I’d hit it

Great tune, great mix, great performance.

Love the tune, love the sax solo. This was ELO? Can’t help but think the first four riff notes have the Funky Town vibe…I wonder which one came out first.

First, GREAT choice in surge protection! Tripp-Lite is the only product I will use and most of it vintage from their Chicago manufacturing days. ??? Second, I’m STILL and avid believer in analog consoles and having a button, knob, or slider to engineer sound. I mix by ear, not by software...

And to add to the OP, this ^ ^ and this v v: transmission loss (often called ‘soundproofing’ where you don’t hear sound escaping outside of the room) and sound treatment (tuning for LF buildup and errant HF reflections) are two separate things. If just tuning your room acoustically (most...

My great uncle was a caveman and he once told me they did. ?

Hey new members, I go by Seeker here and on other music forums that I don’t visit much lately ? Always seem to be on HR.com, though ? There is the best wealth of information on this recording site IMHO, though some of the professional engineers (who were regulars at one point) may not frequent...

Proud American ??

Patience was a well-known whistle track that went well. I can whistle but suck enough to make a track of it.

As a song, I like the happy waltzy piano intro and then incorporation into the song as it progresses. Then guitar minor, almost dissonance, breaks the piano intro as a surprise. And vocals are done well with a good voice tone and melody. The first staccato guitar lead run at about :55 sounds a...

As a purist I will never ever give up my analog tube amps but I could play a large forum gig with only my pedalboard if needed.

I can agree with this ^ ^. But re: how many watts the OP needs in an amp setup for a live show? Assuming it’s a show that has even a rudimentary PA , not many watts on guitar amp And in modern digital mix and design, a good modeler b with a quality digital line out to FOH which will have all...

Jc 120s are gorgeous amps!

I know this isn’t a tube vs SS post but can’t resist. Tube guitar amps are really beautiful creatures ?

There was a time decades ago where PA’s weren’t that advanced and audience volume was needed from each instrument. Those years are long past. Big rock/punk/whatever style bands you see with stacks of speakers behind them? Most are void of heavy speakers because they’re unnecessary. UNLESS (and...

And regarding mic’ing the amp,!yes that is an absolute reality and a standard for even medium-sized bars/venues. Most will have a house PA system and smaller ones come with a sound man to run it. Any sound man will tell you first thing at soundcheck to turn your amp down. And it’s annoying. But...

It sounds like snake oil and 1 watt on a factory spec scale should equal another and maybe they do but I’ll say this in support of above…the loudness (maybe just perceived) is different in both SS vs Valve, but I’ll even suggest vintage vs new. Buddy has a newer Yamaha power plant stereo with...

I had a maybe similar sitch with an MSR-16S (Dolby S not DBX and different machine) I bought off eBay years ago and after pulling the cards and cleaning it, the tech place (TASCAM support praised them but forget the name) they either couldn’t or didn’t know how to fix the problem. Mine was...

This was a basic 12 bar original I used when I got the 488 II. Recorded in proper studios with a few bands and on cheap 4-tracks not knowing what the hell I was doing, but the 488 and this recording is when I started trying to actually learn tracking and mixing, not just playing and hitting...

Here is a cover I tracked of Tommy TuTone after I bought a bunch of decent outboard gear cheap (relatively) in the early/mid 2000’s and after I got everything I needed, had to learn how to work it, including what mics where for each instrument, treatment, board, busses, etc. So I adjusted...
