Well? What was the estimate on the meat hooks? :) I guess the contractors in Middle America look out for people. Most of the ones I've dealt with here in the Northeast have just taken two weeks longer than they said it would to finish the job and charged me twice the original estimate. And...

Whether you're recording in 16-bit or 24-bit makes a difference on what levels you should be shooting for, right? If you're recording in 16-bit, should you go for louder than -18? Unfortunately I can't record in 24-bit because my mixer sucks. And there is always some variation on what level...

"Methology!" Are you from West Virginia? :) Alright! We're kindred spirits. That wasn't supposed to sound gay.

That's pretty good! I had no idea Austrians were so funky. I like the bass tone and the organ. When I say I hate keyboards, by the way, that doesn't include the organ... I think it's called a Hammond? The one in all the Boston songs. Now we all get to sit on our hands and wait for part...

I sent you a link to the drum tracks for "I Don't Wanna Be Like That". Now you're on the hook.

I got an Audix D4 for my 18" tom a few months ago, and I love it. It cuts through the mix nicely with both highs and lows. I've got a couple cheapo CAD D29s on the 12" and 13", and an SM57 on my 16". The D4 beats the hell out of the SM57 for floor toms. Though I suppose that is to be expected.

You wanna go slummin' in the aural ghetto of NTB's drumwork? Sure, what the hell. In the spirit of collaborating in good faith, I will even attempt to do it BEFORE my standing Saturday afternoon liquoring-up appointment. 99% of everything else I've played before has done AFTER that...

I respect any animal that can eat me while I'm resisting, feline or not. I don't respect the bad cats. rayc I'm glad the dog ate her. He was hungry, and she was dead. The dog surveyed the situation and acted appropriately. Did you ever see that movie "Alive" from sometime in the 90s? Now...

My originals were awesome. I lost interest in writing them at some point a few months ago. Maybe I've matured as a songwriter, and songs about homicidal, substance-abusing truck drivers weren't doing it for me anymore. My songs were like Aesop's fables, in that there was a moral to each one...

This is right up Bubba's alley. This was probably in some of his setlists when he was playing in the 80s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhHPs1dQ1V4

That's the name of the song. I honestly didn't even realize that could be interpreted as insulting. That is unusual for me!

Great! How about "I Don't Wanna Be Like That"?

Can I challenge an Elvis Costello fan to do a Joe Jackson song? Or as I call him, "the rich man's Elvis Costello".

Maybe the cat people and the bird people should be the ones at each other's throats. Apparently there is ongoing bloodshed between the two, eh? Wouldn't it be something if, after they had it out for a bit, the dog people negotiated the cease fire! Ah, politics. Some girls just love cats...

It is a great drum recording, in my opinion. The cymbals, everything is really clear. They almost sound like they're in the room with you. Nice job.

Please, CrowsofFritz... we're talking about cats here. Just kidding :) Your song has created a schism (or perhaps illuminated an already-existing one) between seemingly normal people based on their feelings toward cats. This is sort of how World War I began. Such a topic must never be...

Way to represent on the bass. I'm tired of these people with their "normal" guitars, acting like the bass is some kind of freak. When those of us who wanted to strum something but didn't want to be bothered with learning chords needed an instrument to play, was it the guitar that answered our...

I focused on the drums... What kind of room were the drums recorded in, and do you have any reverb or reverb-like effects on them? I like the sound.

People like what they like, and that's obviously their prerogative if they like cats. My personal feeling is that I don't hate any animals, but I would never choose to have a cat as a pet. What the hell for? Dogs are great. Dogs show gratitude, affection, they're fun to play with, they'll...

It's not that basic. I got it wrong. Someday I might wake up one morning and realize I've been left-handed my whole life.
