I need your help

Thumbed up a number of comments. Can't listen to the video here at the office. Been a while since I last watched it. It is MOST excellent. Keeping fingers crossed they will hire you again. If they don't then they are dumb nuts.

Dun. You deserve more credit than it sounds like you are receiving.

It is unfortunately, as they say, a buyers market. The company I work for sends people in for pawn stars episodes as experts, and they pay for NOTHING. People are willing to do anything just to get on pawn stars, so they don't have to entertain any type of demands.

Sucks don't it? Unfortunately in this current day and age it seems that snarky jerks with crap skills are what gets the most hits. I was amazed when Carvin/Keisel guitars was sending all these little toady jerks guitars to demo, and the demos were utter crap. But, those get the youtube hits.

In many ways, everything is becoming like "unscripted" shows: drama and BS.  It's really sad though. These idiots could get far better tone just running through a sans amp pedal into their computer, but instead they use the crap microphone on whatever piece of crap video recorder (probably a phone) they are using.

 
That's why I like Anderton's videos.  They sometimes have too busy editing but I like that they properly mic the amps or go direct if appropriate.  They also kill the mics that aren't on the amps when they play.  And the guys kill the amps when they're talking for more than a few seconds.  

 
Most of that is probably just done in post, if they have any type of real setup. They would usually have the guitar mic on one channel, and the voice mic on another.  Then in post they just cut out the channels that aren't being used. There isn't much of an excuse these days, as pretty much any type of recording setup with mics would allow two channels.

If they are using a cell phone, or mics on the camcorder, well those often are just not good microphones.  The band I was in used to try to record rehearsals with a vocal microphone into some big zoom recording thing.  When I brought my little zoom H2 with mics actually designed to capture sound coming from all directions, the results were infinitely better.  If I was actually motivated, I would make more sound demos with it. Alas, I am not.

 
Great video. They are reversed, however. Your neck position video has the switch on the bridge. Same as the other. Reversed. 

 
It's baffling why the SD guys are not giving your work the props (& CA$H) it deserves. But at least it motivated you to create this new music. I look fwd to the release of your EP. 

 
Didn't know I had a login really since I never actively use it. Greatest comment ever added. B)

You should be able to find other contracts with ease with these videos. Awesome as always!

Have I told you, that Freddy and his old band mates are going to play together again Dec. 30 in one of their favourite clubs? They are supposed to play some of their old songs you'd been mastering years back.
