    setting an RV mobile recording studio

    Your not gonna be able to track while driving down the road, too loud, and if your parked you can plug your rig in to shore power, an outlet. A generator is only really needed for boon docking, camping in the middle of no where, and maybe occasionally while driving to run anything that needs...

    Have drugs ever enhanced your creativity as a songwriter or player ?

    The singer in one of my bands went thru a Jim Morrison phase. He dropped some acid at the start of a gig( I found this out later) , he was acting kinda strange but all in all did good until the end of the gig. During the last song he suddenly threw his guitar and mic down and bolted off the...

    1000 dollar mics vs 100 dollar mics

    Exactly ! I hate to admit it , but sooner or later your recording space is exposed. As your gear improves and as your ears improve . Ive never been a fan of newbies being told right off , room treatment this , or room treatment that, because just starting off recording alone can be over...

    Fishy smelling ride

    Zildjian's always smell funny. Spraying a little 409 or whatever will not really mess with the patina and save your cymbal bag from picking up the smell, unless you secretly enjoy that stench.

    High end preamps, are they worth it?

    I don't think that it can be completely dismissed that maybe the reason these shoot outs or blind tests usually have surprising results is because the difference is insignificant. I mean if every blind test came back with everyone saying that the expensive pre was the most pleasing, then most...
