Hey all,
Thanks to Mike, the Behan Box kit is now up for download in the library!
Here is how Mike describes it:
>Sometimes simpler really is better. I recorded the sounds in this kit
>using one dynamic mic setup about 8 feet behind the throne. I recorded
>to tape on my Tascam 424, then dumped the sounds into my Mac for
>further processing. The kit itself is a no-name beater that my friend
>Tom Behan let me borrow indefinitely, hence the name Behan Box.
>
>I diced up the sounds and sort of "mastered" them individually with
>Cubase, applying eq and maximizer plug ins as needed. I haven't spent
>too much time adjusting levels within the kit, but they seem pretty
>solid. I didn't apply any time based effects like reverb. I prefer
>dbkits that are dry, which allows individuals to slather on their own
>reverb during the process.
>
>This has a kind of "live" sound. I'd hesitate to call it "lo-fi" since
>it has connotations I'd rather avoid, but, technically, it is lo-fi.
>I'll hope you post it and that someone besides me can make use of it.

Ahh, yes- a common medical condition- a constriction of the finger
that causes a shrinkage of the wallet and genitals....
