i can only think now of the bad ones i found funny (i managed to forget the others):

bruce dickinson;
the mission (none of these two need any comment);
and john cale (promotional gig, he repeated songs because he said he wasn't being fair to the guitar player's abilities while performing stupid ...

any opinions on the T-Bone mics? Someone recommended them to me and their price is ridiculous but i haven't checked them.

I am surprised that people kept posting their thoughts about this subject but i guess it is an interesting one that challenges best engineers, that is, doing more with less. i have moved on from the techniques i used in the sense that i cannot expect to get the same sound from my mics from the same ...

on one occasion, mixing at electrical, i told steve i wanted a guitar solo to jump out like the one on 'search and destroy'

he said he would like to have five dollars for every time someone referenced _raw power_ during a recording session

but he was pretty sure no one ...

Thinking back, sometimes one thinks that things could only happen one way and that such an album as 'spiderland' had to happen, but it is a miracle to treasure. It is a turning point. I am sure many of us have wondered if they would play together again but I prefer it the way it's been. They've ...
