LOL. Find me a lapel mic that sounds like an EVRE20 and I'm sold! Cheers mate.

just a few:

- don´t invite a recorder player as a special guest in a metal band
- do not mix rhythms and scales from more than five continents
- don´t make unplugged syntheziser music
- don´t play the bass more than one octave above the melody for more than one hour
- do not expect others to listen to your stuff by choice - force them!
these are special rules though. rules that break the rules of rule making. and they rule.
:D right but when it comes to the rules of ruling there are no rules :? or are there?
regardless, those some pretty good rules saxer!



@ vespers... +1 for lapel mic... however, i did watch your vid where you first got that mic. i don't blame you for wanting to use it :wink:
Lapel mics sound like ass. I thought all you audio junkies would prefer sound quality over physical appearance! Am I not on an audio forum???? ;)

only rule you wanna stick by is "it must sound good to the client" if you expect to make any money in this business
