She says "Phill, help, some fat cunt keeps treading on me"

that looks cool! Any sound samples? I was fucking about on my own last night. I absolutely love the sounds i'm getting out of this...
-
Story of your life aye?
-
I remember when I plugged my bass amp into a PC speaker and blew it up by plugging my bass in can't find a picture small enough but I mean one of those tiny speakers inside the case of your PC. I thought it'd be funny but it doesn't work without the pic. You get my pathetic ramblings though...
-
that's some tasty wood. Shame you can't get the "arrows" down the middle of the guitar. I'm sure it'll look great though
-
nice!
-
so sorry to hear that, I hope it was insured!

Well in the process of tidying up, I did actually find some spare electrical parts. I could post them to you for free if you fancy not making some more pedals? And I found an encore neck if you want to not build any guitars?
-
I like it, but it's quite spikey. I use a lot of compression and/or dirt so that doesn't bother me as much as some - some people hate it for the peaks you get. Personally, I think it's funky as fuck.
-
ugh dat floor!! Yeh I just had to bin a couple of cables, the rest is fine. Most of the water was soaked up by some books which are stored in there while my bro's in Australia. I haven't had the balls to tell him yet.
-
yeh I just need to get some sheets to drape over the shit to make it look more tidy, then maybe chuck some stuff on the walls. It's hard to describe from pictures, but before there was a layer of caked dust, probably 1 or 2mm thick on absolutely everything. It was horrible. The room hadn't been cleaned in probably 20 years and used to be used as a pottery studio. I was using a shitty old mixer, cables everywhere etc. Now I have my mackie set up with better cables, got rid of most of the dust, put carpets in and a settee etc... It's so much nicer now. I realise no-one here gives a shit but I'm well chuffed

I can see them. Anyway, they're here: http://creepjoint.co.uk/studio1.jpg http://creepjoint.co.uk/studio2.jpg http://creepjoint.co.uk/pedlols.jpg

hoping to get better pics soon, but this is my studio, post flood. We spent a weekend in there drinking and mopping and stealing carpet from a bin.
-
maybe. Or maybe I overloaded myself perving on pictures of gear and started to look past the gear into the floors of beauty. Honestly I wish i'd never heard a musical note in my life and just laid wooden floors for a living.
-
dude, no more links like that, I don't need a hard-on at work No idea when it started
-
If he uses that for his floor boards imagine what woods his guitars are made of! If that was my floor there wouldn't be a day that went by without cock-splinters.
-
nice floor! Where is that?
-
That senn mic is pretty bright IMO so maybe try it further away from the centre Got any more pics? I have a thing for birds. Does it talk?
-
Who's the bird?

Gain staging innit. You have to keep playing with the gain at each stage until it's all working together, including the speaker, and I don't think there are any set rules. [offensivelystupidquestion]You are remembering to pull back the pre-amp gain on the mic when you push the master volume right?[/offensivelystupidquestion] It looks like you could mount a small boom arm in there for a 57 but it's not very clear from the pic how much depth there is infront of the speaker. Anyway, that's a really cool tool, i'd love one for home use. Fortunately where I record, I get to whack the amps up.
-
I'll give that a listen later Deffinitely experiment with the distance from the speaker. Sometimes I want it right up against the cone, other times I might even have it 6 inches away, depending on what we're after. Also, mixing a close mic with a room mic can work wonderfully, if you remember to measure for phase
-
yeh those headphones are cool. I just find it very very hard to position a mic if I can hear a load of the amp, rather than just hearing what comes through the mic. Those headphones aren't 100% effective, but they're better than any others i've tried. I have an e609 and it's nice, but I do prefer 57s. I think a lot of the problem comes from the difference between a great guitar sound solo'd, and a great guitar sound in the mix. For example, you might like the chunkiness of the mic quite far away from the centre, but in the mix it just doesn't have that sparkle you need for it to cut through.
-
James, you should be able to get some great sounds with that set up. Get a guitar tone you like in the room, then get some well isolated headphones (I like the Vic Firth drummer ones) and monitor your mic, keep moving it around until it sounds bad ass!
-
In that case I whole heartedly apologise for what was offensive and frankly almost sickening behaviour. I shall defenestrate myself post haste
-
are you joking?
