This is the second day running that I have had to seriously restrain myself from breaking down into fits of laughter and drawing the attention of the entire office to the fact that I am looking at soulstrut and not finishing my 6-month workplan!
I hear another war. I need to get off this site, this magazine was the only revenge I could get back at to all those haters. Well I suggest I GETTHEFUCKOFFTHISSITE before like someone like madlib comes on and I piss him off. Ill go on in a couple years when I am Next Level like allofyall.
are you finally done replying now? We got the point.
I have been at this for 4 months and have already been in a magazine, I guess I fail and I am just "a 15 year old". Sorry gize.
shit, MAN, i was all over newspapers, radio, and shit when i was 6 years old. and by the time i was 15, i was on the road leading my own jazz quartet. and this was before samping(sic), we actually had to play that shit on actual instruments -- i'm 66 now, and i'm still learning how to put music together.
sure, your instrument, (records, samper(sic), and your other gear is an actual instrument that has been used by lots and lots of extremely talented people, and has a history of development that if you don't learn, you will be cursed to repeat.
no matter how much of a bitch, how much of a talent, how much desire... you have, learning and getting better is a daily process that never ends.

incredible stuff Monty. much respect.
as a drummer for close to 20 years now, i can never get enough of the live sessions, arrangements and performances. that is definitely where the art form is and in my opinion will never get old. i mean just finding the right way to mic drums can take a lifetime to learn.
here's a little setup from a couple days ago: what do you think of the micing techniques? also have two AKG 414's as over heads with an ORTF setup with DPA's in the back. holler atcha boy Juan Covas!
yeah, in the 24trk 1970s we had to close-mic everything or we wouldn't be doing our job. the problem is phasing with all those mics leaking into each other. the best drum sound i ever got was a mic in the kick, and stereo overheads aimed at the snare, (not ORTF) - three mics - no phasing problems, sounded real and hot... perfect balance of the hat, toms, snare, cymbals. perfect stereo image... incredible. (you need distance or isolation from other instruments to do that of course, and people are going to think you don't know what the fuck you're doing)

knowledge dropped (from a another drummer). The only reason I checked this thread is because I saw monty was the last to post.

yeah phasing was an issue on two instances but once we flipped the polarity on the effected channels, things were cool. come to think of it, we also had a MS Setup where we duplicated one of the channels then flipped the polarity then brought up the center channel on top of the left and right to widen the room sound out. definitely sounded better than the ORTF. seems like it's a good technique for that big room, minimal mics sound.
but I'm biased because lately I've been trying really hard NOT to add drums to my shit. Its hard. After a few bars it feels like the drums are supposed to drop. how do i say no?

soulstrut should take supertaoster and shape him into a well lubed diggin upandcomer. i can see the reality show now.
ps. I copyrighted the script for this already, so dont even think about it.

naw, Super just sent me a nice PM -- full of humility.
