, that the only acceptable way is to get the dog to record the whole thing in one take, with no overdubs. Practice! Practice! Practice!

    Song titles

    I've got a few songs with pretty long song titles, but for my particular genre...uh...whatever it is - sorta half occasionally psychedic rock - it seems to fit. Report of the Death of an American Citizen Balancing Squares of Finite Dimentia (parts i and ii) We All Know the Sky is Lowering Down...

    Whoever loves dealing with room acoustics...

    If you've read a bunch of articles, you surely must know that blankets and comforters aren't gonna do anything for you except kill the high end, and make everything muddy and lifeless. Buy a pack of 2 or 4" rigid fiberglass or similar acoustic-grade insulation and make yourself some cheap 4"...

    which drill press?

    I tend to think that a DP is the one tool that you can get away with going a little cheaper. I got mine at Tractor Supply Co. I don't know the brand name off hand, nor what I paid for it, but it was cheaper than anything else out there (including HF at the time), and has served me well for a...

    Post your MySpace link

    www.myspace.com/orangerobot Since this thread is kinda spammy by it's nature, I don't mind also pimping my band a tad - our new CD (and our old ones) is available at www.miterecords.com. All proceeds from CD and MP3 sales go to charity, too, so you can feel all warm and fuzzy if you buy our...

    New Band kinda funky "Black Market Lady"

    Yeah, I agree that the whole thing is a bit treble-heavy. Cool tune though. And I love the band name - one of the greatest character names from a movie ever!

    New song about angsty prophets

    Similarly to the other song I just commented on, I'd like to hear a little less of the wah/flangery rhythm git. Sounds like there is a cool something in there - organ? high bass part? I wanna hear more of it. Also, dropping the vol of the rhythm git would make the vox stand out better...
