In a little rowboat

i know this is probably blasphemy here, but i just wanted to point out that ive been watching ticket prospects for this show on ebay, and there are and have been several sets of seat sold for right at cost, or barely over cost, consistently...clearly the ticket brokers were all over this one from the start, and it is not going to come close to selling out....just a suggestion if you are in a pinch... in addition, i may be buying extras...if i get jammed, ill let you know what i have...

i hope he does read it...some of those claims listed are arguable, but only for the masterbatory sake of doing so...part of loving a band is loving it for all its triumphs and whiffs. some folks come up with nonsense out of the idleness of their easy stimulated brains. some folk simply cant get enough, or expect simply too much from other humans. speculation and debate are natural...what the crazy ones do, they do out of love... i always remind my bandmates than the word 'fan' comes from the word 'fanatic'... as for the wild west remark, maybe...i think the internet is more like the mo

old equipment scares me shitless...especially when it comes to grounding issues...

id like to start by asking what youre recording on...pc, laptop, mac? I assume its a computer. The next step depends on this... basics are: a good dynamic mic (for example shure 57), entry level to pro level interface (m-audio, for example), software (often bundled with interface), microphone preamp (eventually essential)...dont skimp on the cables, buy good ones...experiment often, there are no rule, just suggested and proven techniques... I have used pro tools (over-rated with a steep learning curve), logic, peek, and cubase...after all that, i prefer garageband (im a mac guy),

from my experience i can agree with all but sm7 for kick...i use a d112 mostly, re20 sometimes...remember, placement and tuning the drum are essential too the equation...as well as damping

thanks for the setlist...cant wait for farm aid! i d sure love to see pocahotas, or birds, nice!

might be the best setlist ive ever seen...can only memphis is half as cool

--------Hey there, Thanks so much for your in-depth advice. Clearest musician advice I've read in a long time! After your recommendation I've been looking at the Fishman pickups and have found three types: narrow, split bridge and wide formats. You've been a huge help so far but I've got one more question: what's the difference between all three? I'm only looking at playing in small settings: home recordings and small room/quiet shows. Thanks so much, Anthony----------- oh man my pleasure...cool d-28 style guitar you have...with the fishman you are looking to match the width of your

Have tons of experience here...ill try to nutshell it, but it very much depends on in what manner you'll be playing...home, on stage with a band, or solo acoustic in say a coffeehouse... Basically pickups come in one of 3 types, or sometimes a combination of type (dual source), and anytime you use a pickup in an acoustic its a compromise...most start at around $100 --The UST is piezo-electric material that fits under the saddle and picks up the vibration of the strings, and about 10% of the body...it is by far the most prevalent type of acoustic pickup, because it works... Brands: Fishman,

First place id start asking is here--> Tape Op Building Space forum Im by no means a pro, but ive done a few projects...two main things to remember are that 1) Dead air space soundproofs, and 2) Bass frequencies travel longer and stronger Id insulate the walls with thin fiberglass sheets or eggcrate foam and leave at least two inches of air separation between the exterior walls and the new...particle board is better than sheet rock because it absorbs sound waves better...many folks use green glue to attach the insulation,, as it has some absorbing qualities...youll want to carpet the wa

actually...i find taylors to sound quite different (and lacking a bit) to Martins in general, GEs in particular...personal preference taken into consideration

yes, nice instrument, those GEs are really, really nice...Im a big Martin guy, I have a '70 D-28 (my main guitar), '70 d-18 and a 07' SWOMGT...ill post pics as well... The grain is awfully hard to see, but i was able to get the idea from your description...if you are worried about structural issues from this grain cut, then I would reassure you not to...however, if it is too big an aesthetic hurdle to overcome, Id contact the retailer, or Martin, and get a direct replacement...the GE series are too expensive for you not to get exactly what you want, so bond with it for a week, then make a de

this is correct...youre not pushing the power tubes into distortion...ideally this little box idea would be after the power stage and before the output... FWIW this is the best site ive ever seen for the discussion of the hot rod series...look at the amplification stages diagram to better understand where attenuators fit in... http://studentweb.eku.edu/justin_holton/

does that have a set neck?/ looks pretty cool...

wow, funny i was just reading a post on TGP about the same combo...ill see if i can find it...word was i worked well... man, ive said it a million times now, those damn hot rod fenders, they go from 0 to fucking loud in the touch of a knob...not sure how an attenuator would work that but i doubt the front ends (preamp stages0 are all that different, cept for the drive button...

Milano is one of my favorite cities....Io piace mangiare l'italiano...Grizzly Bear opens, Milan is my pick...

Can you link us to the photos...most articles ive found document it as a National...again, Im sure its a dynamic http://www.well.com/~wellvis/steels/National/NationalDynamic.JPG

They twittered my phone about each pre sale and show...

ditto! wasted brain function...just enjoy!

wow those went fast...got 2 5th center for memphis, and a few 6th row singles...so hard to get 2 together and i was logged in immediately...all i could get, but itll sure work The Orpheum is a great place for a show for anyone who hasnt been there before... As usual...the scalpers on ebay already have better tickets than i do...

on sale when?? im bitting my nails here...

Man id like to jump in, but im a mac guy...what are your error messages, are they driver oriented, or within the software..?? presonus makes good stuff, not 110% amazing, but workable...what is your front end? (mic, pre?)? as for the effects stuff, you could get some cool results from plug ins, but i have to tell you, your best route is to get the takes down in real time, get a few pedals and track the guitar from the best possible takes...then minimal processing afterwards...nels' shit is totally in the fingers, trem bar, and a few stomp boxes...technique, technique, technique...

I play lap steel...not nearly as accomplished as Id like, but i do a bit...i play mostly in open d or g...i think Nels plays in standard a lot of the time, tough, as well as open g...ive been working on getting the swells with the volume pedal to make it sound like pedal steel, not easy either...there are some threads on Nels here http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/index.php I dont know what the other lap steel is, I think a National Dynamic...theres a thread on VC about this as well...
