This is a nice educational blog. What is kind of coincidental and freaky about this is that Levon Helm actually ATTENDED Berklee in the mid 70′s, and occasionally brought some of the other members of the Band in to audit the class. It was Les Harris Sr.’s arranging class. I can get various people to verify this for you, but I know at least Larry Bethune was teaching classes around that time.

Comment on Slide Guitar, Ya Heard? by John Lucchetti

Mark,
Great job on this post. I’ve been wanting to play slide guitar for a long time and this has really got me excited. Every time I hear Derek Trucks, The Campbell Brothers or anyone else playing so vocally, I’m drawn to it like no other sound. Your blog post really made my week!

Comment on To Compress or Not to Compress? (Orchestral and Film Music) by Chris roberts

It is true, that compression can be over used,
considering that when we play live its less or rarely used, and dynamics are one of the key elements that keeps our audience interested and attentive on what we create The master mix compression in my DAW auto compresses everything,
I will now explore it in detail as well as volume and pan automation to help the dynamics.

This is absolutely perfect not just for recording but for blowing down the walls, in a non-nuclear kinda way…

Thanks,

I like your idea. It really works well. I made a more “bootleg” version using a cardboard box and some foam bed padding. It was hard to find a way to mount it but it achieved the results I needed. I think I’ll try mounting it to a wall like you recommended. Thanks for this post!

This is the best post ever! Most relevant for me, anyway, because I really do like to be able to move around and now I have an idea of how to make the world around me quiet as I go through it, mic. always at the ready. Thank you!
