mike

i'm also down for snagging some Poison Idea and the Frontier stuff.

boing! i like this record, but i already have it on black and i know it would be a lot more appreciated in some of your hands, so i'm open to trades or offers!

has there been any word on limited-ness of the LP? just wondering where i should order it from.

sorry, i thought about this part a little more... it's not even a time thing. there are just instances where you get that really special take, one that you can't simply recapture by doing it again because it had an unexpected character. to throw it away because one word may be a little flat is silly. my personal feeling is that the end result is what's important. there are terrible musicians out there who write great songs. just because you kind of suck at playing guitar doesn't mean your tunes don't deserve to be recorded and heard. if it takes a little nudging to make it work (and the person at the keyboard knows how to do it inconspicuously), then that's what it takes. the song is what's important. i don't care how good a band can be live. i'm not mixing their show. and you gotta remember, even good players can get red light fever.

i use the snare bottom to pic up the rattle of the snares. i get the crack and body from the top and then mix in the bottom to get that snare buzz where i like it. it doesn't take up anymore room in the mix, just kinda fills out the snare sound. when you've tried a bottom snare mic, have tried pointing the mic directly at the snares?

awesome! here we go.... you didn't use auto-tune b/c it's ruining the music industry. nope, no auto-tune, but i'm pretty meticulous with tracking and comping. though, auto-tune or melodyne, when used sparingly and correctly, are very valuable tools. i'm not someone who just ignores them on a moral standpoint. you used tape, b/c it limits the amount of editing you can do...and if done correctly sounds brilliant... no tape. all digital. same opinion with editing as tuning: it's a valuable tool. you recorded at your house, so I hope there's some bathroom reverb in there somewhere.... nope, all in the box verbs. it'd be awesome if you didn't use Pro Tools pro tools all the way. it'd be awesome if you use decent Mic Pres yup! API 512c's. What was your mic set-up for the drums specifically...how long did you guys spend on drums sounds...how long on tuning the drums kick inside: d112. kick outside: md421. snare top: sm57. snare bottom: c451b. toms: e604. hat: ksm137. ride: c451b. OHs: km184. Rooms: e300. sounds came together pretty quick. probably a couple hours between throwing the mics up and having the EQs dialed in. tuning was quick cause the drummer knew how to tune well. How many guitar sounds to you try out before you stuck with this guitar sound. not many. we kinda knew what we were going for. it's pretty meat and potatoes. we threw a boost and comp pedal in line for the leads. what was your set-up for recording bass?? mic the cab? DI into the board? Compression ratio?? went DI. i think i did 6:1, but it might have been 10:1.

some friends of mine just started a new band, so i said i would record their demo for them. they're pretty rad! fast, shreddy, and really catchy. recording nerds, let's nerd out on recording stuff! non-recoridng nerds, if you want some new tunes to check out click below. they're called They Stay Dead... stream: http://theystaydead.bandcamp.com/ download: http://www.mediafire.com/?jefaxgf68imdkb6

got my copies today. they look great. hope you guys dig the record!

Hahaha! Yup! wow, i have something hickey doesn't.

Underdog on the left, What Goes On on the right.

I'd be into seeing what the Vs. deluxe would have. That's still my favorite record by them. I bought that LP when it first came out cause it was released a week before the CD. I always thought that was rad, and I loved that it had different artwork too. Then the CD came out and that was the first I ever remember seeing a digipack. Albeit, the weird locking one that it was. Anyone remember that? Am I old? Haha...

the numbers for the hair aren't known. they're just less frequent than the others.

ha! you know, i never knew the dates of any of that stuff. thanks for teaching me something, brent! how fun...

The 1st 7" is great. Stoked for the rest...

i'm stoked that you're stoked on these! i definitely put in the effort to make them all work with the artwork. the tan/green could have been a little cooler, but oh well...

1000 total. do it!

Strike two...

Where's your tradelist hiding?

there were no color pressings of Walk Among Us. get cracking... http://www.misfitscentral.com/misfits/discog.php

hey, i'm just tired of waiting for this to come out. i've done right by the band, and bought the record. Now I just want to chill out and listen to the record, instead of this waiting game. that i'm terrible at. late sickteen i just googled it and found it pretty easy.

cause i've been to several stores around me lately and keep finding sealed, original copies of Dead Milkmen "Bucky Fellini" and "Beelzebubba." and then today i found a sealed copy of Descendents "Enjoy" on Restless, still with the original promo sticker with quotes, SRP, etc... it's bizarre, but awesome, cause none of the stores are trying to charge anymore than a regular new LP.

They did? I've never seen it, and Discogs makes it look like it was only ever on CD... there was just the "tapin' up my heart" 7". they never did the EP or the full collection version.
