Good god, what a stellar career! It's like a who's who of great sound. Thanks for posting the link, that's why I'm here, learning my tail off. Now I need to listen to this stuff for a while and get an idea of how I want drums to sound.

Orange Jell-O. It doesn't taste like oranges, it tastes like chemicals. Everywhere you go, there's boxes of Orange Jell-O. Luckily, the orange is still being produced...in quantity. If there was an orange blight...and we never saw another orange, over time our taste buds would forget real...

Well, I got this one email from Mr. George, but I don't think it's reliable...says, "Heroin and groupies...and a U-87."

Thanks for the posts..that album is now on my reference list, to be played when I think something I've recorded is worth a damn, and thus trashing any traces of pride I may have built up. I was hoping that someone would say, "Oh, Dixie Chicken? They used a magic box, the LA-1176 pultec, makes...

You know, Jesus, I could use a Studer... :rolleyes:

What's amazing is how close he got on some of the tracks on TMR. "Pachuco Cadaver" is almost conventionally right. Goes to show what a year's rehearsal will get you. Oh, yeah..sorry to go off subject...I guess my phase must have flipped too many times.

OK, so this last weekend, I was hurtling across the country, scanning the radio stations as I drove through the night. Around the middle of Arkansas, I heard a midnight album, Little Feat's Dixie Chicken. It was new to me, and completely blew me away with the great sound, in particular the drums...

Well, that's the exact type of thinking I was bemoaning the lack of regarding other reviews of pickups. Dead right about talk vs. sound, but the basic needs I have for single coils is exactly what you describe. Love the skeletal twang and the character of old singles, but hate the noise and the...

These things on the side of my head, they are ears. When I learned to use them objectively, a clear difference between tape recordings and digital ones became apparent. Many other people have ears, and will learn to listen with them and bypass any verbal jungles of abused language schmoes like...

'Preciate the good word, Dave! I consider myself also a "curious newbie", and I think that anyone who works with recording learns something new every day. I have learned a LOT on this forum, and I'm sure there will be no end to it. You are dead on accurate about packing tracks, bouncing is...

If you've got a harmonizer, try a track of that mixed behind the guitar tracks, use an appropriate lower interval for the music, and eq it to fill in the low end. Kind of like an aural exciter for low mids. I've had luck with this before...the double then delay solution is very workable...

So I guess that a neo-nazi is a product of white noise, and I don't even want to get into what pink noise causes...

I'd be very interested in a deeper exploration of your opinion regarding the Kinman pickups, Light. I have researched these long and hard, and have yet to find real critical thinking in any of the reviews. I look for noiselessness, clarity, and a reasonable output compared to old Tele pickups...

I have a cheap chinese Tele, the affinity model. I can assure you that this guitar is not made of plywood, nor is it made of inferior wood of any sort. In fact, it's really not far short of any instrument I've ever played or owned, and I've been known to play or own some damn fine guitars over...

Clevo, I have found that there are many differing variables in bouncing tracks. I usually use two parameters, frequency range and stereo field. If you have two instruments that don't tend to use the full bandwidth of any track by themselves, say bass and cymbals, they can mix together very well...

Don't bring it to Australia!

When I was a kid, all I wanted to be when I grew up was a mad scientist. Bubbling retorts filled with dry ice, jacob's ladders and a hunchbacked servant who could get body parts for cheap. Unfortunately, there were no courses in mad science when I went to school. I have come to believe that...

You gonna be happy using tape, E. The first time you don't have to worry about your system deciding to get wonky while you're trying to lay down a track will fill your mind with a deep and abiding joy that is almost worth the ticket. Of course, you will find that every time you buy a new deck, a...

Pleased to meet you...hope you have my tape. (to the tune of sympathy for the devil.) But really...I go through 2500 ft of 911 1/4" about every week, always looking for good folks to supply my analog jones. Good to know you are out there.

Without lyrics, I'd have no way of knowing how pretentious some of my favorite bands are. I'd never be able to know how poorly William Blake and Samuel Coleridge could be paraphrased if it wasn't for the Doors and Iron Maiden.
