Interviewing potential interns this week! NOTE: If you wear a tie to the interview, I will make you take it off. Yep, that just happened. 11:19 AM May 14th via web
write it, get it, paste it, save it, load it, check it, quick/rewrite it, plug it, play it, burn it, rip it, drag & drop it, zip/unzip it... 8:46 PM May 9th via web
@Chrisstewz Unfortunately, there is no "right" way. You just need to experiment until it sounds "right". Try different fabrics or a tarp. 3:57 PM May 9th via web in reply to Chrisstewz

@_JesseWilliams Distortion Choppers for a new Blastwave FX library. Monitoring at super low volume to save my ears! ; )= 12:17 PM May 7th via web in reply to _JesseWilliams
Fun with distortion. It sounds as cool as it looks! twitter.com/ricviers/statu… 12:12 PM May 7th via Camera on iOS
@Chrisstewz Yep. I usually have a limiter to avoid clipping, but again the philosophy is don't apply anything that you can't undo later. 9:03 AM May 7th via web in reply to Chrisstewz
@Chrisstewz I always record dry. It's hard to undo processes once recorded that way (especially compression). I leave that for post / mix. 8:56 AM May 7th via web in reply to Chrisstewz
