"...synth bass line on it, so heavy it would distort the speakers when played. For the life of me, I couldn't get rid of that distortion. Once I ran the song thru the automated system, the synth bass was tuned down and under control. The distortion I was hearing before was now gone, and the tune...

VHS, there does seem to be a fingerprint on them doesn't there?

For TripleM...

What's that in the background? Bleed or part of the FX on the bass? I'm nfussed on the duckwah on bass but it probably sounds good in the mix. Nice capture.

The 4 string sounds very Uke. I agree with TripleM mostly. Saturation bathroom reverb is for the body - & you can use a towel to remove most later - not the same with tape printed vocals.

Back & listening to Mix 2 as I type. Bass sorted. You vocals in the 1st verse give the song an early Squeeze vibe. That's a good thing to me. It sounds right for the time & intent. I really like it & really like the band too.

VERY cool. Maybe a little remix around the kit aspects but other than that I dig it as it.

Misfits bits - I don't have much - a pick guard & Jerry figurine... My nephews bought them for me because they dig the band, like to educate me and indulge my musical aquisitiveness.

I bought, I thought, a No FX CD EP a couple of weeks ago, amongst a bunch of otehr cool stuff at a fete. It wasn't until I got home that I deiscovered my excitement had blinkered me - I'd bough a DEF FX CD - stupid Aussie (con)fusion band... My wife was a year ahead of the singer at High School...

Car tapes degrade VERY quickly - heat & humidity are the worst. I have recordings from the late 70s that still sound great & I even use the same sort of deck they were recorded on.

Then there was stuff for the people who like to impress...

Other formats of cassette...

Inexpert as we all are. Opinionated as we all are. Prepared to experiment and find out as many of us aren't

The Ramones Mono remix... I just listened to a FLAC version of Disc 1 of the 40th Anniv Deluxe release. The stereo sounds really cool and powerful but the mono mix is MUCH more in my face powerful. this could be through all sorts of trickery but it does sound a) logical and b) really good on 1st...

I'm fine with the phrasing but I think the vocal track is a little loud. Some colloquial touches that sit well with my ear & history. Nice work Matcham.

I do prefer the Mosrite copy Greg but the strat s is pretty cool - I'd like to think of Buddy Holly getting that tone live.

A super top notch jazz flautist in Oz, Don Burrows, had grief with his hands for the last 30 years and he tried all sorts of stuff but the thing that worked for him was soaking his hands in a tub of fairly hot water for 10 mins before playing. Pretty annoyingly inconvenient but it git him by...

dinosaur is what the Pistols et al called Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, the prog crew etc. They were, largely, right. Mega bands had become stale & were retreading their stomping ground. Punk scared a few away, spooked a few into trying to punk it up (and they usually failed like Gentle Giant did on...

Crucial question of the weekend: Is the mono release of The Ramones essential?

Very cool stuff. Bass goes from almost no bottom end to lots in the main progression. You made need to medaite and get a bit of both though it does sound right for the era and song. Cool.
