Nice work, guys.

I once had a Celebrity Ovation acoustic, sort of in a clutch needed something I could plug in without breaking the bank, limited budget college student at the time. Cheap guitar was cheap, uncomfortable to play piece of junk, neck warped & twisted, bellied behind the bridge, concave at the sound...

I have an early 70's FG75, first (acoustic) guitar I learned on. That little guitar went everywhere, keg parties, camping, road trips, bedroom jams...I used to practically sleep with it. To be honest I didn't take very good care of it, it was for playing not pampering. By about the late 80's it...

I hear it plain as day from the first clip posted, or at least what I think you're hearing. An overtone, especially during the Am chord. If it was a note, for comparison, it would be the E note played 5th fret second string, then during the G chord , briefly the G note 3rd fret 1st string. At...

Personally I've never tried it.... They say or there is a school of thought where you can triple track, or take a single copied track, detune ever so slightly, minutely to where it is essentially imperceivable, one above and one below the main track to fatten a vocal. You don't really have to...

I'd removed the ball before second posting here, everything actually looks pretty clean. Looking inside the ball the foam material looked maybe tinted by red dirt tainted water, but who knows, I've seen that black material take on a faint red color...age related or whatever. I'll hang onto it...

You guys are a riot. Somebody left it out in the enclosed side porch, no climate control. If there was any water still in there it probably froze, which is awesome. Looking in at the wind filter material it is a wonderful sort of red (dirt) color. Eh, I may plug it up at some point, but may...

Correction mispoke, it was a 58, not that it makes a lot of difference I would think. Gear is gear, but not an expensive replacement cost. We had a sh*tload of rain in a short period of time the other day/night. On top of that one of the gutters I had missed cleaning and the downspout clogged...

An sm57 got accidentally dropped and submerged for a period of time(overnight) in kind of muddy/dirty water(don't ask. I swear I wasn't recording underwater doing a cover of Octopus's Garden). I rested it upside down to drain out the water. Anything else I should do? Is it going to be alright...

Leap year and all bets are off.

Well dang, that's about the saddest tune I've heard as of late. A little piece of advice that can be helpful to some, a tool,....write in third person. It can at times be easier or liberating to tell your story as though an experience of another. A fictional character. Rather than "I", say he...

Similar happened with me.... 12 years old I wanted an electric guitar for Christmas. Woke up to what I didn't know at the time a Vox Phantom copy, white full top pick guard, black body. What the heck is this thing, wasn't exactly what I'd expected. In hindsight pretty cool, weird at the time. A...

Deleted(not really...just posting in support of the community is import)

Isn't Brian May's tone at least on some of the recordings attributed to "the Deacy" amp, a solid state amp built back in the day by John Deacon? It's been a while, but I think I read for practicality purposes he uses Vox amps live, but has had replica Deacy amps built for recording purposes...

When I use one, which is rare, it's a schubb. Recording I may at times use without on one track, and with on another. I don't know, maybe gives it a Nashville tuning type sound. My nephew uses one a lot, leaving it in place for long periods of time. He experiences quite a bit of fret wear...

I think I've been there before just browsing around after I got the Dobro and was curious about pedal steel. Like I said, I'm seeing pretty much a consistent few grand as standard pricing on the used market. At that, one had best be prepared to put in the time to learn proficiency to justify the...

Are you running a volume predal for swells and general volume adjustment?

Yeah, I know they're not cheap. I'd love to have one. I've looked into wondering if I could, you know, pick up a cheap one. Even at that on the low end it's a bit of a commitment. I saw one in the pic you posted of your stable, didn't comment, but pretty cool. The only pic among those posted who...

You don't suck. Depending on what you're going for, which isn't my place to determine, it might be too busy. You might be upstaging and stepping all over the vocal. Try laying back on it, accompany the vocal, a call-response. Swells, then prepare some lines for the solo(s). Keep at it. I'd love...
