First, it sounds like there is a short delay on there with the feedback turned to high. There's also a bit of a flange sound to it. I'm guessing the sound is a patch from an "all in one" type stomp box. Either get rid of it completely, or turn off everything in the patch except your dist/od...

IMHO, it boils down to this. A good song makes people feel something. Unless of course your into pop music, in which case "A good song makes people buy something." Jeff PS, I hope some of you are more economical with you lyrics than your ng posts.

I've always said that nobody can be completely original. Those who seem to be truly original are those who draw from broader influences. Personal favorites include Frank Black, Elvis Costello and Joe Strummer. Jeff

TC- What are the cards? TC- You mention some cheaper cards with ADAT optical in. Can you post some of them, and any specific knowledge you have of them. I want to make sure I can get one to import from a VF16 before I buy the VF. Thanks, Jeff

No arguments with Keith, Pete or Andy, but what about Malcom Young (ACDC). You can say what you want about Angus, but Malcom lays down those bigass slabs o' 3chord chunk, that they made a career out of. Still not as good as Keith, but definitely worth mentioning. Jeff

For the record Wes, the thread is worst overrated guitarists. For someone to be overrated, there has to be some sort of a consensus appreciation of their ability. We don't debate the merits of players from Korn or Limp Bizkit, because there's no widely held appreciation of their contributions...

J Mascis for sure Also agree on Billy Duffy, But #1 on my list is Johnny Hickman-Cracker. Jeff

Alright guys, sharpen your knives. SRV is the most over rated guitar player I've ever heard. All he ever did was regurgitate every blues riff he ever heard at double speed. Fast, sloppy and incredibly BORING!!! While I'm at it Jimi Hendrix was good, but he wasn't anywhere near as good as...

Tweedsville, are you a Canuck? That list has a bit of a Maple flavour. I'm a little younger than you two, but here's a few that made me work harder. Beside them I've put my favourite album by each. Change of Heart- I've never heard a better album than Smile :). Recorded live to DAT in 4 days...

Hate to burst your bubble iqi, but while the word punk may have been coined in the UK, the music was originally American. All the British punk bands were several years after the fact, and the real originals were the Stooges and New York Dolls. Even the Ramones, who were in the 2nd wave of US...

I don't get the vodka analogy. Isn't vodka supposed to be tasteless? Talk Scotch to me. :p Just to add 2 cents to this marathon. I worked at a pro studio for a couple years, and they ran ProTools on PC. Mac may be the original, but as further upgrades come along, the PC is no longer coded...

Just started using my computer for recording song ideas. I'm using ProTools Free, and have gotten used to it pretty easily. Unfortunately I don't have a drum machine. Does anybody know a good program to program rhythm parts that can be imported into ProTools Free? Also, has anybody tried...

I've always used a RAT through an SVT. It's the same setup as the dist bass on Blur's Song2 Jeff

Look for a specialty wood store in your area. I found one in Cambridge, Ontario Canada, and have been going there for 10 years. They stock 2" maple in widths up to 18". Jeff

I use ProTools Free for getting ideas down on the computer, and plug my Ovation and Tele in direct. Something that you can try without spending any money is go into your audio mixer on Windows. Click the "Advanced" button under the microphone fader, and turn off the microphone boost. This...

Hey Drop D, I question the clerks at the store where you tried the Marshall. I find most Marshalls sound like a glorified kazoo with the gain cranked at low volumes. The real power of a Marshall is the natural overdrive at high volumes. Go back and see if they'll let you trim the gain and...

Better yet, check out that new tune "Beautiful Day". That song is awful, and with every radio play, all I can hear is record company desperation. Jeff

Alright, I'll bite. 1-Small Mouth 2-Black Sea 3-Large Mouth 4-Rock 5-White Fished in again!!! Jeff

If we let Florida count the votes, the clear winner is.... Pepsi!! Jeff

Miker Have you changed your tubes? If so what did you replace them with? What's your main guitar? I want one to play with my LP Studio, and LP Studio Gem (P90's). Thanks, Jeff
