To Lava or not to Lava?

[SRR]

Freudian Slip, a user of these boards is ranting and raving that "being on the Lava" is a sickness that needs a 12 step program, my mixes only get better as I add Lava lamps, glitter ones add that sheen that is missing, red ones add warmth, and if you mix up how many colors you of Lava lamps you get; there won't be a build up of to much of one color. Some may only need two Lava lamps, some may need 10 or more to see a real difference in their mixes.

So the question before the jury to Lava or not to Lava?

I'm a two lamp guy. You can't go around lop-sided.

 

[andyhix]

I have zero and I can record or mix for shit. Draw your own conclusions.

 

[Track Rat]

Oh, come on now. I lived in Ypsi and soaked up some of that mojo so you gotta have it in spades.

 

[EdWonbass]

I have my lava lamp on the left side of me when I'm mixing. I think it evens out the stereo image because I tend to pan too much shit to the right.

 

[nukeitout]

I don't have any lamps, but I had one before. I can mix better now. Of course that could be from learning new things and getting better equipment...

naah it has to be that I don't have my lava lamp anymore I was always this good, just impeded by the lava...

Let it flow

It's really weird, but since installing a professional Lava Lamp in my studio, my recordings have improved dramatically. I feel like I'm in a special cult or something.

It depends

on whether you're a lava person or not.

Just like some people are dog people, some people are cat people.

I like to go with the flow.

I lost count. Different types for different music. I use them, especially the glitter ones, for primary lighting. Maximum effect.

I've got one that's about 2 1/2 - 3 feet tall. It takes forever to warm up, but when it does, a family of Estonians could heat their house with it.

Keep mine just behind me. Always watches my back.

Here is a portion of my collection. I have 19 in all...

Lot's of vibe going on in my studio.

....

The vintage ones are a little warmer, with more color than the new ones, but the newer ones seem alot clearer.

 

[gvarko]

Better tone can be achieved by using a made in the USA lava lamp vs Korea, Japan, Mexico etc....

 

[notCardio]

I don't know

Better tone can be achieved by using a made in the USA lava lamp vs Korea, Japan, Mexico etc....

I'd put those 80's Japanese lavas up against any of the new made in USA crap.

 

[Freudian Slip]

Now the lava lamps are starting fights! What's next?????

Don't forget about the british ones.

Maybe if we talk about this long enough the engineers at Behringer will Google it...
