That doesn’t look like very much fun.

Yeah, it’s definitely ironic. NOW it’s easy.

I try to roll with the changing ways of “current trends”, which happen to be easy as hell compared to getting a band together and learning the hard way vs. using a looper, a couple synths and a drum machine. I wish I learned about that a long time ago, but I didn’t.

Freakin Monoprice 15 watt. NOS tubes, new reverb tank, Eminence Legend GB128, that`s one hell of an amp.

I hear ya, the internal mixer works fine for 99% of anything. It’s just good practice, and something I never get to mess with in real life, so it makes it more interesting. Especially when you get your own choice of effects. It’s as real as it’s gonna ever get for me, anyways.

I have several apps for that. But by far I prefer Addictive Drums. Split across the channels, like a real drum set.

Whoa! Going to the DARKSIDE! I got a Dr. J Sparrow(Sans Amp bass clone) in the mail today and it sounds GREAT.

Wow, that`s insanely good. Everyone is on spot.

I will share this. I once bought 8 hours, $75 an hour, at a really nice studio. I had 3 guys, myself, a bass player and a drummer. A lot of the time was spent making drum samples from his hits on his kit, fine. But we knocked it out in a few takes. It took a LOONG time for my vocals(original 1950`s C12) The guy became really interested in the song. He had me layer it with a Telecaster and a Rick 12 string. All in all, he spent 12 hours on it, bought us food, and had bags under his eyes when he came out. He said "we don`t have these good of songs come through very often" so he spent 4 hours free time because he enjoyed it. I`ve posted this a lot, but I know some are going to want to hear it. So this is an SSL 4048E -Otari MX-80 2" and I don`t know what else. This was recorded around 1998. It`s old news to most everyone here. https://app.box.com/s/4be7250990c926505421

I`ve made 4 or 5 albums(cough) with bands and a couple on my own, with a dedicated engineer. I NEVER liked the click track. There always seemed a tendency for the band as a whole to speed up against the click track as the song advanced, and that was probably because there was never one used at practice.

The Breeze is a great tune. I remember the guy who wrote it died a few years ago. He was either local or regional because it was on the news. Apparently a lot of "other people" wrote those songs.

Yes, every once in a while I still get really drunk:idk:. It’s a big improvement from every day.

Lots of hot young babes, there. Wonder how they held up.

Yeah, I love that. Almost everyone I interact with are either Miles Davis or Classical aficionados. Miles Davis didn`t do much in his later on.."Merp". I appreciate Steve and his classical sense, but I can`t relate to it much. I try, and he tries to talk to me about it..uhuh..uhuh..I can`t even read music like he does.I`m just a lowly, mostly self taught person. Not much to brag about.
