I have never seen them live and I am continually saddened by this. I loved Battles when they came to London and I can only imagine Don Cab were of a similar standard. I have looked for videos online, but to no avail. Well, I found one pretty terrible one, the camera guy must have been visually impai...

I checked out the topic m which has photos of Don Caballero's recording session and I noticed the Altec 150 floor micing thing going on. What is the reason for using floor mics like this. They look like they are directed at the kick drum so I assume if they are panned L+R they widen the kick drum so...

Dam I love this site. Within 5 minutes there is some helpful replies. Thanks guys. I never thought of using two mics on a bass, now it is mentioned it doesn't seem unreasonable.

Hey guys, I have done quite a few recordings at my Uni studio. I am doing a Music Tech course and I have a reasonable and expanding understanding of the whole process from capturing sound to the mix and production.

But there are two types, upright and sideways. The upright ones seem to fetch a £150 price tag whislt the sidways ones fetc...

Hey, Thanks for the suggestion. I have thought about that, I have done a couple of friends bands in there, as a favour or swap for something they are good at (Flash website building most recently). I am a little funny about bringing people in that I/the college don't know at all, just because if som...

Hey guys, I am doing a Music Tech degree at Rose Bruford, Kent and I am finding the course good because I love music, and bad because it is moving slowly and the other students love beer more than music. No one on the course knows who Shellac, Don Caballero, Matmos, Battles, Tortoise (and whoever el...
