I'm from Louisiana, I can relate

This was actually a very insightful flashback into this period of the Beatles. I was surprised how well documented some of the behind the scenes facts are, including their personal feelings & insecurities at the time. Whoever made this video did their homework and they have some great, high quality photos of that era too. Bravo 👏 Oh, and SPOILER ALERT... The Beatles were huge f*cking potheads 🤣

The consensus is that this is pre AI. It def seems legit to me Anyway, I don't think we give birds enough credit for their intellect & awareness

I had no idea that Mexican Folklore taught that owls were witches. So is this just an innocent bird dancing to the groove or is it an evil bird who's mocking the worship of God? ( I'll let u decide 🤷)

Yeah, IMO too many people are a little too an@l about sound isolation. I was stressing over it too when I first started out. After all, it's the "right way" to record. But now, I usually record my vocals without using headphones at all. With headphones, even on just one ear, I tend to sing slightly flat.(I've learned this is due to not hearing the skull & jaw bone resonate). So I've developed a vocal recording workflow where I turn the music on my monitors down low and I don't monitor the mic at all. And I'm very happy with the results and the speed of the process. I even use a condenser mic (& compression). However, I put an eyeball isolation filter on it to help block some of the monitor bleed from the back & sides. I can usually even apply melodyne on the clips if I need to and it still sounds great in the mix. In my experience, it's not a HUGE diff from headphone bleed. To each his own though. And I know some music & situations require more strict isolation. I just think a lot of people make too big a deal out of it. They end up sacrificing some vibe and workflow for perfectionism. I'm personally more concerned with the overall product & feel. And having a better workflow is just a bonus. So I usually go with the Van Halen approach... "If it sounds good, it IS good". 👍 (As long as no one ever isolates my sloppy-as§ tracks, I think I'll get away with it 🤣)

Just thought I'd post this for the whammy users here. I personally deck my tremolo but Carl's advice for a floating setup(w/ angled claw) makes a lot of sense and he always seems to be in tune. (He's a killer player too)

Best knock-knock

Mark Knopfler is left handed, but he cannot play guitar left handed. That, of course, means you're his evil twin 🧑‍🤝‍🧑
