Have a good one! 2015 - bring it on!

There was a great quote from ?uestlove about this album. "For all intents and purposes, this album is the black version of [The Beach Boys'] Smile-- at best, it will go down in the Smile/There's a Riot Goin' On/Miles Davis' On the Corner category. That's what I'm hoping for."

I'll print that out.

Yeh, I've seen some 'expert village' ones before on various subjects. They're pretty out there. Cheers!

Cheers, i'm looking at youtube now. There's a ton of stuff here.

Sounds like a plan! Cheers man.

I've always relied on techs for set ups, and have been happy with that arrangement. Recently though i've decided that I should probably get a bit more involved myself. I know a little, but can you guys recommend a good book or reference source that covers the basics?

A bit late to this party, but i'll throw my hat in the ring. Simplest answer is that there is no simple answer. As an engineer/producer you assess what the track needs, and balance that against what the performer is offering. If you're recording an old school motown type track and all you have...

Nice! I love that the pedals we use to now to make a hell of a noise were originally being sold as being almost something your Nan would like.

This is all really useful stuff. I'm suffering with an as yet undiagnosed problem in both my hands. I keep being told RSI and there's nothing to be done but I aint buying it. The pain is mainly in the balls of my thumbs and, if I am doing the same task with both hands like holding a heavy book...

Don't know if anyone has suggested it but I use a Boss LS2 line selector, set to A+B mixed when kicked in. I put a pedal on the B loop and let the original signal pass through the A loop. That way I always have my clean tone. And it massively widens the scope of dirt pedals you can use as I no...

And the blue LED is bright enough to be seen from space! I've had to stick some tape over it to stop the danger of blinding:) :)

So i've been using the pedal for a week now and i'm in love! I suffer with hand problems, but one of the bands I play in I have quite an aggressive tone. This pedal has kept all of that 'vibe' and allowed me to back right off. And as a studio engineer, it really worked in the same way i'd expect...

I heard he didn't even use strings. Kubrick faked it all for the US goverment.

I do love putting all my pedals on at once to see what happens:)
