It depends what sound you want. If you want that “audience taper” sound, then omnis, but unless you’re experienced, it’s hard not to get too much atmosphere, and not enough main instruments. I certainly couldn’t when I recorded myself that way. Ask Dan for advice if this is the direction you choose. I would place SM57s on the amps, myself. I wouldn’t worry too much about bleed, you’re going to mix it all together in the end. That said, “both” is the choice of professionals. They like to mix some ambience with the close-microphone recordings for “that live sound”. And you certainly have enough microphones to pull it off.

Agreed. I doubt Bentley’s contributions amount to much outside of aesthetics.

Stoner/doom at its best: simple/heavy/dark/catchy

Trump is the equivalent of coal in stockings.

Happy birthday! (party favour noise) 🍰 🎁

I blame Trump.

The hairless cat, so...Sphinx?

Unholy carp!

Plus it comes in black! I will forward the suggestion, thanks!

They were always big Led Zeppelin fans. When I saw them back in the 70's, their pre-show music was Stairway to Heaven. Me, now: Sheik Yerbouti listening party on Discord.

Any of you West Coasters got recommendations for air filters? I know Grm got that car one. Anything for indoors or are the built-in ones adequate? What about masks? Asking for multiple friends and one sister.

I’ve not tried either, but perhaps Ableton?

Yup. Also, I was definitely one of those “male admirers”. RIP Fuck cancer. Fuck 2020.

They should have used “The Red Weed” from Jeff Wayne’s musical adaptation of War of the Worlds.

Have I mentioned how much I love Gunship?

Yes, thanks as always, Todd, and feel free to let me know if there’s anything I can do to help, besides stay out of your way.

Motherfuck fucking 2020!

My black cats who have been stepped on because I mistook them for puddles of shadow beg to differ.
