Yep. BenTechMusic or something like that. He was very gifted at mixing and mastering. One of his threads that sticks out in my mind is his argument for paper speaker cones vs. other materials.

I just realized there are 2 versions of this on youtube. The Official Audio version and the Official Music Video version. I've been listening to the Audio version and didn't like the song until I just saw the Video version of it. Now I can't stop listening to it. I don't know if it's my imagination or the fact that the Video version triggers all the nostalgia in me seeing them all together, but the mix seems better in it to me. I forced myself to watch Rick Beato's 'reaction' to it (sorry but I can't stomach the guy), and I do have to agree with him on one thing. He commented on it being overcompressed or something along those lines. I got the impression he didn't care for it but was kissing ***** in hopes of getting an interview with Paul and Ringo.

Give it a couple years. AI will be able to emulate any voice. Then we'll be hearing brand new songs sung by Elvis that he never heard.

You should be able to get some nice tight rimshots with that bad boy.

The sign says "World's largest amps". "Technically" the amps in this picture are pretty small ... just sayin' ... -
Somewhere there's got to be a photoshopped pic of your head on a gophers body peaking out a golfball hole. I just know there is.

We're all flawed and wrong in a lot of ways. I made up a saying one time as kind of a joke. I was talking to someone about another person we knew and the condition of the place they were living in. This person started busting on them. Off the top of my head I just blurted out, ... well, when my halo and water walking sandals show up from Amazon Prime then I'll judge them. It's shut down a lot of conversations I didnt want to be part of since. Lol. It's always funnier when it's true.

And they are leftyphobes to boot! Not a single left handed guitar, keyboard, or mic icon anywhere! -
I was thinking more along the lines of it being a 3 dollar bill. (Old joke in not allowed to say anymore) ?

The 250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time By Rolling Stone
Shane_B. replied to kennywtelejazz's topic in The Coffee House
Yeah, a lot of greats aren't on there. Another one is Kenny Vaughn. I think he started out in punk, but now he does cointry. But he's another one who can play anything. He's one of The Fabulous Superlatives. Marty Stuart's band. Stuart can play too. Their claim to game is they just play straight through the amps. No pedals. There's an interview out there about when they played on one of the late night talk shows and the band and crew were freaking out because they just showed up with their amps and no other gear. Just found the show ... https://youtu.be/Cx_l9kLxycw?si=0n2_fcOxHW9hb8Os -
Saying these bands sucked on my part was a bit overboard. The long version of my point of view is, while I can appreciate these people as musicians and their talent, I personally can't connect with their music. I guess that's a more PC way to put it. As I get older I appreciate a wider variety of music based on how well it was recorded rather than the actual music itself. Hope I'm explaining that clear enough. I'm getting more in to the ear candy part of it rather than the actual musical aspect of it. That's why I pick up old LPs of people I've never even heard of, just because I know that the label they are on took great Carr to make a great recording. I picked up a mint condition box set of Liberace last year. It was pressed on heavy vinyl and was released as a high quality recording. They went in to detail where it was recorded and how. It was from the late 50s early 60s. Do I like his music? Some of it, but it "sounds" amazing. I don't normally have those experiences with hard rock or metal. I can listen to that and get the same feeling from an MP3 or beat up old cassette. But back to my point, I have to connect with the music in that case and a lot of these bands that have truly great musicians I just can't connect with. Apologies for typos. On my cell in the car waiting for someone and I forgot my glasses. lol

I said almost the exact same thing to someone the other day. Almost word for word about The Who. One of their "hits" came on the radio and the topic came up. There's several bands I feel that way about. The Who, T-Rex, Steely Dan, The Doors. Even Rush. You have to respect the musicians in Rush, but I just don't get how all these bands got so big. Edited for PhonoBrainer: Yeah, I forgot The Stones. ?

The 250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time By Rolling Stone
Shane_B. replied to kennywtelejazz's topic in The Coffee House
Did I miss John 5 on the list. I read it a few times and didn't see him. He is what I would call a great guitar player. He can play any genre of music. I saw an interview with him one time. He said he grew up watching Hee Haw with his dad and thought the Tele was the only guitar there was, or something along those lines. That's why he plays a Tele now. As much as I don't care for his image, I really think he is a one of the greats. I don't see Roy Clark on there either. The man was amazing on guitar. He played everything from classical to rock to jazz to country. -

Two people in the top 6 shouldn't be that far up there. Were they innovators and pioneers, absolutely, but were they "great guitar players", I dont think so at all. And the first line of #6's story tells you all you need to know about why they are even considered. At that point I knew the article really wasn't about music. Hendrix was amazing at manipulating his guitar, making noise, and playing around in the studio, but that doesnt make you a great guitar player. And definately not #1. And after seeing a lot of concert footage of Page I still don't believe that's the same person on their studio recordings. To me, the true greats are people like from The Wrecking Crew. People like Campbell who have been on so many recordings in almost every genre. But those days are gone now so how do you even approach this subject anymore? I see 25 year olds sitting in their living room in front of a mic playing live on YouTube and Twitch that can play better and sing better than 3/4 of the people on that list. Maybe the list should be called best known guitar players? -

Pro Auduo 9 was when I first jumped in IIRC. I have some pics of my old recording room. Term used loosely. Hah. Back when I lived in Iowa 23 - 24 years ago. The view from my window was amazing. I miss Iowa. I really miss S8.5PE. It was the last truly customizable version of Cakewalk. I wish they would bring it back with the modern features. -

Gear that you DON'T miss or regret having to say farewell to
Shane_B. replied to Rain's topic in The Coffee House
Same here. There always seems to be one tiny little spec buried in the details that's greatly lacking in AMD chips that have a profound effect on their performance. I always had the best performance and stability from Intel CPU's paired with Intel motherboards and Kingston RAM. Can't seem to buy Intel boards anymore so I switched to Asus. The last DAW I built with an ASUS mobo has given me zero trouble and is still faster than I'll ever need for DAW work. I do need to upgrade if I want to get back in to gaming due to my CPU not being 100% compatible with newer video cards thus not being able to fully open them up. Maybe when I win the powerball. -

Fender Mustang modelling amp. I ordered a 2x12 one to try it out because at the time nobody had them in stock. I got suckered in by all the awesome sounding vids and reviews on YouTube. The reason the demos and vids sound so good is there was a LOT of extra processing going on there. Through the 2x12's it sounded like you plugged your guitar in to a dry input on you DAW and were listening through your mixing monitors. It was even worse without any amp modelling activated in the amp and you were trying to just use it as a basic standalone clean amp. I dont know if they have updated them since but my God the first run of those amps was horrible. They bragged up its ability to create your own patches via an app on your cell and control it. That didn't work either. It was a magnificent cluster. All these problems were more than likely the reason nobody had them on the floor, but there were plenty around to order and have there in a day. I have zero regrets returning that and ultimately not buying it.

That doesn't mean I haven't changed my mind about certain people and the topics at hand, for the better. Nothing really gets under my skin anymore and 99.9% of everything "bad" I see here and in life just rolls off my back now. I was thinking of starting a thread like this a while ago but always backed out. Glad you did. And now back to my Blueberry Vodka and some John Barleycorn Must Die.
