    Les Paul Refinish

    What's all this "we" and "no one" bullshit? Feel free to speak for yourself, and allow everyone else to do the same. I'm sure you'll let us know. Thanks! Hey Pete. being that LPs can be on the heavy side anyway, in your experience, would shooting the finish using a lower psi(pounds per square...

    Vox Phantom

    awesome old ass thread! My first guitar was a phantom copy, black with white pickguard(back in roughly 1976). It was a "Del Rey", which from what I understand from past research is an Teisco offshoot. Like an idgit I traded it off, for what I can't remember, after I got my strat. Damn I wish I...

    Using My Head Voice?

    Interesting stuff, although I still can't wrap my head around all of it. Is Philip Bailey(Earth Wind and Fire) an example of a countertenor rather than a falsettist?

    If you could sound like anyone...?

    Absolutely. And he had heaps of smooth control. There's a live youtube clip (which i'll resist posting) out there of him singing a song Without Her(not to be confused with Without You), just him and an acoustic doing a bit of vocal gymnastics and exhibiting some serious breath control. One of...

    If you could sound like anyone...?

    Yeah, it seems like a more healthy and realistic thing to want to sound more like oneself,.....me, a more consistently better me. Otherwise, probably somewhere between Paul Rodgers and, um, Art Garfunkel. :o

    Is there any song subject matter that you find hard to listen to ?

    Believe it or not, politics, I don't care from which side of the aisle it comes from....but I have to say especially from militant leftist types, Rage Against the Machine comes to mind. The entire lot should be thrown to lash it out locked up in a cave somewhere, an throw away the key. :mad...

    I need some ACOUSTIC guitar experts on the subject of steel VS nylon...

    Keep your elbow out away from your body on that F bar chord (if you're not already doing so). That should reduce cramping.

    Safe European Home - The Clash cover by The Greg

    Very cool how you can hear everything separated so well and clearly represented in it's own right. The backup vocals sound really good. Any pitch adjustment? Did you sing (some of) them straight through or comp them from one take?

    How to make my mic recoding "blend in" background track?

    Oh, okay. Well if that is the way it seems I reckon I ought to apologize. Sorry, Greg. I apologize for bullying you. Everybody good now? Good, let's move forward and quit sidetracking the guys thread with unnecessary bullshit.

    How to make my mic recoding "blend in" background track?

    Dang, wonder how that happened? Cheer up tough guy. For the record, i'm not looking for any opportunity for a time and place. That's just trouble waiting to happen. I just want to get along. Don't want no trouble, won't be none. Anyone targeting anyone for a time and place confrontation is not...

    How to make my mic recoding "blend in" background track?

    I don't have a real problem with you, dude. :laughings:...you're just some guy on the net, dime a dozen. I do listen to what you say about recording. You know what you're doing. I suggest the op weed through the bullshit and listen as well, to the recording advice. The other bullshit you have a...

    How to make my mic recoding "blend in" background track?

    Agreed. I tried to give the op advise which might help. Someone got sensitive. This shouldn't happen. Whose fault is that?

    How to make my mic recoding "blend in" background track?

    uhu uhu, good one Greg. Don't you think you've mucked up this thread enough? Toss me some red chicklets and be done with it.....it's really not productive for the op to have to weed through pages of your tough guy bully act, now is it?. You belong in the cave, second nature, you're a natural.

    ^^ not a bad song title

    How to make my mic recoding "blend in" background track?

    This is why you should stick to giving advice rather than trying to be the tough guy asshole on the block, kicking castles and throwing sand. I gave good advice. I hope it helps the op. Not bad for a cave troll. :D Let it go. Just. let. it. go.

    How to make my mic recoding "blend in" background track?

    Bottom line, I said "assholes" as a joke, not literal in pointing a finger any specific person. It was a joke to lighten the mood and cut through the bullshit to bring the discussion back to where it should be focused. If there was any finger pointing at all, it was clued by the prediction that...

    How to make my mic recoding "blend in" background track?

    Kinda touchy aren't you?..asshole hit a little too close to home? :D Whether I reitterated what you said is irrelevant. Any number of posters could have given the exact same advice, which would probably be a good thing and establish a consensus, outside any one persons apparent neediness to be...
