outta time but I'll give it a listen when I get a chance (soon). Just go buy SOMETHING for shits sake after we do. YOU ARE THINKING TOO HARD.
yeah, seriously, I buy shit all the time that I don't even need and if i don't like it I return it after a few days HAHAHA or in old gear I just put it right back up for sale or trade. But with this whole thing man, i thnk FL will do him fine if like he would just buy it and then the other stuff, if he tries it and hates it then he should return it. A lot of the good big-box online retailers have 15 or 30 day no-questions asked return policies for almost everything. But he's going to like whatever he gets because he ahs no experience of anything else! Or he will hate whatever he gets because even with a neve channel and a U47 he doesn't know how anything works yet anyway LOL
It like a 9 yer old can make all my fancy guitars and highly tuned up vitnage amps sound like shit. I remember when i first got into marshall plexis Iw as an decent player but Iw asn't used to powerful non-master amps and i couldn't ontrol that ebast, took me owning it for years to get it down. i amde it suck all the imte and had to make it my bitch. Recording equipments like that, right?
I think from talking to Nikhil ebfore you were oN EB I remember that I thought his writing and arrangement and tehrefore productions were more of a mess from a lack of decision making then from not knowing the gear. Like his naiivete was less of a problem then like just not being able to decide what he was going to do and just spitting teh difference everywhere. And music is about boldness. What young guys who gos traight into computer based recording and also aren't actually accomplished touring players first don't get is decision making. BOLD decision making. On tape and shit we ahd to decide, right there and print! Options were limited, you ahd to erase a take to do another one unless you had a huge budget.... and like ons tage, you gotta just decide if you're going off scipt or what you'll do to cover a major fuck up someone makes or like the bass amp dies, should you ifnore it or try to make it soemthing cool and aprt of teh song that night while it gets swapped out? Don't stop! just fucking decide, right? And be confident with that shit and live with it.
FUCK those Martins. Only ones I've ever liked are in the bankrupcy price range. I'd take a Gibson, a Guild, or a good Epiphone over a Martin any day.
I pretty much just like oens form teh 30s and I like thos gibsons better too... I mean, i abrely know froma cosutic guitars to be fair. I usually will record with whatever anyone else says good when i am playing on a real project LOL. But whenever I try a enw martin, even like that clapton replica one that costs what a BMW costs I just wanna stop playing it. They all feel clunky and sound clunky even set up for jangly strings or whatever else one might do. And the old ones don't feel clunky to me. Stiff but not clunky. I feel like I cna't get any real music outta msot martins. My uncle ahs a high end martin he loves and while its less clunky than some it still doesn't sound like music to me. Even when he plays it. Although he doesn't usually make any guitars of any type sound too good. He gets music but guitar? He jumped to bass mostly and thank god. He's a guy who made some of my best stuff sound mediocre and lifeless.
