Is there a Gordon Ramsay of audio?

and I'm fairly confident our new 22 yr old Drummer doesn't think I treat her like an idiot.

I was more wondering if he "used to be" just because of retiring, or if he messed up somewhere. Could be either, but I'd guess the latter given his assholery.

Might I ask how old this guy is? Just interested.

The question of Ovechkin/russki collusion looms.

I wrote this tune to the tom groove you specified in your directional post, you remember? And, do you need additional parts or ideas for a cohesive form? Or do we add as we go? Yes, I don't want to slow it down very much. Just a tad. I'll see if I can get those toms in there. I think the guitars th...

Alright, I've got an 87 coming in. When that's here I figure I'll use it as a front-of-kit mic, or perhaps a mono overhead if FOK doesn't work out. I'll slow down the tempo as we agreed upon, and we can get this going again.

At least they had good production value.

My sounds are nor modern and slick enough, e.g. not the Nickelback kind of saturated guitar but more the Plexi style rock rhythm. Not the meaty piezoelectric acoustic, but an expensive instrument with a quality pick up for some air and sheen for duo playing. Perhaps what the band leader means by &q...

Stompy and the Chores
Pigs After Pearls

For ITB stuff I always seem to just use the Oxford suite most of the time, mainly because I like the interface. Also laziness.

My mixes improved dramatically once I stopped obsessing over tiny details. Now my most common studio mumble is "yeah this sounds like shit, retrack".

The legend himself has resorted to crowdfunding? Not that it's not worth it. I will surely pick up a copy.

I'm surprised everyone hasn't lost it, honestly. Or have we?

Indeed. I certainly intend to keep going with it when the situation permits. It is a pretty banging tune, after all.

Man those guitars sound great.

Oh no, I agree. Pay him and sell the work of ...fart to a modern art museum. :hp: But in the worst case, writing off a single 3 hour session shouldn't be a big deal in the scheme of things. In the scheme of things carving out 5k from the guitars "to make room for the vocals" doesn't make o...

Okay, I get the point, but say you just bought a McMansion and you want a real sculpture in your pretend roundabout. The sculptor guy shows up and does his job, and shit, it looks JUST like Adonis except with down syndrome and a trumpet out the wazoo like in the old Monty Python cartoons. You know, ...

I think there's actually a pretty cool song in there. It could use a little tightening up here and there... :mm2: Yeah. I know. :cryaway: A good example of my eternal struggle against my right foot. When we were writing the chorus bit, I asked him, "Hey, I've got all these chords here, which o...

Haha, thanks Gronk. Never thought of it that way but I'll take it.

This is one me and my buddy Ricky did a few years back. He did the singing and wrote the lyrics while I played all the instruments, from what I can remember. We co-wrote the instrumentation. It was part of a demo we were working on to get some shows. Had a hard time trying to comp together a vocal o...

The Lost Punchlines

Have you considered forgetting about the whole stereo thing entirely? I split the track and listened to both left and right solo'd after panning each to center. The left side (I think it's the left, should be obvious) sounds much more phasey(?), and the kick sounds like the inside of a basketball. I...

Still waiting for the component level model of a soundcraft 200. Maybe next year?
