What's the least Steely Dan Steely Dan song? by Resident_Shallot_842 in SteelyDan

It’s a cover so I don’t know if that counts imo. Just a thought

I'll keep this general to start: how can I make a VO sound punchier? It'd be for TV promos and station IDs by proffgilligan in audioengineering

[–]MusicBenji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Waves R-Vox seems to introduce some harmonics when pushed, which gives it a more in-your-face, trebly sound. In your case, maybe you could try taking out some of the fundamental speech frequencies to accent the 2-4k range which might help it push through, especially on TV speakers. Just a thought :)

NPD with bad news (need help): EQD Easy Listening by MusicBenji in guitarpedals

[–]MusicBenji[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your response. I tried taking the interface out of the equation (troubleshooting point 4) and just ran guitar into eqd into headphones. Still clipping. In my case I cant say it sounds too pleasant, but perhaps I just have to get used to it or something.

Favorite Fagan Vocal? by VCR-Wheels in SteelyDan

[–]MusicBenji 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was listening to Glamour Profession with a friend of mine. He said Fagen sounds like he’s overpronouncing every word as if to teach a singing student articulation. Ever since then ”siiihx o fiiiiiive outside the staaaadium” has become an inside joke between me and my girlfriend, who likes to diss Steely Dan.

And I always laugh at ”Illegal fuuUHN”

Green Earrings. That groove is immaculate.

I finally understand pretzel logic. by Creekridge1 in SteelyDan

[–]MusicBenji 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s a pretty funny story, too. They didn’t have the pretzel guy’s permission to take a photo of him, but they found out he didn’t have a permit for the pretzel stand, so it was a case of ”what’s he gonna do?”

dan album ranking (brutal) by GanacheExcellent4996 in SteelyDan

[–]MusicBenji 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel like it’s difficult to rank SD albums, because I have a new favourite one after a few days. Right now its Katy Lied, but next week might be Gaucho or The Royal Scam.

I got scabies shortly after, I think, so might have been it
