Happy birthday! Maybe drink some extra special wine on this anniversary of your expulsion from yo mama’s uterus? (party favour noise)

Porcupine Tree, Nil Recurring , The Incident, and Fear of a Blank Planet all on Tidal (recently added within the last 48 hours).

Nice collection!

Oh. 😐 So wouldn’t you just mic their mouth holes? 😬

Wouldn’t it be the same? Just a mic in front of the cone and then fine tune it to taste? (Some prefer on-axis, some prefer off-)

By the way, a friend posted about this, saying it was road-tested and a brilliant design: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SpiderProBK--k-and-m-spider-pro-black

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!
