Hey Irwin! I see that you repeated a couple of reviews for people, and left some others out. Maybe a cut and paste error, or something? Not complaining, just pointing it out in case you missed it. Ergh. Probably. I edit offline and then copy in. I'll go back and try to re-paste. Thanks, I probably ...

Obviously it's a real; only variables beginning with i,j,k,l,m or n are integers.

So here's my recommendation for a blank check in a music store: forget the guitar multi-effects and the drum kit and pick up a decent microphone or two. Guitar multi-effects units are fun for practice and general wankery (and there's certainly a place for that), but it's often hard to get useful sou...

OK, let's try that again... Adam Dachis Drums feel stiff and robotic. Ends suddenly, I wanted it to keep going! Vocals sound good, and I like the Yaz-esque synth line. Berkeley Social Scene Jazz oddesey! I like the changing sections. Mix feels too wide, at least on headphones. Perhaps pan the guitar...

Although I doubt that this: http://guitargeek.com/rigview/476/ ..is what Tony Iommi was using in the 70s, which is probably what most people mean when they think "I want to sound like Sabbath". No, but this one is probably correct: http://guitargeek.com/rigview/495/ Jesus. I think I went ...

Well hell, you've got a blank-ish check. From what you've said, your primary noise-maker is the guitar so... Research time, yo. Think of the guitarist(s) whose sound you not only dig, but would like to sound like (at least for now). Go to the websites of the guitar magazines and search for articles...

Willkommen!

Bitte, sei nicht beschissen.

Hip or no, I cannot stop listening to this.

Neither got much love in the votes or on the boards at the time, but I have always liked the Lunkhead tracks More Than Soup and Dirty Chucks.

What does it mean to "beat Gyruss", anyway?

I got to Earth and just had to go back to Uranus. What a ripoff.

I've been looking into anew pair of overheads, and I was considering the Shure SM-81 vs. the Rode NT5 vs the Oktava MK-12.

Anyone have opinions on the relative merits of those?

I'd want something that functions reasonably well in a stereo pair on an acoustic guitar as well.

Or maybe he's not.

Or something.

Nope.

Why would Ross Durand remind you of me?

And come to think of it, isn't that not a very nice thing to say about poor
Ross?

Great. Now I'm hungry.

Anyone used the BBE gear? Is it any good? There's a sonic maximizer sitting idle in my rack right now. For a while I'd strap it across the bus for final mixdown and think "Yeah this is awesome!" Then I started doing one mix with it in the loop and one without and A/B-ing them later and fo...

Anybody else out there using real hardware synths? I've got a couple of Casio CZ-series synths that I fire up from time to time. In fact, my CZ-3000 can be heard doing a pad and solo in the Narcaloungers' Wedding Song. I agree, there's something about playing the Real Deal vs. a software simulation.

Indeed, a lot depends on what your use pattern is. For reference, I do most of my recording nowadays on a G4 Powerbook with 1G of RAM. For what I do, that is more than enough, though I tend to be more of the real instrument/microphone/multitrack kind of guy and less the super-duper plugin and softwa...

A Woman on Paper Suckweasel We met in high school I played it real cool I asked her out to the football game Under the grandstands We made our big plans And things would never be the same She took me by the hand and looked into my eyes And then she said the thing that took me by surprise "Let's...

Suckweasel Great surf vibe out of the box. I listened to this on my "good" stereo and didn't like the mix, but listening again on crap computer speakers, I really like it -- did you mix on crap computer speakers? The chorus lyrics don't work for me, but the rest does, and executed with te...

Anti-M I like the vocal effect in the verse. Perhaps just in contrast, but the vocals in the chorus sound flat. End is a little abrubt. Good song. B. Ellison Nicely done. The accordian in the chorus is a nice touch. The bridge sounds a little chaotic and discordant, which I suppose could be intentio...
