She helped trounce them. The SS's oldest tactic was to fund far left candidates who would then lose the primary and their supporters wouldn't show up to vote.

In Pelosi's defense, she and her friends managed to completely rid California of the Koch party stench. Show me somebody else who has managed to do that.

Judging by the arguments, he obviously must be a REAL centerist! Common sense is so rare in politics.

By the way, as someone who is on Medicare, it certainly isn't nearly as good as the healthcare in Canada!

They also win by pointing out that government corruption is the problem and that it doesn't need to be corrupt the way the SS party operates it.

The government IS THEIR enemy! That's the whole problem.

It is a mostly union suburb of Pittsburgh. He brought the Reagan Democrats back into the party.

Something too many liberals miss is that while Lamb would never propose the Bernie talking points, he would also not vote against them unless he was convinced most people in his district were opposed. He's a small donations guy who is opposed to the corporate-backed leaders of both parties. If he we...

The SS fascist party only cares about the ability of a given subject to divide people and distract from their corruption. Their 53 years of propaganda has converted around 30% of the public and disgusted another 30% to the point that they won't vote.

There's plenty of evidence that we have a few generations who are bored to tears with recorded music in general. It's all about people wanting to listen over and over. The way you do that is by being unabashedly yourself.

Adele proved that you can still sell records if they are good enough.

Every single choice should be on a musical level. I think our problem today is too many choices based on fashion or hero worship and not enough actual mastery of an instrument. Fingers have a greater effect on sound than any recording gear.

I disagree about fashion, i.e. poser-think.

The music just needs to "work" and connect emotionally with the listener.

The political party of the rich (I'm calling them the Southern Strategy or SS party lately) has been preaching that government is the source of all problems for 45 years as America's middle class has all but disappeared. This has created a lot of very angry people. The SS party has also been pushing...

I agree, if they require "learning," they aren't good enough.

The main thing about monitors is that you don't ever want any dips or holes in the response because they can suck up detail in a transparent way that leads to rude awakenings elsewhere. Over the years I've come to seriously question the whole idea of "learning" monitors. It's ONLY about wh...

A friend of mine knows a couple retired NASA engineers who are convinced that at least the booster landing was fake.

Interesting, that's closer than I was thinking. It looks more like how I used to place what I called my "overhead." I put a floor tom mike in the same place too for stereo. I did that on "I Just Want to Celebrate" shortly after I bought my 67s.

Hi and welcome back! 1. I've played with stereo overheads using two figure-8s but decided it didn't sound as good as one mono overhead. Around ten years ago I was speaking at a Tape Op convention in New Orleans. I checked out Russ Hogarth's drum workshop and saw him set up a front-of-kit mike in add...

One of the first lessons I was given when I started working in post was to compare two mixes for a music video. One had been supplied by the label and the other had been mixed from stems by my boss while watching the picture on a pretty big screen. The minute you turned the TV picture off, the mix f...

He's got a book coming out. His dad and Sinatra both gave him a ringside seat to the mob and their various money laundering activities.

This was great!

I didn't know these were on YouTube, He interviewed me around a year ago.

Plug-in developers have a huge challenge coming up with something different. Their market just like the computer market is utterly saturated with ten-year-old products getting the job done for millions of people.

Andrew's goal was to speed up his work. I'm sure the settings ranges are for how he uses specific devices as opposed to any kind of universal settings.

Just make sure nothing peaks above - 1 so it can't clip the encoding.

What scares me is that the oligarchs are so full of themselves that we could have an armed rebellion only with drones and not firearms.

I understand DIY recordings streamed or sold as files are eligible for awards. I'll see what I can find out about the details.

Many of these people had been professional songwriters.

The songs coming out of Nashville in the '50s were staggering so we saw that as our competition. The top songwriters were holding bidding wars between labels which resulted in the labels giving preference to singer-songwriters. This completely changed the industry placing less importance on the qual...

People didn't think in terms of sounding like or not sounding like much. At Motown we were actually trying to not sound like Motown fearing it was a fad but it didn't work unless we used different musicians. More modern technology helped people sound more different but I doubt it helped much.
