So I started tracking the guitars for my album.

Nope the whole drum kit (except the gong-bass drum) is Noble & Cooley. The snare is a 14x6 Alloy Classic.

I want the dog.

 

[Matt Crooks]

I want the dog.

He hangs with me when I work in the studio by myself.

 

[SymbolicSV]

has The dog some importance in the guitars sound ?
John Macalusso
is that your studio ?

No, the dog was just there to hang. I don't let him in the room with the cab(s) when I'm playing, it's too loud in there. He sleeps in the control room with me though.

John was unbelieveable. The best drummer, by far, that I've ever recorded. He was also a very nice guy - we had some good times at the local bar!

Yes - it's my place. The build isn't done yet - only the small recording room is done, the big one will get finished this summer.

the antique lamp is a nice touch too....vintage

 

[Nebulous]

Haha, awsome man. I recently worked on a project with all those amps too. The results can be fucking crushing!

 

[JeffTD]

Well goddamn, that's a ton of killer gear!


I'm digging the home-made looking moveable "foam" walls - did you do those yourself?

 

[du8]

I always wanted to try on of those yamaha "Subkick" things. How much do you end up using it in a final mix?

:zombie: Hey dont you guys have your cabs backed up against a wall when you record them??

I always assumed that was mandatory....

You are joking, right ???????

No...should I be?

 

[Glenn Fricker]

Never heard the argument for or against (Ok, I'm an idiot!) Care to enlighten us heathen bastards, Brett?

Inquiring minds want to know.

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

OK, not mandatory, but more often than not, you're against a wall. Much more. No?
