Send us a message or question!
Today we discuss:
- Not much guitar news since Summer NAMM is right around the corner.
- Schecter re-releases the Black Ops line with an amazing single humbucker PT model. It comes in 6, 7, and 8 string variants.
- Richard loves Telecasters!
- Boards of Canada is a pretty cool band, and we revisit them.
- Old-school analog recording equipment is back in style! Lots of producers have started trying to emulate tape, and it is pretty cool!
- Recording a band actually playing live, not snapped to the grid, is an experience these days. The BPM changes, and humanity is something unrivaled even today.
Main Topic:
Is using backing tracks live ok? How far should that go? Today we take a look at some bands that tastefully use backing tracks But there are also some serious offenders, and some bands are even miming on stage. But which bands are not actually performing their music?
