  1. Are you rehearsing the bongs part' date=' the booze part, or the damn good tunes part? And what, exactly, makes it a "formal" rehearsal? Ball gowns and tuxedos? Aloha, Brad[/quote'] The only time formal played into things was Tim's timely entrance. I was using that term very loosely, fluid even. There's a rumour going around that Harvard Mouse doesn't practice. We're just keeping the mill running Such a night! It was great to be apart of the festivities on Sat. I didn't win anything though. But like OLG "you can't win if you don't play", I totally blipped on getting my tickets once inside.
  2. I was wondering where Jerry was going to be sitting, waiting for the tide to flow, now that they've shut the door.
  3. bump and grind..hoping to get out there later after some very formal rehersal
  4. Heard a good one the other day ... Q - "What is the definition of perfect pitch?" A - "An accordion lobbed into a dumpster that lands directly on a trombone." As far as the appreciation it has to be some of the courty artists like Merle Haggard, Marty Robbins and other things like The Tiahjuana(sp) Brass or of course Roger Whitaker. My dad listened to alot of that stuff. My mom, being younger by years, was more into the standard 70's rock and pop of the time.
  5. Been outside seems like since yesterday morning. I'm definitely soaking up some of that sun's energy and its being channelled striaght through me and into spring type cleaning and clearing; a list of todoos a mile long is now just a kilometer. Here's to more of that sweet sunshine! Glug glug glug

  12. A lot of good points here for sure. Trouble is all audiences differ somewhat. It's hard to maintain so many avenues of traffic for your material. People will want the same delivery system over and over again once hooked. Sounds a little like an addiction but that's what any content provider really wants right?

  15. Hey Paan, I remember talking about this with tungsten a while back. What I did in my addition basement (I think you've been over once or twice) was to try and dampen the sound as you say. Total sound proofing is near impossible especially for a bass player huh? I know what you mean about the cost factor. Any sort of special rubber matting is pricey so I used rolled roofing. I don't recommend it now though. Its very messy to work with and you need to completely cover it afterwords with some other type of barrier like those 2' by 4' drop ceiling panels. These panels act to catch the mid to highs. The idea behind the roofing is that you need something with a very high density (weight), yet porosity (like those pricey mats) to absorb the low end frequencies. This kind of barrier traps them from getting out of the room. Another factor is always how much sound gets into the room from outside, when you go to record and the neighbors dog starts barking incessantly every time you hit the rec button. There are some resources availble through a quick search under 'soundproofing' that detail haow to build secondary interior walls with this stuff built in to it. This idea is that you leave a dead air space between the walls wich will capture the waves and disprse with in the gap. good luck and let me know how it goes dude!
