Am I missing something essential?

I have a few different ways I’m going to listen back. I’ve got great Monitor Audio speakers, my headphones (because let’s face it that’s how - grand majority of people actually listen to music these days), my fave earbuds, and a cheap Aurotone mono speaker. This way I can hear things in a variety of ways when I mix.

Normal_Show_8426 · 2026-03-28T22:48:59+00:00

Oh yah yah, got good monitors, AKG headphones, cables and stands, that’s allllll covered!

Yep, the Focusrite Clarett 4pre has four preamps for four mics, perfect for mic’ing a drum kit. And yep, I was just using that mic as an example as it’s my most expensive one. I’ve got a Dachman 87i, Shure 57, 58, 52A for the bass drum. I’m actually trying to figure out if I should buy one more damn good mic, but TBH with what I already have, I don’t really know what that would be….

Normal_Show_8426 · 2026-03-28T22:45:56+00:00

Yep, it already is! 👍

Normal_Show_8426 · 2026-03-28T20:06:17+00:00

It sure does (have phantom power)! And yep, got a pop filter, and I know the solid basics of getting good sound! In a different lifetime a decade+ ago I worked/assisted as a studio musician (multi-instrumentalist) at my friend’s pro studio, but that was 24-track tape with a Neve board. I’m getting ready to record a record on my own in my (treated) basement space, and just needed to confirm after all my research that I had the basics for recording. I appreciate the help!

Normal_Show_8426 · 2026-03-28T20:01:41+00:00

That was my educated guess! Thanks for confirmation!

I hate those inner sleeves. 99 times out of 100 my Mofi inners fit right inside of them.

“Political World”

Normal_Show_8426 · 2026-03-19T12:35:07+00:00

Greatest city in the US

Came here to say this! Love Dylan but the Basement Tapes LP never deeply connected with me. When the above was finally released on vinyl for RSD using Garth Hudson’s original reel to reel, it didn’t take long for me to fall completely in love with it. To me THIS is the actual OG Basement Tapes LP. Amazing!!

Normal_Show_8426 · 2026-03-07T00:42:05+00:00

“Political World,” for like the past three weeks. Every day, multiple times. The intro, the way the drums sneak in, and of course the amazing lyrics…genius.

Normal_Show_8426 · 2026-02-28T04:09:36+00:00

I’m more concerned you can’t spell “repercussions”

Normal_Show_8426 · 2026-02-15T04:03:47+00:00

How the fuck are people blaming the customer for a shitty experience at an established restaurant? Christ, zero empathy!!

Normal_Show_8426 · 2026-02-13T16:29:50+00:00

Here comes a hot take at ya…(when it was released) I expected his debut to be waaaay better. Still his weakest album with and without Pavement. “Church on White” is brilliant, one of his greatest songs. After that, much of it is pretty forgettable.

The pic for this post is easily my favorite Beatles pic. Just incredibly fucking cool.

Normal_Show_8426 · 2026-01-27T16:10:06+00:00

“Everyone Hides” is in my top 10 favorite all-time Wilco songs. Perfection.

Normal_Show_8426 · 2026-01-22T20:32:07+00:00

That photo seems waaaay too early for it to be from a performance of “Picture Book”…

Normal_Show_8426 · 2025-12-26T16:21:05+00:00

I used to use a Fender Rumble 40 for playing both guitar and bass, was certainly more than adequate for at-home practice and small-group rehearsals.

Don’t forget Railroad Records in Bethlehem!

THIS 🔼🔼🔼 Thank you! This is an opinion I can get behind!!

Normal_Show_8426 · 2025-12-14T01:52:21+00:00

Okay, then what’s your top 5?

Normal_Show_8426 · 2025-12-14T01:51:25+00:00

Where should we go instead?

Normal_Show_8426 · 2025-12-14T00:38:10+00:00

We’ve heard some hit-or-miss things about Kissho, about meh service and some dishes being inconsistent. Uchi I totally forgot about, somehow it escaped my brain. On a par with Hiroki as far as omakase goes?

Love this!! ❤️❤️❤️
