I remember a time when there used to be some really good clockradios out there, and I'm talking about clockradios that had great features.
You've seen my top 5 electric guitar myths. Well, this one strictly concentrates on electric guitar maintenance. I've seen a lot of stupid stuff concerning how you should take care of an electric, and these are the top 5 stupid things I've seen over the years.
Above is a photo sent to me by a friend who lives in Connecticut.
More often than not it's true your very first electric guitar probably had a neck with 22 frets on it, which allows for three octaves of the key of D (low D, D and high D).
I play some guitar (on my Squier Strat) using some very "washy" reverb.
There's are right and wrong ways to record reverb. I'm not saying my way is the absolute method you should use to record an electric guitar with washy reverb, but chances are it will work for you.
Beverly Hills Cop was a movie released December 1984 and it made a lot of money. Actually, that's not accurate. It made a ton of money. The budget was an estimated 14 million, and in the opening weekend in the US it made 15.2 million, and had gross worldwide sales of - get this - 316.3 million. Yeah, this movie made a ton of dough. In fact, it was the highest grossing movie of 1984.
It's normally a really bad idea to bring politics into music because the two just don't mix. However, this time it matters and you'll understand why in just a moment.
If you like conspiracy theory inspired movies, then this film is definitely one you should watch.
I'm pretty sure any pro-audio guy who reads this is going to be thoroughly disgusted because the method described below uses old-school tech. But it works and it can be done very cheaply. And yes, I mean CHEAP. Not "inexpensive". I mean cheap, as in stuff-you'd-find-at-a-garage-sale cheap.
I've been a Garmin GPS user since 2005, so believe me when I say that I know my way around a GPS. The current unit I own is the nuvi 40LM model. The "LM" by the way means "Lifetime Maps", so when buying a Garmin GPS, always get one that has "LM" in its model name so you don't have to pay for map upgrades.
