I agree Tim, You pretty much hit it with the fear factor and the persona. I still get nervous around people who know me not as a musician, but around my music friends and in front of and audience i'm entirely different. It took me a while to understand the difference between voice...

Ever hear a Puff Daddy song? They sound like a fucking string of advertisements for cars and clothes. My major hang-up would be with the unwitting advert for a bunch of rich assholes, but if "puff [can] drive mercedes" you can pull into McDonalds.

Dig it! Sometimes you just gotta hum to get it down before its gone. I hum a lot of melodic lines, but they come to me at the most inopportune times. I'm sure I'll be humming my magnum opus to an audience of one and it will come and go. Congratulations, snagging them and bringing them to life...

This has little to do with the mic issue, because I'm dirt poor, using 1 sm 58. More to the point, I've found I get the best sound with the mic about 1 foot away from the guitar pointed at the body about where a typical cutaway would be, low-between the neck & soundhole. Most importantly, I...

Did somebody tell you some kind of aweful story about music getting ripped off? If so, I think this person misinformed you about the likelihood of that happening. In a small town??? Just play 'em, its fun and you'll get laid everyday. Some of your musician firends might come up with something...

Yeah its digital. I was just checking it out. Must be only 4 tr. simultaneous record as it only has 4 trims. And 7/8 is a stereo strip. 24 bit is good, and for the price, it is probably among the better portas out there (though fostex has a new one called vr-16 or something that I've not yet...

Internal rhyme my man!

Slack, Haven't checked out the actual price myself, but zzounds says they have E 20/20's really cheap this week (whatever that's worth). Have you checked there?

Don't know about the ADAT, but the The 1/4" inputs on my tascam 424 work great :D Good call hixmix!

Yeah, I have a dx plug-in called spincycle2 I think its $50, though I haven't registered it. Seems pretty cool. Here's the link. Have fun! http://www.aipl.com/products.html

Yeah, I think that is likely a blues standard. i've heard it used in a lot of songs from the 50's-60's. I've actually used that exact progression on 2 different songs to different affect, one is kind of deliberate nod to the classic feel of it. the other i tried to modernize it a bit. They...

*gasp* John sang lead on "In my Life" joonya!

He-man, Can you clue me in on what a sidechain is? I don't currently have a compressor/gate, but I have a bunch of C-ducer triggers that I had no idea I could put to such good use. Can you think of any other good uses for the c-ducers? Thanks for the tip James/Ed.

Don't have the money but the akai would be my choice in porta's. Well, that or the new yamaha aw4416, that thing looks like a bear, man. but its $1500 more. I await your reviews guys!

Stephen Perkins (Janes, Pormo) William Goldsmith (seen him in the live video from last year ametth?) Phil Selway Ringo Keith Moon Whoever played drums on Josh Rouse's first album (Dressed up like Nebraska)

Tim, I checked out the cable soldering one a few days ago. Dig it! Thanks a lot and please keep it up. Is there anything special about making a snake (grounding the box???)or can I make one out of a shoebox? How about a theramin? I'm interested!!!!

You might to need to exercise the pot. It comes right out with a litlcrescent wrench, litlwing. Just turn it quckly from one stop to the other for a litlwhile, litlwing. I think it operates on a principle of magic. Just be sure to roll the pot all the way forward before you reinstall it so it...

I like to get good and fucked up just before I get out of bed in the morning. Seems to take the edge off.

Yup English. Actually the reason I've been spending so much time here at the BBS is because I am taking summer classes that have me sitting in front of the computer most of the day. So I stop in here when I'm taking breaks. Actually this is my 2nd $20k education. The recording bug is what...

I don't know that that's always the case, James. "If there's a bustle in your hedgerow..." :D Good way to let go? If you type quickly and are comfortable writing at the computer, try turning the contrast all the way down on your moniter and just go. You'll likely get a lot more down since...
