  1. Wow, I'm sorry to hear about that. I hope it all works out okay.
  2. Originally posted by Matt Hepworth I've got some USA made Mackie HR824's that I, unfortunately, need to sell. I like 'em alot, but I like my Dynaudios more. $SOLD! I may only have a few posts here, but I'm sure Phil will vouch for me. Thanks! Who are you again? Yup, Matt's one of the "good guys".
  3. Good to have you back with us Rhino! So, where did you go this summer? I hope you had a good time!
  4. I like wide acoustics too.. especially when you have a really stripped down mix like that, with only a few elements. IMO, it was just a bit TOO wide though... but that's what comes down to personal preferences. I certainly had zero beefs with the overall guitar tone. Nice job.
  5. hethaerto4, that was a nice recording. I've always liked that song. Cool guitar tone too... but IMO, it's a bit "wide" on the stereo. Maybe pull that stereo delay in a little tighter? IOW, I'd try a little shorter delay time to narrow it a wee bit. But the tones are good and the mix balance sounds really good. Nicely done!
  6. Hi Bob - good to have you with us! I was just looking at your site and I saw the THD Univalve combo unit - I've got a Univalve, and a 1X12 combo for that would be sweet! I hope they eventually release that!
  7. Hey everyone - just a reminder - please take the time to check out three or four submissions from other people for each submission of your own. It's on the "honor system", but it's really the only way we can make sure that everyone gets their stuff listened to and discussed, and that this thread doesn't just turn into a "submissions only / no comments given" wasteland. Thanks!

Thx! - Phil) *********************************** Hey Dudes, let me know your honest opinions on this one. I just finished it today. I did all of the instrumentation and sequence programing, my gal friend did the vocs. http://www.project80s.com/danny/Blue%20Skies.mp3
  9. Originally posted by mentoneman fancy running into you here! anytime you're in the redlands area on a sunday morn, stop by the packinghouse and say hi. and if you time it right, you can see brad too- Pat I'm definitely looking forward to popping in over there one of these days... I have not seen Brad in forever, and he's definitely one of the "good guys" - an incredibly nice (not to mention talented) person!!! Thanks for the invitation Pat - I'll try to give you some advance notice before I visit. But it might be a while - I'm pretty tied up right now. Phil
  10. BTW, I tried responding to your PM marcellis, but your box is full. Please remove some of your old mail.
  11. Originally posted by marcellis I'll try this once more. Brand new - last week. Latin lounge. A Woman from Cuba Would be grateful for some tips on mixing. Well, I have not had the chance to run it over to the studio yet, but on my el cheapo computer monitors, it sounds to me like you might want to pull down the lead instrument part - IMO, it's really too loud. It's overpowering everything else IMO. Sorry I didn't get a chance to listen earlier. I really don't always check out every song that gets linked - I do try to get in and listen to some things when I can (always following the 3-4 songs reviewed before submitting something of my own for everyone else to hear guideline ) but for those who I may have missed, I apologise. Of course, if you want to ask for my specific opinions folks, please feel free to post the link here and then drop me an email or PM, and I'll try to give it a listen just as soon as I can get to it.
  12. Yeah Steve... I'd try some hand percussion stuff first. And please let me know when you have a new version ready to listen to - as usual with your stuff, I enjoyed that song quite a bit.
  13. Originally posted by Steve LeBlanc any advice on this mix? FEVER Nice job Steve. Are you thinking about leaving it "drumless"? IMO, I think some goovin' drums (or maybe some hand percussion) on that track would help flesh it out a bit.
  14. Good to see you Blue Strat / C. Bradley! Some MP members have been unable to "get" their MP screen names over here or have decided they wanted to use something different for a change of pace. Many of them have placed something along the lines of "AKA Blue Strat on Musicplayer" into their sig lines so that people would recognise them. You don't HAVE to of course, but if you WANT to.... Good to have you joining us!

  16. Hey Lee - well done. I particularly liked the classic jangle of tracks like "Add Water" and "Goin' Places". Good stuff. I also enjoyed "Neophyte, and detect a bit of Costello influence in the vocal approach on that one. Again, well done all the way around! I'm headed to listen to the MP3 you emailed me next...
  17. Unscrew yourself Private Tedster; "Jerry" is spelled with a "J" and NOT a "G". You failed to follow one of the basic rules of warfare: know thy enemy.
  18. I've fallen victim to that a couple of times too Rog, but I can edit posts.
  19. Mike, did you mean a Boss VF-1, or maybe a Roland VG-8? I'm not familiar with a Boss VF-8.
  20. Originally posted by Robman2 Phil, September looms...more road trip ahead CEDIA and then New England, NYC, Levin's etc... Any thoughts on when we eat? R Still up in the air Rob, but as soon as I know at my end, I promise you'll be one of the first to know.
  21. Well, I did hand out one guitar recording experiment assignment... so far.
  22. Quit your complainin' Spencer... it took me four and a half years to rack up 17,500 in posts (I was #2 on MP - I try harder, but I could never catch Tedster... ) and now I have to start all over again. I tell you what: Post three times before dinner and you don't have to eat your brussel sprouts. And just be thankful I have not started handing out homework assignments again... yet.
  23. Good to have all of you aboard! Now get to talkin' and see if you can't get those post counts back up to your previous levels. You have until supper, so you'd better get busy.
  24. Sean, that '49 sure looks sweet! Unfortunately, I don't think I can afford it right now. More accurately, I don't think I can convince my wife that I can afford it right now. OTOH, back when she was on RCA, she did all of her vocals through a '49, so maybe I could work off of that angle "...hey honey, look! It's the same type of mic you used back in your RCA days! And it's been fully restored... the price seems reasonable... wouldn't it be cool to have one of those? They ARE great mics..."
