Dave's not here.

Tim, I don't know Mark F. Got a link? Leadfoot, I was born in '57, like the '57 Chevy. One of us is a classic, the other is just an antique. Thanks for listening!

Today marks 5 years since my brother Mike died, just 2 weeks shy of his 58th birthday. Being just 11 months difference in age, we grew up playing music together and he taught me a lot about playing guitar and music in general. I thought I would post his one and only original, recorded song again as a small tribute and memorial. Going Home Crazy

I love a good sentimental ballad. ? It's cool that you got AC/DC to record it for you, too. It rocks!

I've been at Atlantic Beach, NC all week. Preparing to return to the grind. Back to work tomorrow!

It's all about the bass.

Tax pros add (sum) things up by April 15, in the spring.

Thanks for all the info. I'll certainly try to apply some of these tips in my next muddied bass project. I will see what I can do to this current project, too. As for a reference track, this isn't the kind of music I normally do; I was having some problems completing songs, and when I was watching The Bourne Supremacy and the Russian mob henchman went into the Moscow disco to inform the hit man that he missed his target, there was an EDM thing playing loudly. I thought, "it can't be that hard to make something like that". It's all hard.

Very zen.. The 'perfection' is in the playing of it, not the recording of it.

Maybe Esther is happy because someone discovered the contents of 'that' folder.

Happy Anniversary! What's the proper gift for the 13th? Alembic?

Thanks, all. I should have mentioned that this is an EDM piece with no traditional bass, just synth sounds. In the Songs forum. Way out of my usual guitar/bass/keys/drums thing. A poster wrote that the bass needs unmuddying, so I'm going to attempt to clean it up, as well as bringing the drums up in the mix. Appreciate your time and advice.

Yesterday would have been his birthday. RIP Maurice. Show Jimi how to properly set up his whammy bar.

Is there some magic formula or EQ preset that will get me started? Due to some hearing loss, just about everything sounds bassy to me, so I'm not sure I could hear the difference if I applied some EQ or otherwise processed a track. I recorded the song in SHS 6 XL then imported the .wav into CbB for mp3 mixdown, but I don't know if I have the proper turd-polishing gear. Advice, links appreciated. I know the topic of equalization has been discussed ad infinitum on these forums, but because of the aforementioned bad hearing, I've pretty much skimmed the posts, thinking I can't do anything about it. Thanks!

I did that the other day only to discover that SoundClick now accepts waves. ?

The squirrels are randy today.

One of the crew of Jeopardy has the last name Thapthipthong.

You got married on 4/20? What, were you drunk? Anyway, congratulations, and can you pick up some Swedish Fish for me while you're there?

Thanks. Not as bad as I thought it was. The ears won't get any better, unfortunately. At least not without some sort of electronic aid.

Link?

I was talking with my cousin Smokey and brother Steve a few months ago. I thought I had too many guitars (5, including a bass). Steve says he has 12. Smokey, ~25. I guess I have some catching up to do. Steve is trying to acquire every type of guitar that the Beatles used, or a copy thereof.

Just playing around with my keyboard, arpeggiator and pattern brush tool. First 'song' in several years. I have been having a bad time with my ears lately. Everything sounds bassy. Is it? https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13866482

I went to the local pawn shop with my friend Ann so she could pay off a loan. Sometimes I hate going to these places. They make me spend money. I've always wanted a 335-style guitar, or the smaller 339. So what do they have hanging on the wall? An Epiphone ES-335 with humbuckers right next to an Epi ES-339 with P90s. At decent prices, too. I didn't have time to play them because we had other thing to do, but they both looked straight and clean. As we were leaving, one of the clerks said, "you know we have layaway, right?" GAS strikes again. I already have enough guitars! Said no one ever.

Field peas and snaps. Mmmm.

Diner: Waiter, there's a fly in my soup. Waiter: Impossible, sir. We used them all in the raisin bread.
