You want random notes that don't make sense to anyone but me? I can give you those. I visited a studio recently. They had a pretty complete preamp collection -- including 8 channels of API, some Great River, even a pair of the same Neve 1272's by Brent Averill that I have. Funny thing was that their monitors were those Mackie Genelec knockoffs and a pair of the "new" Yamaha NS10's. Which, you know, is so not how I'd go about outfitting the end of an otherwise class-A signal chain.
But you know, that's just me. I'm still going back-and-forth in my own head about whether to separately mic the toms or not. Maybe we should just do it and I'll complain about it later? I think that perhaps my biggest complaint is the rattling of snares whenever any other freakin' drum is hit. Why can't the snares just shut up when the kick is smacked? Sheesh. ++++ Preamp list 1. Aphex L 2. Aphex R 3. Lindell L 4. Lindell R 5. Neve 1 6. Neve 2 7. Neve 3 8. Neve 4
Er, so if that's Kick, snare, OH L, OH R, Tom1 and Tom2... that's six channels right there. So guitar, guitar, bass... that's nine channels altogether. If we add an adjunct bass then we're staring down the throat of 10 tracks. Is there a portastudio-like thing that'll record 12 tracks?

We still need editors. I just put up a new Craigslist ad. It'll get flagged because there are a lot of malicious flaggers on Craigslist and there's nothing to do about them.
Video editor for feature (no pay) (TriBeCa)
This is a non-paid position. We're looking for someone who is willing to work on a feature for the experience and credit. So this is for someone just out of (or still in) school or who wants to be more comfortable working in Final Cut. We're in the middle of shooting our 11th science-fiction feature. We need someone to help with editing the movie in Final Cut Pro 7. Our website is www.pandoramachine.com Here are some stills from the movie: (scroll down) http://blog.pandoramachine.com/search/label/1301 If you're interested, please contact us. The time commitment will be whatever you like to do all or part of the edit. Thanks!
it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
This week we played a 40-minute jam I named "Chimerical Weathervane". Yes, this will have to be edited down considerably. And mixed (because right now it's all over the place). But basically this is what we sound like.
As far as I can tell there are only three PADI dive schools in New York City. I think that Pan Aqua is the most convenient one for me. The joke is that everyone does their "open water" dive at Dutch Springs PA. (And if you find that "open water" is an ironic term for a dive in a quarry, well, join the club right there buddy.)
Four words for you: Hickory Run Boulder Field.
Word on the street is that Blue Ribbon has the best collard greens. We. Shall. See.
Joe Chapman says:
Scubapro Aladdin 2G Dive Computer (although I believe he means the wrist-band version).
Also the Oceanic Vortex V16 fins (make sure to get the kind with the spring heel.)
I would be a better photographer if I could only remember f1.4 f2.0 f2.8 f4.0 f5.6 (then 8, 11, 16, 22). I always have trouble remembering that f2 is the next whole stop up from 1.4. There's no excuse for me to not have these numbers in my head.
Rebecca Kush, ladies and gentlemen:
"Fixing Joe" is a new web series. I totally want Rebecca to come to my doctor's appointments. Here's part II: And part III: Rebecca looks great in glasses!
So. I think City Samanas accidentally made an album. I really like it. Maybe there should be some interstitial, maybe some things could be edited down, maybe a bit of tasteful mastering, but it's a cool album.
Eric Clapton's guitar in While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Isolated. I am unnecessarily amused by a television commercial.

As it turns out, diatoms are psychedelic.
