listening back to muse/killers/vintage 70s
i was hit with some inspiration.
—
most modern music/bands have the drum kit individually mic-ed up
ie: kick, snare, hat, tom1, tom2, tom3, and overhead condensers.
well for mainstream music (what little i listen to) you would hear that the kit is panned center and mixed directly to the stereo main output, or in certain cases, mixed mono to the group faders (with bass for some stupid reason) and out into the stereo mains.
now how about mixing it such that the snare kick and hat are panned center, and tom1 tom2 and tom3 panned from left to right in succession such that when the drummer-boy does a roll, it will sound as if it is actually “rolling” from left to right. also when the drummer-boy decides to do some cool tom-work, it would sound much more interesting rather than remaining static in the center stereo/mono mix.
well, some people insist they know best, so….
BUT IT DOESN’T MATTER
SO many drummers can’t keep time for nuts,.
this is to address some idiots that think that handsfree mics are better than your run-of-the-mill wireless, MIND YOU THERE IS A VERY HUGE DIFFERENCE HERE.
handsfree – mainly drama/speaking
wireless – on a stand, usually for more emphatic speakers, AND MUSICIANS.
now, if you’re stupid and still dont understand why, a handsfrees usually have a driver this – big. less driver space, less electric signals, more information loss. not to mention the insanely weak signal that would be a nightmare balancing with a 7 piece band.
the wireless is the direct opposite of that, 48V phantom that makes the techie alot happier with the reduced signal loss. ALOT happier. if the pros can sing with a mic-stand there’s no reason why you cannot.
now, who thinks a solid-state is better than tube amps? i really don’t know who. solid-states do have their advantages, only with seriously RETARDED people who plug keyboards into electric guitar amps, or acoustics. now apart from the stupidity of potential mis-use of tube amps, and the bi-annual need to change tubes (not even done by yourself)
give me another disadvantage.
finally, the title of MUSIC DIRECTOR does come with responsibilities, and more importantly, ability.
so what is the most defining factor of 6/8 time signatures? uhh, uhh uhh…….
so what is the role of a guitarist in the band? don’t make too much noise
so what is the role of a keyboardist in the band? SHREEDDDDDDDDDDDDD OH YEAH KEYBOARD SHRED.
so what is the latest trend in christian music? SHREEDDDDDDDDDDDDD OH YEAH KEYBOARD SHRED.
i’m sure alot of people support me on this.
well, at least i’ve to deal with such “music directors”, and people who don’t know squat about music.
well thank you Old Man, for making me such a lousy and crappy guitarist who is so damn critical about music.

so what is the latest hillsong album to hit the market? To The Ends of The Earth, definitely, i mean, First Love.
i apologize for the great amount of spite.
