The stupid part is, the reason I outsourced the mastering was because I was worried about ear fatigue. I premastered two tracks that became lyric videos prior to the official album release, and they sounded 100x better than what he handed back to me.

I know the damn ME at Capitol completely ruined my band's debut with excessive, audible compression.

Truth: It was the "inmates running the asylum" part that brought me back.

You're just going through a phase... At any Rate, I appreciate your Feedback. You always add Depth to these discussions, Caevan. Oh boy. At this Speed, the pun factor in this thread will Drive us all to madness aGain...

You'd hardly need amplification beyond a headphone controller...

Blast from the past! Holy hell I forgot exactly how funny this was...

Snakes on a (optionally motherf***in') Plane

I'm fortunate - I have a drummer that locks to original tempo, even when he's riffing off the original beat. When we rehearse "Perfect Strangers" (Deep Purple), I always feel like we're playing too slow - until I go back and listen to the studio version... then I realize I've been listening to too many live versions

Sticky IMO.

And here I was going to comment about how minimal your setup looked.

BUSTED!

All I could think of was... [video:youtube] Stop! HAMMOE TIME!

Moe-n - buy it for looks, buy it for life.

And all this just for a Christmas present for me? I'm touched.

I'm pretty sure he said it was to control a software emulator, though I may have read it wrong...

I can't say much else other than... [video:youtube]

*applause*

Sticky IMO.

I was fronting a cover band, probably had to be around 1995 or so, when I was still pretty well young, dumb, and full of... energy I had been recruited for this band, mind you, because of my uncanny ability to mimic Jim Morrison, which gave the rather egomaniacal old guitar player plenty of opportunities to solo over simple blues progressions (which he MORE than took advantage of). As you might guess, a New Hampshire boy with a voice like Jim Morrison doesn't do a great southern rock impersonation. Sure enough, though, as much as I hated him for it, the guitarist also demanded we play "Simple Man". One particular show, during a set break, a guy pulled me aside and, in a potent drawl, said "You do great on them Doors tunes son, but I swear, if you ever sing Lynyrd Skynyrd again, Ronnie Van Zant's ghost is going to haunt you the rest of your life." I was completely speechless.

That sure as hell ain't me...

One thread I never mind being necrobumped. I was thinking about necrobumping it myself and asking (jokingly of course) for keyboard tab for "Epic" by FNM (a piece I am actually learning right now, only stick point is the oddball harmonies he used on the guitar solo) - but since Sven took care of that problem for me, I'll just have to go start another thread for help with that issue...

Barbie Q and the Bacon Bits?

You're not the only one. I employ a "de-compressor" (a comp/gate set at some extreme settings) in my home rig. It's not perfect, but it makes the stuff a lot more listenable.

So where's your LMF reharm, Dave? I'm amped up to hear this!
