    Conducting some research on the sometimes childish attacks here--any thoughts?

    That's all I gotta Say About That We all know human nature has both a good and evil side. But when you add in the male ego and give them a mask to hide behind, you’re bound to see tempers flare and egos inflated by people that would otherwise avoid confrontation at all cost. We wouldn’t even...

    Kick / Bass Drum recording techniques

    Tune It Up! My best advice is to start at the source. If the kick isn't tuned up to record, then all the gear in the world won't bring it back from the dead. Listen to some of your local studio's recording and find the kick sound your looking for. Hire the guy that set up the kit to show you...
