Don Quixote
We’ve been going to the neighborhood Goodwill store almost every weekend for months. As soon as I walk through the door, I leave Sherry somewhere near the jewelry counter, and I make a bee-line for the records.

While sifting through the Stephen King books, polyester pants, random mismatched golf clubs and orphaned carafes from long dead coffee makers, I stumbled upon a stack of records.

Slipperman’s 10 Commandments of AE Beatdown
If you have done a bit of audio engineering, you may have come across a huge amount of discussion fora on the subject. Most are full of people that talk as if they have a clue, but actually do not. There is one shining exception: the World Of Media Boards, or the “Womb.” If you… Continue reading Slipperman’s 10 Commandments of AE Beatdown
