This thread is perfect for the prepared guitar nerds. I’m kind of inspired! One of my favorite prepared guitar things it to take an elastic hair tie thingie and putting it on the guitar neck at harmonic points like 5th or 12th fret, great for fingerpicking weird little stuff like that. Also taking ...

much everybody on Beggars Banquet! I like that Mick Jagger got the cheapest mics out of everyone though. I wonder if that 57 was always intended to be a scratch vocal mic with the idea he would re-record vocals at a later date? Maybe not. I do think it is hilarious when I see these plots of studios...

Cleaned up brake drums also make for dandy alt percussion too if you're just trying to expand the sound palette of a recording. For that matter, some interesting sounds can be had from cashed dull circular saw blades too & old cast iron but they've come back in fashion for cooking again thankfu...

Rad thread. For drums it is fun to use large serving chopsticks from any Asian Food Market as really light "quiet time" sticks. Like these. https://www.amazon.com/Donxote-Noodles-Kitchen-Cooking-Chopsticks/dp/B01MU8I6WY/ref=asc_df_B01MU8I6WY/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=69371...

I’ll try to look for some kind cable tie solution w/o velcro. I hate that stuff If you dont want velcro I use stage cotton tie line. A spool is like $30 and goes a long way. you can untie and change stuff and tie it back, I screw little eyelets into the back of my desk and tie the cable runs to it ...

Bought an Electro Voicr 658L mic on a whim for very cheap. Anyone familiar? Ok, the seller can’t find that one so it was canceled. Got an EV 665 w/ a return policy coming instead I had an EV 676 that I loved for vocals. It was kinda thin but rejected monitors very good. We shared a rehearsal space ...

Aw heck, you know what, I'll even just go head and cover shipping too.

If I decide to get rid of them, we can talk.

Is there a reason not to do this, other than it being dangerous and inconvenient? https://i.imgur.com/y5DUZdg.jpeg Dude I fight that shit so hard. That isn't even that bad. No matter how hard I try to bundle stuff and group stuff and use shortest runs ETC... It's always spaghetti when I'm done. Uns...

PMC's finally in place https://i.imgur.com/rCLJWri.jpg Pretty absurd. the folding table is going to have to go and I'm building a new desk. They sound great at low to moderate volume (where I like to work anyway) but quickly overwhelm the space if pushed a little. Its a lot for what is basically a c...

It looks alive. Like the Zerg buildings in Starcraft. Crazy how you never feel all that movement.

2 Kidneys, 2 lungs, 2 halves of a brain that we can lose huge chunks of and still go on living... 1 Heart!? LAME!
