Re: [LAD] twice as loud

On Saturday, July 24, 2010 10:08:34 am Ralf Mardorf did opine: I wondered about that myself. I got stuck mixing for KISS one labor day in the late 70's. All I got for tutorial was which mic/instrument was which knob on the snakes panel that Gene brought to the me in the control room at KIVA-TV in Farmington NM, telling me which jack to get my air audio from. That snake panel was about as homemade as could be. And Gene said if it sounded good to me, it probably was. So I set the axe & drums to hit zero to plus 2, the voices and guitar at about -2 to 0. I recorded about 10 minutes worth and invited Gene into listen to the air check during the NBC portion of the telethon and he was pleased. They were on the road, between shows and had a few hours to kill, so they stopped and volunteered to play music during the local break times for about 4 hours. All were in the famous KISS war paint, which was a little streaked because the local temps were in the low 100's and their bus had no air conditioning. And badly in need of a shower from the BO standpoint, but they did make some fine music for Jerry's Kids that day. Yeah, I mixed for KISS once. NBD. But it does make a nice line on my resume. ;-) -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
