don't know if anyone else has seen it, but there's a pretty sweet interview with ballou in there where he goes over a lot his techniques/workflow/etc.
 
damn...a sweet-ass article by one of the best engineers in heavy music, and no one else saw the shit?

if nothing else, it's worth checking out for his hi-hat bleed contraption alone :zombie:
 
Aya same here, used to get the free one here in Ireland and now for some reason we can't get the paid one since they cancelled the free one, I wasn't able to get it and neither could a mate of mine.

I miss it- by far the best read for me, I get anooyed with alot of the other magazines which often have similar articles every month and keep it simple to appeal to the general masses
 
yeah, can't get tape op here too. someone care to scan and pm?

I've found this quote on the tape op board:

"Indie pop productions require more insight as to the song and lyrics and what kind of feeling the songwriter's trying to evoke. When you're recording a metal band you KNOW what feeling they're trying to evoke. You just think "Satan, Satan, Satan." When you're eq'ing the bass, you're like "Satan, Satan, Satan." The snare drum - "Satan, Satan." It's more the technical challenge of, "How do I achieve the maximum amount of Satan?"

-Kurt Ballou
 
Which one is it ? I got a few copies in the mail (all came at once..) and I've not had a look through them yet.

Or it is the next one?
