I absolutely loved, love, and will always love the sound of the “Easy Beat” record. From what i recall, hearing that record was done on minimal equipment. I wish you the best of luck in the future Bill. Dont go too far into debt to create something you could have done 90 percent as good with equipment that costs 1/4th less money. People like indie music to be a little rough and they like personality in recordings. Sometimes if it gets too professional it loses something important. But, to each his own i guess. Once again, best of luck no matter what.

wow so many choices, good thing you waited a bit.
i like the look of that old philly studio, that would be a dream of mine for sure.
would that guy still own it and you rent it and keep up the place?
that could be rough…
or very sweet.

looking forward to hearing what you do.
good luck.

I really love the sound of Rabbit Habits. Was it recorded straight to digital or was tape involved and, if so, how? Was it largely recorded live or was it mainly overdubs? I love the roominess of this album. How did you achieve this? Mainly room mics? Artificial reverb? What reverb units? What other insights can you give on the recording of this album? Thanks.

Hi Bill,
This is a like a gold mine of honest advice for someone like me. I’m pumped that I’ve stumbled upon this website, and I hope that there’s more to come. I’m also a huge fan of dr dog and the sound of the records you and them put out there. I write, perform, and record music of my own and friends of mine, and I hope one day to turn it into something more. Its hard to tell where to start though. What advice would you give someone who is starting up in your profession? I also live in philly, and I dabble in some studies at temple university. But I have wondered if it would be a smart move to major in some like “sound engineering” or something of that nature. On the other hand, I feel like there’s much more to the profession than to simply go to school for it.

Hi Bill,
First of all thank you so much, I really love your advices.
Could you explain a little bit the way you record a bass guitar? I like a lot the vintage/LO-FI sound of Dr.Dog bass lines , but I don’t Know how can I get this sound. I use to play my P-Bass with flats through my orange 2×15 cainte; but I don’t know wich Microphone is better to do the recording. I got a EV-R20, a Sennheiser 421, and an avalon U5 DI, so I get a mix of the D with one of the mics.
