(By the way, I have a pretty interesting John and Yoko story from my high school English teacher in Japan that I'll have to tell you sometime.) But I really, really like this cover of it. Fantastic work as usual. I'd love to talk mastering techniques with you at some point if you'd like, Jim. In the meanwhile, allow me to highly recommend Bob Katz's book "Mastering Audio: The Art and the Science." I was never a real big fan of the original “Imagine”.

Or, at least, we need to familiarize ourselves with the etymology of the phrase "expletive deleted." Anyway, glad you made it in. Jim: The world needs more expletives, no?

Anyway, glad you made it in.

And special thanks to YOU for sponsoring the event. *For those that missed it, a film crew taped the entire performance. I'm expecting we'll have a finalized concert video by the end of November, courtesy of the Grand Vizier of the Maplewood House (longtime Detholz! lair), Steve Niketopoulos. 'Bab: Bummer. "Get well, get well soon, we want YOU to get well." AIP: Much obliged! Phil: Excellent question! In large part, I have learned how to make canned drums sound more convincing via layering and effects. Also, it helps to know how to use a compressor properly, which I didn't at the time. Furthermore, my current project is to learn how master a recording convincingly. I still have a long way to go, but the little I've picked up has vastly improved the quality of my home recordings. Viva la Steinberg Wavelab! I don't know how I survived so long without it. Of all of the "home recordists" that I know, I'm most impressed with the drum sounds of All City Affairs (Peter Andreadis, drummer for my other band, Baby Teeth). He samples his own drum set piece by piece, then layers the sounds with canned kits from Reason, Battery, etc. I think his production is top-notch.
