    1979 Washburn Hawk

    I wouldn't describe them as Europhobes, though. I'd describe them as greedy, conniving bastards that will do anything to retain power and further their own interests. Maintaining a xenophobic media narrative is one part of their strategy to achieve that.

    1979 Washburn Hawk

    Not joining the Euro turned out to be one of the better things the Labour government did, though.

    sidechain compression

    I thought that parallel compression was mixing a heavily compressed signal with the original signal (and that it's also called New York compression). Did the meaning of side-chain compression change?

    Someone Else's Mind....

    Hey Rami. Had a listen to this earlier on my studio headphones and thought it sounded great - I couldn't hear any problems, I think you've already ironed out most issues. I have a pair of earbud headphones that really emphasise sibilance (Sennheiser CX-300s, I think), so I had another listen...

    Soundproofing a closet on a $2000 budget?

    I can run a 100W Marshall into a 2x12 cab that's positioned inside a box made from 1" thick MDF and, while audible throughout the house, isn't very disturbing and not annoying for anyone outside. So, if you line it with MDF, that might be enough (I'm guessing you're not as loud as a 100W...

    Laptop requirements for mixing/editing only?

    You could always add more RAM (unless you have a recent Macbook).

    Vic Firth Dead

    I had Vic Firth sticks - they seemed to be pretty much the only choice in most shops.

    Kind of a Punk Rock Song.

    I think it's clear that Greg is pointing out that the drums are badly recorded and you should consider working on your mic placement to capture them better. I don't know if he's also stating they are badly played, but if they are, then practise and retracking until it's nailed is probably in...

    I think he suggested looking up some mic techniques and retracking.

    Artists Signature Guitars

    I tried out the Kurt Cobain Jaguar (L/H, of course), but didn't think it was up to much - it's Mexican-made and not up to the quality of the American Fenders, I thought, despite being priced like one.

    Chappers and The Captain

    I used to go in Andertons a lot. Saw the Captain there once. Their videos are pretty good - I think I remember from previous discussion that Greg finds Chappers annoying, but I think he comes across as a nice fella.

    Best sounding reverb plugin?

    Are you expecting the sound to not change when you add a lot of reverb?

    Mixing down from cubase onto desktop then to usb

    It will always sound different on different sound systems in different listening environments. The art of mixing is to make it sound good on pretty much any system in pretty much any environment. I think the answer to your problem, then, is to get better at mixing. Listen to your mix in...

    If he can't remember to change it before going to the gig, I doubt he'd remember to charge it after a gig!
