Ya... I have talked to Bob before and he knows his way around these beasts. I'm glad it'll be going to a good home.

We'll just say I kept if safe for awhile.

I'm gonna go through the emails one by one. Bob Simmons was the first to get an email in.

Thanks for all the interest.

Ben

I picked up a miller off craigslist awhile ago.

Here is the thread I posted about it.

I know I paid $50 for it but I'd l ...

You wanna hear some great ZZ with some great steel check out the hidden track on mescelaro. Dugmore playing "as time goes by" gibbons doing his thing over it. It is amazing. That whole re ...

Everyone I know was going to wait for 8.1. Don't remember who tried it first but the domino effect was quick.

I am loving 8... very minor issues. No more buggy than any other version.

It is all about what you are most comfortable doing and how YOU work best.

I can mix better in the box. I grew up mixing in the box. One of the very few times I mixed on a console, Duane Eddy was ...

My buddies cite "blow" as the reason they made all of those tinny sounding records.

Ya... doesn't sound like there is anything you could do to fix it... the beef is with the engineer.

Try replacing that before you replace anything else.

Sennheiser 421 or a shure sm57 for me.

I can't believe I don't know this off of the top of my head but does the master fader start at 0db and go down or at the top is it 12db?

If it is +12db you are adding 12db to the overall level. Th ...

No good or cheap way of doing this. I spent a grand on lumbar to make my last isolation box... it weighs 750 lbs.

DON'T go buy Aurolex foam or any foam padding. It won't help one bit. That stuff ...

I think if Paul Franklin quit today, the A team would probably be Mike Johnson, Dan Dugmore, Tommy Detamore and Russ Pahl.

That is the A-Team minus a few.

I never ever, ever worry about outboard clocks. When I go to a studio that has outboard clock I always ask to use the converters internal clocks. I can't tell you the problems I have run into becaus ...

Thanks Ben...

But I gotta say if you've been working with Dan Baird it might be a minor miracle if you can still hear at all...! Cool

Are you talking about how loud he plays or how loud he talks ...

As 99% recording engineer and 1% steel player I gotta give the big thumbs up to Pete. He nailed it.

If it is a full tracking session you can't believe how many things I have to worry about. So wh ...

I used to play along to movie soundtracks learning most instruments. Unfortunately my steel is at the studio. I do put iTunes on random and try and play along. The only problem is every time I do t ...

We all used borrowed Stramp amplification on the day - I found them a bit clean-sounding, but Duane seemed to have no problem sounding exactly like Duane!!!

Wow!!! I am working under the gun today... lots of stuff to do. It was worth the seventeen minutes!!

Wow.

Danny...

The keyboard is a M-Audio Keystation 49. It is just a controller... no sounds. I USB it to my laptop and run MOTU Electric Keys for Rhodes, Wurly and B3 and Kontakt to trigger my sampled ...

I have seen Dan use the visual sound on steel. I have also seen him use a Ernie Ball VP Jr. and a Hilton I think... even a bigsby(?) a time or two. I think he just grabs whatever is closest. If you ...

This is a good deal. Wish I had the cash.

So... I am playing utility for my friends band. Couldn't figure out a good way to make my stage footprint smaller. As it is I have an electric, steel, lap, banjo, mandolin and a keyboard. Thought i ...

So I am gonna do it!! After much consideration I am going to start off by cleaning her up, getting some legs, and start off with getting two or three pedals working.
