  1. I use a combintion of outboard gear and DAW. Currently I am using Audacity to record, mix and edit but I will be deciding on a more permanent set up. I have Ableton and N-Tracks as well but I really don't like either one. For hardware I have a Line 6 TonePort that I use for I\O and I line out of that into a Berringer Xenyx 2442 mixer. I have a some KRK RP5 powered montiors and KRK powered sub that I use for playback and mixing. I pretty much use Line 6 Gearbox for all my effects, vocals and guitars. I have my drums mic'ed and running into the mixer and I use the mixer to dial those in befor
  2. It's fine you're not a Jay fan but that ^ is just plain out wrong. Evidentally you missed the songs in open tunings on his last few records. What I don't get is why his personality makes him any less of a musician or detracts from his work. Either you like his music or you don't. Until I hear that he beats his wife and kids, or some other REAL bad behavior, I couldn't care less if he wasn't smiling during some after show autograph signing. He's a musician not a motivational speaker.
  3. Really good stuff, SBS is going to be a great album. Either Way sounds like some long lost early Brinsley Schwarz tune.
  4. Sweet, last time I saw SV in Boulder they freakin' rocked. As for Jay being unfriendly he was real nice the two times I met him. After a 2003 solo show at the Mishawaka Inn in CO he stood on the edge of the stage and signed autographs chatting with those waiting for a long ass time. Many people snapped his photo as that was happening, he seemed cool with it then.

  6. I'd look into the Line 6 Tone Port and pursue PC based recording. The TP is only $199 and it pretty much does it all, I really like the bass and vocal models. I use mine for everything from vocals to drums and get great results. Using a DI box like the TP with a mixer is even better. I have a total of less than 1.5K invested in my entire studio including mics, well I guess that doesn't include the PC but I already had that. I did everything on the cheap, Peavey 12 channel board, Tone Port, Fostex powered monitors and sub, Shure 58's and 57's and Nady drum mics. People are amazed by how goo
  7. Brad's also in Urban's new music video, I saw it last night. I'm no Keith Urban fan but he can tear it up on guitar, that he recruited Brad for his band shows he has taste as well.
  8. Here's a pic of the Tele I just modded. I was considering a 52 RI but I hate the color of the new ones, most are a really weird pumpkin orange color. So I built this 2006 50's Tele instead. It's a poly finish but I think it feels better than most of the similar US Fender's I've recently played. I scored a pretty good deal on it too, with the mods I'm in it around $600 which is less than a new one. This is what I did to it.

  9. Lol, sadly at this time no Dano's.
  10. I have a bunch of stuff, I play it all too. I need to mention that since I get the usual "you can only play one at time" remarks when I mention my gear. Most of my stuff is used for home recording but I do play out from time to time if a friends band needs an extra hand.

  11. If EVH's playing at NAMM is an indication of where his chops are at the moment he needs to do some woodshedding before the tour. His wacky behavior and ultra crummy playing has been the buzz at many guitar forums in the past few days. I predict a train wreck.

    It's my favorite Wilco album, the further they get away from that sound the less I listen.
  13. Please look at the Ibanez DE-7, for $65 it can't be beat. It gets a few bad reviews but all seem to be durability issues. Personally I'm not a "stomper" so I haven't had a problem. The pedal does both delay and echo. The slapback is great for not only that old surf and rockabilly sound but works great for that haunting 70's David Lindley slide tone. The delay can do a bunch of stuff with switchable delay times. See and hear it here.
  14. IMO the only traits Nirvana shared with the Pixies were a few songs featuring the soft verse loud chorus with screamed vocals and that's where the similarity ends. It's not like the Pixies invented that anyway, they were a great band but not the hugely influential band people think they were. That stuff might have sounded fresh then to unsuspecting indie kids but the formula was old hat. Rock and metal bands had been doing that for years when they starting ripping off the first practitioners of that, Led Zeppelin. Personally I still think Nevermind sounds great. IMO It's alleged "bad produc
  15. Hey, wow, thanks for noticing, very cool.
  16. I agree. If anyone else say the "vintage" Police concert they aired on VH1 a few months back you know they weren't a phenominal live band. I was so disappointed I actually stopped recording the show.
  17. I don't think that rant proves he's anything but a bad stand up comic. At first it seems like he was trying to turn it into a bit but he lost control of it and the audience. I don't think he's any more at fault than the audience member it was directed at. He did as much as he could to make it ugly in the end. When he got up an decided to turn it into a confrontation is when it got worse. Go ahead and walk out if you're offended but confronting a performer is never a good thing. Sure Richards could have handled it better but the guy took part in it too. I can't say I approve of what he said b
  18. That wouldn't be an easy song to cover, that they were able to capture key elements of the guitar jam part impressed me. The odd thing was the vocalist guy kind of flubs the intro part but once they start on the "jammy" part it came together.
  19. It's looks like they are in a school commons or cafeteria, you can see people coming in and out of the hall behind them. Very respectable cover. That drummer is a brute, I don't think Bonham could smack his ride that hard that many times.
  20. I modded my VJ Combo with a V-Mod kit I bought on ebay. For $25 and the time it took to pull out the chassis it was well worth the time and money. The kit is simple to install, it requires drilling 3 holes in the face and 4 solders to opposite ends of 2 resistors. It included a "bright" switch, "gain" switch and "standby" switch. I really bought the kit just for the standby switch but was pleasantly surprised by the way the other switches affected the amps tone. The bright added some sparkle and the gain gave the amp a little more drive, which is very subtle but vintage sounding. With the amps
  21. Holy shit, the 08/05/1975 Sabbath show is killer. Ozzy never sounded better, especially on the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath\Sabotage stuff. Wicked.
