i'll bet anything that at least 5% of the motivation for that post was to make TMH look like a fool.
Hunh... So did it work? I just re-read my post on this thread, twice, and every word is still true. The fact that he remembers (or dug out a picture or a log or something) and that he shared is nice of him, if not a little surprising. I still don't think it would be reasonable to *expect* answers.
And he really did say, and this is an exact quote, "I don't remember" when I posed a question about the mixing of that album. This may be because my question was a slightly political one, and was a question of motivation rather than any sort of technical data. Or it may be because he thinks I'm an ass. Hrm...
God damn it. Please shut up. You type so much crap to justify more crap. The question was answered (by the person who could answer it, and lo! and behold, it wasn't you), and somehow that STILL warrants a three (3) paragraph answer by you! So once again, and with a pretty please, god damn it, shut up. Thats all and Good Day! Thank you very much.

Whereas I previously stated
Given my limited recording studio experience, I can't imagine anyone remembering this kind of detail after 15 or 16 years.
I stand corrected.

Steve, I was wondering what color pants you were wearing on the morning of October 1, 1988? Were they button-fly or zippered? I've been trying to re-create your pant styles from that period - hope you can help me out.

In a (futile) attempt to bring this thread back from the acursed darkness, i'm wondering about Steve's use of 2 mics on the snare <Snare drum beyer 201+shure sm98 (top) no bottom mic>. I don't think i've ever heard of anyone employing 2 mics like that before. i know i've never done it. Is that for mixing the two for tonal balance, like one would do on guitar/bass cabs?

Yes. As Steve has explained at various other times, he used to tape the SM98 to the side of the Beyer 201 so that their capsules were exactly the same distance from the sound source. From there, he could blend the two signals to taste.
