Things I do: Build recording studios, play bass, record music, raise teenagers, punch Nazis, avoid gardening, read books, play games, support LFC, swear a lot.

Things I don’t do: Fascism, racism, sexism, a bunch of other fucking “isms”, vote tory.
You can do a special copy and paste on a track or channel that includes all the automation and plug-in settings, but that will only work if you’ve been using a common template mix for everything else. Useful if you have common guitar or bass signal chains on an album mix, otherwise not so much.

the position of the overhead is what counts, a drummer will tune and balance the kit sitting behind it, putting a mic where the drummer is usually works well enough. Niel Peart used to strap PZMs to his chest…

Obvs, one in the kick, one overhead or in the room, depending on the sound of the room.

Can’t really employ Glyn Johns method without a third mic, but experimenting with the position of the overhead and not getting too close to the kick should get you started.

It’s never “all bad”, the telegraph and their lying chums would have you believe this country is a sewer, worse than at any time in history, it’s a platform the Fag-ash Fuhrer will be running on. It’s simply not true, but it suits their agendas.

Brentford Nylons…! I had sky blue and they used to give me the most horrendous static shocks when I got out of bed.

61, I remember it very well indeed, but then I don’t drink and I remember what happened at uni in the early 80s…

Black snot after a journey on the underground, grimly collars, you could see the dirt in the shower water…. Everything stank of fags.

Fine work sir.

Did Major Dan feel like a step too far?

Go well you Redmen, may you genuinely never walk alone, you’ll just have to walk without me from now on. #LFC #YNWA

55 years I’ve supported Liverpool, through the glory of the 70s and 80s, the 20 year slump and the beautiful resurgence under Yurgen Klopp, and I’ll miss all of that, and what’s to come, good or bad, but I’ll not be buying into the machine anymore. The game is not what it used to be. #LFC #YNWA

When the big money moved in, the beauty moved out, there’s way too much at stake to allow mere players and the chaos of 90 minutes on the park to affect the outcome. I cannot, in good faith, give my time and money to a sport that is so corrupt, so utterly bought and sold. #LFC #YNWA

I want it removed, or redesigned with independence from the PGMOL, proper accountability and some measure of transparency. This, of course will never happen, as the money demands the results it needs. There is no fairness left in professional football, the game is over. #LFC #YNWA

In the hands of a small group of unaccountable, deeply human men, with all the biases and emotional investment we all have in the teams and the game, VAR is too powerful and too easy to manipulate, which, I suspect, is the whole point. #LFC #YNWA

I have felt, for the last 2 or 3 seasons, that the flow of money in the game has finally got its demand for control of results, the system is designed to be abused and can, quite easily, change the course of a game, a competition, a league. #LFC #YNWA

The game at 1-1 midway in the first half is a completely different proposition. That’s not to say we’d have won it, I don’t think we played well enough for that, but the massive sense of injustice felt amongst our fan-base and those of other teams is genuinely ruining the enjoyment. #LFC #YNWA
