_Sweet Willie_ Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 The Feb issue of EQ featured 200+ tips about recording from various pros in the field. Props to Craig Anderton, who wrote for tip 69 (and making it tip #69 seems appropriate... Just thought I'd share... Peace. --Sweet "Still Spreadin' the Luv" Willie spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes!

Eric VB Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Cool! I didn't see the Feb issue yet. Thanks for the heads up. What Craig was really saying, though, was: (1) choosing the singer means having to put up with listening to them sing along with everything, (2) choosing the guitar player means having to put up with listening to all 21,732 guitar tracks a million times until he finds just the right one, (3) choosing the drummer means having to put up with, well, a drummer (think "Animal" from The Muppet Show). I can't think of any useful comments that could possibly come from those band members. Besides, none of them will bother to read the "Hands Off! (This Means You!)" sign hanging above the console, assuming they can read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumpelstiltskin. Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 most bass players don't want to dominate the mix. robb. because i like people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Björn Fröberg Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 As I see it, a sound engineer and a bass player has some things in common. Both do their work away from the spotlight, but they do a lot for the music. You could say that they for sure do the music thing because of the music. And as robb said, bass player's (at least usually ) don't want to dominate the mix. - Bob Freebird A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. -Douglas Adams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bear Jew Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 On the other hand, however, the same issue displays a complete lack of understanding of the mantra-to-live-by of "WWLD." Scott Colburn writes in tip #219 regarding miking vocalists: "We're not interested in getting them to sing like Lemmy, we're just trying to naturalize the vocal sound and avoid using a pop filter." [Frown] Hmmmm, what would Lemmy do if he read that passage in the magazine?!Dude. Trick question. Lemmy wouldn't bother reading EQ unless there was an article about Nazi Germany or crystal meth in there. \m/ Erik "To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." --Sun Tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArwinH Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 He would read eq magazine if he were on crystal meth in nazi germany!

tnb Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Craig Anderton has always has nothing but love for bass players. Why he never posts here is a mystery to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
