We really should have sympathy for the poor guy.
Nah, fook'im!
The only reason to choose a fictional porn star character as your alias is a deep-seated insecurity about your shortcomings behind the zipper.
So not only does he suffer from penis-envy he's also insecure about Andy taking all the business because he's a better engineer and producer.
Shortcomings behind the zipper, shortcomings behind the console,
sad bastard. :zombie:

Agreed. High on Fire is badass. I think Steve Albini is a great engineer. The Neurosis stuff rules. Same with with Andy. Just different styles. I don't see why someone would say one is better than the other. That's just opinion. It's pretty closed minded to say one way is right and one is wrong in recording music. I really hope no one from this forum goes around being a dickhead to other good engineers while praising andy like that penis envy guy did here.
Come on guys, Dirk has a valid point. That's why Focusrite made this firewire dspthingie, to keep everybody happy. Would 20 convoluted analog eq's to choose from on 32 channels do it for him? Or maybe the 40 modelled compressors will change his mind?
Anyway, as this thing is as good as it reads I'll buy some.
499. Phew. That's not that much for 32 channels.

I love the High On Fire record also, but only because the band rules and the songs are great. I absolutely hate the sound of it. I don't hear any of the coolness associated with 2'' on it, either. It actually sounds more like it was recorded in a DAW. I will say that the rawness of the band definitely comes through in the recording, but the articulation is lost in the cacophony. To me, that live and 'roomy' sound doesn't really complement heavy music that well. Maybe that's why the majority of my personal music collection was recorded and/or mixed by Colin Richardson, Andy, Terry Date, Rick Rubin, and Andy Wallace.

Out of curiosity, have you done any analog recording/producing before Andy? Would you consider trying it or what? Solely out of interest I ask...

Meh, I liked the sound of the album. I think the whole live and roomy sound compliments certain bands very well, High on Fire being one of them. :/
On another note, I love analogue tape, I'm no purist though. If I could I'd track analogue and mix digitally, I just love the sound of tape. Different strokes for different folks. There's plenty of good sounding Digitally recorded records though.
Analogue, Digital, doesn't really matter as long as the finished product sounds good.

Albini Tea Boy must be selling his console, because his ebay name must be Mr. Studio.

Hey dudes
my first post
First what kind of name is Dirk Diggler? Sounds like a porn name
Look, I understand the psychology of statements like these. Its all about jealousy and fear. This person who is worried. Its only a matter of a few years before his analog world is utterly destroyed and abandoned. We should pitty a person who is so transparent in his jealousy

You're right, "Tonight" was great, as was "White Lightning," which probably has the best Phil Collen solo ever.

Oddly, my friends who thought (or even still think?) Adrenalize was great as a whole never particularly cared for "Tonight" and questioned the decision to release it as a single. Never figured that out...

I love the entire album, I think the guitars sound great considering they never used a "real" amp and cab on it. I read an interview with Phil once on how they recorded the guitars.
