Thanks everybody. You know what I learned from this? I spend an awful lot of time setting up microphones, adjusting preamps and compressors, tuning instruments, looking for patches, scrolling through windows on my computer, trying to get out of the way of the spaghetti all over the place, retaking cause the phone rang--or somebody just walked through the room. If it weren't for all that stuff recording could get REAL FAST!
chrisharris--I ran the whole freaking mix through a preamp and dialed up the mids until it sounded like old tube stuff. Some "mastering" job, eh?
The award should not go to me but to Participant--he's the funniest guy I ever heard. Defecation takes it, I think. Oh--you gotta listen to his song Lumber too. It totally freaked me out and I went laughing uncontrollably. Hell, I'm still laughing. He's the next Zappa meets Stephen Wright.
