[quote name='SteveK' post='276775' date='Sep 4 2008, 10:30 AM']That's common practice - A good producer will be concerning himself with the music. Patch bays and the like are for the engineer to worry about...Engineers engineer and producers produce. At least, that's how it was in the olden days Steve[/quote] Obviously, my point was that Rick Rubin doesn't even touch any faders. He might say to the engineer "I need to hear more bass" or "that guitar sounds crap" but my point is that the description of sounds/musicality is so subjective that without actually sitting there moving faders and trimming pan pots, you're not actually "crafting" the sound. For all we know, Rich Costey (one of Rick's most famous previous engineers) just used the DDA filter all the time.

Every time tayste posts his board I have to walk around at work the whole day with an erection. I should just steer clear of this thread!

I love listening to the sound of albums, the "production" but I think a lot of producers get credit for things they haven't done. I always though Rick Rubin was a master producer, considering the amazing sound on some of the albums he's done, but I read in an interview that he doesn't and has no interest in knowing how to use a mixing desk. He just tells an engineer how he wants it to sound. With the description of sounds being so entirely subjective, I find it hard to beleive that he has been the one actually "crafting" the sound.

Next time tell them you'll buy it if you like it.

Yeh, there are some great live videos on youtube from that period actually.

[quote name='themoo' post='275475' date='Sep 2 2008, 02:52 PM']Spot on Nick... I swapped the one below with André for #147 [/quote] That's my favorite on this thread.

I think the perception of "bum notes" or deviations from a "perfect" rendition of a bassline is a little irrelevant. That quote should be used as advice for players, not for the audience. If you see a player deviating from a bassline, you will never know if he's doing it on purpose. The point is that as a player, you should be able to play a line before you deviate from it, otherwise you are just making a hash of a bassline, whether people think you're amazing for it or not.

Pretty much common sense though isn't it? Everyone knows you need to be able to actually play a bassline before you can mess around with it.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='275648' date='Sep 2 2008, 05:36 PM']I think Deeder only did the first two or three albums, then decided to pack music in and go do human rights work. Shame, although I feel a bit guilty saying that . His solo stuff isn't too hot either. I mean it's alright, but it's not ADF quality. Edit: No he definitely wasn't around in 2003, I think he left in 2000.[/quote] I think this is right, I don't really know the facts. His solo stuff is kind of shoddy reggae isn't it?

Yeh they've have a few different vocalists since then, he left ages ago!

They were amazing with deeder (SP?) as the frontman/rapper. It's a shame he left.

take the back off, find the 4 solder points where the footswitches are attached, solder some long wire on, feed them out the batter case, close it back up. Then just make a board however you want, buy a couple of momentary footswitches from maplins, wire it up, (gordon ramsey voice) DONE!

Fair enough, I suppose i'm very used to it. I used to gig with 23 pedals on my board. I had to change to thinner shoes so I could hit one and not the others! You could make a box to raise the pedal, have the two footswitches seperate (very easy) and further apart and away from the exp pedal? I would draw my idea in paint but it's just going to look stupid.

[quote name='The Funk' post='275342' date='Sep 2 2008, 12:17 PM']Why, thank you! I've had it for 12 years now and wear it at every gig I play. Some people complain if I don't wear the shades with it but sometimes on a dark stage, I just don't want to risk it.[/quote] You don't need the shades, it's the hat that makes it.

[quote name='The Funk' post='275285' date='Sep 2 2008, 11:13 AM']I may as well post one...[/quote] That is a fiendish hat!

[quote name='Galilee' post='275331' date='Sep 2 2008, 12:01 PM']I always accidentally kick the damn pedal and turn my sound right off, so now I make sure it's not assigned at all.... In my own defence, I do sing lead vocal as well, so I can't focus too much attention on controlling effects.[/quote] Do you do it while you're trying to hit the footswitch? Anyway to turn on the tuner you have to press two footswitches as a time, and then the mute is useful obviously.

It's great for muting when on the tuner as well.

Wouldn't it be cool if Dr Das was on BC! He put some great basslines on ADF songs and really seemed to drive the whole band with his playing. Are you here?
