at the drive in are one of the best bands around! oh lordy do I love them. ross robinson produced their new record, and it's amazing. so much compression with two guitars trading lead and rythm. this thing is so friggin thick! man I love that record! ~james

The microphone forum has been no help so far, which brings me here. First, my story.... I'm building a mobile studio for the purpose of recording demos for younger bands. I'm bartering sessions for things like microphone cables, stands, and other equipment while I build some talent and a name...

I recorded vocals at the end of my hallway. There was a thin mattress (approx. 3") proped up against the wall that I was singing towards. Behind me was the rest of the hallway and my kitchen. It sounded good I thought. There was a little of that thing Krisian was speaking of, but not as much...

I'm planning on getting a pair of cheap condensers for stereo mics over a drumset. We're talking pretty cheap here. I'm thinking either CAD CM17 or Audio Technica ATM10a. American Music Supply has the AT for only ten bucks more than the CAD so it's in my price range now. What do all of you...

I'm interested, what sort of music will your label be putting out. What kind of bands, what format will the records be (CD, 7" record, etc). These are probably important. If you just recording the bands then I'd just call myself an enginer. Now, the fact that you own the record label makes...

I'm looking to buy some mics for drums when I get my tax return (I may make under 6000 bux a year, but I give myself a really nice present once a year). Here's as much info as I can think to give you. I'm recording using an old TEAC reel to reel 8 track and an old TASCAM mixer. I record demos...

THE BIG LABOWSKI ROCKS!!!!!!! Also, one of those german guys is flea from the red hot chili peppers and, yes and there's the neat part about one of the german guys being in that funny new wave band. Best german accient thing in the movie though is "We'll cut off your johnson." ~james

Ah, I never thought about having the lowest and highest strings match. That's a damn good reason.

I feel a tad odd asking this, but why is the B string on a guitar tuned to B and not C? I'm sure there must be some great reason for this, but I sure as hell don't know it. Please don't hurt me. ~james

Re: Hmmmmm.... Just to add to the terribleness (not a word) of our tape, it was 22 songs long! I knew very few people who actually listened to the whole thing. We really pounded out songs back then. Verse x4, Chorus x4 Verse x4, Chorus x4, Slow part, Chorus x4. We had about 15 songs that...

I tried to use my comp to do this very same trick about a year ago. It ended up sounding really bad. I recorded two guitars, a bass and vocals and mixed that down to the comp. I put them on one track and then recorded drums on the rest. When I went to mix that down I found that the guitars...

I was wondering if any of you had suggestions about where to get 1/2" tape on a 10.5" reel. Who's cheap & reliable? ~james

How easy is it to get replacement parts for old old old tascam junk. I have a super old 1/4" reel to reel tape player that i think is like an AC-13______. I'm not really sure on the make and I'm to sick to get up and look. How easy is it to get something like a power cord from those people?

Today I went in to by my first set of bass strings and I realized I had no idea what was good. I've bought ernie ball power slinky guitar strings for years, but in the nearly two years that I've had my bass I've never broken a string (although I know I should have changed them long ago). My...

yes, usually a photo of you is bad for a cover, but if you look really friggin amazing on stage, go for it! I remember some friends and I were in a record store and we saw an album with this guy that had great clothing and hair and all jumping into the air with a mic and singing, we had to have...

ok, the snare that's with the set is a vistalite. It has 10 lugs on each side and is 5 x 14. I'm actually in need of a bottom ring, and strainer for that right now. The strainer is about half gone, and I've added parts of a really bad Tama snare strainer to get it to work a little, even...

I saw on a ludwig site that the logo on my drums was post 1980. It's the blue and olive one that is straight, not curved on the top.

Why didn't anyone mention Max from Conan O'Brien? Max is really really good. I also like travis from Blink 182, he's so soild and really creative. Keith Moon and Ginger Baker, no doubt about it amazing. Brendan from Fugazi, I think has some good creative stuff using toms insted of hit hat...

I just got most of a clear ludwig set from a friend. The set belonged to his brother who had a drug overdose, but lived. Unfortionately he's not in good enough conditition to play yet. Another unfortionate thing is that a lot of the set is missing, because the previous owner's loser friends...

Here's the deal. A friend of mind has given me most of an older (70's maybe 80's) clear ludwig set, and I'd like to get as much of it up and working again in the best shape I can. My main concern is the part on the snare that has a lever that pulls up to tighten the snare. The origional is...
