Eh, I'm over it. I found the thread in question, even the other Gearslutz think the kid is a dildo.

I've never understood the attraction of pornbombing a forum specifically to get banned. Until now... brb, gotta Google "prolapsed rectum."

GIMP (and some obligatory characters)

Incontheivable! Waiting for clips...

Acoustic: 0.012s. Martin recommends that gauge, I'm fine with that. Electric: all over the map. I have/will play anything from 0.009 to 0.013 in standard tuning. I usually like 0.010 for heavy rock-metal, 0.011 for hard/alt rock-blues. The 0.011 sets are more dynamic, as philbagg noted, you can...

No need to steal. You can get a Fellalli from China every bit as good as the real thing, for like $1400. I saw it on the Innertubes.

A forgivable notion. The crap that dominated the airwaves in the 50s, 60s, 70s, whatever, is never heard from again. Hank Williams Sr, Chuck Berry, The Beatles, Cream, Led Zeppelin, and AC/DC are in heavy rotation. The illusion is that the old music was better, but it is closer to the truth that...

Could the new cable be bad?

It is "evolving" from an industry, to a hobby. Kind of like portrait painting, or maybe, more optimistically, photography. Figure, 20 years ago, almost nobody would have a friend shoot their wedding. Now, a lot of people will buy a $200 point-and-shoot or a $350 camcorder, and call it good...

It wouldn't be equivalent to what they could do with a full studio, and there'd be some inherent limitations, particularly in the recording/listening environment, but guys like that would probably crank out something at least listenable, if not fully polished. Call it 80%+.

Personally, I'd start with the Octava over the drummer's head, pointed at the snare, as low as it can be without getting in the way, and the 57 on the kick somewhere. Tell the basher to take it easy on the brass.

Sooo... anyway, I have a couple basses from Rondo, and a palette off Xavieres (local guy, I pick 'em up to save shipping, yadda) including a couple of LP-types. They both offer great value. The Xavieres tend to have a fit and finish booboo here or there, but set up really nise, play and sound...

Take it to a tech, see if he'll let you watch a set-up. Your proposed solutions are very off-base.

Right, but until you've compared what similar, commercially-produced music sounds like in the crappy buds, you're swinging at a ghost.

Don't know about the earbuds, but I have an iPhone headset (the only one that fit my Droid at the accessory store that day) and they suck yards of hog.

I'll sniff around later, read it from somebody who ought to know. Seems to work, although I don't have an acoustics lab handy.

Even though you were joking, full bookcases make dandy bass traps. So do couches. I mix in my living room, a little furniture rearrangement, I get a dual-purpose room, and have access to my home theater and PC for testing mixes.

Does the 1010 have an instrument level input? if not, a decent DI box should be purchased, stat.

I usually go to a LDC on clean guitars , but I mic 'em 1 to 3 feet back. Gets a little room in the sound, not so crispy.

You can make a car bullet proof with 1/2" of carbon steel. Do you suppose that would make a good bass trap?
