    Direct me to a Great 'Acoustic" Amp for Guitar and Mandolin

    Whats the bomb out there. I''ve checked out the Marshall, Crate and Trace Elliot stuff. It all seems pretty decent. Anybody use any of these amps for the long haul? What holds up and what cuts the mustard?

    Event 20/20's In the Studio This Week

    My friend bought a pair and brought them over so we could do a mix. That was cool because I got to audition them in a real world environment--my world! I was pretty impressed with the sound. At first I thought they might be a tad bright, but it was pleasing and not harsh. They didn't fatigue my...

    I'm So Sick Of My NS10's

    These damn things are going into the sale bin and here's why--they give me no clue on the last two octaves of low end in my mixes. I suppose one can guess and adjust, but I'm tired of guessing. I can live with the rest of their faults--the harshness, lack of imaging and air--but I've mixed my...

    Lt. Bob Drunk Remix

    My fine friend Lt. Bob from Baton Rouge posted his drunk epic over the weekend. This is a remix. All in fun. Louisiana hip hop seems to have a slower groove than the urban groove of cities like Detroit. Best enjoyed with a fifth of yoru favorite hard liquor. :D Sincerest apologies Steve....I...

    Boy, You leave For One Night and Miss Everything!

    I come home from a gig...I'm working on some tracks...decide I better check into the clinic, and we've got confessions, denials, deleted threads, accusations and who knows what else I missed. Just when it was all beginning to get interesting. :D So, please--somebody give me the capsule review...

    Now, My Daughter Wants a Shot!

    See what you've started Chris? Lol! Anyway, this is a song my daughter Jessica wrote and performed back in October of last year, just after she turned 15. All I did was set up a couple of mics and mix a bit. I wanted more vocal, but she sings rather softly and she bangs that guitar pretty loud...

    Real Plate Reverb Cheap

    On behalf of a friend, I said I would mention that he has a real custom made plate reverb. Its in brand new condition and he said he'd take $350 for it. Only thing is, the buyer needs to be semi-local to the Detroit area. The thing is too heavy to ship! If any of you vintage freaks are...

    The HR Tubercular Choir--an idea and a request

    Just for fun, I thought it would be cool to write a song and have EVERYBODY sing the chorus--then mix it. One big collab for fun. Anybody interested? I also thought we should do a Homewreckers "We Are The World" style thing (not THAT song, I promise!) where everybody could sing a line or two...

    No Ballad This Time--Call me Lazarus

    An attempt at picking up the tempo a little. First mix tonight/ ears can't tell anymore. Maybe a little bit more positive, in my weird way. Any comments--song, mix, performance--all interesting to me and my semi-deaf ears. Or just stop by and say hi. Its all good! Call Me Lazarus...

    So, How Bad Do We Suck?

    This comment from Sonusman slipped to the second page way too fast. Its brutally honest, but it contains a lot of truth: The reason I review and make comments about "fake drums" and "emulators" is because I feel I am the balance concerning these things. Shit, I remember once Blue Bear Sound...

    Ahh..That feels better....

    Ever have a song you just needed to get out of your system? This is one of those. I think I may need to tweak this a bit more, but who am I to tell. This one is something rather different for me. Lend me your ears! A Way To Get It Right...

    So, What Shall We Talk ABout While We Wait?

    Can't download anything and can't stream anything. Shall we just bust the place up tonight or what? What about this dry thing? I think it might be a pretty cool thing. I also know I'm gonna reach for my EQ on the next track I record! So what are you all doing tonight? I'm getting ready to...

    HRC: Attempt#2; Raw Crawdad

    late at night, too many shots and chasers. No Eq, verb, compresion. I don't know if its blues or country or fol or whatever. Last chance to see me parade naked. Dreamin' My Life Away http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/?aid=1522/singles.shtml

    Lend Me Your Golden Ears, OK?

    This is a favor. I am trying to figure out which mic I like the best on my own voice. I did a controlled tracking session using four mics at once on one vocal--same preamps (mackie). I adjusted the overall levels to match and did a fine adjustment in software so all levels were identical. I...

    HRC Attempt #1

    WARNING! This MP3 file is full of glitches. I'm gonna save you the time for now and repost this if I can just figure out why all my music is uploading badly all the sudden. Original message follows OK. This is a toughie, but I'm experimenting. This song is nothing great, but I thought it would...

    Does Anybody Like the ADK A 51?

    I'm curious if anybody owns one or uses them. I've read some of the hype. Did a search, but didn't really come up with much to specifically answer the question. if you have one, how would you compare it to other LD condensers in its price range? My intended application is for male voice. Thanks...

    Jagular and Crawdad Co-write a Tune

    This is a song started by Jagular which we finished writing together via internet and a bunch of e-mails. Really fun, and Jag is a damned smart writer as well as a great guy to work with. This particular recording was done by me. There are things I like about it and things I would like to...
