    Essay Contest for a Shure 330 ribbon mic

    Analytical & Loosely Realistic Inner Dialogue I am here because I don't fit in, I don't look or act like anyone else. In some respects, I am transparent, particularly in my madness. Yet, this is perhaps a stereotype and reflection of me based upon my appearance. There are many times, and I...

    Essay Contest for a Shure 330 ribbon mic

    Another One: Nonsensical I can assure you that upon the arrival of the Shure microphone, the whole family will be elated. We will bask in its enlightenment as we delicately transfer it to its gem-studded terrarium, where it will be chewed into triangles by Cuban ants. Parts of it will be...

    The Shakesperean / Poetic Angle: Microphone: I hope BigWillz' foul fool halitosis will never wilt you like dried fall flowers; :eek: 330 ! Make my sources fair & flirty! Capture my psychosis peak to peak ; gleaming vented tower of machined steel. Make this union of expression and...

    Building a tube console

    Tube Mixer While you're over at prodigy-pro, check out NYDave's one-bottle mic preamps. Maybe then a LC EQ with a 12AU7 or 12AX7 makeup gain? The PSU thing probably will be an intense undertaking. I'm guessing you'll need a big ol' rack of PSUs :eek: That's quite a project! Post your progress!

    Essay Contest for a Shure 330 ribbon mic

    I Love Microphone Thanks for offering us an opportunity.. There is a lot of great talent in this area that is not being recognized in the music, writing, and art fields. My dream for the last 3-4 years is to build a recording and production house for all of the local talent. I'm pretty sure...

    Preamp with no dedicated DI input

    Hmmm What I'd do is hack into the unit and wire in a jack after the first gain stage. I'd use a transformer if I needed it balanced in.

    Baking Tapes?

    Sticky Icky I think the official term for gluey tape is "Sticky Shed." Let me know if your tape baking goes well, I've been tempted to try it.

    Negative Comments ONLY! (Punkish?)

    I read it... Gorty: I do admit it was pretty intelligent and to the point. I always hate the :mad: tho... Your music is a bit of a throwback to the guitar god days. I hear a lot of the restraint of age in your playing. If you're not a middle-aged player I'd wonder where that's coming from...

    I Cannot Write Song Lyrics

    Preconcieved Notions I cannot be held responsible for your preconcieved notions based on my name... I am only 'Northsiderap' because I happened to write some songs for a rap group for a while. My primary writing style is probably considered pop, although with heavy flavors of jazz and rock. I...

    I Cannot Write Song Lyrics

    Yup That sounds about right. This is one way I go about it. Another way is the 'speaking in tongues' method which I'll share if anyone's interested... Comedian Dana Carvey said a person can be impersonated at a basic level. His impersonation of Ross Perot was, "A-jibba-jabba-jibba-jabba." A...

    I Cannot Write Song Lyrics

    Wow! You completely didn't get what I said. And I even got an angry face to boot! How I might have offended you with my reiteration of some basic english/writing techniques?

    I Cannot Write Song Lyrics

    My take on lyrics I have a take on writing: First you have to decide what you are writing for. If you are writing for pop songs, you come up with the catchy hook first, then fill in the verse with some garbage. Writing for yourself, you have an open book. What I do is write a paragraph or...

    Negative Comments ONLY! (Punkish?)

    I'm Back Thanks for all the negative comments. Those of you don't have the stomach to tell it like it is, I could never see y'all as producers. I guess it takes a special breed to not only hear it for what it really is but also be able to tell it like it is as well. Don't confuse someone...

    Anyone Need Songs?

    I did my tally of the songs I have written over the last few years, and it turns out to be about 300+ That comes out to around 100 songs a year, or one every 3 days. I could do more if the money was right. Anyone need a song? In any style?

    Negative Comments ONLY! (Punkish?)

    Here is a thread to vent all of your needs to critique music. Obviously I'd prefer intelligent comments but if you're feeling a mean streak comin' on let it out. :mad: :eek: I don't want to hear any good words about this song in this thread if possible. I want negative comments only on this...

    Extreme Black/death Metal

    I Should Have Said... I only know two drummers who can play like that... It's pretty @$#% amazing to watch. One of the drummers is a skinny little ADHD case who yells all of the time. The other is this super mellow reefer smokin' kid who actually is a guitarist, not a drummer.

    My stuff PanicJ-Friend Here's an OLD song I did. Does this kinda qualify? This was recorded on one of those tiny casio keyboards that I got at a garage sale. I had a Samson S11 for the mic'ing my voice, plugged directly into my computer's factory sound card via 1/4" to 1/8" adapter. No...
