Pendulum Guitar Phaser

Sometimes I make some crazy suggestions.

But it can’t hurt to do some experimentation, right?

Orange Tiny Terror and Sennheiser 906

Here’s a Les Paul Standard into an Orange Tiny Terror
Sennheiser 906 close mic, slightly off-axis, switch set on high end rolloff
EV 635a swinging from a microphone stand, o yes
Both microphones into a BLA modded Behringer ADA8000
..on into an RME Fireface UFX and Logic
IK Black 76 plugin on the 906, White 2A on the 635
Panned +/- “28″

That’s it

Listen to the Pendulum Sound.MP3 here

EV 635a Pendulum

It’s all because of this thread on Gearslutz.com

Presonus Studio One 2 soundset bug

rick — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 14:32:41 +0000

For one reason or another my machine was put to sleep while Studio One 2 was in the middle of downloading and installing content.

The installations did not finish and now I only get this error when I attempt to install packs from inside the application:

Studio One
Installation Failed!
Unknown Error (/Library/Application Support/Presonus Software)
Unknown Error (/Library/Application Support/Presonus Software/Studio One 2/installhistory.xml)

Downloading packs from the website and installing that way has worked but I’d prefer to leave the machine unattended while it does it’s update thing…

I’ve notified Presonus Support. Let’s see how they do!!!!!!

UPDATE March 9, 2012:
So far no replies from PreSonus. I’m starting to not like this company anymore, at all. I used to love them and spread word about them all of the time… (sigh)

The “new streaming model” sucks the life from musicians

Another round of forcing musicians to be something other than musicians to stay alive…

I understand completely that an entertainer must have associated merchandise and alternative forms of income other than just pure music sales but the extremes of this line of thinking are awful.

FAWM 2012 FAIL – 6

rick — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 17:25:06 +0000

Sorry FAWM, I let you down.

I got damn busy this month and FAWM fell off my priority list.

This is actually a good thing though

So, here is my last FAWM entry for the year.

Andrew Mischo on BeatBox and Whistling. This one is done in Ableton Live.

The title is silly
