When the Talk Stops callout

Sign in to disble this ad
I did a search but did not find this particular topic. If it has been threaded before (and I don't know why it wouldn't have been), please direct me.

I recently re-upped my membership here to the $30 mark so I could get the When the Talk Stops album. The genre variety is wide, and while not all the music on there is my personal taste, I really enjoy listening to it for exactly that reason. So this is a call out request:

If you have a recording on this album please list describe the rig you used to get your tone, your approach to playing and where the music came from.

For example, James Hart is clearly using his Bee with that single coil goodness on "Snowden" (Hope my spelling is right, the CD is not with me). But what else and how?

This album is a dialog piece, and reading posts on here everyday like I do, I think I get insight into other players' musical vision, as it were. And that makes the whole thing more interesting.

So if you wouldn't mind . . .

My track is "Snowed" and it's actually my 5 string Benavente with Dimarzio Ultra Jazz and Demeter pre... little bass and mid bump via the onboard pre and pickup balance was centered. I believe it was strung with SIT Rock Bright Steels and I was recorded out of the 'line out' of a UK era Ashdown MAG combo.

Drums were programmed within Sonar

Guitar is an early 90s Squier Strat with Dean Markley (I think) 11s into a Johnson J-Station on a blackface setting.

Here is the track for those without the CD (everyone should buy a copy, it's a real cool collection of material!)

James, sorry for the misspell. I'm surprised that you didn't use your Bee. From your profile I thought you did your bass and guitar lines on it.

The CD came out about 2 years before I got the Bee Otherwise that would have been the case. The CD of mine that song is from was recorded with either my Bart loaded and defretted Hamer 5 string or the White fretted Benavente 51 5-string... all guitars were my Squier strat (black, rosewood w/ purple moto pickguard).

Thanks for mentioning my track though It made my morning when I saw your post.

I have been searching the site for this cd & can't find anything about it other than this thread. I don't remember seeing it in the store. Where can I get a copy?

I like that tune James

hdracer - there are 52 tracks on the album. I'm only halfway through listening to it. I think you can buy it straight from TB, and I would highly recommend it. There's a lot of good stuff on there.

Where are Tom Bowlus and Joe Nerve?

My two tunes come from different CD projects. The song "Misunderstood" is from our earlier project (mid '90s). The bass is my '91 Thunderbird, and I recorded through a Stewart UDP-1a, which in turn fed a Peavey VMP-2. We recorded onto ADAT-XT's, and mixed with a Mackie 1604-VLZ.

The song "Hey" was recorded in the late '90s, and once again features my beloved T-bird. I had just received my Eden Navigator preamp before laying down those tracks, and I hadn't yet figured out the noise you get from the Navigator when the side chain and the aux in interact (if you are not running anything in them, you need to run one wide open and one all the way off, or else you get a hum). This was recorded onto the ADAT-XTs, and then dumped to Pro Tools. When we were mixing in Pro Tools, an engineer friend of our singer "helped out," and used some drastic EQ to get rid of the hum. I had to work with him to get some it back, which was accomplished mostly by reamping through the Stewart, then I think my Walkabout, into a mic'd Mesa/Boogie Diesel 410. The effect on "Hey" is a Q-tron.

There are a lot of great tunes on that CD. I'd love to see a second TB CD project!
