Do you have both yet (Warm and Neumann)? Do they compare? Also, I’m sure you already know this, but some microphones come in matched pairs, just like tubes, for stereo recording.

Voivod—everything from Killing Technology to Infini (from after Piggy started working “Piggy chords” into his music to the last album he contributed to)

I’m a huge fan, thanks for posting. Yes, the influx of “shredders” is his fault, from when he was teaching, but he has a musicality that most of his alumni do not.

What colour?

Eloy, Ocean — prog, weird, good

I know, right? How many more of my favourite ingredients are you going to put in that stew? Unrelated: happy music

Oh, fuck, I’m gonna cum

It so weird. Love it. Plz moar vidz with gratuitous shaky cam. Needs gratuitous fake explosions

Condolences, Todd.

Thanks, shared with my local friends in the music community to keep an eye out, including a Guitar Center employee in the Falls Church location. Was reminded that one of them semi-stalked you for a bit, who was that again?

Probably more like you’d use it:

No, literally mini. It would go on your desk. I have mine set up funny, but it articulates.

I have a “mini boom”, not sure that would work for you...

Billy Cobham, Spectrum — really in the mood for this, fusion in the Zappa style

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

Reminds me of The Sprawl (Gibson), or New Port City (gits).

Chasing the Sound: Major Lazer on YouTube

Cheers to that. Let me know if you want more, I’m full of that stuff. 🤣

Did you ever try Logic? https://www.musicradar.com/news/kylie-minogue-on-teaching-herself-logic-pro-in-lockdown-if-11-year-olds-can-do-this-in-their-bedroom-i-can-figure-this-out

Also, you've seen this, right? He did a concert with a small orchestra! Several of the other tracks from this concert are also up on YouTube, but unfortunately, not all of them. Love is my favourite album of his, so would've loved to have seen "(not adam)".

Brad Mehldau, Finding Gabriel unholy carp, Brad’s wielding a synthesizer and he sounds angry! Nice! I’ve been...schizophrenic in my listening lately, but have started revisiting Legendary Pink Dots and Tear Garden, which were two of the gateways to that whole world of Mimir, H.N.A.S., SPK, Chris and Cosey, et al, and I won’t say it’s hitting the spot, but it’s certainly more cathartic than Camel. Don’t get me wrong, loved Moonmadness, listened to it 6 tines today, but wondering how much more I would have loved it if I was in a more sedate/less ragey frame of mind.

...aka Foetus aka Jim Thirwheel, yes, was.

For drums, you should use specialized drum mics. For electric guitar, there’s nothing wrong with the SM57 (presuming that’s a typo). I’ve also seen the Sennheiser e609, e906, and Rode NTR recommended by professionals. Not Dave, though, he told me to use the SM57. I did get the NTR based on the specific advice from a virtual friend/professional on the PRS forum. I haven’t tried it yet, though. Don’t know about acoustic guitar or piano. Am going to attempt to record piano soon, will bring several mics with me. I will tell you to experiment with mic position. There are times when you want on-axis, and there are times when you want off-axis (from the cone). I’ve also been sorely tempted to get the same setup that NPR music uses, specifically the microphone that features on their tiny desk concerts intro animation, whatever that is. Maybe find a performance video that you admire? E.g. Google “what microphone is that tiny desk”. I know I loved the sound of that Benchmark Masters of their Day series that Justin chased off with his negging.
