I heard a great ring on a phone, once. It went "Dibby dibby dibby daa dibby daa daa - Prrrraaaang !" Sounded like shit on the car stereo though.....

I've never used a de-esser. With a pop shield doing the biz, I want singers on my songs to be pronouncing their S's. STAND STILL, STRANGER !!

I always thought that was some lame soap opera starring the ex-president's ex-wife. ?

??? I like Yes up to a point, King Crimson up to a point, love Kansas up to 1979. I like some 'prog' but I prefer the wider, if unrecognized world of progressive rock. Two very different entities.

It's literally about some young lady that Jagger had been living with {I suspect it's about Chrissie Shrimpton} that he thought was superficial and stupid. It's actually really funny although it's also mean, and the "Look at that stupid girl !" refrain is so catchy. Dylan used to write...

Well, like most subversive stuff that lands in the music business that the powers-that-be can't control at first......it became house-trained. That happens two principal ways. One is money. The other has the potential to be more interesting. Mainstream artists start to use the art form. And so...

For me, there's a universe of difference between 'prog' and progressive rock. For me, prog is what progressive rock mutated into. Progressive rock, in my opinion, was, like heavy metal and jazz-fusion, an evolution. It began slowly with little, unusual experiments in songs {the way "I Feel Fine"...

WARNING !! WARNING !! MAJOR IRRELEVANT THREAD DIVERSION !! The lyrics of that song are priceless ! I still laugh like a hyena when I hear that song. It's the most un-PC song of the 1960s, when judged through today's lenses. But if taken in context {a guy really pissed off with a particular...

I've changed my mind because of what I have read in those endless flights. Changed my mind about participating ! Brand X were quite an interesting outfit. I really like most of their album, "Moroccan Roll." Funny thing is, at the time I got into the LP, I was working with tons of Moroccans...

Pythagoras's theorem is now much clearer to me after all these years !

I agree, Gillan was more tasteful with the screams. I do like Glenn Hughes' singing, just that I don't view him as the kind of vocal God that many of the critics do. I think his performances on the "Medusa" and "You are the music, we're just the band" albums are his peak point. But I'm awfully...

Mine neither. But he was great on "Come Taste the Band." I love Gillan's vocals while he was in Purple. He was Ritchie Blackmore's answer to the screaming of Robert Plant. But I think Rod Evans was every bit as good as Gillan. I think he's excellent on "Shades of Deep Purple" and outstanding...

It's funny, I find the opposite. I listen to virtually all my music for pleasure on headphones/earbuds and so I've become, over the last 40+ years rather sensitive to stereo placement on songs in pretty much every genre. That's precisely why I like them. I mix with both monitors and headphones...

I think, when all is said and done, that it comes down to what Random Dude is saying here. There's lots of different things that you can do. It's good that you're listening to what "they" do and are trying to understand it in relation to the sound you are hearing. But ultimately, Random is...

What has long been funny is that it was recorded for the album "Houses of the Holy"......but left off and put on the next album. How many bands have ever left off the title track of an album....then stuck it on the next album ? Contrarian or what ?

Back around 2010, I had to go and pick up a Lowry organ from some old guy and drop it to a care facility. The people at the care facility didn't want it and they offered it to me for nothing. I'd had a Hammond organ that I'd had to sell about 9 years previously and I was drooling at the Lowry...

Sometimes, one has no control over what they dream about or what they do in those dreams.....(y)

I love Wurlitzers and Fender Rhodes'. To me, they represent the electric piano sound. Back in 2004, someone recommended the VSTi "Lounge Lizard" to me. They told me that Herbie Hancock wasn't taking his arsenal of electric pianos on the road anymore, just a Lounge Lizard. So I bought it. It...

I'm a terrible one for that. I do it all the time and I hold it against the expert until they change their tune. :LOL: I remember Paul McCartney {whose songwriting I've loved since 1976} saying a couple of things that I thought were utter bollocks and 40 years on still do. One of the things was...

And I don't mean that rudely or as a put-down. On one hand, I think there is so much in there that's important and applicable, but whether it's applicable to ADeschamps is debatable. I think that if someone goes out of their way to join a home recording forum to ask questions, and they know what...
