OK, this took way too long to get edited and up online. The Rev. sucks. Happy? A full eight freaking weeks ago, we finally were able to do a video interview thingie that we hope will be the first of a bunch. Las Vegas Sound Guy Lunch. We tried this two years ago and crap […]
By Rev. Bill Let this serve as a gentle reminder that every gig counts. In fact, that seemingly insignificant local gig may be the one that’s the mythical “big break.” Mark Woodcock started the way many a career has. Working—often for free—mixing club bands in his native England. He emigrated to the US and was picking […]
For close to 50 years, EARTH WIND & FIRE have been playing to sold-out audiences around the globe with their classic R&B and jazz sound.

One of my favorite series of books ever is a set of Stephen King tomes called The Dark Tower. Written over a nearly 30-year period and published over two decades, the tale of the Gunslinger is influenced in equal parts by a Robert Browning poem, The Lord of the Rings, and Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns […]
Well, they made it pretty hard to post anywhere, but we happen to be pretty clever and know how to look at code and find what we are looking for… Clair has a announced a new speaker series called Cohesion that looks fairly interesting. You can get all of the details on their site here or […]
So far the amount of actual newsworthy stuff coming out of NAMM has been a trickle at best. It’s amazing how much better a perception one can get on the annual gear fest when not in the middle of the noise and dog-and-pony-shows. Up until now the “advances” in dynamic microphone tech have been fairly pedestrian […]
