cheap link to another blog

This week's blog is a cheap link to another blog:

It matters because it talks about the new Slash record, which, besides using a new Bock mic (not yet released to the general public), it emphasizes a real back to basics approach to making a rock record, which I endorse 100%. It's a band in a room, with chemistry, who edit by playing the song (yes you jazz guys & gals are already bored) together. That's a big deal these days, and we look forward to the final product. Eric and the band took their time to find the perfect matches of mics to instruments in a bleed-heavy environment, and kept the number of mics to  a minimum. Remember, these guys have the resources to pick ANYTHING THEY WANT, vintage, new, obscure & common. Eric played me the track you see Slash playing in the photo (nylon string, the softer side of Slash) and it is superb. The recording has all of the body you would feel if you were playing the guitar yourself, and all of the articulation you would hear if you were in front of the instrument.
More on that mic at a later date, now, time to complete preparations for our little show in NYC this Saturday, here is a link to the event:

If you are in NYC please register and I would love to meet and talk with you.
