IMO I'd recruit first. I wouldn't purchase any gear until you're sure the new member is comfortable with it. They will most likely have a preference. If they don't, I'd definitely go with a computer set-up. It will be pretty pricey, but get a DAW computer and a nice MIDI keyboard for the...

Amen. Trust me, add big bands that you sound like/take inspiration from. Every time I add a big band, I get at least 1 invite from someone who saw that I was friends with them. Sounds very weird, but it works. Add small bands especially, because they will always take a look at your page.

Haha I was worried for a second, thought maybe you got an infringement case against you guys. Anyway, good luck with your case. Is there anyway you can post more information, once the case evolves to a point where you are able to? I think it would be pretty cool to be able to see what the whole...

I'd suggest you get a mod to remove the 'beginners only' part of the title and sticky this. This is a great guide for everyone, and a great reference if you ever need one.

Okay, so I was tracking a song with my band the other day. We had the guitarist play through to warm up, and it sounded fine. Then he tuned, and his guitar started making a strange, almost popping sound when he picked. I don't have the recording on me, but I'll post it as soon as I can if would...

You! Turn that down, ya damn kids!

Don't pay attention to what drums you're hitting. Pay attention to the counting.

Especially since it was clarified with an MP3 of the speed posted.

God damn it I know I uploaded the file, it's a shitty hosting site though. Never seen that file before. Try this, it should work.

Just to clarify, this is the speed we are talking about. I apologize for whatever the hell it was linking to before, it must have been because I was trying to bypass the download page.

I thought the discussion was 32nd notes at 190 bpm?

Guys, he goes to the Paul Green School Of Rock Music. It's so selective; he must know what he's talking about.

Eeeewwwww...

They can mic amps for us, but I've been there a couple times and it's small enough that drums are always audible unmiced. The bands that play there usually get around 50 people max, but the band we're playing with always packs the place like sardines; they put on a great stage show.

Don't mean to hijack the topic, but I got a quick question. My band is doing our first gig in June in a place that we're expecting to get around 150-200 to show up. (Playing with a band that consistently gets around 100-150, we're expecting around 50 for us.) Our guitarists have Line 6 Spider...

I use a mix of Smartelectronix tubescreamer, Ninja cross-delay, Zephod color filters, a ton of overdrives and tape/vinyl simulators. As for what you'll want to use, it depends on the style of music.

That's what happens when you sign up for their newsletter 300+ times, I guess. :P

Mixers condense everything into 1 track. You're looking for an interface.

There's a smaller place out in Golden Valley (30 minutes away from minneapolis when traffic's bad) called My Music Store, you can usually pick up a pretty good deal there if you're buying used. Music-Go-Rounds are pretty decent, too.

Thanks for the replies! Are these ribbons, though? All the info I can find says they aren't. Would it be safe to stick one of these guys up by a kick?
