Well? http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=2476

Okay seriously, has anyone heard this band? There are a few things about the actual music that I'm not a huge fan of, but I can't get over the sounds. It's seriously the biggest, fattest, analog sounding recordings I've heard in ages. I thought some of you fellow analog geeks would appreciate...

Just curious on this one. A lot of times, I can't resist the temptation to hard pan certain things in my mixes. The only problem though is that I've noticed that when I do that, and flip the mix in mono, the mix falls apart (especially with tracks that are doubled, not by DAW, but two actual...

Love em? Hate em? Discuss. Personally, I love the big studio records just as much as I love the shitty four track records. I bet Hot Freaks would have sucked at $60 per hour and a Pro Tools rig.

My 388 just showed up. I can't find a single thing wrong with it so far. I know there's already a lot of good info here in the forums on this machine, but what can anyone here recommend as far as cleaning and maintenence that I may wanna do before I get rolling. Also, tape recommendations?

Hey, does anyone know where there might be some information on servicing older model reel to reel machines? I have two really nice Roberts decks that have particularly good sounding preamp modules in them. It seems that only one module in each of them seems to work (even though I've had both...

Been buggin out on Jeff Beck recently. I too tend to play a lot with the whammy, and my G string seems to get higher in pitch after a few. I know you'll never get it to stay completely in tune, but are there any tricks that can at least help it stay close? Would better tuning pegs make any...

What's the best method of exporting tracks recorded in Cubase to PT? If a specific track spans the entire length of the song, I export that selected track and it's fine. If it's only a small overdub existing on it's own track, I solo it, and use the mixdown function...this has been fine (to...

Does anyone know of any VSTi's that will emulate as close as possible the Deep Purple keyboard tone? Even beyond that, does anyone know of anything that emulates whatever the hell Martin Rev uses on the first Suicide lp? Thanks in advance.

I've read something recently that pzm mics are somehow free of phase cancellation....is there any truth to this and how?

Recently ran across a couple of old Roberts 1/4 reel machines. Each of them have two channels of input module driven by about six tubes that each sound incredibly good. I'm gonna look into possibly having someone make power supplies for them so they can possibly be taken out and made rack...

How does one fix the fact that certain notes played on bass are substantially louder than others? If I am to compress, how would I compress only the louder notes?

Suggestions? It's generally rock music I'm dealing with.

I'm coming to find out that switching from the stereo image to mono almost equally when mixing helps greatly when trying to accomplish distinction amounst instruments. Panning, eq, and phasing issues seem to me, to be more obvious when in mono. Can anyone verify this or would anyone care to...

Speaking of guitars, Swervedriver might be the most criminally overlooked band of all the 90's. Talk about being hit over the head with guitars. They're probably my favorite band of all time. Anyone know of or agree?

Love it or hate it?

Ok, whaddya think? http://www.myspace.com/thesmugbrothers

Not the act, the band. Alan Vega and Martin Rev. Concerning their first LP (the one with Frankie Teardrop on it), does anyone know anything about what Martin Rev used gear wise on this record?

Seems to me that these days, a lot of people are coming around and asking how to get someone else's sound. I guess I'm just posting this to encourage people to go get their own thing. Everyone has influences, sure, but no one and nothing is the ideal sound for everyone and everything. I love...
